Charleston, South Carolina, the jewel of the south. A town that time has yet to permeate, where horse drawn carriages still serve as a mode of transportation, resulting in over 4.5 million visitors every year (“In Charleston, S.C., Resistance to Cruise Ships”).

The implementation of film and literary techniques support the conveyance of these ideas which ultimately fashion the ever-present theme of isolation.…

Additionally, sociocultural theory can take on different approaches such as zone of proximal development and tools and mediation. At the sight of observation, the learning activity was a guided reading lesson.…
