Carrie’s personality did not not allow her to be more social which could have helped her to educate herself on the puberty right, hence her first menstral cycle became a tragedy a nd disaster which affected her whole life. Suprisingly her first menstrual cycle happened at shool when she was taking a shower and becuase of lack of knowledge annouces it publicly for the rest of the students to know , a video was taken about when she had her menstral cycle and it became a talk of the school and had a big influence over her life some students had punishemt for example some where suspended from their prom and one of them happened to be Sue Snell became deeply regreted for maltreaing carrie with the menstral cycle. Although Sue Snell was punshed and not allowed to attend to the prom becuase of Carrie White’s menstral cycle she was conviced that she has to do something for Carrie to cancel what she had done hence she gave her the oppurtunity to go to prom with Tommy the gender,sex, and distinction here is the age of Carrie and the intersectionality is the identity and raise of Carrie’s life and the essentialism is the consideration of her puberty right. The material identity here is the maltreatment of the students against her menstral cycle which reminded her of the tragedy that happened to her. Sue was trying to cancel al the things they had done to her that were
There have been many people who wish to believe that nature has accepted them as one of her own. Two of these people are more similar than the others though. Timothy Treadwell was a drug addict turned self-proclaimed nature expert. Chris McCandless was a lost youth starving for self-realization. Both of their stories end in tragedy.
Teenage rebellion is typically portrayed in stories, films, and other genres as a testosterone-based phenomenon. There is an overplayed need for one to acknowledge a boy’s rebellion against his father, his life direction, the “system,” in an effort to become a man, or rather an adult. However, rarely is the female addressed in such a scenario. What happens when little girls grow up? Do they rebel? Do they, in a sudden overpowering rush of estrogen, deny what has been taught to them from birth and shed their former youthful façades? Do they turn on their mothers? In Sharon Olds’ poem, “The Possessive,” the reader is finally introduced to the female version of the popular coming-of-age theme as a simple
Nature affects people the most because genes and hereditary factors in which influence people to become who they are. Plato and Descartes, philosophers, proposed that certain things are inborn and regardless of environmental influence they occur naturally and many other philosophers believed that all of our characteristics and behaviors are the result of evolution (Chemy 2). People learn new information every day; as soon as individuals are conceived their brain starts to learn and understand things around them. Newborn babies are accustomed to the mother’s womb and as a human being individuals are born oblivious to everything that appears to be around them. Each individual needs parents
When Jeannette begins school in Welch, an African American girl Dinitia Hewitt and her friends harassed and beat up Jeannette for being scrawny and filthy. She is constantly made fun of because it is apparent that she lives in poverty. The other children do not accept other that aren’t like them and Jeannette is no exception. Her worn clothes and grimy hair are like a neon sign shouting about her life in poverty which makes Jeannette an easy target to bullies. Jeannette tries very hard to stand up for herself, however, the bullying only stops once other realize that living in poverty and being different was not Jeannette’s
When I first began this gender, women, and sexuality class I thought it would be an easy five credit class to slack through my undergrad with while I could focus on my “real” classes like stats. However, I have since come to love the subject and find it fascinating. This class has given me a new respect for others and, above all, myself. To reflect on what I have learned I chose two readings that have been the most influential to me; Julia Serano’s selection from Whipping Girl and the first reading by Adrienne Rich called Claiming an Education.
Of course, adversity is ultimately inevitable in life. When a problem arises, individuals are generally astonished at the response to the complexity of the situation. This makes adversity becomes a wall that is unable to be broken down. However, there is a point in an individual where their instincts can reveal the truth, “it’s part of life to have obstacles, it’s about overcoming obstacles, that’s the key to happiness.” Qualities and characteristics of individuals are revealed during the hard times. These talents that are within us, that are usually locked up to give the ability for an individual to unlock the adversity that it created. In this sense, an individual true color and nature can be revealed leading to a new understanding of the capability to overcome adversities.
