We chose to make a book cover as our promotional product because we felt that this would be the best way to visually express the memoir. First They Killed My Father: A Daughter Of Cambodia Remembers details the harsh life experiences of Loung Ung, a survivor of the Khmer Rouge genocide. A book cover is a visual representation of the horror Loung as well as many others faced during this time of immense difficulty.

The book talks about the bridge,or connection between things, and, like real monkey bridged, can be broken and hard to navigate. Examples can be found throughout the book like how Mai father, Bihn, first saw Thanh on a monkey bridge, or how Baba Quan came on a monkey bridge to save Uncle Michele. This theme of connection is found throughout the book which is probably why the author designed the cover this way. But it is lacks Mai inter suggeral between tradition and culture, also the conflict between Mai and Thanh. The original cover is one side, for a book where each reader takes a different viewpoint. The current picture is not properly representing the battles Mai fights. In fact it almost gives a sense of tranquillity, which is paradoxical compared to disobedient PTSD quality throughout the book. Plus the cover in not engaging, defeating the main purpose of a cover. Therefore the current cover does not correctly represent the novel Monkey

The motion picture is generally intended to have viewers get actively involved in changing the world. Lee and his collaborators practically wanted to highlight a disturbing event so as for the masses to do something about the

1. In the comic book Alexie reads, Superman is breaking through a door. The point of this paragraph was to show us that the little Indian boy was breaking through a metaphorical door when he began trying to read. It is important to remember this at the end because Alexie talks about wanting to break through other kids’ doors to get them to read even though they are very stubborn. To most Indian children, Alexie is a superhero, like Superman, saving lives by breaking through to others and allowing children to read.

One way that this graphic novel makes me uncomfortable is how it displays the pain and suffering of innocent Japanese civilians that had no contribution to the war. An example of this feeling is when the author illustrates the two young Japanese boys having a harmless, immature conversation. One of the boys is riding a bike and taunting his other friend for

I had never actually been in Science Room #3 until having to help Nekozawa, but I discovered just how great of a meeting place it was for the Black Magick Club and him. Each science room had dark room capabilities that blocked out all light from the outside. When it was lit with candles, it wasn’t too bad in there. I had managed to not bump into things, after all.

The imagery here creates a very strong effect and can be felt throughout the remainder of the novel. Although Ying ying

I am reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. This book is about two kids and their friend that try to figure out the mystery of why Arthur (Boo) Radley will not come out of his house and why he is never seen. In this journal I will be predicting and evaluating.

There are a lot of excellent significant landmarks that can be commemorated by a coin by the colonial Williamsburg foundation; but here are the four structures that are worthy of being commemorated: The Bruton Parish Church, the Capitol, the Governor's Palace, and the Magazine. Commemorate means to honor a certain place or a person. All these structures are important, but the most significant structure to commemorate is clearly the Magazine. According to my research, the Magazine is the best choice because it succeeds all of the goals it has to meet, it has a lot of historical significance, it is relevant to citizens today, and it has a connection to the mission statement “The future may learn from the past.”. The paragraphs below will explain

The magazine Ladies Repository: A Monthly Periodical Devoted to Literature, Arts, and Religion is a magazine that was published in 1800 and was targeted towards young women. The magazine was a way to help teach and encourage women of the time on how to properly fit in and behave according to the rules that society had placed on them. It taught them how to be considered an ideal, cultured woman with high morals and spiritual standards. Although many readers today would argue that the teachings and ideas taught by this magazine are extremely outdated and outrageously sexist, one must realize that this was society’s standard for women during the 1800’s.

“For me, the feelings just bottle up inside and I need to get them out somehow,” Lasher said. “And the physical representation just makes me feel more at ease about what’s happening in my life.”

On another note, we can also see how this magazine attracts women. Most women care for clothes and jewelry, others care for the artistic aspect of another culture. I’ve scanned through the entire magazine, and I have not seen a gadget that a man might be interested in, which is why we can infer that women are most likely to be the audience that this magazine aims to attract.

Weber and Carini challenge the double standard Sports Illustrated demonstrates concerning not only the frequency of women on cover but also the fashion in which they are depicted. Weber and Carini tallied the frequency of women portrayed on SI covers for 11 years (2000-2011) and then calculating a yearly percentage. Unsurprisingly, the average percentage of women featured on the covers was only 4.9 percent. The highest percentage was only 10.2% which occurred in 2000. However, the percentage took a dramatic downfall the following year to only 1.7%. In other words, the percentages continued to decrease rather than increase. Weber and Carini attribute this to the influence of media. Women grow into a world in which their athletic skills are not

Chapter 2 of Genji Monogatari touched on the physical appearance of woman and how they must look to be desirable, but it also went in depth of the pluses and minuses of other
