Or, if you want to save a couple bucks buy a bargain book, with titles by Stephen Kings such as Finders Keepers and Doctor Sleep. With options like this, its easy to see why everyone loves a #spookyread when the weather starts to get chilly and the leaves begin to change.

    Laura Mulvey states in male controlled society “the pleasure in looking is split between the active-male and passive-female.” this is echoed in the dominant forms in film. Classic Hollywood narratives traditionally focus on a male protagonist with an assumed male viewer. Men are presented as controlling characters and treat women as docile objects of desire; this applies to both on screen and to viewers. Women are objectified in relation to the male gaze, showcasing women as an image and men as owner of what is to be viewed.…

    There is little wonder that Mary Austin’s short story, “The Walking Woman,” is often read as a narrative that is teeming with feminist themes. The abundance of feminist strands within the text can hardly be gainsaid. Yet, it is the way in which Austin approaches these themes that makes the tale such a fascinating piece of American literature. “The Walking Woman” rarely veers into the realm of the explicit, instead favoring challenging ambiguity to portray its message, creating a text that frustrates definitive storytelling in concert with its title character’s denunciation of established gender dynamics. Austin’s often cryptic diction reflects the Walking Woman’s own enigmatic nature as well as her place within socially constructed gender norms.…

    “The trouble with lying and deceiving is that their efficiency depends entirely upon a clear notion of the truth that the liar and deceiver wishes to hide” -Hannah Arendt. This quotation expresses the way lying is a coverup for a bigger problem that someone wishes to hide. Lying is done on purpose in order to deceive someone just like in the novel The Girl on the Train. In this novel, characters such as the protagonist, Rachel, an alcoholic and Tom, Rachel’s ex husband both play a role in deceiving others. In The Girl on the Train Hawkins examines the way which lying dismantles people’s communication, creates distance, establishes obstacles, clouds the truth, and breaks up communication through the relationships of Anna and Tom, Rachel and…

    The Tale reveals that the perfectly good woman is powerful, or at least potentially so, insofar as her suffering and submission are fundamentally insubordinate and deeply threatening to men and to the concepts of power and gender identify upon which patriarchal culture is premised (Hansen, 190.) However, the happy ending brings the heroine the dubious reward of permanent union with a man whom the Clerk, embellishing his sources, has characterized as a sadistic tyrant, worst of men and cruelest of husbands (Hansen, 190.) As a final message and a warning for both men and women alike, the Clerk's tale ends with the following…
