Leave It to Beaver

(157). When Hindley and Heathcliff were fighting, the former told Isabella that “[Heathcliff]’ll be [her] death, unless [she] can over reach him,” (161). Her ability to find strength and escape from Heathcliff shows bravery and self empowerment. She leaves a dangerous and oppressive situation, only stopping at the Grange for first aid and dry clothes before continuing her solo journey, first to Gimmerton and then eventually to…

Mayberry, malt shops, and Leave it to Beaver all represent the traditional America, but one other thing is missing: To Kill a Mockingbird. To Kill a Mockingbird was written by Harper Lee and takes place in Maycomb County, Alabama during the Great Depression. I thoroughly enjoyed this book because of its vivid descriptions of southern life during this time and its morally dense content. To Kill a Mockingbird is a book of fiction, though it is taken from the childhood of Harper Lee. The book is…

In our society family is considered the most important agent of socialization, because the family (for the most part) is the first agent of socialization we encounter in our lives. As infants, we are completely dependent on others. Our parents, or those who play the parental role, are responsible for teaching us to function and care for ourselves. They, along with the rest of our family, also teach us about close relationships. Furthermore, they provide us with our first set of values, norms,…

Truth ts very often stranger than fiction, and it is true but strange that my three favorite books are called “The Outsiders”. Chances are you did not escape high school without a reading of S. E Hinton’s “The Outsiders.” This bittersweet tale of borderline blue-collar youth struggling to survive in a bleak urban environment is haunting and strange. Some of the denimed protagonists are still in high school, where they fight with the upper-class “Soc” boys and reveal surprisingly sensitive…

The novel I Am Legend written by in 1954 is a classic book that merges horror with science fiction. Richard Matheson, an American writer, wrote the book with this book being influential in the development of zombie-inspired genre of fiction. Its scope and area of discussion is simple, where it involves an era when the nuclear war has ended, but a major mutation spreads across the world. It changes every human being living on the surface of the earth except one person: Robert Neville. The rest of…

Harris in 1927 (Tippett 30, 31). This approach, utilizing large sweeping blocks of colour, is what most Canadians are familiar with today in association with Carr. It is a style that is reminiscent of Harris' work, and can be seen in the likes of Beaver Pond (fig. 3) or Maligne Lake (fig.…

Fur has always been the ultimate “fabric of desire”. People around the world have been purchased and favored fur clothes in many centuries ago, but not until recently, the demand for fur clothes are extending higher than ever. According to Robert Burke, founder of the luxury consultancy in New York, “Fur has always been a hot-button issue in fashion, and now more than ever because the consumer has the ability to research and decide for themselves where they want to stand”, he also added up to…

This literature review explores television sitcom genre of the situation comedy or sitcom. It will look at the changes in style and sensibility since the 1950s, how it has evolved and also how it has stayed the same. It can be comfortably stated that the sitcom is ‘arguably the most durable genre’ on television (Edgerton and Ross, 2008, p9). Although there are arguments about the variations between different particular sitcoms themselves, Brett Mills (Mills, 2012) gives an example of a…

How important is it to get something that is wanted, even though it is not needed? That is the question that the United States needs to ask itself when it comes to deciding whether or not they should drill for Oil in the Arctic. The United States already produces the most oil in the world, so what makes drilling for oil in the Arctic necessary? It’s because the United States, a fossil fuel dependent country, wants more oil, even though it isn’t needed. The United States needs to face the…

than fewer people would share it. I brought this up to several of my friends and family members and the response is almost the same every time “They did it to themselves” or “It’s because of someone in their own community”. These two points always leave me at a loss for words, why is our society socially aware…
