Ever since I watched the movie Legally Blonde, it has been my dream (and probably most college girls) to join a sorority and have sisters like Elle Woods did. During the summer right before entering my freshman year at University of West Florida, I decided to research more on what sorority life is actually about. When doing my research, I found out my school had five Panhellenic sororities all of whom had different values and to join you have to get selected by going through a recruitment…

For hundreds of years, the American Dream has been an ideal that has meant different things to different people. In Legally Blonde directed by Robert Lucetic, Elle initially dreams of self fulfillment and happiness through the marriage to the love of her life, Warner. Similarly, in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Gatsby strives to be wealthy enough and rich enough to be suitable for Daisy, who he has idealized. Both characters strive to achieve their American Dream and are initially both…

Stereotypes are defined as “particular beliefs or assumptions about a human being based on their association with a group” (Spielman, 2014, p.225). Stereotypes can be seen throughout people of all ages and cultures, they occur naturally. Stereotypes occur when humans assign a induvial to objects of the world to help classify one into a group. Therefore, when we meet a new person we assume that they have all the traits and characteristics that are common in the social group they belong too…

The ride from Fallborn to Talon’s Hollow is a long one. Today it is made worse by the waves of pain crashing over me. What they did to me in that place was terrible, but a fine excuse for all the people that now lay dead. After I broke free I had to kill nine of them before anyone would talk. I should have asked them why, but I just want to forget the pain. They erased my memories so I knew they could erase the last year of my life. One of them finally told me that they had a facility in…

and the kids started filing off the bus like ants coming out of an ant hole. They walked in and placed their bags and coats on the hooks. A girl turned and gave me a quizzical look. She had freckles sprinkled across her pale face. She had strawberry blonde hair. “Who are you?” she asked. “I’m Allie, I am going to be working here.” She seemed satisfied with my response and went to go sit down. It was my first day at the Boys and Girls Club. I was exceptionally nervous; I didn’t have that much…

To most, Anita Loos’ Gentlemen Prefer Blondes would not be considered a feminist text. The main characters, Lorelei and Dorothy, seem to be characterized as typical women in the 1920’s. Lorelei can almost be seen as a superficial character who will only marry a man for his money, and Dorothy, is the type of girl who would settle for any attractive man. However, feminism is defined as the belief of equality of the genders, that both men and women should have the same rights and equal…

Marilyn Monroe: The Icon The bright lights of Hollywood attracted many star like moths, and perhaps the most influential and treasured of these stars are the young starlets of the twentieth century. Forever the icon and representative of these starlets is Marilyn Monroe. The subway grate drifted up Marilyn’s dress and she said the words, “ Isn’t it delicious?” shot Marilyn into stardom. Marilyn Monroe was and still is an iconic sex symbol known for “the shot seen around the world” (Stapinski 1)…

statements about being blond? One statement goes like “OMG, she is being blonde”, “blonde moment” or “why are you being blonde?” In our culture, being blonde had been acceptable opinion to compare others or referring others of being stupid or dumb. Why is that? On the other hand, throughout in our history, having a blonde hair is one of the most desirable traits in our society. Isn’t it confusing? The reason why mostly people chose blonde hair as an ideal beauty is because these kind of…

can all recall countless movies focused on the legal field. Hollywood has a tendency to exaggerate situations and only cast the most beautiful specimen. However, films do have a tendency to bring to light the issues of a layperson. Films such as Legally Blonde, Erin Brockocich, and The Verdict feature women in the legal field. The women in the films struggle with the same issues women face in the actual workforce. Women in law must face discrimination and objectification in the workplace, must…
