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).…

Captain Sobel I believe is one of the worse officers that is present throughout the entire series. Throughout the entire series he continual belittles his troops to separate him from the rest of his men. This is what contributes to his leadership style of directional. He continual tells his men what to do how to do and when to do it. For one example during the ruck march he instructs his men to not drink from their canteens and to save the water, . Under high stress operations such as combat or…

Hybrid Masculinity Of the three theories of masculinity described in this paper hybrid masculinity appears to best align with critiques of transgender experiences described at the beginning of this paper: a male-originating gendered-appropriation, or those “gender projects that incorporate ‘bits and pieces…of marginalized and subordinated masculinities and at times, femininities” (Bridges 60) (emphasis mine). For example, similar to Bridges’ claim that some (hegemonic) heterosexual men…

A very good example of a pathos appeal that Puana shares in “The red headed Hawaiian” (143). Puana explains what a handshake means to the Hawaiians vs people from the mainland, mainlanders have some real problems with being or showing dominance in the world, so giving a firm handshake shows that they may be powerful then others, but in Hawaiʻi a handshake is just a simple gester of greeting someone, nothing to it. This is a pathos appeal because it shows the emotion both cultures feel towords…

attacks from passerbys, exposure to the inclement landscape and starvation. The physical manifestation of their travels directly relates to the our theme on journey but what intrigues me the most throughout this novel is the transformation of the man and boy’s characters. The father has been entrusted by God to…

Gender Stratification Its tradition, it’s because that is the way it has always been, men are stronger than women. This is what I have heard since I was a little girl. Cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the kids this is all women’s work and taking out the garbage, bringing home the paycheck, mowing the lawn that it is men’s work. Not any more, things have changed over time, men and women share work equally now, right? No, this is not the case and it is called gender stratification. “Gender…
