        be happy in life. - Active

        screaming loudly and playing in the mud - to
        classical female stereotypes. - Active

        shows how Hushpuppy is a
        tough young lady.
      - Hushpuppy is show to be more
        powerful as she is running when
        all the other girls were being carried.
      - We are aligned with Hushpuppy
        throughout this scene as we follow
        her around, and she controls her
        own story.
    - - The celebration shows us that the
        Bathtub community is very close.
      - The run down houses show us that
        the people living in the Bathtub are poor.
      - "Ain't that ugly over there." says
        Hushpuppy's dad while looking at the
        civilization on the other side of the wall.
      - Peaceful and isolated shot of the Bathtub
        and boat on the river is calming. It
        contrasts with the world behind the wall.

        that the people living in the Bathtub are
        happy living there and are having fun.

        Telling her what she should be like.
    - - We see and feel what Hushpuppy
        does leading us to disliking the hospital
        as well.
        
        We don't see the worker's faces and this
        dehumanises them. It makes them look
        more untrusthworthy as we dont know who
        they are.
      - Binary oppositions makes the hospital
        negative and the Bathtub positive.
      - Low-key lighting in the Bathtub makes
        Hushpuppy look powerful and though.
      - High-key lighting with muted colours in
        the hospital makes Hushpuppy look weak.
      - Aligned with Hushpuppy as we are
        disoriented in the hospital and lost,
        much like she is.
