Eventually she scrapes together

“No one loses their innocence. It is either taken away or given willingly” Tiffany Madison. A person’s innocence and freedom should be theirs to hold and control, but that is not always the way things unfold. Conviction flaws, poor evidence, and the social responses to these flaws are all involved and present in the cases of Paula Gray and Keith Allen Harward, as new evidence thirty years after they were imprisoned comes to light.

Sarah Lund is not presented as a (stereotypical) woman in regards to defined femininity. Her clothing is plain, she does not seem to pay any attention to make-up – neither would she probably find the time for it – her hair is carelessly pulled back, and she does not portray any empathy or identification towards her victims or suspects. Ien Ang discussed this renewed representation of women on television and noted that being a woman can now mean the “adaptation of many different identities, composed of a whole range of subject positions, not predetermined by immovable definitions of femininity” (2008, pp. 242-243). The Scandinavian female investigators have a nature of the lone classic film noire detective, like discussed in chapter 1, and the

One person I would choose to be if I had to pick fictional or nonfictional, is Jessica Day, or Jess, from the T.V. show, New Girl. Jess has this certain personality that would clash with mine in a positive outlook. In the show, Jess is a teacher for elementary kids, and that I find pretty substantial. I remember when I was younger, I suggested to be a teacher as one of my professions and Jess was basically who I wanted to be when I first witnessed the show. She’s simple in the way her life is structured and how she decides to decipher her decisions. Jess’s personality--to me, I consider her bubbly, outgoing and somewhat blunt, or straight to the point.

If someone was asked the question “What is an American?”, how would he or she respond? Many might consider an American to be a person from the United States. However, some may discover a deeper meaning to this question and answer in a less literal way. The stories read in class from Unit One help the public to answer this puzzling question. Their description of American history gives insight about what the land was founded upon. Some impressions of the past are still seen in modern America. The common value of freedom by the Pilgrims, Olaudah Equiano, and fictional Rebecca Nurse in The Crucible and their need to fight for what they believe in, makes them very persistent people. When the Puritan Pilgrims and the slave Equiano came to America,

The Vietnam War was a perplexing, unjustified conflict where both historians and the media over-generalized service members’ experiences. They constantly failed to speak for all people with firsthand combat experience and focused solely on the male’s perspective. Lynda Van Devanter, a former member of the U.S. Army Nurse Corps (ANC) and Vietnam veteran was the first woman who educated America on the female’s position during the Vietnam War and systematically destroyed the stereotype of an undamaged, inessential Vietnam nurse. Contrary to popular belief, the Vietnam War distorted the mentality of both men and women who served overseas, according to Devanter. Historians and the media, rather than acknowledging the Vietnam Nurses’ distinct perspective as a key element of the morally ambiguous altercation, they focused solely on male veteran experiences and failed to accurately portray the war. By changing the subject of Vietnam War stories through her forthright memoir, Home Before Morning, Devanter wrote about the fallacious stereotypes nurses

Have you ever noticed how some people just stand out from the crowd? Like the clouds in the sky and blades of grass, people are all different. “Everyday Use” by Alice Walker has a good example of an interesting, unique character. Maggie is a young girl who is not only physically but also mentally scarred. The way the burning house, her stuck-up sister, and society affects Maggie makes her different from everyone else.

After Linda died, O’Brien kept her alive by dreaming of her all the time, he even looked forward to sleeping just so he could see her. This was the beginning of his storytelling and keeping people alive with his mind or through stories. She represents the loss of innocence and loss of childhood. This representation is an example of the young soldiers who lost their lives and drastically changed in the war. When she died and Timmy saw her dead body he realized that people die and your friends can die; which is something the soldiers experienced for the first time. O’Brien keeping her alive

Jayla is certainly more capable in terms of her cognitive development as a result of her experiences in college. Instead of a blind faith based on the convictions and commitments of her family members and fellow church members, she now can choose freely what her beliefs and values are because of her own life experience, which have been tried and tested by her own experiences. Not that experience is always the best teacher in every circumstance, but certainly in matters of faith, one can only live what one truly believes. The trials and questions of life will surely expose what Jayla truly believes. She would find it hard to maintain her former absolute thinking as she entered the world as a professional, intellectual and independent thinker.
