Girl in a Band Book Review “When we came out onstage for our last show, the night was all about the boys” (Kim Gordon). This is the bold first sentence that Sonic Youth vocalist/bassist Kim Althea Gordon writes in her autobiographical memoir, Girl in a Band.

The entirety of this memoir is told from the…

I chose to read the graphic narratives by Alan Moore- The Watchmen and V for Vendetta. I also went ahead and chose to view the film of V for Vendetta. Both of these novels are written by the notorious Alan Moore and share some similar themes and style. Alan Moore is an iconic comic-book writer from the 1980s.

documentary “Bowling for columbine” was released by left-wing activist, Michael Moore, which displays his bias and negative opinion towards America’s second amendment and much of what it represents. Moore uses a vast variety of documentary techniques to illustrate the uncontrollable and hazardous nature of gun and general weapon accessibility in America and how changes are needed as it promotes violence. As seen in the film, Moore uses many documentary devices that supports his biased message…

Hope Directed by George Lucas and comic, The Watchmen by Alan Moore had one thing in common. In the comic novel and film, the “superhero" protagonists are white heterosexual men. Neither Princess Leia nor Laurie Juspeczyk have plot lines of their own instead they revolve around men. In The Watchmen and Star Wars: A New Hope both author and director are male and give their characters a male protagonist role. In The Watchmen, Alan Moore introduces his character Rorschach who prefers to use brains…

Do you want to build a snowman? Who could not know this catchy song? Frozen is one of the best Disney movies in the world. Every little fan girl could sing you every song or even be able to say some of their favorite parts of their characters, as well even know the movie word by word, and agree that Frozen is a much better movie then tangled. Tangled may have been a great movie was well, but every Disney movie always has that villain with the same plot also with the same characteristics, and the…

The Americans were outnumbered greatly it was about 400 Americans against 2000 Vietnamese soldiers. Then again the whole movie is not just about war it shows how it affects…
