He told me how he sees American students complain about the amount of work they get, then half don’t even do that work. He told me that the students rather just spend time at home watching Netflix.

Marge Piercy’s, The Secretary Chant, describes a woman feeling dehumanized by her job to the point where it consumes her and she becomes the lifeless, inanimate objects she works with. Piercy expresses the secretary’s emotions across in a somewhat humorous way using metaphors, onomatopoeia, and repetition. The whole poem is an extended metaphor comparing a secretary to the office supplies surrounding her. Her role as a human is belittled and she is reduced to functionaries, not seeing herself…

Susan Sontag states that “the essence of camp is love in the unnatural: of artifice and exaggeration”. (pg. 1) This essence is everywhere in “But I’m a Cheerleader”. The entire film runs on a potentially true storyline by making it artificial. This is done by having the film lack seriousness. “Camp is an art that proposes itself seriously, but cannot be taken all together seriously because it is “too much”” (pg. 4). I believe that this phrase perfectly describes “But I’m a Cheerleader”.…
