The film, Bernie, is about a single, middle aged, Christian, white man named Bernie Tiede who has an occupation as a mortician. Bernie is beloved by everyone in his small town of Carthage, Texas. He is fantastic at his job, a great friend, generous, and an overall kind and caring person. It is believed by some people in the town that he might be gay because he has never had a girlfriend, and he is mostly very friendly to older women, but there is no confirmation about his sexual identity throughout the film. There is no background given on Bernie’s family or his upbringing. All the viewer knows about Bernie is what they see in the film. The film is documentary style with interviews of Carthage’s residents attesting to Bernie’s character (Linklater, 2011). Because Bernie is such a kind and thoughtful person, he brings flowers and other gifts to grieving widows of the deceased, which he comes across at his job. A specific woman in the town, Marjorie Nugent, becomes a widow during the film. Marjorie is very much disliked by the residents of Carthage. She is a wealthy, elderly woman, and she is generally rude and unpleasant to be around. She is even referred to as a “Bitch” by one of the residents of the town (Linklater, 2011). After Marjorie’s husband dies, Bernie brings her gifts, and she lets him into her home. They quickly become good friends, despite the age difference between the two. Some people in the town believed it to be a romantic relationship, while others saw it as…

pairing can any entity be complete.” (Reichard 1950, 29). Thus, the traditional Navajo housing structure, a hogan (hooghan), emphasizes this core idea, since the belief is that all natural things have both a male and female aspect for balance. Accordingly, this sense of balance is symbolized in the function and construction of both aspects of the hogan. The hogan’s male aspect is the conical, fork-stick hogan (alchi adeeza), whilst the round hogan (hooghan nimazi) is considered the female…

people might have used that product but they are using a performance enhancer too. Take the action figure GI Joe. When the action figure first came out his arms were 12 inches and his body looked like a normal man. Ten year later a new GI Joe was made that had a six pack, chest, and 14 inch arms. Then another ten years later; the GI Joe now is ripped, has a full six pack of abs, chiseled chest, serratics muscle showing, and has 16 inch arms. (Pope 2008, 1:15.47). Just years later; they made a GI…

A skylight! It had to be, what else could be up there that would need to be covered like that. It was so faintly irradiated, the casual observer would have to wonder how he could be so sure this was a skylight, but the man had hope. Nothing else empowers the human will quite like hope does. So with this hope in his heart, the man set out to reach for the sky. He kept the fires going, but drew them in closer to maximize the lighting he needed. He then began to stack books. One by one, he took…

“You can have a wrestling idea, but you need these momentum shifting moves.. We had the Hulkamania movement, then it shifted to the beer drinking, Stone Cold era. We reinvented the business with becoming the bad guy. What’s the next level?” (“Hulk Hogan’s Quotes”). This quote by former WWE wrestler Hulk Hogan illustrates the change of the wrestling industry. A man who was the accelerant to that change was “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. Born in Austin Texas, Steve grew up in a low income family. He…

Some of you will remember this story. It was ten years ago, and I was employed then as a forensic psychologist in Marin County. Much of my work involved talking to criminals, then testifying as to their sanity in a court of law. On the afternoon this all began, for example — that afternoon when I blacked out in Sara Johnson’s apartment — I was scheduled to examine a man who’d been accused of strangling his wife. Because of that incident, and all that has happened since, I know many people will…

My best friend, Zane was everything I wanted to be at that time in my life. He was well liked by all, fearless despite his smaller size, and always had a can-do attitude that some times got him in trouble. I wanted to be like him, and his dad was the one that made Zane the guy I wanted to be. The first time I met Jeff, was in 7th grade football camp, so naturally we called him Coach. He was short, stocky, and half balding covered by an old floppy bucket hat. But his most distinctive feature was…
