These advertisements are proof that sex sells, and this is in large part due to the capitalist nature of America. Capitalism, the mode of production in the western world, influences the nature of culture and production, which in turn…

The Critical Race Theory states “people have intersecting identities.” Two of those identities are gender and race. In Marilyn Frye’s article “Oppression” she said, “the experience of oppressed people is that the living of one’s life is confined and shaped by forces and barriers which are not accidental or occasional” (Frye). Through looking at various resources, we will discuss how the identities of race and gender have led to people living their lives under a blanket of oppression and how…

When confronted with the picture, Courtney claims it’s Hannah and a well-known lesbian girl, deeming Hannah as not only a slut but a “crazy lesbian.” Another popular, preppy kid, Marcus, hears about Hannah’s reputation and asks her out for a Valentine’s Day date, but only to try to sleep with her, for lack of a better phrase. When Hannah pushes Marcus away, his friend, a…

One of the best thing about me is that I really enjoyed reading short stories. Every story that I read in this book feels more like poetry than an actual story. However, I enjoyed reading most of them because they feed my mind. Reading the story “Boys by Ricky Moody” and “Girls by Jamaica Kinkaid” really caught my attention, they are very short, but great pieces to cut right within to the heart of the primer. Nevertheless, what makes them similar is how they were created using similar literary…

One of the very first foreshadowing moments happens on page 12 when Cayce is in London and goes to critique the first logo with Stonestreet and Dorothea.

So next time you accuse a female of being crazy, check yourself before you wreck yourself. Now, think about how you just…
