The Vinny Princess Analysis

Improved Essays
The resolution in The Vinyl Princess, was atrocious because it was very confusing and awkward. One example of this is towards the end of the book, Allie and Zach, Your Berkeley Fan, finally meet but never officially become a couple. This was very upsetting, making a book about a girl trying to find love in a small run down place makes the reader want to see them be a couple. Yvonne also included awkward moments in their “dates”, for example she says, "'You got a blog figured out for tomorrow, Veep?' he asked. He calls me Veep now, short for Vinyl Princess. 'Bob Dylan, Nashville Skyline, and Bob Marley, Uprising.' Zach nodded. 'Cool'" (Prinz 313). This quote is important because it shows how awkward Zach is toward Allie. In their relationship,

    When examining the African American Civil Rights Movement from a historical perspective, historians and scholars have focused predominantly on the lives and influences of a few, celebrated characters. For example, early abolitionist advocates, such as Sojourner Truth, William Lloyd Garrison, and Frederick Douglass, and twentieth-century civil rights leaders Ida B. Wells, Rosa Parks, and Martin Luther King Jr. have received significant attention and justifiably achieved revered status among scholars and non-academics alike. However, few individuals beyond the narrow world of academia have heard of America’s first, southern, female abolitionists, Sarah and Angelina Grimké. The Grimké sisters, who belonged to the powerful planter aristocracy in…

    Introduction Lorraine Bayard de Volo’s article, “Unmanned? Gender Recalibrations and the Rise of Drone Warfare” (2016), presents an interesting critique of drone warfare through a gendered lens. As such, this review of Bayard de Volo’s article will argue that although the article properly identifies the background and addresses the importance of the rising significance of drone warfare and its effect on the dynamic of gender and politics, she fails to explicitly address her assumption of drone warfare based solely on the use of examining American drone warfare. This review will first begin by summarizing Bayard de Volo’s argument before contextualizing her article within the course content. Then, this review will highlight the strengths before…

    Anne Sexton and Maxine Kumin grew to be friends during a poetry workshop in Boston. Their confessional style poetry guided them into writing three children’s novels together and assisting each other in their writing, which strengthened their friendship further. Anne Sexton and Maxine Kumin scatter similes and metaphors to bring the reader into a feeling of nostalgia through the themes of a favorite childhood fairy tale and friendship. Both poets accomplish this through a sarcastic tone, and but Sexton’s sarcasm is filtered to appear joyful while Kumin’s sarcasm is meant to emphasize an established friendship.…

    Vavius Livy Analysis

    • 7 Pages

    Throughout antiquity, monarchs attempted to legitimize their governance in ways that prescribed to societal ways of thinking, the historian Titus Livius, Livy, writes on a period in which this is quite apparent. Livy’s writings suggest that early Rome was a sort of meritocracy; the monarchs were generally selected by the people based on their piety and virtue, their ancestors’ piety or virtue, or their own actions and successes in war. The kings of Rome were not uniform in nature, some kings were Romans, others foreigners; some kings were great conquerors, others pious administrators. However, what the Roman kings did have in common was the justification for their rule stemming from merit, rather than royal lineages. To qualify that, merit…

    The film, Miss Evers’ Boys was about an inhumane study of African American men suffering from syphilis. The film evolved around Eunice Evers, a nurse in a local Tuskegee hospital and her statement about the “Tuskegee study”. Dr. Brodus, the head doctor of the local Tuskegee hospital along with Nurse Evers were given fund to treat men with syphilis or what they called “bad blood” (Benedetti, Fishburne, Kavanagh, Konwiser & Sargent, 1997). These men were not very educated, and their health literacy were very low, so Nurse Evers had to use words that they could understand. After a while, the fund for the treatment diminished and they were not able to continue treating these men.…

    Madame de Lafayette examines the theme of jealousy stemming from self-love in her novel, The Princess of Cleves. This idea of self-interested jealousy was studied by multiple intellects of the time, including Thomas Hobbes and Francois de La Rochefoucauld. These men greatly contributed their ideas to the incredibly introspective age of the 1600s, illustrating the idea that the actions a person takes in everyday life are fundamentally ingrained in their own self-interest. Despite being self-motivated, these jealous actions are counterproductive and result in the inability for a person to be satisfied and happy. Madame de Lafayette proves in her revolutionary psychological novel, The Princess of Cleves, that jealousy is a dangerous and destructive…

    Queen's house, designed by architect Inigo Jones was the first pure classical building in Britain and brought a revolution into the architectural scene. Inigo Jones was inspired by his travels in Italy and especially his second visit in 1613 where he visited major cities and buildings and compared theory with practice, from then on his style of architecture took a new form. I want to explore the originality of Queen's house, how much of the design came from Inigo Jones the architect and how much came from Inigo Jones the posthumous sponsor of Palladianism, as he is often referred to. Andrea Palladio is often seen as the main inspiration to building Queen's house and Jones took his treaties 'I quattro libri dell'architettura' as an architectural…

    Powerful women don’t fare well in histories when looked at through the lens of a patriarchal society. It speaks volumes that Visenya Targaryen is still respected by the Maesters as both a Warrior and a Queen and not dismissed because she’s “on her moonblood.” The Conquest was not a solo project, yet her brother got the credit in the stories while his sisters got hills in Kings Landing named after them. She was a founding mother that helped set the stage for everyone that followed her.…

    Robert Browning’s poetry shows the power imbalances in male and female relationships and often takes the form of dramatic monologue to show the differences between men’s motivations and women’s. In Browning’s ‘My Last Duchess’, an authoritative and rich Duke is made to feel powerless as a result of his wife’s misplaced affections. The favourable qualities of his wife, such as her kindness and gratitude, are interpreted by the duke as offences, “as if she ranked my gift of a nine-hundred-years-old name with anybody’s gift”, implying possessiveness and unruly emotions such as jealousy can cloud judgement. This is interesting as generally a man would be thought of as being more rational, and a woman as being ruled by her emotions.…

Maud Martha possesses aspects of the novel such as setting, characters, and relationships between those characters. However, though the novel is linear, there is no defining plot.
