Princess of Wales

distress based games follow the Subject-Object Dichotomy. Saying that the subject, or main character that is usually a male, must find the object, or the girl. A great example of this would be the game Super Mario Bros. where Mario is the Subject and Princess Peach is the Object. Using this plot device makes the women more of a prize to be won or a goal to be accomplished. To tell whether this is being used you must be able to change the girl into something like a ball without changing the…

The Ultimate Goal From childhood some of us are taught a particularly disturbing philosophy, to be physically attractive equals success or happiness. To be the “skinny one”, to be appealing, and if we achieve this, everything else in life will just follow. I would be lying if I said that scared little girl inside my heart didn’t still believe this to be true to some extent, but with age came wisdom but we’ll get to this a little later. Seeing all the “pretty” people on tv, movies, ads, even in…

romance and mystery novels. One of my favorite book series in school was Cam Jansen Mystery books. The everyday adventures that I could relate with were the reason I was captivated by the books. In third grade, I read an inspiring book called A Little Princess by Frances Burnett.

The little girl in the story never gave up or stop believing although she lost everything. Every…

After having watched The Lunchbox as well as The Piano, I've come to realize how well these movies demonstrate the correlation between love and happiness. With the help of characters like Saajan Fernandes, Ila, Ada McGrath, and George Baines, the directors are capable of showing us just how important partnership is in our lives as human beings. Even with the two movies being set in two completely different areas, the same concept continues to arise. Love and partnership is essential to…

Similar to the masculine articulation, considering the three female executives, whom I interacted, demonstrated varying degrees of femininity in their online as well as offline self which I indicate as below.
