These principles rewarded male characters for dominance over others, aggression, financial independence and physical desirability. In the film School Ties (1992), directed by Robert Mandel, Charlie Dillon (Matt Damon) is represented as a character who fits these stereotypical beliefs of dominant masculinity.

Photographer,” and Robert Bly’s poem, “Driving Through Minnesota During the Hanoi Bombings.” Both of these poems present vivid images of the battle, show the devastating feelings towards war and provide the psychological impact on those involved in war. It is as if the “War Photographer” has captured similar destructive scenes that are described throughout “Driving Through Minnesota During the Hanoi Bombings.” By examining Carol Ann Duffy’s poem, “War Photographer,” and Robert Bly’s poem,…
