O’Brien says the most enduring Vietnam stories are those that are between the absolutely unbelievable and the mundane. “Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong” is a tale about loss of innocence. Mary Anne Bell, arrives at Vietnam who soon feels drawn to the culture and the thrill of war. The character Rat Kiley tells a story of his first assignment in the mountains of Chu Lai, in a isolated area where he ran an aid station with several men near a river called the Song Tra Bong. One day, Eddie Diamond, the highest ranking man in his company, jokingly suggests that the area is so unguarded and extremely safe that you could bring a girl to the camp. A medic, Mark Fossie, seems interested in the idea and goes off to write a letter to his elementary school

On page 92 in “Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong,” Rat Kiley uses the simile “...like a cheerleader visiting the opposing team's locker room,” to describe the sight of Mary Anne visiting the village of Tra Bong. Mary Anne is compared to a cheerleader because she is a young cute girl all dolled up in nice clothes while visiting a poor village with “thatched roofs” and “naked children.” This simile is to compare the odd sight of a well dressed girl in this run down village in Vietnam, to illustrate how she doesn’t look like she belongs, like “visiting the opposing team’s locker room.” On page 106, Mary Anne uses the hyperbole "...Sometimes I want to eat this place,” to express how much the thrill of the war in Vietnam makes her feel alive. She

The Guerrilla Girls are a group of women formed in 1984 after an art exhibition hosted by the Museum of Modern Art in New York City where it became clear to them that the art industry was gender bias with women artists not being acknowledged.

They have done this by producing factual and humorous posters that comment on these issues and that challenges and confronts society to realise the injustice.

Why do people think that ethnic stereotypes operate in the same ways for men and women? That’s just being ignorant in common sense. Honestly they may never operate in the same way for both genders. In “Ghetto Bitches, China Dolls, and Cha Cha Divas”, Jennifer Pozner makes it very clear that women in are judged heavily in a feminist point of view. Ethan Watters examines Joseph Henrich’s research and explains how researchers have failed to corporate how the connection between culture and cognition affect psychology.

Mary Ann can be seen transforming in the chapter “Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong”. The transformations in the chapter take place at different times as the story progresses. The Mary Ann that is presented at the beginning of the chapter is a great contrast to the Mary Ann that we end the chapter with. The different transformations of Mary Ann that take place are physical, behavioral, and psychological. These different types of transformations can symbolize many different things, some of which will be discussed in the following. Resisting Remasculinization: Tim O'Brien's “Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong” an article based on the chapter and book by Chris Vanderwees also discusses how the changes relate to the world.

Despite evident differences in the compositional elements of Picasso’s Les Demoiselles and Manet’s A Bar at the Folies-Bergère, both utilise a composition with a shallow plane to distort visual perception in their work. This distortion promotes the spectator to revaluate the way they perceive these female prostitute subjects. Picasso’s treatment of paint and use blocked colours in Les Demoiselles creates the sensation of a flat, two-dimensional image, signifying a radical break from traditional modes of representation. The lack of depth in the painting pushes the figures of female prostitutes on top of each other, layering the stark angles and sharp forms that make up their bodies. In addition, this layering on such a large scale (243.9 cm × 233 cm) creates a feeling that the figures are pushing beyond the boundaries of the work and imposing themselves onto the spectator. Furthermore, the stances of the prostitutes, who are dramatically flaunting their bodies with arms raised and torsos presented openly, fills the frame, refusing the spectator to accesses to other areas of the image. Instead the female figures dominate the attention of the viewer, in some ways empowering these figures who previously lacked representation. These formal elements of composition all come together in Les Demoiselles to challenge the spectator’s ways of viewing the females in the work.

The idea of the Chicano community muralism as a requirement for the “art of place” shows that the practice is specific to an area. Even though they are understood in the context of the history of a location, they rarely remain to be a still symbol of a certain moment or a place in the record of events from the past.

Throughout the years, women’s participation has been overlooked by the general public, where their contributions to civil rights movements has been belittled or removed from history all together. Their hard work is often accredited to men, where women are forced to remain silent and oppressed - all while depicted as unintelligent second-class citizens who belong in the kitchen in both the Latino community and the Anglo community. The Chicano Movement itself is a gendered movement, in which only men have portrayed as leader of El Moviemnto where whenever one googles the term ‘Chicano Movement’ the images that come up are of Cesar Chavez, Rodolfo Gonzalez or Jose Angel Gutierrez – all men. In the 1960s, the image of the Soldaderas was adopted by the Chicana feminists’ movement as a symbol of revolutionary womanhood and female resistance. During the Mexican Revolution, a new breed of women

“Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong” by Tim O’Brien and “Here, Bullet” by Brian Turner share striking similarities in their content. Although O’Brien’s story is extensive and Turner’s poem is quite short, the two works share a similar tone and message. The overall shared message is that of resignation to the inevitable, whether that is giving oneself to a bullet or to Vietnam itself; and the adrenaline rush that goes along with this resignation.

The Kim Sisters, Wonder Girls, and Girls’ Generation, and Nicki Minaj reveal the same aspect of gender ideology: sexualized female commodities. However, through the process of globalization, they are represented in different contexts in terms of time and place. Also, feminine sexualities are depicted in different theme in regard with the level of cultural adaptation, appropriation, or subversion in the process of globalization. Koichi Iwabuchi’s concept of cultural odor and fragrance and Sun Jung’s concept of transculturality as hybridity help understand the similar but different aspects in each music video.

The Guerilla Girls are a women’s activist art group. They are masked women who came together to make change in the world of art and women’s involvement in society. GG emerged in 1985 and still are active today in New York after 30 years of the emergence of the group. The Guerilla Girls used posters with real statistics to show awareness of sexism in the art world and the discrimination of women in politics as well as in the mass media. The Guerrilla Girls spread awareness of sexism in art, discrimination in politics and the mass media through their workshops, performances, and posters.

I have been down to the gallery a few times of other classes and I can say that I have enjoyed each of the ones I have seen. Our experience was slightly different than the other exhibits I have seen down in the art gallery, not only because of the artwork being featured, but also because we were able to hold the artwork. I was amazed that we were allowed to hold the artwork in order to examine the pieces. I loved being able to hold the artwork and look for deeper meanings within the picture itself. Overall the Guerrilla girl’s talk was about feminism and how women were left out of the art industry, films (as directors), and politics. The speaker also mentioned that it was even harder for women of color to be represented within these groups.
