    Superbad, one of the most iconic bromance films of all time. When asked what this movie is about, many say two things; at first glance, on the surface it seems like this film is all about going through hell just to get laid and to get alcohol, but I’d argue that there is a deeper part of the story, it is about two bros dealing with some “relationship problems”. Those two bros are Seth and Evan. Seth and Evan have been life long friends and are now coming to the end of their senior year of high school and are preparing for college life. The only problem is that they are both going to different colleges, and are experiencing some separation anxiety as if they were in a romantic relationship.…

    No man feels left out in the test of masculinity. The play, The Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller’s The Death of a Salesman have their male characters’ different perspectives on masculinity yet the same goal on proving they are masculine. Despite all the characters’ differences, they all want to fit into this idea of themselves being masculine to the point of incorporating it into their actions, words, achievements, goals, and frustration. Male characters like Mitch and Bernard are downplayed as un-masculine yet they have their ways in disproving the un-masculine beliefs with their long term achievements. Other characters that are the epitome of masculinity, or of their definition of masculinity, like Stanley…

    The Devil has been portrayed in thousands of stories, shows and movies. How this character appears varies from story to story. Some show the Devil as a red man with horns, others as a normal person. “Young Goodman Brown”, which portrays the Devil as the later, is about how everyone is sinful, while “The Man in the Black Suit”, which portrays the Devil as more of the former, is about how the Devil comes for us all. While both “Young Goodman Brown” and “The Man in the Black Suit” show the danger of Devil like figures, they both have different risks involved, demonstrating that stories with similar antagonists can still have very different themes.…

    Race is a social issue that has been discussed for many years, and the fact that individuals are still presently talking about their experiences with race-related conversations is disheartening. Drew Hayden Taylor’s essay, “Pretty Like a White Boy: The Adventures of a Blue Eyed Ojibway”, is about Taylor’s experiences as a half-Ojibway and half-Caucasian Canadian, and in that essay, he uses the term “Special Occasion” to describe himself. Wayson Choy’s essay, “I’m a Banana and Proud of It”, is about being one of many “bananas”, assimilated Chinese immigrants. Taylor and Choy are two Canadian authors who faced racial prejudices throughout their lives and documented their experiences in their respective essays. While “Special Occasion” and “banana” are clever terms, Choy’s use of the word “banana” stands out in terms of simplicity, how often the word is used and his opinion on the word.…

    In Michael Omi’s essay “In living Color: Race and American Culture,” he describes how racism still exists today, but portrayed differently than just a few decades ago. First, Omi discusses how overt racism (openly showing one’s racism) does not seem as popular today as with generations before us. For example, the Ku Klux Klan became highly popular in terrorizing, murdering, and assaulting minorities. Today, the Ku Klux Klan has become less popular, but we still run into overt racism, such as when Al Campanis stated that blacks do not hold management positions in big industries because the African American community contributes more to society as athletes (Omi 540). Al Campanis theory states that due to the African Americans body structure and…
