Rear-view mirror

traditionalist opinion about the role of women in society was still rampant. Women were supposed to take a subservient role in society and were dependent on men. However, it seems as though Alfred Hitchcock wanted to help end this view by creating strong female characters. In his film “Rear Window,” Hitchcock presents a strong female character in the form of Stella, the nurse to the main character L.B. Jeffries. The relationship between Stella and Jeffries portrays the advancement of the gender…

to ride in a vehicle and believed that all cars and drivers are unsafe and vowed that she would never drive again. Since that time, she has had no other choice than to drive herself back and forth to work. However, she excessively checks her rear view mirror, always feels that cars are crossing into her lane, and refuses to turn on the radio so she is not distracted since all other drivers are…

Snow Fall The snow fell gracefully onto the ground flake by flake. As my family packed each bag into the car until they pressed tightly against the rear hatch, I tilted my head back towards the sun attempting to catch each fraill flake with my tongue. My entire family piled into the car slowly as I continued to stand motionless in the snow. Finally, forty minutes later when every mitten and hat had managed to make its way into the car, summoned by my parents who were anxious to get home, I slid…

With 59% of Harrisville’s population over 45 Harrisville is thankful for its retirees ("American FactFinder."). This large number is able to keep some kind of population and fixed business within the town. With the fading traffic light in my rear-view mirror, I continued along my drive. Stretching out in front of me was a predictable variation of…

“I feel that we’re standing on the threshold of a liberating and exhilarating world in which the human tribe can become truly one family and man’s consciousness can be freed from the shackles of mechanical culture and enabled to roam the cosmos” (McLuhan 1969). In a 1969 interview for Playboy Magazine, media theorist Marshall McLuhan dreamt of a world where man was capable of individual thought, yet still linked seamlessly to the rest of the world through the media. This notion of a virtual…

Congressional Country Club, Bethesda, Maryland: 8:05 am... “Lockwood,” said Senator Bobby Richards, “you are the only congressman who can miss your tee time by an hour and march right up to the tee and start hacking away.” After resetting his ball by pulling up the tee some, he was happy‒hoping his ball would land where he was looking. “That is about all I do anymore, is hack,” Lockwood replied, with a kid-smile, as he pulled his lucky…

““Their women worked themselves to death, their mules succumbed to worms and their children were crippled by rickets and perished from fever, but every Sunday morning The Word leaked out of little white-wood sanctuaries where preachers thrust ragged Bibles at the rafters and promised them that while sickness and poverty and Lucifer might take their families, the soul of a man never dies. White people had it hard and black people had it harder than that, because what are the table scraps of…

ideology is as dangerous as driving while only looking in the rear-view mirror, instead of looking straight at what’s ahead of you (Warwick 2). Look at Instagram for example. It retrieves the nostalgic feeling of Polaroid cameras. Hall: Okay. But that’s just your interpretation of the world. At least with the mass communication model the results make sense and are one of: Dominant, Negotiated, or Oppositional.(Chandler 2). Like my oppositional view of technological determinism (Bal, Warwick ).…
