Teenage Girl Crush

Short Story Exam This short story is about a woman and her angst teenaged granddaughter. The grandmother seemed cold and distant to her granddaughter, and to anything else besides her dog. The young girl tries to run away with some bikers, but the grandmother would have none of it. They were then caught in a sticky situation, but the two would make it back to their home safe and protected from the rough riders. The actions of the grandmother lead to the realization that she does care about the granddaughter. So the theme of this story is that a stone-cold face does not lead to a warm and caring heart. To begin, there are 3 major characters in this story, along with some important side characters. The first character, and the main character, the grandmother. She was a cold, distant,…

can think of another type of lie of omission: omitting facts so that the speaker takes the blame from the one deserving of the blame. All people want as little punishment as possible, so this type of omission looks to be selfless and not selfish. However, I claim that because everyone’s natural instinct is to take the as little blame and punishment as possible, the only logical reason for taking extra blame would be due to a) emotions or b) another type of reward (i.e. money, fame, position,…

It is known in life that an attractive female can distract or consume a young man’s mental processes. Some stories within literature show insight on young males dealing with having a crush, or just thinking about the young lady’s life and how they interpret their thoughts. In “Araby” by James Joyce, the narrator is a young man who is infatuated with this girl to the point that he becomes disgusted and angry because he is not able to provide her a gift from an Araby. In contrast, John Updike in…

Boys got special treatment by adults constantly because of the special treatment I am able to pick out sexism fairly fast. The special treatment influenced me enough to make me realize how widespread sexism had gone. Growing up a girl I could see how girls were treated differently. For some unknown reason the phrase boys will be boys was a boy’s way of wiggling out of any situation. An adult would say boys will be boys and somehow whatever they did was justified by the fact they were a boy. They…

Animal Instincts On the plains of Africa, in the heart of the safari the last thoughts to cross one’s mind are teenage girls, unless you live in that concrete safari called high school awaiting the fate of being declared the prey or the predator. When it comes to typical portrayal of high school, it is always a sure bet that the cast will contain the “loser”, the “alpha female”, the “jock”, the “minions”, and the animal instincts of human nature. With each additional scene another layer of…

who serves as the provider and decision maker in the household, while the mother and girls of the family are the homemaker(s). In this story, however, there is just the daughter while that of the father is mentioned in two very particular scenarios: when deciding to marry the daughter off and after the girl’s heroic and death defying…

Throughout the story, there are numerous scenes in which female characters are degraded; whether it is a girl being raped or getting killed. Even the surroundings in the stories, like the sculptures, are extremely sexist in a way that disturbs the audiences to some extent. I will argue that Burgees and Kubrick’s main focus is to demonstrate the mass how ugly prejudice against females is. The sexism is demonstrated to an extreme in this story that it provokes the audiences to rethink the sexual…

Connie, the main character of “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been? ”, is a personification of both the stereotypical and actual depiction of rebellion.

She reduces the likelihood of being caught in her mutinous acts by assuming a double life. Her clothes, attitudes, and actions all differ depending on where she is and…
