I am grateful for all the encouragement, help and ideas he gave me throughout the writing. He was the one who helped me to figure out the subject of my work which I am especially thankful for as it has been such a pleasure working on it! Secondly, I want to thank my boyfriend Patrick who shared enthusiasm for my subject, inspired me, and always encouraged me to keep up even when my mood was down. Also my friend Sarah who gave me a feedback on my thesis was a very big help and I am grateful. A special thank you goes to my parents who always believed in me and supported me. Thanks to all the teachers and professors who provided me with the necessary baggage of knowledge which I will now proudly carry through life. iii Foreword In my previous research paper I wrote about film discourse, thus, this time I wanted to continue with it but have something new, some kind of challenge which would interest me. After a conversation with my thesis guide, Professor Slembrouck, we decided to stick on to film discourse but to expand it.

  • Coping with Cabin Fever
    COVID-19 Coping with cabin fever This is a very stressful time. You may be worried about getting COVID-19 or afraid that someone you care about will get it. If you’ve lost your job, you may be anxious about your finances. On top of that, you’re probably stuck at home. Cabin fever can set in. You may feel trapped, bored, and irritable. Cabin fever is no joke. It can lead to depression or self-harm. If you live with others, it may cause you to lash out at them. Here are some ideas that may help you cope. Try to stay on a regular schedule. Having a normal routine may help you feel better. Try to get up and go to bed at your usual times. Eat meals when you normally would. If you have kids, try to keep them on a schedule too. It’s a good idea to have a set time for schoolwork and a limit on screen time. But don’t be too hard on yourself if it doesn’t always go as planned. Get outside if you can. Fresh air and sunshine are good for both your mind and your body. If you can, go out for a walk or a bike ride. If you can’t go out, try to spend time near a window where you can get some natural light. Take care of your health. Be careful of sleeping too much or snacking too much. Try to eat healthy foods, get enough rest, and be active. Limit or avoid caffeine and alcohol.
