As an AP Psychology student, I find myself applying psychology principles to all aspects of life. For example, I now treat my younger brother with more respect as this allows a child to develop self-esteem in adolescence. The psych-fiction novel, The Memory Keeper’s Daughter by Kim Edwards, was written in a way that allowed me to empathize with the protagonists and justify their actions using the Freudian psychology theories of the triple personality and defense mechanisms I learned in my class.…

order. Although the film is a visual avant-garde collage of found footage, the film properly adheres to the three narrative conventions outlined by Altman. Friedrich conscientious manner of visual and auditory storytelling makes this short film a diary-like autobiographic narrative. The narrator, the filmmaker 's younger version of herself, goes through a verbal character arc that we witness as the viewers through her storytelling. She first speaks of the fond memories of her father being…

little girl. As children grow up, we just blindly accept these gender roles, as they become part our lives. Society seems to simply accept these gender roles that coincide with the sex of children, but people never ask why?

children, on average, spend seven hours and thirty-eight minutes of entertainment each day. By allowing children to spend ceremonious amounts of time watching the same sorts of oversexualized, one-dimensional female character, we deprive both boys and girls. It is okay to have female characters who have lower class jobs, or are sexually aware, it should be important for the storyline to have her in this role.

their peers, who in turn are influenced by these programs. Television and movies have developed patterns over time. There are the good girls, and the bad girls. The same applies to males in these movies. At one time, scripts went with the “good” girl becoming the hero. That has changed, now that some young girls are adopting the “bad” girl persona.
