The most substantial of these legal proceedings involving Westboro Baptist Church is the case of Snyder v. Phelps. In 2006, Albert Snyder sued the Phelps family on several counts, namely intrusion and intentional infliction of emotional distress.[6] Snyder’s son, Matthew, died in combat in Iraq and was brought home to Maryland for his funeral processions. Westboro Baptist Church decided to make an example of the fallen soldier, posting an article titled “The Burden of Marine Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder” on their website. In this piece, they made multiple defamatory remarks about Matthew, such as saying that he was “raised for the devil”.[7] Westboro Baptist Church then traveled to Maryland and protested at Matthew’s funeral. The group carried

While reading both the play version and the article about Anne Frank's diary, I believe the play version was much more meaningful. I think this because when reading this version Anne described a lot that was happening while they were hiding in the annex. Which made me feel how she was feeling. One part that I really felt like I was there was on page 314 when Anne says, “The air raids are getting worse. The come over everyday and night. The noise is terrifying. Pim says it should be music to our ears. The more planes, the sooner will come the end of the war. Mrs. Van Daan pretends to be a fatalist. What will be, will be. But when the planes come over, who is the most frightened? No one else but Petronella!...” When Anne says this I can picture in my mind the plans going over, just hearing the sound. I don’t think that the article is the most meaningful because in the article, I never really got the feeling that I was feeling what Anne was feeling.

The idea of insanity is not one frequently acknowledged in literature. However, these authors display powerful usage of their key literary elements, symbolism, and characterization to display outstanding want to describe obsession.

Despite being one of the most popular, if not most popular, animated movies of all-time, Toy Story offers a limited perspective when it comes to gender because of manhood acts, homosociality, and stereotypes. The manhood acts in the film suppress women at the same time as they support the hegemonic masculinity, which is the masculinity that actively attempts to suppress women and inferior masculinities (Bird pg. 129). When the male characters in the movie do this, it approves of this negative behavior that limits the voice of the female characters. Additionally, the lack of female characters causes the film to portray homosociality, which prevents young girls from seeing a variety of representations of women in the toys. Also, the stereotypes in the movie reduce women to second class citizens. Both male and female stereotypes in the movie support the hegemonic masculinity. Ultimately, the depiction of manhood acts, homosociality, and stereotypes in the film, Toy Story, actively support the hegemonic masculinity at the expense of other gender identities.

In this essay, I will explain a cultural object from a scene from the movie Girls Trip, which was released on July 21, 2017. Girls Trip is about four women by the name of Ryan Pierce (Regina Hall), Sasha Franklin (Queen Latifah), Lisa Cooper (Jada Pinkett Smith), and Dina (Tiffany Radish), who have been friends for over 10 years, and are traveling to the annual Essence Festival in New Orleans, Louisiana. The cultural subject is Ryan Piece assistant Elizabeth Davelli, who uses terms and body language to define “blackness”. To reinforce and challenge the discourse that is taking place is people of color have to speak up about the discourse and inform people who are not of color, to show how people of color are offended by those actions.

The film The Player (1992) is a tale of murder and mystery, though not a murder-mystery by Robert Altman. The film is about an industry – Hollywood, that is run like an exclusive rich boy's school, where all the kids are spoiled and most of them have ended up here because nobody else could stand them. It epitomizes the twisted and self-reflective nature of Hollywood. This film skillfully creates a central plot around Griffin Mill who is a vice president at a movie studio, which pays him enormous sums of money to listen to people describe movies to him. When he hears a pitch he likes, he passes it along. He doesn't have the authority to give a "go" signal himself, and yet for those who beseech him to approve their screenplays, he has a terrifying negative authority. He can turn them down. Altman utilizes several tactics to both seduce and amuse the audience, ultimately showcasing how easy it is to be enraptured by in the world of celebrities and attention.

“How could they outsmart the best of my Owsla?’” He twitched his nose at the thought of it.

In my interpretation, Emmy has always been corrupted by colonial fantasies, but according to Wartenberg, the “attraction these two have for one another has nothing to do with the allure of an exoticized, forbidden Other. Ali and Emmy are simply two people who have managed to open themselves up to one another in the way we call love.” Here, he’s referring to the initial attraction that draws the couple together, which he attributes to their mutual loneliness. To Wartenberg, “they seem untroubled by the social differences between them,” and later in the film, it is Emmy’s possibility of belonging to the dominant group that builds resentment in their relationship. (178). I see why Wartenberg believes there to be no intrinsic colonial element in their relationship, but this is a superficial interpretation—as I established before, Emmy can demonstrate affection toward Ali while possessing the subconscious desire to dominate him. In the scene where Ali visits Emmy’s apartment for the first time, having been invited over for coffee, Emmy reveals her history of colonial fantasies. Her late husband was a Polish Fremdarbeiter, a forced laborer in Nazi Germany, and Emmy explicitly points out that he was “not German.” Even though his skin color was presumably the same as Emmy’s, Germany treated Poland in a similar way that it treated its colonies, so Emmy likely viewed him as the colonial inferior. What’s more, Emmy admits that she was a Nazi herself. Of course, one could defend her by
