They were all manifestations of what was taking place in society as a whole (Webb 2013).” Cindy was a performer herself, so it’s a no brainer that she looked to celebrities in the media for dress inspiration.

Cindy is photographed while wearing an afro (see Figure 1). “Afro hairstyle in African American communities was a fad (Lord, 1973).” She recalls going to the hair salon and getting her afro blown out and trimmed just like Angela Davis.

friend; however in this film, all Lars needed was a blow-up doll named Bianca, and a community that was willing to challenge their perception of what is considered to be normal in order to help Lars cope with distress. It was beautiful and even somehow magical the way “Lars and the Real Girl” shows us that sometimes the saying is true, that all people ready need is love to overcome anything. And help us rethink what distress is and reevaluating our treatment method for treating people with…

Kate does not act like a shrew because that is who she is; she acts like one because she is unhappy and desperate. Her…

As a small child, maybe I was six or seven, I knew I was to take care of myself and try as hard as I could not to be dependent on my parents. My father was often tired but would take care of me as any parent would, buying…

Once upon a time, those adventures were everything to me. Ven, Silas and me. Everyone knew we were the three musketeers, the three amigos, and to some’s surprise, the two boys were content with my never-waring presence. Looking back now, I realize how lucky I was. Most older brother’s barely bothered with their younger siblings, let alone a little sister. They would occasionally spend time with them when pressured by their parents, but never out of their own choosing. Silas seemed to always want…
