One day a local radio station talk show host says that two years ago Joan ran her car into a bicyclist who was riding in a bike lane.

Answer:

actual malice, because Joan is a limited-purpose public figure as she voluntarily thrust herself into a public controversy

Explanation:

In law, actual malice is simply a requirement that is imposed on a particular person who claims her image is being tarnished by someone when filing a lawsuit for slander or libel. This will be found in a case where the defendant actually publishes a false statement (libel) or communicates it (slander), knowing fully well that the information is false and disregard for what such information can cause. Joan is actually a limited-purpose figure and decided to go public by making efforts to get her voice out there in a quest to build more bike lanes.

Masja [62]

Answer:

1. He has tetraamelia syndrome which causes his body to have no limbs. In this way, his body has a "tubular" appearance like that of a larp.

2. When he decided to leave the circus of horrors where he performed and hide in a Butterfly Circus truck.

3. Mr. Mendez's conversation about how Will (the man who looks like a caterpillar) can do more about being a freak and the moment when he realized he could swim.

4. He started to present himself as a circus attraction, because of his skills and talents and not because of his syndrome and appearance

5. At the beginning Will is a sad and melancholy man, because of everything that happens and how he is treated in the horror show he participates in. However, when he decides to join Butterfly Circus, he finds himself in an environment where he is treated well and encouraged to be a better person. This makes him change the way he sees himself, the way he behaves and his mood, being a happy person.

Explanation:

Butterfly Circus is an independent short film, set during the Great Depression. In this story we are introduced to Will, who has no arms or legs and performs at the city's horror show. However, this is an environment that makes Will sad, melancholy and hopeless, because he is very badly treated and does not see himself as someone who can do anything but present himself as a freak.

Until he decides to join Butterfly Circus, a circus where people are encouraged to discover their talents and live happily, satisfied with themselves. That's what Will does.
