Salman Rushdie’s Reality Tv is about real tv shows that manipulate people who watch them. Today we can also see reality shows which affect us and take our time on tv while watching them. Some of us became a fan of these shows. As Rushdie states in the story people do many silly things in the real shows.For instance quarreling, bitching vs. It is true actually because I have seen a tv show called BBG which is a reality show and it is seen that people show many characteristics in there. Rushdie also says that today’s newspapers there are murderers on first pages this is interesting because he states that people may be encouraged by seeing these people on first page and this will spread among people like a virus. If anybody is affected by these he/she can be also in the first page of newspaper which is a disaster I think. This is also a change in our world because when you open the news you can see murders or vs.It has to be in news mostly economic or political thing but some times media show these kind of things much which affects citizens much.

John Cheever’s Enormous Radio is a short story which shows our today’s world reality. The family relations, couple relations are included in this story. Today’s world people are arguing, fighting or complaining about their relations. For instance a married couple may argue all the time so the issue is there is no healthy relations in today’s world. Reality is the and Cheever shows this in his story with the radio sounds. Sounds are the real way of communicating people with each other so fighting or complaining with each other are heard by Irene Westcott who owns the radio. Irene’s family seems perfect but it is not like that. She says ”we are not like that are we husband” so she try to deceive herself by doing that. Irene gives much attention that her husband to that radio because she is afraid that the others also may hear Westcotts but the husband believes that there is not a thing like.

In Turkey, it is obvious that Aydın Doğan is taking the lead of media. He has many radio channels, tv channels and newspapers. So he has a control on media. This can influence the citizens obviously because millions read newspapers and at nights when they go home they hear news on tv. Mr.Doğan has an influence on media power so the citizens could be affected with this. For instance THE PRESIDENT OF TURKEY Mr. ERDOĞAN and Aydın Doğan had a conflict with each other so the media boss reflect this conversation in to his own media instruments. This means the owner has an influence on the content. It is not only limited with newspaper it could be shown on television,on news that the owner can control the content and also the citizens who believe what is written or what is heard.

The film called My Mom’s New Boyfriend is about a mother who changed her physical view after her son’s leaving home. When her son came back to home Henry;the son gets shocked with this new view. In film there is not a father but the son seems dominant on her own mother. He protects her mother from her new boy friends. Henry is engaged with a girl who is with the same job as Henry;who works for FBI. There is no marriage is shown in the film but it could be said that Tomy the mother’s new boy friend who is an art thief, Tomy and the mother could be a family so they can be couples which shows in the end of film. The mother and the son is shown as family members in film and Emily is the fiance of Henry. There is not an exact problem in the family because it can not be said that there is an exact family so there is no problems affect the others.The only problem in film is the mother’s boyfriends but in the end she finds a same old age man.

Connie is a 15 year old teenage who is interested in boys as well as the other girls. She is generally opposite with her mother and because she is young I guess, her mother mostly reminds Connie’s sister who is 24. Many boys are interested with but only Arnold Friend took her attention so much. We can imagine the story’s time by the music of Bob Dylan. So i think that the time is when ”Rock and Roll” theme emerged like 60s. Arnold is a insistent guy because he went to Connie’s house and he stated that he is interested with her by saying ‘ You are cute’. In the end of the story it is not stated that she is staying or going but I think she is obviously going with Arnold instead of staying at home with her complaining mother.

Mary Gaitskill’s  Tiny Smiling Daddy is a story which is I think so feminine. It is feminine because, the main character is lesbian. Kitty is the girl who showed difference with her behaving and I guess  it is because of her family. Although her father gave much attention in her youth, she got bored with this attention in her teenage period. I think it is a period of her like ” look i don’t like playing game with you dad, i got older…” And because of she got bored in her own house, Kitty wanted to get away from her own father and mother so that she moved to another house with her new girlfriend
