Losing our friend Star was by far the worst thing that had ever happened to either of us. Trying to stay strong for Harley was hard but she let me break down a couple of times. Some would say that made me a pussy but Star was like a sister to me. When Harley told me she didn’t want to go back to school I was shocked but thankful. I wasn’t ready to let her leave and knew that her stress level would be through the roof. I honestly believed that her parents, especially Bryan, would never…

Our Selves Summative Assessment [hook] All people feel shame in their lives. [relevance to real life, maybe a personal anecdote].

Compare and Contrast Goldfinger (1964); Musical Score by John Barry vs Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981); Musical Score by John Williams During the 1960s, popular music played an important role in filmmaking, garnering larger audiences due to the appeal of this genre but also due to the fact that psychologically, people tend to associate the music they are hearing with real life events or emotions.

Course terms I used from chapter 10 were sex, gender, masculinity, femininity, sexism, and feminism. I concluded that this sitcom somewhat accurately portrays how…

horses, and the mastery of high-flying birds of prey” (Márquez 7). Márquez begins intertwining the falcon motif in Santiago. Márquez continues with the falconry symbolism by saying, “She couldn't avoid the butcher hawk hand again. ‘He grabbed my whole pussy,’ Divina Flor told me. ‘It was what he always did when he caught me alone in some corner of the house’”(Márquez 13). Evidently, Santiago is a sexual predator which is clearly illustrated in the…

Disabled bodies are represented in various different ways, most of which are not in line with the traditional views of masculinity. Opsteyn (2015) argues that a lot of literature infantilizes disabled men, referring specifically to post-war writing to exemplify this. The reliance on others to perform tasks that are positioned as normal by able-bodied discourse is viewed as not only emasculating, but infantilizing. This image of the disabled male as childlike is one that remains dominant and is…

unethical addictions to drugs, sex, and money making, the more masculine he becomes. The film idolizes the desirability to live a materialistic lifestyle as Jordan explains, “Money doesn’t just buy you a better life, better food, better cars, better pussy. It also makes you a better person”. With the amount of money and power Jordan has, having good morals and values is the last thing on his mind. His wealth in combination to his unethical morals and values make him a desirable character to both…
