saving men from life-threatening situations. In The Little Mermaid, Ariel reverses gender roles and saves her prince, Eric from drowning. Also, at the end of Tangled, Rapunzel cuts her hair in order to save Flynn (her lover) from dying. Her hair has magical powers in which she was willing to give away to preserve the well-being of another person (Johnson). Furthermore, the princess’ good deeds for men extend beyond their love life and branch out to their fathers. This can be seen when Belle from…

on OUAT (Once Upon a Time) beauty is used as a weapon, an advantage for the evil queen. So, what’s so bad with women being beautiful in fairytale or on TV shows? In general, nothing is wrong. Except that the female villains from the show that have magical powers wear dresses that shows a superabundant amounts of cleavage. This shows that there is a link between beauty and power (Axinto, 2015). However, that power is shown in a negative light. Women with power are often viewed as vindictive and…

Many can say they have a good life, but I can say that I have a very fun super exciting life that you wish you had. I think being me is amazing. I may not have the typical life of a regular kid or student but I would much rather have my life than an average everyday kid. Most kids have friends just at school, but I have friends in close and far away places. All this comes from the life of being a top level soccer player in the state of ohio. There are many things that I have experienced, and as…

can still think of receiving a book with Bible story versions of these hidden icons, which I enjoyed deeply. What caught my attention was the number of people who couldn’t see the hidden picture. It was as if the picture would remain out of their view forever. For us who could see the images, it was apparent there was more than meets the eye in these magical pictures. As we begin our journey through the book of Revelation, we will…

the vet really thought, this she also thought thought do number sixteen who looked the worse. Dog number sixteen also had to be trimmed because her fur was so matted up by the time they got done shaving she only had fur on her head, paws and tip of her tail. All the workers keep thinking who would ever adopt a dog who can not stand being leased or would repeatedly throw up from fear (“dog whisperer”). They are not really sure if dog number sixteen could even be housed-trained at all, so with all…

existence of a favelado in unexpected and moving ways. While she is often quite critical, she also has a sense of humor that leavens and illuminates aspects of what is otherwise quite a grim story. Each day she would wake up between five o'clock and seven o'clock in the morning to wait in line for…

At its peak, Eartheater Skalls can reach lengths of ten feet, however, only females can reach such extremes. Most fully developed males range from five to seven feet, which is why to the inept eye they may be mistaken as being fresh from the cocoon or a runt. Moreover, the hide of the female Skall is choicest than their male counterparts, valued by collectors and leather workers owing to its dense yet malleable…

Titanic was “the most magical and astounding place in the world.” The White Star Line had multiple rivals who tried to beat them by building a ship that is better and faster. The only thing White Star Line could do was prove their company was worthy of ship building. They made the Titanic which derived from Greek meaning gigantic. RMS Titanic was completed in in the beginning of April and it was the most exotic boat anyone could lay their eyes on. The Titanic was like one of the seven wonders…

enormously. On average he scored 26/40 and the time taken was 55.40 seconds. Linges’s attention was fairly good based on the test and the reaction time increased when the difficulty of the task increased. However, there was not much difference in the number of correct words. This can be related to Reisberg’s opinion on Stroop test “knowing about this effect is no protection-the processes are not open to control.” (Reisberg, 1997, p. 603) The third test was for the STM. When Linges was tested 3…
