Diversity And Proper Representation : I Am Ann Zhao And The Olympians Series

Other ways diversity was shown was having Moana become the next leader of her island instead of a man. This part stood out because most of the next leaders of a tribe or country have to be a male or the woman has to marry a man who will rule. The movie did have a conflict of diversity her father believing that she was not allowed to leave the island because she was a girl and had more responsibilities on the island, and by Maui thinking she was a naive young mortal princess believing that she could defeat Te Kā and save her island by

Rick Riordan’s ‘Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief’ focuses on Greek mythology and interprets this into a children’s story. Throughout the story, there are many references and adaptations to mythological tales, and each one is portrayed in a different way. Riordan writes this story as though Hercules, Zeus and Poseidon were still around today, and this would be the effect they would have on people in this day and age.

Gender inequality has been a controversial topic for numerous religions and cultures throughout history. Women were commonly regarded as the subservient gender, an idea that was no different in Ancient Greece. Throughout Greek mythology, women were considered inferior and troublesome symbols, while men were known for courage, leadership, and strength. While there is no argument of the flagrant sexism that is illustrated in Greek mythology, it can also be claimed that women were given a situated position of freedom, necessity, and power as well. Many popular Greek plays and myths contain several complexes and well described female characters. These goddesses themselves, partook the role of victim, heroine, and villain as it illustrated the diversity of characters in which women were portrayed and seen in both Ancient Greek society and mythology, allowing us to question “Were the women of Ancient Greek mythology equally represented as free and superior?” The creation of the Greek mythological universe, the creation of multi-gendered goddesses or deities, and the free and superior personalities accredited to women in Ancient Greek mythology to answer the question that women were fairly represented as powerful in Ancient Greek mythology.

While Athena is divine, she is still a central female character and the way in which she is portrayed makes an impact on the way Homer’s women are perceived.

Once you read one it’s best to read the next so you can keep reading all of the great adventures and rescuing they do. Additionally, I would also recommend to young teenagers about 13-15 who are looking for a good book series to read. That way they would have books to read for a couple months or so without stressing about finding a book. Finally, I would recommend this book to anyone who has previously read any Percy Jackson books. This is because they are a little similar but different when it comes to powers and adventures. That is who I would recommend this book too. I rate this book a 10 because of the way it was written. Each page would have more and more details about that part in the book. If they were in a cell, they would describe the cell. Another thing i really liked about this book is how intriguing it was. When I reading one page it was so interesting I would want to read the next on,then the next one, then the next one, then the I flipped the last page. The book was so good i finished it in two days. This is why I would definitely rate this book a

The “We Need Diverse Book” campaign is a campaign focuses on creating more diversity in children's books. Diversity isn't just race, it is people with disabilities, people apart of the LGBTQ community, etc. All children deserve to see themselves in books. Because when children don't see themselves in books they may not feel as connected to the human experience. At the same books are more than mirrors, they are windows full of opportunity. Not only is it important for children to see themselves in books, but it is also important for them to read about people who are not like them. It is only then that will will understand the world around us.

In the Roman Empire, the men that were open to having sexual acts done to them by other males were looked at differently, as previously mentioned. They were looked at differently in the sense that they were categorized as feminine, and with this idea in mind, the Roman men saw these feminine men as woman in a sense so they saw it fit or acceptable to have sex with these types of men. They were, in a way, creating neutralization to the homosexual activities that they were partaking in to make it into something that defined your masculinity for the positive. The following is an excerpt from the text Roman Homosexuality by (Williams 1999):

Ryan had a wonderful time writing this book, thanks to all the inspirations that were involved. These included authors, friends, family, and teachers. He might not be writing another book, but stay tuned anyway! Overall Ryan is very interesting and had a great time with this

The hero’s journeys of Gilgamesh and J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series shape the central characters and develop their qualities so they can rise to their station and overcome their difficult tasks along the way.

The Sea of Monsters is an intriguing and adventurous book second in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series and is written by Rick Riordan as the New York Times number one bestselling book. This is a fictional yet audacious story intended for young adults around the age group of twelve years old. The books jacket has an interesting illustration that coincides with the title which could suggest what the conflict in the story will represent. The title is interesting because it questions the reader’s knowledge of the previous book in the series of what Percy’s quest might consist of this time around. The author has the book broken up into twenty chapters, with each chapter’s title hinting at what the chapter could overall be concerning.

In the world of Ancient Greece, a large array of deities were worshipped. Each god had their own forms of identification in which they used to express themselves. This includes things such as personality, style, sexuality, and many other things. One of these forms of expression was gender. The Greeks seemed to focus more on the two typical genders, which are male and female. Some Greek gods seemed to play into certain gender roles, but others portrayed traits of the opposite sex. In this paper, I will be analysing the possibility that the Greeks believed the female and male genders were closely connected and that is why many of the gods are described with blended aspects of gender.

I would like to consider my cultural heritage as diverse, but this is far from reality. Over the years as I matured through my teenage years, I was exposed to different cultures by life experiences and travel. I struggled to create both a personal and cultural identity while trying to adjust to my sight loss and with the support of my family I traveled overseas to experience other cultures for the first time. My family opened up their home to a foreign exchange program in turn allowing me the opportunity to travel over to Europe at the age of 16 years old. This opportunity started the slow progression of experiences that would open my mind to others who are unlike myself, especially traveling to a strange place and feeling different in
