Analyzing The Film 'Black Widow'

This novel completely neglects the conventional idea of narration and takes on its own definition of a narrator and their voice. The first story mentioned in the novel is Sasha’s we discover that she is a kleptomaniac and has been so for a long time. When Alex discovered her table of “collected items” it is described;

My initial observation of Dashkova is her ability to be extraordinary despite her difficult upbringing. Her intelligence was compelling to the Empress Catherine and the men that she had encountered during her traveling. Dashkova portrayed herself as a strong, versatile woman, who’s not only different from most of the women during the time period, but can also outperform her male counterparts in various tasks (e.g. surgery, debate, carpenting, etc.) (pg. 144). She surprised the readers at the first moment when she met Prince Dashkov, a Moscow man. She fell in love with him and got married at the age of 16. The proposal was informal and emotional unlike the traditional arrangement with its strict regulations. Just 5 years after, Prince Dashkov passed away, leaving Dashkova 2 children and his mountainous gambling debt. In the most hopeless scenario, Dashkova managed to raise her 2 children and provided her son a wonderful education while still remaining faithful to the Empress Catherine II. She declared, “My own poverty affected me not at all” (pg. 149).

When Torvald finds her hairpin stuck in the keyhole of the letter box, Nora tells him it must have been their children trying to get into it, not willing to admit that she had tried to break into his things.

This last lie, however, leads up to her finally speaking the truth and expressing that she no longer feels that she loves Torvald. Her husband is furious at her, insulting her, and fails to see that every lie that she told was for his sake. Realizing that Torvald can’t see her side of things and will only find fault in what she did, she consequently comes to her decision to leave her family. Nora states that she is not happy and never really was, her marriage to Torvald was as fake as a doll house according to her. Rather than lie, she is completely honest now and states that she wants to become her own person and learn that which she doesn’t know despite what society might think.

The book follows her over the course of five years, following her from her home in the city, through work camps to refugee camps, weaving between the lives and deaths of those whom she called family. The novel deals with the brutality of genocide, and is classified an adult novel, but in reality, no amount of age could prepare someone for the heart-wrenching tragedy that is a little girl striving to live amongst death. While some would argue that such an extreme trauma would leave the victim scarred

She was “at best a C level character in the comics, so it is a true testament to Marvel Studios for propelling the character into the mainstream” (Black Widow). However, her character has always been in a supporting role, and this has left fans wanting more.

Although Adam Smith and Karl Marx’s theories are considered the backbone of political theory, their argument on social order is less of a reality in today’s society. Smith argues that the division of labor is man’s best means of production and that each individual should master their specific area of production. Marx on the other hand, argues that revolution is the ultimate end of capitalism, which there is a class struggle between the bourgeois and the proletarians. With the rise of globalization due to the advancement of technology, both Smith and Marx’s arguments have become less relevant.

This paper, broken into two sections, includes a mock case study of a young woman, from the movie Black Swan, who meets criteria for a Schizophrenia spectrum disorder, followed by current research on schizophrenia and recommended treatment. Because specific temporal information is unavailable and the key difference between schizophreniform disorder and schizophrenia is duration, the diagnosis made for the purpose of this paper is schizophrenia. The research portion will cover current research and treatment of schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a disorder defined by a heterogeneous set of irregularities across multiple modalities, including “cognitive, behavioral, and emotional dysfunctions” (American Psychiatric Association, 2013, p.100). This mock case study is an important reminder for counseling students: Client symptoms may not always be transparent to clinicians. Clients may purposefully withhold information, lack insight to report, or may have sufficient factual insight to avoid the perceived stigma of reporting.

Honestly, though it's written by Stephen King, Creepshow is not a contender for my favorite horror anthology film. In fact I see this film as below both King and Romero's ability. I only enjoyed less than half of the stories and with the others being fair or simply boring. Which is sad, because I remember this film being far better than it is. It wasn't until I re-watched this film did I realize I had seen it, but it had been so long that it had mostly been buried under other more resent films. The realization clicked during the second story, The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill. As I had remember this short, but I could never place where I had seen it. It makes sense to me that I would remember that one, as it stars King and in my opinion it is far and away the best of the bunch.

This essay will compare and contrast the thoughts of two great activists for women’s rights, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Ida B. Wells-Barnett. Their perspectives on women, class, and race were in opposition to one another, yet they both share some common views on white male dominance of 19th century America.
