Dottie Henson In The Film A League Of Their Own

Throughout the film we, see both the coach, individual players, and the team as a whole face numerous psychological obstacles which they overcome to reach the final. The film is based highly around racism and racial divides within basketball. Throughout the film we can see a constant battle with the idea of Perception, and how both player and overcome this. In order to form the 1966 championship winning team,

Tiffany Maxwell is a pessimistic, young lady and recently widowed. Her role throughout the film, Silver Linings Playbook, is to support co-star, Patrick Solitano Jr. rescue his broken marriage as he has recently been released from a psychiatric hospital. Tiffany was once married to a man named Tommy. She described the lasts few months of the marriage as sexually dormant and explained, “I just wasn’t into sex at all… and I was depressed…he wanted me to have kids and I have a hard enough time taking care of myself” (Gigliotti, D. Gordon, 2012). She then goes on to explain that one night, her husband drove to Victoria Secret to buy some lingerie to get something going. He was later struck by a car on the side of rode and killed.

A League of Their Own is my all-time favorite movie. While being a true story also gives a very good representation on how girls started playing ball.

Stella-Rondo brings out jealousy in Sister that causes tension between them. Sister hates that Stella-Rondo married Mr. Whitaker since Sister supposedly had him first. She feels like Stella-Rondo broke them up by lying. Most likely, Sister is upset because she was not the one to end up with the guy she liked, but she displays her feelings childishly. Sister’s

Nettie is the only character who loves Celie consistently and unconditionally throughout the entire novel. Because she loves Celie so strongly, Celie reciprocates the care. Their mutual love for each other remains steadfast even after the sisters are separated for thirty years without any contact.

In “Mean Girls” by Tina Fey, there are a few characters that stand out because of how interesting they are. One that stands out the most to me is Karen Smith. In the course of the movie, she deals with her friends bringing a new girl into the group and that girl ends up turning into the “Queen” throughout the movie. Karen has to go through with her friends getting into verbal and physical wars. The writer also reveals that Karen is not the smart one of the group. For example, she tries to catch a football with her chest and it just ends up bouncing off. She appears to be dull-minded and clueless. Karen Smith shows that throughout the story she is a static character because she never changes throughout the movie.

The film wasn’t about that 13-0 record and winning a state championship, but the struggle that came with it and all the hardships they had to deal and get past. Racism, prejudice, compassion and love were all key aspects of this film as shown. The racism, prejudice of the team when they first met was severe and had been changed. The love and compassion came as the team grew to become one unit and love each other and be able to become something more powerful than they could be by themselves.

Meanwhile she is also taking care of her father, Marvin, and her aunt, Ruth. She then contacts her sister Lee who she has been out of contact with for many years and asks her and her sons to be tested to see if she could get a bone transplant from them. They come down to Florida but Hank, Lee's oldest son, is hesitant at first. Once all of the family members have been tested, it is discovered that no one can be a donor for Bessie. Despite this, Bessie continues with her life and taking care of her aunt and father and their family life goes on. The story worked pretty well but some of the back story was confusing. The past relationship of Bessie and Lee was mentioned briefly but was not clearly explained and also the incident that put Hank in the mental asylum and his actual mental condition are not really explained. The sudden closeness of the family once they meet up seemed a little strange. For example, Lee’s younger son Charlie seems to become close with Ruth almost immediately despite the fact that they had never met. This seems like an unlikely situation. Despite some confusing parts in the

The movie shows a time when people only considered men to be able to play baseball professionally and that there was no place for women in the sport at that level. It attempts to shed some light on the kind of hardships women had to get through during that era in order to be seen as an equal in sports and in that it is a successful movie. It helps that the movie is based in spirit around real history from the time. I can fully recommend A League of Their Own as an entertaining and informative movie.

In the beginning Pearl is living with her mother, father, thirteen year old sister Lexie, and Bitey the cat in New York City. Pearl was entering fifth

One of the most well know players of all time is Jennie Finch. Finch, like many great players, started playing the game very early on in her life at the age of five. Just a mere three years later she pitched her first ball. During Finch's high school career she was known for being an athletic girl. Her senior year she was Captain of her volleyball team, basketball team, and softball team. Finch lettered in softball in all of her high school years and most recently in 2016 Finch’s high school, La Mirada, retired her jersey number, the first time for a softball player.

When the group of male students are first introduced to their summer training camp, students are roomed with someone of the opposite race, it begins a long and hard road for them to move past some of their preconceptions. At first players are instructed to learn more about every player of both race. But there are major turning points such as when black and white players finally see past differences that are imposed, and they begin to connect and become better athletes and people. I see the camp as an ideal for a movement for the team to get away from the bias of their community and grow together as a team. Most of the young men start to see the bigger picture and that they all want to win. Although this is a gradual process, most of them gain each other’s respect and friendship by the end of the trip.

Guillermo Del Toro’s Crimson Peak tells the tale of our heroine, Edith Cushing, portrayed by the doe-eyed Mia Wasikowska. In the opening narrative, she states firmly, “Ghosts are real. I know that now.” Fourteen years after receiving a warning from her dead mother to “beware of Crimson Peak,” Edith writes and lives wither her doting yet stern father, Carter Cushing (Jim Beaver.) They’re well off, a fact Mr. Cushing is proud of.

With Laura, Laurie, and Meg, her cousins, as mentors Leila begins to understand the social aspect of her new home. However, at times, she doesn’t seem to be enjoying herself. Her First Ball is the story of a nervous, shy, and excited young girl learning how to fit in in her new home. While, the girls are getting ready for the ball Leila seems to be a bit confused, at one point she asks, “Am I meant to have one too?” (2), but standing there answerless she takes one anyway.

In Bhumika, Usha, the heroine of the film, is victim of the injustice of the society that considers women as properties and materialized them as “slave[s] or wax doll[s] that [men are] afraid [they] could have melt out in the sun.” The movie showcases a problematic life that the heroine finds herself in which eventually controls herself entirely giving her no choice of her own at all. Usha since her childhood is given no freedom and all of the surrounding people take control over her live to an extent that they would like to shape her life as the perfect life they believe to be for her and snatch her freedom to choose how she wants her life to be and whatever pleases her or whatever she think might suit her. As a kid, she is always encountering violence in many so many different ways that will change her character and raise her insecurity which is one of the main cause of her difficulties she later faces when she becomes adult. As Gandhi says “If we are ever to have real peace in this world we shall have to begin with the children.” Usha does not find peace ever as a kid. The first scene in black-and-white of the flashbacks shows Usha running from her mother with her chicken which seems that Usha loves very much. Her mother wants the chicken to cook it for “The Master” and when Usha refuses to give her the chicken her mother slaps her and after that comes a most dreadful scene for such an innocent kid, eating her own chicken. She is beaten several times and her mother is
