How do the traditional gender roles we put on people in the 20th century affect how women and men see themselves now and during the 1940’s through the 1950’s. During World War Two tend to think of only men serving when that was actually not the case in World War Two ” some 350,00 women served in the armed forces.” In City of Thieves by David Benioff Vika,Kolya, and Lev all serve in non traditional roles. In City of Thieves the theme of masculinity and femininity plays a prevalent role in Levs feelings towards being a ‘real man’, Vika’s non traditional female role and Koylas masculinity throughout the novel.

As Thorin and Company are making their way to the Last Homely House, they run into elves who sing a “ridiculous” song to, and about, the dwarves and Bilbo. It is more nonsensical than the dwarves’ song, and it sounds like something fairies would sing. The tune is almost like a children's story the way it rhymes every last word of a line. Although this song may make the elves look a little foolish and scatterbrained, they seem to know a lot about the dwarves. Despite that the company did not introduce themselves,

The Last Kingdom, written by Bernard Cornwell, is a novel following a young Anglo-Saxon boy named Uhtred through his journey of growing up as a dane after being taken in a battle. When Uhtred is seven years old Danes come to where he lives,Bebbanburg, and kill his brother. Since he is next in line to own and rule Bebbanburg, his father takes him into battle against the danes. However, when Uhtred sees the man that killed his brother, he charges into battle and meets someone that would shape him into being the man he will become. After his father is killed in the battle, the man who killed his brothers takes him back and raises him as a son due to his courageous behaviors at the battle.

Each character is unique in their own way. When comparing the female roles, you can easily see that the stepmother and evil witch are more similar compared to Gretel.

I tried to avoid all things Elf on a Shelf, until my daughter started kindergarten and her teacher read them the Elf on a Shelf book and brought an elf into their classroom. The influence that this classroom elf had on my daughter was clearly strong and she often would mention it to me. Along with the frequent mentioning from my daughter I also saw many friends positing on social media of all the fun, creative ways they introduced their elves to their family and the daily picture post of what and where their elf was each day. I eventually gave in and we adopted an elf of our own.

“The Last of the Mohicans” is a historical novel written by James Fennimore Cooper in 1826, depicting colonial America in 1757 amidst the bloody and long-drawn French and Indian War. The novel is an epic tale of war, loyalty, and the clashing of peoples from different backgrounds and races. Roughly 160 years later, the novel was adapted into a film which, despite the identical settings of the book and the movie, largely transforms the complex historical novel of a war amongst races into a saga of love, lust, and sacrifice through the oversimplification of the novel’s two female characters, Cora and Alice. Although, in the book, Cora is depicted as a fiery and mysterious Afro-Caribbean woman who lacks a love interest and dies heroically at the hands of the enemy, in the movie, Cora is reduced to a white woman whose character is centralized around the competing interests of two white men and appears destined for love. Ultimately, Cora’s character transformation from book to novel through her changed race, her exerted femininity, and her eventual romantic happy-ending demonstrates the serial reconstruction of strong, complex female characters as oversimplified vehicles for an audience-accepted romantic plotline and the centralization of male character dominance.
