The tone behind this particular chapter is increasingly more loving, caring and human. Hector, the son of the king and queen of Troy, brother to Paris, must return to Troy to fight. When he finds his wife Andromache, and his newborn son Astyanax, and informs her that he is returning to the fight, she is grief stricken. She cries to him "Reckless one- my Hector! Your own…

Fieldwork challenges are salient in both of Mendoza (2008) and Peterson (2011), as both of them have worked with the youth and in classroom setting, and deconstructed presuppositions that both had or encountered. What is interesting, and perhaps related to my situation, is that Mendoza was categorized as doing “auto-ethnography”, which is in my case critical, and thus not showcasing my optionality will be detrimental to my research. Starting with a surface deconstruction of the sign system used…

police would then make all the people in the bar line up and their ID would be checked. If they did not have an ID, were in drag, or were a woman not wearing at least three pieces of “feminine clothing” they would be arrested.

Name the media you are discussing in this paper. What does Kimmel have to say about this kind of media as both reflecting gender difference and producing gender inequality?

Considering, Shakespeare invokes feelings of anxiety and makes many students want to shudder in fear, this task was not to be taken lightly. A movie critic Mick LaSalle argues that the modern-day remake is a complete tragedy and eliminates all emotion that the play has to offer, I am going to argue that Baz Luhrmann's modernization…

Transgenders are often called drag queens, gay or lesbian. Being transgender does not necessarily mean they are attracted to the same sex as their gender born identity. The most common impact of sexual discrimination is suicide, especially in adolescents. Race and ethnicity also play…

choice of boxes. They know that she is American, but they are asking where she was originally from. This, according to Sepiso, “suggests that she cannot validate her sense of belonging to this place.” This question makes her feel like it’s necessary to drag out her pre-rehearsed response that would satisfy their need for the information, even though her identity has nothing to do with where her ancestors were from. At the end of the text, she talks about how they would “learn to keep their boxes…

from the previous statement is that the water did clear her physically body but could not reach her subsumed mind. She needed the holy water of the Lord to cleanse her and give her the remission of her sins. Now the devil will consume her soul and drag her down into the depths of…

This can be easily seen throughout her description by the other characters. In the following quote, Lucy is explaining to Edmund who the White Witch is: “She is a perfectly terrible person, said Lucy. She calls herself the Queen of Narnia thought she has no right to be queen at all and […] at least all the good ones—simply hate her. And she can turn people into stone and do all kinds of horrible things. And she has made a magic so that it is always winter in Narnia—always winter, but it never…
