Playboy

was clearly mesmerized and fascinated by the magic of this era in America. He speaks from experience since he also found himself swept away by the promise of the 1920s as he “embarked on an extravagant lifestyle that earned him a reputation as a playboy and hindered his reputation as a serious literary writer” (“F. Scott Fitzgerald”). Upon the success of his first novel, Fitzgerald began to live lavishly as he became accustomed to this carefree lifestyle. The aura of the 1920s is important to…

also makes the reader less interested in finishing the piece because they have to have a dictionary handy to translate his message. Another way Sanders is able to build credibility with the audience is through allusions. He alludes to the Bible, Playboy, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and David Herbert Lawrence, just to name a few. This helps him once again show the audience that he is well educated. His allusions are also one of the things that hurts arguments. He makes so many allusions…

A few months ago, I had the opportunity to go and see a live performance of Boeing Boeing at the Hart House Theatre in Toronto. Boeing Boeing is a 1960s French play by Marc Camoletti. In this performance, the play is translated from French to English and directed by Cory Dornan. It a non-stop comedy meant for an older audience, as it involves many sexual innuendos and situations that children would not understand. Boeing Boeing was performed incredibly well for something that consists of such a…

for an opportunity to surf. At the USO show, Willard says, “Charlie’s idea of great R and R was cold rice and a little rat meat. He had only two ways home: death or victory.” On the other hand, the Americans are busy drooling and hooting over the Playboy models. The contrast between Western and Vietnamese values is clear as day…

I’m thinking, I’m sure I locked the door. I’m sure I-. And, Who is this man who can enter despite …” (TMS 108). The lonely American Raven is young, handsome, attractive, and a charmer like the Native American trickster figure. As Tilo calls him: “Playboy Raven, my American of the party scene” (TMS 287). Like the trickster of Native lore, Raven has seduction written all over his face. Tilo falls for his “silver-edged seductive cloud-smile upon which I could float away so easily and never return”…

(I am side 2: "Military Women in Combat: Why Making It Official Matters") "The Under Cover Parent" by Harlan Coben Coben begins his essay with an explanation of his personal experience and initial thoughts on spyware. In the second paragraph, Coben describes consumer-level spyware, and he explains how it works. Coben appeals to the reader's pathos by pointing out the difference in the level of invasion between the government and your family. He even goes as far as to call parents who survey…

“Housewives” Brand: Degrading Profit Scandal or Radical Feminist Entertainment? We all remember the iconic image of Barack Obama on the cover of Ms.Magazine from 2009. With a cleverly illustrated President peeling his button up shirt away to reveal a black “This is what feminism looks like” t-shirt underneath, he proved the importance of diverse representation.(Goodman) Feminists come in all shapes and sizes, in both genders, and across all age groups- and sometimes where you least expect it.…

It begins with an imagery of large-breasted women in a bikini, similar to what you would potentially find in a playboy magazine. This first scene moves in slow motion with the camera switching back and forth between close-ups of the women surrounded by a beautiful atmosphere as she makes seductive facial expressions. The slow motion effect which moves back and forth with flashing images of the women’s essential parts such as the bottom and breast, this indicates that the artist’s associated in…

point in time, the ownership of the car was changed. According to local sayings, it was owned by Rene Dreyfus, a well known grand Prix driver. He lost the car in a drunken poker game in 1934 in Paris. The car was won by Adalbert Bode, a well know playboy from Switzerland. It is also possible that it was owned by an architect from Zurich, named Max or Marco Schmuklerski, who was originally from Poland. It is possible that the Bugatti was acquired by Max at that time, who was a student of…

Very often, these days, we’re talking about Quiet YA. While everyone seems to have their own interpretation of the term, most will agree that Quiet YA refers to the underdogs. The books that need more attention and fly under the radar. Maybe this is what the term was supposed to mean when it was initially coined. But I’d like to take that one step further. The Summer of Chasing Mermaids, to me, was Quiet YA. I can’t talk about how well the book is doing in the market, or the response it’s…
