Pretty in Pink

directed towards the different genders, while using the sociological perspective. A soup in Germany can ultimately be seen as gender specific (click here to see image), it displays a soup in a pink package and one in a blue package. The stereotype here is that girls are seen as liking princesses and love the color pink. Boys on the other hand are associated with the color blue and “manly” jobs like firefighting. This is the most stereotypical of the five items gathered for this analysis,…

screen. Based on what I've researched, I was able to find many differences between the original fairy tale of "Rapunzel" and the movie adaptation Tangled. Comparing the different clothing, the characters, and the setting I concluded that the film is pretty accurate compared to the original story, but it has some different elements that in my opinion make the story more fun. The movie adaptation was a big hit that, when released was very popular, that has a good rating, and that represents the…

Symbolism and allegory are two literary elements that are frequently used in many literary works. Symbolism, an element that uses images and indirect impression to represent ideas, emotions, and state of mind is compared to allegory, a representation of an abstract or spiritual meaning in the form of a narrative or concrete material. These elements are commonly used in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “Young Goodman Brown.” Hawthorne’s story provides an example of allegory in which he uses figures and…

I grew up in a pretty isolated area, away from bright city lights, and also away from kids my age to socialize with. But, I wasn't completely alone. I had a doll that was practically the same size of me at age four, she had long golden hair, blue eyes with curly eyelashes to complement them, and wore a pastel pink dress. We would often dance in the kitchen close to bedtime, listening to the radio, while my mom would sometimes watch for entertainment while she was fixing dinner. The doll would…

There is nothing wrong with little girls wearing cute pink dresses and walking down a stage to perform a few adorable stunts or tricks. However, there is everything wrong when these actions could potentially lead to long term damages in young girls. And therein lies the problem with child beauty pageants. They have the potential to create long term issues for the many of the female children who are asked to participate in them. This is the stance that “Toddlers and Tiaras” takes regarding the…

Symbolism such as the pink ribbon falling from the sky can represent many didn’t things and even places. Even the setting he uses is a strong form of symbolism. The woods representing evil, and his having his grandfather being portrayed as the devil. The staff having snakes on shows strong imagery and symbolism. The pink ribbon can mean anything, but in my eyes and thoughts it showed purity and evil. White being the color for purity and red representing evil. The pink ribbon that…

smiling wider than I ever had before. Each October, my high school holds an annual Pink Out football game. At halftime, we have a ceremony, during which girls cut their hair to donate to make wigs for women with breast cancer. My freshman year, I found this pretty unique, but I could have never imagined myself participating. That was MY hair that I spent hours brushing and years growing out. As our Pink Out game approached during my sophomore year, I couldn’t help but to think that my…

The attire and form of Faith are operated as a tool to easily express the two previously labeled symbols of Faith; for example, Brown “… exchange[s] a parting kiss with his young wife. And faith… thrust her own pretty head into the street, letting the wind play with the pink ribbons of her cap” (Hawthorne 1). The parting kiss shared between the two symbolizes the literal and abstract. What can be easily analyzed from the kiss is that they are soon going to depart, separate, but it can be…

Most people are too busy adoring the food to ask, what is really in a hot dog? The first ingredient is mechanically separated meat. It is light pink and looks like strawberry ice cream. The texture is very slimy. When the squished meat comes out of the machine, it can either look like a snake or spaghetti. Very appetizing, right? Deep within the pink slime, there are crushed bones, tissues, and muscles. Having the extra stuff…

everyone obtained a generalized idea of what I would be like. This consisted of a precious little girl with sass, ponytails and pretty pink dresses, who would later grow up, marry a man, and have children of her own because that is how society says the life of a girl should be portrayed—and that is how I was presented. My closet flooded with a never-ending pattern of pink, purple, and glitter, puffy dresses and skirts,…