Intersectionality is one of the most integral aspects of modern feminism because it recognizes that multiple factors - such as race, age, gender, class, religion, sexual orientation, etc. - contribute to one’s personal experience with sexism. Thus, one solution may not be the solution for everyone woman. One example that portrayed how important of a concept intersectionality is in modern feminism was, The Purity Myth by Jessica Valenti, because it showed how the sexual lives of younger women are held at different standards compared to that of older women. Jessica Valenti shown a light on how many young women are raised to believe that their “virginity” is the most important quality a young woman can have. Valenti also showed that even if young women aren’t directly told that their
On the evening of July 27th, I attended a production of “Carrie: The Musical” based on the novel “Carrie” by Stephen King. The musical was performed by Near West Theater in Cleveland and directed by Devon Turchan. The main character who name is Carrie White is an outcast through the entire play and her entire life you learn this when the other students talk about past experiences with Carrie. The main antagonist in the play is her very own mother Margaret White. Ms.White is a very religious woman that wants to protect Carrie from the dangers in the world and even herself, very overprotective women and to what I believe very crazy. The plot is brought to life by supporting characters/actors in the play who names are Sue Nell, Tommy Ross, Chris Hargensen, Billy Nolan, Miss Gardner. The actions of all these people building up and resting on carrier shoulders throughout the play cause her to find out she has powers. The end of Act II is when everything comes together Carrie who was invited to the prom by Tommy Ross in a generous gesture that was purposed by Sue Nell. The prom was going very well and Carrie was becoming carefree and was seeing everything she missed out on. Things took things for the worse when Chris and Tommy pour pigs blood on her when she won prom queen. Carrie took all the frustration and years of bullying and the powers she found out about she burned everyone alive at the prom. When she got home she was covered in blood and was crying her very own mom took
Within heteronormative ideas and discursive practices, lives are marginalised socially and politically, as a result of they can be invisible within societies. During the time the novel took place feminism was in its second wave and hierarchal structures were dominate. All of these factors are thought-provoking and something I noticed subconsciously throughout the text, I would like to knowingly
This novel inherently queers the idea of normality by challenging the unstated norm. The idea of normality is a social constructed idea, based upon the concepts that there is an inherent “normal”. Normal is synonymous with expected, or conforming to a standard. However, when we analyze gender and sex, we come to the realization that there is no standard, yet society finds comfort in the ‘usual’ male/female dynamic. Krissy’s normal is that she has always been an athlete, and while always feminine in nature, was never overtly feminine or sexual. She was well-liked by many of her classmates and so was Sam, who was also a three sport athlete. They were members of the popular crowd in school, which is demonstrated when Krissy and her boyfriend win Homecoming King and Queen in the beginning of the novel. After Homecoming, Krissy and Sam are in a limo, and Sam convinces the driver to stop for a little in a parking lot, and Krissy has already decided that this would be this night she lost her virginity. After a while, Krissy began to experience large amounts of pain, and Sam stopped. They proceeded to go home, and Krissy made an appointment with an ob-gyn for the next day, where she discovers that she is
Zhuo uses pathos at the opening of her argument by giving an anecdote about a girl in high school named Maggie Sunseri who experienced, as well as witnessed discrimination for the way she and her female peers dressed. This makes the reader feel sympathy for girls as well as creates anger in the reader towards the district. Zhou continues to build on these two emotions with other anecdotes throughout the article. She describes a high school prom in South Jordan, Utah, where she talks with another high school student named Cierra Gregersen. She explains Gregerson’s experience at her prom where girls weren’t allowed in because the didn’t meet dress code standards. Zhou quotes Gregerson saying ‘“Girls were outside the dance crying hysterically,”(Zhou, 2015) to continue making the reader feel sympathy for the girls in this situation. She also builds anger in the readers to help motivate them to stand up against school boards. She does this by villainizing many teachers and other school employees when she quotes teachers and principals from schools stating sexist remarks such as “boys will be boys”( Zhou, 2015) and “dressing sexy is “asking for a response” (Zhou, 2015) to show the male entitled environment schools produce. Zhou not only builds sympathy in the reader for girls, but also transgenders and gays. She describes how transgenders are also being negatively impacted. By giving a few more examples that cover more than just how girls are affected Zhou is able to impact more readers, creating anger and sympathy in them. She also begins to use ethos

The essay will be focusing more on the characters of each female leads of the film. The female-driven film narrated by three women whose lives are intertwined with each other and hopping back in time to tell their stories. These women, Rachel, Megan, and Anna, got entangled in a crime and at the end, they take back their power despite their flaws and complex characters. Of the three, Rachel is unlikely the main protagonist of the movie albeit messed up, as Johanson points out “obsessive, alcoholic, delusional, and self-absorbed” (Johanson, 2016).
Nature as w e know it means different things to different people. To an economist, natural is often seen as a resource to be transformed and put in readiness for human use. An alternative view is that humans are stewards who should care for natural things as well as making use of nature’s bounty. Another view is that nature of animism, which sees nature as a living thing, something to be respected and not controlled. Some native American’s view the earth as a sacred place could be called animist. Another alternative view is that the entire planet earth is a self correcting system based on a symbiotic relationship between the earth and the living beings(Peacock,
Ancients believed that the storm meant the gods were angry. This figurative storm brought forth a slave with fire on his hand, but no wound. Women saw men walking up and down the streets on fire. A lion, supposed to be a predator and wanting to eat humans, just gaze at Casca, not attacking him. All of this shows, that nature is in chaos, and is acting in an unnatural manure.
