Knocked Out

Out of all three of the main characters, my least favorite would have to be Cody Splunk. I personally loved the overall melancholy feel of the book despite what the cover would have one to believe prior to reading it. The stories behind both Laura Freedman and Janice Gibbs flow seemingly concurrently and are almost poetic in nature. There are many similarities found between Gibbs and Freedman that are not found in Splunk. He’s the odd man out basically. But, of course, him being the odd man out…

also known as the Mo Movie Measure or Bechdel Rule, is a simple test that determines whether women are portrayed as humans in a story, acting as subjects rather than objects. Bechdel came up with the test in the panels of her comic, “Dykes to Watch Out For”, in a strip called “The Rule”. It was simply in the form of one woman explaining her “rule” about movies to another woman. The rule names the three following criteria. First, a movie must have at least two female characters that are…

Out of the Silent Planet A Take on Philosophy In Out of the Silent Planet we see the bent, the broken, and the bold and how each of them holds a standard on the value of life. The character Weston was a physicist, obsessed with the idea of living forever. Later in the book Oyarsa (a sort of spirit entity) says that Weston has been “bent by the Bent One”.

could taking me from him. Now the real character appears one day to get his point across sense he knew I was a fighter he hit me with a pistol that day broke the camel’s back. I prayed and the same day he went to prison. I was nineteen that was my way out and I never turn…

He says that “...they swim into a hole where there’s a lot of bananas. They're very ordinary-looking fish when they swim in. But once they get in they behave like pigs...after they eat so many bananas they can't get out of the banana hole..they die.”(pg.14). It is a very strange way to explain an imaginary fish that you just made up to a young child, it’s a rather sad and grim concept. Unless you look at the whole thing as a way for Seymour to express his complex thoughts…

characters would be known as Thomas, Alby, Minho and Gally. Thomas is the protagonist. He is shown as a rebel and very brave. Thomas comes to the maze and tries to follow the rules but under the circumstances, he breaks them because he is trying to get out and go home of course. Alby, the leader of the gladers, was the first one there. “Well, it is as you have heard, yeah. Every month, the Box sends up a new arrival. However, someone had to be first, right? Someone had to have spent a whole…

this point because she pointed out plan B did not involve the coverage of test strips. Kenzie explained that she had a first-hand account of understanding how important test strips are as well as how costly they become Kenzie stated they were “about a dollar each.” For Gerald’s case that would have easily added up being as though he would need to take his blood sugar levels frequently. Anais Schlosser took time to do the assignment…

the question. Linette told me that she never felt like she was not equal when participating in the community (2017). Then continued to describe one of her songs “Boys Night Out”. When her husband, Ren, (the guitarist in the band) was getting ready to go out with some of his guy friends, Linette told him she was going to go out with them too. She then told me that she was just like one of the guys, treated equally (2017). Since it was not the first time that I heard a punk rock band say they have…
