Bones By Kenya Killgrove Summary

Improved Essays
The review that I have chosen to review is a review of the latest episode of one of my favorite television shows, the Fox network drama Bones. The author of this review is Kristina Killgrove, and her review goes over the various aspects of the episode, including the plot, and the accuracy of the anthropology part of the show. The author’s main point on this episode of bones, is that the episode was just a regular episode, in which nothing detrimental to the overall plot of the story takes place. Killgrove review starts off with a basic summary of the episode. It then turns to the various flaws the writing staff made when they incorporated anthropology aspects into the show. However, in this episode, Killgrove is satisfied with the accuracy …show more content…
The episode before this one, Brennan’s father was killed by a man that was after Booth. This causes Brennan to experience great grief for her fallen father, and this causes her to push Booth away. This makes Booth feel terrible, as he wants too be there for her, but the fact that she pushes him away makes Booth think that she partially blames him for her father's death. This portion of the episode really stuck to me, because the way that Brennan teated Booth is unacceptable in my mind. He was just trying to help her in her time of need, only for her to push him away, causing Booth too feel guilt. I felt like this should have been included in the review, because I see this as a major point of character development, and way more important too the episode than the author’s little nit picks. There were some passages of Killgrove review that were difficult to understand, but the one that stood out to me was her perception of Brennan’s father, Max. Killgrove view of Brennan's father was completely different than mine. Her view stated “Max, was not a interesting character, and that his absence will not be impactful to the remainder of the story.” I find this hard to understand, as Max was one of my favorite characters in the show, and played key roles in many of the main story arcs through the show’s

    Stefan Babich in his article, “The Fall of The Female Protagonist in Kids’ Movies” writes about the idea of a female protagonist dying in the “animation war” (n. pag.). He writes about how in recent days animation movies do not have a female protagonist who isn’t the cookie cutter princess. This is very similar to the view in Amanda Marcotte’s article titled, “The Shocking Radicalism of ‘Brave’” where she talks about how “Brave” is a movie that seemed to try to fall out of the algorithm but eventually is from the same mold of movies that the Disney movies come from (Marcotte n. pag.). Although both Babich and Marcotte have similar views on the topic, Marcotte’s article seems to focus on women 's role in society (which does account for a…

    In the essay “Stripped for parts” written, by Jennifer Khan the general concept she is addressing is how morbid it is for dead people and their bodies to be harvested for it organs. The way she starts the essay is by using a narrative approach, and the reason there is the narrative approach is for more effect of emotion to the readers. Her thesis statement that grabbed my attention the most was “Compared with such micro scare cures, transplants- which consist of salvaging entire organs from a heart- beating cadaver and sewing them into a different body- seem crudely mechanical, even medieval (124.) ” This was the quote that best fit the essays perspective since it really brings up how it is not okay for this to be done to people.

    The Lovely Bones’s setting is important considering it was back in the 1970s, when people didn’t comprehend such horrible events such as the following: murder, rape, and kidnapping. In the 1970s people had just begun to realize that kids were disappearing, being killed, raped, and other horrible acts, whereas in today’s society, it’s a common occurrence. Susie said in her narration that “This was before kids of all races and genders started appearing on milk cartons or in the daily mail” (Sebold 5). Therefore, this quotation clearly establishes the setting so people can understand that it was much different when Susie died; and why people didn’t suspect it was Mr. Harvey.…
