    Throughout the course of human history and during many different societies, women have been treated as subordinates to men. A recurring theme between civilizations is that men are the superior sex, and a woman’s main role in society was to bare offspring. Although Muslim societies are not the first societies to have a patriarchal hierarchy, they have some of the most prominent male-dominated societies that persist into modern times. The role of real women in a genuine Islamic society can be observed through Rafea Anad’s life in the documentary Solar Mamas; however, Disney’s Aladdin also provides another fictional yet sometimes accurate depiction of a women in a similar Islamic society but from a different socioeconomic background. Muslims live…

They’re then trained using tactics that cause them panic and pain, in attempt to break them of their own free will.

    Roses are red, violets are blue, but O’Connor’s tale paints romance a new hue. If you are reading a story that ends with ‘they all lived happily ever after’ you can bet it’s not the read The Life You Save Might Be Your Own. The author shows us that love doesn’t guarantee happiness and in fact it could curse us. Through this ironic mockery of love, Flannery O'Connor illustrates a new style of this genre: a fairy tale aways from a fairy tale, average looking lovers, a greedy mother, and no, there is no hero nor happily ever after. First and foremost, there was no true love within the entire story.…

    I know the value held in the evening between the mother and her daughter, and the thoughts that go beyond her smile. The visual details of this photo will never be able to tell us the depth of what the lady may be thinking, and just why she has that expression on her face. The photo simply shows us one moment in time, while the written narrative tells the entire story. The photograph captures the memory of the moment and turns it into many possible stories. Any one of these stories is then interconnected with what is told in the photo and what is not told outside the true narrative.…
