Slut

The smell of blood was thick in the air as Trey stood over another body before it disintegrated. "Another one down and not any closer to finding his location." Trey mumbled to himself thinking over how far he has come since the first day. His mind wanders to that day so long ago. Trey was fast asleep lay in bed when a bloodcurdling scream woke him from his slumber. He quickly rushed from his room to find a tall figure gripping his mother tightly drinking from her. "A vampire!" His lips mouthed…

Blaming the Victim means that the problem is triggered by the people who are affected by it when they usually are not the true perpetrators. Often, there is a main issue that is causing a specific event or events to continually occur and we should first work at an attempt to solve it. Unfortunately, this is not generally what happens. Generally, people will believe that the victim must have done something wrong or behaved inappropriately, therefore bringing the issue upon themselves. As a result…

Nothing Much To Do begins with Beatrice moving from Wellington to Auckland to live with her cousins Hero and Leo while her parents work in Australia. Hero and Leo's parents, a lesbian couple, are on a belated six month honeymoon, so the teenagers and Leo have the house to themselves. This is already a big difference to Shakespeare's text: Hero and Beatrice are not in Leo's custody, although he likes to play the protective older brother. Beatrice is an emancipated girl who is able to make choices…

faces imminent death and also the imminent death and torture of those she loves and pays no heed to her more level headed husband who begs and pleads to her in the name of a God he doesn’t even believe in himself.“You can think of me as a faithless slut if you like. I've taken a new lover. He can give me what you cannot. Death is not a lover” (McCarthy:22) Her…

Dictators vs Bullies Kim Jong II, Josef Stalin, and Adolf Hitler. All dictators. Amanda Todd, Rehtaeh Parsons, and Dawn-Marie Wesley. All victims of school bullying. But how are these two related? It may be more apparent than you believe.The world has seen many dictators rule throughout and take advantage of others throughout the years.

The term Feminism dates back to the 1880s and was coined in France. The idea spread to Britain and then following to the United States. The first and second waves lasted from the 1880s all the way up to the 1980s. These two waves can be seen as helpful and any arguments against that statement will not hold up to any scrutiny. People like Christina Hoff Sommers, a reputable economist and author of “Whole Stole Feminism?”, believe the third wave has become nothing but harmful to our society. She…

In pop culture, the sexuality of women are often depicted as a binary: either as a slut or a whore, or pure and innocent. Adelina Anthony’s and Margaret Cho’s performances challenge these representations with their comedic performances and being open with their sexuality. They disidentify with hegemonic cultural representations by working with and against dominant representations such as sexism and classism. They use humor such as sarcasm to make people see how absurd about people’s…

Where Are the Women? It’s time I came out with it. I know full well that I maybe putting my identity as well as my well-being at risk—but after recent events, I can no longer keep at bay my anger and my sheer, utter, disgust at the attacks on women’s rights. In February of 2012; Senator Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) asked a very poignant and appropriate question before walking out of a House oversight committee hearing on contraceptive coverage. Angrily, she asked "What I want to know is, where are…

“… tramp, tart, slut, whore, bimbo, and of course, that woman.” It is easy to realize the words above are intended for humiliation. Moreover, society likes to believe this immature act to occur only at young ages; ceasing to exist once we are adults. But in reality, this is not true. Rather, it has become worse; utilizing technology and social media to ruin another persons’ reputation. Furthermore, public attention nowadays is promoting shame; de-sensitizing the situation entirely. Consequently…

Now, to be perfectly honest, I know nothing about Sherlock Holmes. I have never read the books and never watched the BBC show (though it is on my binge watch list for spring break). I have, though, seen the two movies with Robert Downy Jr – which is what first interested me in this book. I love those movies, I don’t know if that is an unpopular opinion – but I think Robert Downey Jr nails it. Lock & Mori takes an entirely different view on a beloved classic. From what I can gather, no one knows…
