[Introduction]
A Revelation is described as a disclosure of which it reveals something that was previously unaware of. It is the different ways one is exposed to the truth in which it reveals a new insight of the person, changing the perspective of what one may think compared to what he/she had previously thought. A revelation is not always revealed at an instant, though it can also be a process in which it takes a duration of time. A revelation can take a day or a year to discover that was not recognized before. A trope is a familiar person, place or thing that one may see as repeated, similar to a cliché. An example of a revelation trope would be a realization of one’s sexual orientation after experiencing some form of affection towards the same sex. It is a trope because it is common for a person to recognize his/her own sexual orientation whether one is straight, gay/Lesbian or Bi. Revelation tropes are introduced by a revealer, whom he/she tries to uncover the truth about an unacceptable situation, seen in their own perception. It delivers a message in which a majority of people might not accept because it reveals a fact that most people do not want to hear for it might not have a kind of benefit for ones self. A person can recognize a revelation, given in different stories, by trying to figure out what the message the story may be.


>>>>By deconstructing the story, or statement, one can understand the real message behind what might be a falst statement.

[Fox Fire]
Most people have discovered revelations by undergoing an experience that made them realize what may be best for his/her own benefit. In the movie Fox Fire, Angelina Joli played a character named Legs, a revealer in most situations, where she influenced a group of high school girls to revolt against their teacher. The issue that was introduced in the movie was about a high school girl who was sexually abused by her teacher during school detention hours. The revelation trope found in Foxfire was when the selected girls resisted against the truth about their teacher. A few girls turned against the scheme of hurting the teacher while others did not want to believe the sexual harrasment was the truth. Legs took the initiative to try to motivate the girls to fight back the teacher to demand self respect. The girls eventually fought against the teacher which gained them their respect. The Message that was taken place was to fight the superior in order to save the girl from being harassed again.
