Amber Lee Ettinger

One of the most obvious cases of this in recent years came in 2007 when the popular YouTube channel BarelyPolitical debuted their Obama Girl character. The channel’s first viral hit, an original music video called “I Got a Crush on Obama,” comedically told the story of a woman who was attracted to the then presidential candidate not only because she found him to be good looking, but also because she agreed with his politics. Lyrics such as “You’re into border security/let’s break this border between you and me” commented on his physical attributes. Other lines from the song, such as “Universal health care reform/it makes me warm,” indicated Obama Girl’s support of Obama’s political ambitions. The viral video, which starred actress Amber Lee Ettinger as Obama Girl, achieved considerable success and cultural impact. As of December 2016, 26.9 million people have seen the video on YouTube. After the successful introduction of Ettinger’s Obama Girl, NBC’s famed television series “Saturday Night Love” invited her to perform in a small cameo role. The video even caught the attention of the Obamas themselves. In an interview with the New York Times, Michelle and Barack Obama admitted that “Crush On Obama” was the source of some awkward and uncomfortable conversations with their then preteen daughters. “I guess it’s too much to ask, but you do wish people would think about what impact their actions have on kids and families,” Obama told the famed newspaper.

not the case; however, it should never be ruled out. Instead, Commander Dickson of the D.C. Metropolitan Police department claimed that the majority of missing children of color are typically runaways, which many people claim is the reason why these cases of missing children lack the sufficient effort and attention they deserve. Unfortunately, runaway children are regarded as less critical than those who are kidnapped. This offers a reason as to why they are usually not publically broadcasted…

Poe never really gives us any details about Annabel Lee herself; she doesn’t talk and we don’t really know what she looks like so this allows the reader to characterize Annabel Lee however they see fit. Also, this could be the poet’s way of showing that she is perfect in his eyes and is made of pure beauty. Annabel Lee is first mentioned in line 4 when the poet refers to her as a “maiden,” which almost makes…

individual can look at a situation in an unorthodox perspective, their position can be altered. This concept is presented in Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird. In the novel, Lee displays varying perspectives on a court case between a black man and a white family. Atticus Finch, the lawyer appointed to the case, changed the perspectives and beliefs of individuals regarding equality, by getting them to look past the promoted beliefs of society. The majority of Maycomb residents see themselves…

In her novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, the social and gender inequalities are the main issues. Lee approaches…

Recently, I have had the literary privilege of reading two great novels, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Go Set a Watchman, both by the renowned Harper Lee. In my reflection of reading these two stories, I viewed one as an innocent example and the other as a wake up call to reality. I agree that the character of Atticus Finch has indeed been added value to – in some ways that most people would not prefer. The fact is, he is the same person in both stories, only to be distinguished by the…
