birds. The boy, Felix, takes us on a tour of his last year in high school explaining how he came to inherit the park from his father and loses his best friend in the process. The narrator, Felix, feels caged and out-of-place, much like the imported flamingos he cares for. He considers the choices he might have made and daydreams about how his life might have turned out differently. And in a kind of dialogue with the bird, he reflects on his cultural and sexual identity. A theatrical…

to the population to white men. So why just aim it towards the black men? When I looked at the birthday cards between the men and women. I noticed that the cards for women are very girly and they only read English. A lot of the cards for women were pink, had flowers and glitter on them. The cards for the men were darker colors such as brown, black, dark blue and dark green. They were very manly and they only read English as well. I didn’t not see any Spanish cards for people of other cultures. I…

Hello, I’m Chelsea Elizabeth McDaniel and this is my personal narrative! I was born in Phoenix, Arizona and lived in a large, one story house with my half-sister who at the time was 8 and my half-brother who at the time was 10. I went to Madison Elementary and then when I was 6 it was summer time, I went out back to see my dad having a drink on “the rocks” and for some reason I asked, “Hey Dad, are we ever going to move?”. I wasn’t expecting to wake up the next afternoon to the house entirely…

The Nina Ricci print advert is bright and smartly done.

Underneath the Brand’s name it has the perfume tagline/slogan written in…

shades of pinks, reds, and yellows. The piece is on white paper, with a pink box that has yellow panels coming out of the left and right sides. A pinkish-red sphere, that gets lighter both towards its center and towards the outside sits in the center. It has a faint white slit in the middle.

They are also half way into the pink…

About a week later, I geared up in my brown, spaghetti-strap tank top, denim shorts, and busted converse to attend my first practice. My dad supplied me with a pink and black Rawlings glove from Walmart, along with a neon pink helmet with a black caged face mask and a pink bat, also from Walmart. If you couldn’t tell- I enjoyed the color pink. I showed up to the field, not really nervous but somewhat anxious to see if softball would be something I enjoyed. I’m not going to be dramatic and claim…

clothing or handbags and products that look ‘cute’ have enabled me to purchase it because it looks cute. As an example, I have purchased a hot pink jumpsuit because I thought it was ‘cute’; however, I did not realise that I purchased the product not because of the colour but that I wanted to depict a statement to those around me that I do like the colour pink, that I am…

In “The problem with separate toys for girls and boys” Hains explains that gender rigid toys negatively impact children’s psychological development. That is the case she claims, because this marketing strategy tells children who they should be, how they should behave, and what they should be interested in. However, children are supposed to use play as a way to try on new roles, experiment, and explore interests (Hains 2015). Another problem is that gendered toys are causing children to stop…

give space for individualized emotions and responses to each group, as the colors and actions of each figure or group of figures differs—the greener figures seem to have more of a sense of melancholy in their actions, picking at the grass, than the pink figures do in their amorous connections and music…
