  • Film Boyz N The Hood
    932 words
    Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better All right, I'll go ahead and admit it... I am back on my kick about how women are depicted in film. I can't help it, the more movies I watch the more obvious the signs of stereotyping are to me. In the film Boyz n The Hood, we are introduced to some not so traditional female roles, but the overall message is still the same, women are not quite as good as men. As I read Michael Dyson's article, Between Apocalypse and Redemption: John Singleton's Boyz N The Hood...

  • Alone Meursault

  • Tumultuous Relationship Between Tan And Her Mother
    1,361 words
    Amy Tan's "Two Kinds" is an autobiographical look into her childhood that shows the conflict between Tan and her mother, the difference between old and new cultures, the past and the present, and parents' expectations vs. reality. Couples of opposing elements comprise the basis of the entire story; to another extent even the title itself, "Two Kinds", shows the friction that Tan creates. The strongest argument that Tan suggest is that this may not only be a look into her own life, rather it may ...

Mommy Patti was the one who married my dad when I was two and a half, who adopted me as her child, and has taken care of me ever since. I have vivid memories of talking to my adoptive mother about my biological mother, a subject matter which now seems oddly inappropriate. I think that, when I was younger, I did not en...

Whether the audience feels good or bad about whom or what you present is not as important as the fact that they feel something.

    Political turmoil, loyalty to the party, reforms, and the escape from political scorn, tore the many Chinese families apart in the time of the Cultural Revolution; especially once the Great Leap Forward was enacted in 1957.

  • Best Person For Raskolnikov's Mother
    547 words
    Life is what you make of it. This one simple phrase can be applied throughout life, and throughout literature, which aims to mimic the first of the two. The human mind can theorize something time after time, until even the most horrible thing makes sense to take action on. This holds true for Raskolnikov and his mother and sister. Throughout the lives of these three, even within the first part of the novel, it can be seen how they convince themselves of things that do not seem the most appealing...
