Cherry

not saying that the objectification of women is okay. I just think that the objectification of these young girls is horrifying and outright disturbing. For instance the young African American girl in the cherry dress holding paint brushes. The caption uses suggestive language, like “‘Very cherry,’” (Kilbourne 456); or the child who is either naked or just wearing underwear is also sickening. Kilbourne commented on that ad saying, “Other times girls are juxtaposed with grown women, as in the ad…

She wrote the Outsiders because she was angry about the different groups. It’s obvious that the Greasers were viewed as outsiders.

The nameless girlchild is given items stereotypically given to little girls, not necessarily because that is what they want, but because society thinks these domesticated items represent what women should do and be good at. The mention of cherry colored lipsticks emphasizes the importance society places on the physical appearance of women and at how young of an age it is enforced. The poem continues on to tell of this girlchild’s movement into puberty and how “a classmate said: / You have…

A small cry for help resonated through the hallway. This singular voice was soft and gentle, and soon followed by many other female voices. A loud popping sound echoed from the room, silencing them. “Shut your mouths, you worthless whores!” an angry male voice shouted, causing the popping sound. Genma nodded to the surrounding shinobi, motioning them toward the room. They nodded in response, moving down the hallway silently. Another earth-shattering pop resonated, followed quickly by a…

Dichotic Listening: An Investigation of Sound For this report, I chose to focus on dichotic listening. I selected dichotic listening because I am interested in the subject matter, on how the brain function under these types of stimuli. Dichotic listening is a process meant to help us understand how the brain is divided into hemispheres and how those hemispheres differ in functionality. On a psychological level, it is also designed to help us understand selective attention to auditory stimuli.…

Robert Browning’s dramatic monologue, “My Last Duchess” decries the inhibition of individual rights which resulted from the Victorian preoccupation with social status and wealth. Victorian social hierarchy demonstrates the social divisions of people based on their occupation and birthright, in a pre-defined specific ladder. The ekphrastic poem elucidates the possessive and cynical nature of the Duke, who objectifies the Duchess in a painting, “that piece a wonder, now”, revealing both the…
