Applied Theory: New Criticism

I related this activity with New Criticism Theory because like New Cristism in tries to avoid other aspects of the text(such as its historical background) but merely focused on the text alone. This activity a member is blindfolded and he/she should be able to finish the maze without getting the bottle fall in the ground. The player  should  focused only to the voice of the leader so that he will able to surpass all the obstacles in the field. Focusing on the voice of the leader alone will help him to understand fully the direction he/she must follow likewise focusing on the text alone will help the critic to fully comprehend and grasp the meaning of such text.

Activity Description 

Have you seen Dr. Jose Rizal recently? Well, it's been a while since I saw him drowning at the moment. Save him from misery.

Applied Theory: Symbolic or Mythic Theory 

This activity is associated to the theory of Symbolic because this activity symbolizes the life of Jose Rizal as a sacrifice to get the country's freedom. The game is all about collecting  all the 1 peso coins in the water. The 1 peso coins remind us how much our national hero love our country. The water symbolizes sacrifice.This activity where we ought to dive to look for the coins symbolizes our turn to be a hero, meaning, as the future of this generation it is about time to help our country like what Rizal did.

Activity Description

The doctor is out OMG! You have to save your group! You don't need to be a doctor to save them! A heart jam-packed of determination could salt away your group from losing.

Applied Theory:Marxism

On this activity I remember one of the episodes on i witness which tackled about how people in isolated areas struggle to bring the sick people to hospital. The lack of facilities and mode of transportation lead them to have what we called in Tagalog ambulansayang de paa. Well this also implies how lucky the people are in urban areas as compared to those who lived in provinces or rural areas. This thought made me deduced that this activity can be linked to Marxism theory. The Marxism theory emphasized social struggle such social struggle that can be associated with the activity is the struggle between the rich and the poor. As we observed in our society those in high social status(the rich and known people) have a better  access to medicine services (like having better mode of transportation-ambulance service)unlike with those who are poor.
