I Love Pattie Analysis

Decent Essays
Moreover, you mention that you don’t think Robert loved Pattie because they were in relationship for years but Robert did not want to marry her and even lied to his parents about being married to her. The issue is that even though they dated for several years, it does not mean they were ready to get married. They suffered from difficulties such as lack of funding and it was not long before they both discovered that he was gay. You also mention that he was "selfish" and abandoned love for lust. I don’t see it that way. He was not being selfish, he just finally decided to accept himself for who he truly feels. The lacks of social recognition and homophobic atmosphere of that time, made him lie to himself, his family and society because he was scared of being judged for the way he feels and his desires. …show more content…
It was very brave and sincere of him to come out, he could have had never told anyone and even marry smith and live a fake live instead of risking all the hate that knew he was going to receive from society. However, he risked losing his carrier and the support of Pattie and his family and preferred to be honest to her. May be he came clean to her out of love, because he could not deceive someone he loved into thinking he was sexually satisfied with her. True love doesn’t require a title or a sexual attraction; it is merely respecting and caring for the other person no matter what. Therefore, I suggest that you explain your point further to make it more

    Music and society have a large impact on each other, and how they shape the way people view and act in the world. There are four themes that identify and characterize how music has evolved over the past one hundred years. These themes also show how music affects and expresses the culture that not only we live in today, but also how we have changed in our views on numerous aspects of today’s society. The four themes that are explored directly with a specific artist and, or, band are how they impact society, politics, and several cultural issues that have stood the test of time and the way race, class, and gender are expressed in music. The development of the music industry and the technology used in it are widely affected by the change in music over decades, but also by outstanding individuals during their careers, which span over a variable amount of time.…

    Alike To Dougy Analysis

    Alike to “Dougy”, the text “School ties also contains a very large amount of racism. A harsh example of this is the sign placed on the wall of David’s room containing a Swastika symbol and the text “go home jew”. This is extremely racist as it was an intentional reminder of the things the Nazi’s did to Jewish people during the Holocaust and the writing is implying that he should go home only because he is Jewish. Another example of this is when Charlie Dylan made a racist joke that talked about Jewish people joining the airforce as they heard there was a gold mine in the sky. This is a racist stereotype the implies that Jewish people are Greedy and will do anything for wealth.…

    “I had this rare privilege of being able to pursue in my adult life, what had been my childhood dream.” This quote by Andrew Wiles might as well represent what happened to Patti and Robert in terms of their art, which seem to be the opposite of who they used to be as children. The book Just Kids explained how both Robert’s and Patti’s childhood influenced their work of art. Just Kids begins by explaining the core of Patti’s and Robert’s art, which is their childhood.

    Straight Laced Analysis

    Starting off with the movie that we watched in class “Straight Laced” I thought that was a very interesting movie and something that gave me personally a lot of perspective and sort of opened my eyes a little bit. Because I am from a big city (washington Dc), I am used to being around people who are openly gay or openly transgender. But it really made me think about my high school. My high school was in the city and prided itself on diversity when in reality it was not that diverse. I think that my high school was similar to the movie.…

    When presented with the Labouchere Amendment in 1885, Queen Victoria refused to sign due to the references to lesbianism saying, “Women didn’t do such things”. It’s an entertaining story and yet, it’s a myth, one that began circulating in the 1970’s (“Background: Myth on Victorian and ban on Homosexuality”), and its popularity continues since it fits with the modern idea of prudish, sexually repressed Victorians. While we don’t know Queen Victoria’s views on homosexuality, we do know she had a happy, fulfilling sexual relationship with her husband and therein lies the dichotomy about the Victorian’s attitude to sexuality and gender, too reticent to speak about sexual matters in plain words and yet sexuality and gender roles was at the…

    Throughout this entire article, “Don’t Blame the Eater” by David Zinczenko, Zinczenko tells his readers how we as a society shouldn’t put all of the blame for young adults and children getting fat on them. We need to put more of the blame in this situation on the fast food restaurants not the “eaters.” Zinczenko admits he was one of these kids, his father was out of the picture trying to fix his life, and his mom was having to work a full time job to pay the bills. So lunch and dinner for him was an option between McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Pizza. He admits that times have still not changed much since then and still in today’s society these are the only options for younger people to get affordable meals that are left…

    When comparing my personality with each of the Pevensie children, I find I have something in common with each child. I would like to say that I am as responsible and courageous as Peter, but I am not nearly as direct or charismatic. In some way, I can say I am rational and caring like Susan, yet I trust my intuition over reason. I could also find similarities between Edmund and me in that I am quiet and have a difficult time with change. However, unlike Edmund, I have a strong inside moral compass and I don’t try to rationalize making the wrong decision.…
