There was once a little Tennis Ball. This Tennis Ball had many older siblings. Basket Ball, Soccer Ball, and Foot Ball. The Ball family was the best set of brothers, well except for little Tennis. Tennis strived to be large and strong like his older brothers, but alas, it could not be done. He was too bouncy and flimsy. He could be squished, unlike his three other brothers. Little Tennis wanted this to change. He started working out, he had people throw him more, he had people bounce him more…

While historian Joan Kelly-Gadol argues that the rights of women prior to the Renaissance were stripped away through the literary works of men.

What do men work toward in life? Is it the most lucrative career, the nicest house, the most beautiful wife? All those possibilities represent achievement and aptitude. In other words, you're not a man until you have a particular status or possession that proves it. Furthermore, that motivation persists as a powerful character aspect in fiction. Besides, with any story, you invest in someone based on their goals. And seeing the action progress as a character works toward them is what engages you…

This is a story about a man named Cross Lambert. “Hey Cross, aren’t you excited? You’re going to get your first command soon?” “I don’t know Galius. I have been a lieutenant for so long, I don’t know how the men are going to adjust to my promotion.” “Everyone knew you were going to be the next captain and you have many supporters, amazingly. You’re the perfect example for a high-ranking officer.” “How so?“ “You follow orders to the letter and you are a devout follower of Zenith and the men…

Lisa slowly and steadily comes to represent a stereotypical middle class woman in the 1950s. There were two options for Jeff- either get married and be content with his present adventurous life in “combat boots and a three day bread” or he can look “handsome and successful in a dark blue flannel suit.” (qtd in Keith 4). Jeff feels that Lisa cannot accommodate herself in his world and be happy with “fish heads and rice” and he cannot either be happy in a domestic life where he himself will be…

heart throb, spent years in the closet passing as a straight man to not to jeopardize the marketability of the band to young women. For transgender individuals, the notion of passing is much more complicated. The term passing is “loaded, tainted with the implication that trans women aren't really women, and trans men aren't really men, but are merely trying to pass off as such and engaging in deception” (Godfried, 2015).…
