a ship to America. Westley then shared that on his trip to America, his ship was captured by the Dread Pirate Roberts, a pirate notorious for never leaving survivors, and everyone but Westley was brutally murdered. While the others begged for their lives or offered bribes, Westley instead just asked the Dread Pirate Roberts to please not kill him. Westley told Buttercup that when the Dread Pirate Roberts asked why he should not be killed, he said, ‘“I explained my mission, how I had to get to…
their quests. One character that death has a strong impact on is the protagonist, Westley. In his journey, death appears as the abyss stage, and he encounters it twice in the movie. The first time he enters this stage is when he encounters the Dread Pirate Roberts, when he was captured in an attempt to amass a fortune to marry Buttercup (Reiner 42:50). In her work, Molly Kaushal analyzes a hero through all the stages of the hero’s cycle, and in the abyss stage, she describes how the hero reacts…
Another example of women who defied female expectations are the Brontë sisters. Living in 19th century England, each sister found fame for their literature, but under male pseudonyms. The Brontë sisters were the first English writers to break female literary stereotypes and write women as their own individuals, who possessed a sense of morality and responsibility. For these women to find fame…
While I agree with your assessment that the novel is concerned with the imagination and the fantastical and that this differs from Treasure Island which holds a greater sense of realism (however implausible), I disagree with your perspective that Peter and Wendy does not have the conventions of a "boy's book." Specifically, I disagree with your statement that "boy's books" involve characters who go on adventures and come back changed and that this is lacking in the novel. While you are correct,…
princess saving Batman from a disaster in the kitchen, to a pirate dressing up as a princess while they rob the town. These ads inspired the UK to push for gender equality in their ads as well once they saw the effort they were making in Sweden.

Gender Inequality in the Film Industry needs to be talked about If you can’t name 5 female directors that have directed more than 3 films, gender inequality exists in the film world. There is a huge pay, equality, opportunity, and bais gap between men and women in the film industry. For every 5 men working, there is 1 woman (Zurko). As a women pursuing film, it’s discouraging how i will have less opportunity and wage than someone else just because of my gender. By highlighting the social and…
anything; unless it has to do with marketing, then the default is a sexy blonde woman who is half naked, trying to sell cologne on a six-foot poster. If women can sell all of these products, why does the marketing industry think that video games with female leads won’t sell? And, why is it that men are always thought of first in a positive way, and women second to mind in a demeaning way? Sex role stereotyping. Sex role stereotyping is hard to kill, it is the boss battle in society, it may not…
expectations of women during the time period. There is evidence that even many cisgender women during the time period dressed like men simply to be able to be employed; Moll utilizes her masculinity to its upmost, which gets her the job working for the “pirates”, and eventually leads her up to the top of the thievery chain as a stolen goods broker. Moll’s life of smoking, stealing, and swearing would never be illustrated by a cisgender woman during the time period; that would be obscene and much…
Females should undoubtedly be allowed to play on male sports’ teams. In this world of inequality there are few things we can do to alleviate that. For example, allowing females to play on male sports’ teams would be a great step. This has already been happening around the world, but it’s been causing controversy due to their, the girls, physicality and how fair it is then for the boys in return. If we don’t allow women to play then we can never truly be an equal and free nation. Women were…
this world, and it’s not only completely unnecessary, but almost always also very counterproductive. How To Get Rid Of Bad Socialization. The way to get rid of your bad socialization is to understand that our whole society is based on the idea that females must be earned, which is obviously not the case at all. On the contrary, every woman on this planet, no matter how good she looks or whatever, is simply your birthright to date. See, there are no requirements at all to have a beautiful girl…
