The stories “Strong Poison/A Room of One’s Own,” bring up many points and the ideal roles of the norms of what men and women should be doing in society. Mr. Wimsey was one of the only men in Strong Poison that behaved outside of the norm of “masculinity.” He actually believed that women had rights and should be treated like human beings.

In its times, “Brian’s Song” was the most iconic made-for-TV movie.

You can dislike Tiger and you can dislike golf, but if you fail to acknowledge…
