Red Queen Appearance Vs Reality

I read Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. The book is about a girl named Mare Borrow and she lives in a world where everyone is divided by blood. You are either a silver or red, the difference between them are silvers have special powers, but reds don’t. Except for Mare, she is a red with powers and that never happens while reading you get to see how her life drastically changes when she finds out about her special gift. Mare was in a life or death situation when her powers saved her. In that moment she thought, “Everything is wrong. I am alive.” (Aveyard 71). This was the start when her life turned completely upside down. From then on no one could know that she was a red with powers so she was taken in by the royal silver family and had to pretend

“I see a world on the edge of a blade. Without balance, it will fall” (Aveyard 151). In the novel Red Queen, Mare Barrow lives in a world divided by blood. There is a dangerous rift between the red-blooded peasants and the silver-blooded elite, who rule the world with their unfathomable powers. Mare has grown up a worthless red, no more than a common thief. Even though red blood pumps through her veins, Mare soon finds herself with powers greater than any silver’s. Now, she is forced to repair the broken world-at-war she lives in. In the book, it is easy to visualize Mare’s new surroundings, predict the consequences of her choices, and evaluate certain significant events.

To begin, it is important to understand that wrestling is above and beyond a spectacle as described by Roland Barthes. Wrestling is an investment in one’s self. It is an accumulation of countless hours spent on the wrestling mat, in the gym, and in the studio. It is a display of hegemonic masculinity to its highest degree, wrestlers understand this. Professional Wrestlers understand that the nature of the sport is tough, unforgiving, and requires a superhero attitude. The common goals shared amongst the wrestling culture have a distinct impact on how wrestlers identify themselves to society. Socially, wrestling has not been analyzed as closely as it should be. Subconsciously, individuals who attend or express an interest in professional

“They don’t tax themselves with thought of money or career or of right versus wrong. They are bound by no sense of time beyond this heartbeat—no past, no future; there are no meetings to attend or dates to uphold, only this one which is happening now,thus receiving full attention from the little being.” These traits have been admired through the sports 3,000 year-old history. Blood being a foreigner and a woman taking part in a male dominated sport was seen as very taboo. Although she was very unbiased throughout her experience and was able to give the reader a perspective not clouded by hate and disgust. Reading on what a cock fight is like through the perspective of a woman gives the reader insight on what it is really like because for men it is just another sport. Placing foreigner in this position gave the reader better insight and understanding on how it is connected to masculinity and

Since its creation in 1980, World Wrestling Entertainment has been determined to shine a spotlight on the sport of professional wrestling. Delivering up to eight hours of weekly programing and their own subscription-based online library, consumers are able to receive as much content as they please. Although the WWE product as a whole is immensely popular, it does not go without fault. While other professional sports have succeeded in showcasing all genders and races in a positive light, the same can not always be said about WWE. What separates the WWE from other professional sports in a negative manner is the constant use of racial stereotypes, depiction of women in a degrading fashion, and mediocre storytelling.

Surroundings are a big part of what shapes someone's traits. In the novel the protagonist Mare is faced with difficult life changing obstacles. In Red Queen, Victoria Aveyard uses the cultural and physical surroundings to shape the psychological traits in Mare as she tries to survive the twisted society of the Reds and Silvers.

In the story, When the Legends Die, author Hal Borland symbolizes red throughout the story and at least once within each four sections.

“The truth is what I make it, I could set this world on fire and call it rain.” - Red Queen. Mare Barrow lives in a world divided by blood, the reds and the silvers, the silvers are better than all of the reds and all the reds are good for is fighting in war, all until Mare Barrow. Mare’s brothers have all gone off to war and her best friend Kilron is going to as soon as he turns 18, but Mare, being as stubborn as always, decides to do something about it. This suspenseful book is a page turner as something happens to Mare that doesn’t just change Mare, but the entire world of reds and silvers. Red Queen isn't just reds and silvers but it portrays a whole message about segregation in the real world as well. The reds are treated differently just because the color of their blood and the silvers are treated like royalty because of their blood color and they all have amazing powers, for example, there is strong arm, a super strong person. There is a nymph, someone who controls water, and many more. This is similar to segregation between sexes or races and throughout the whole book, protests are occurring between bloods for equality.

The book that I read for the truman report was Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. This book is about Mare Barrow and her family who are reds that serve the sliver elite. The silvers have supernatural abilities that make them nearly gods. Mare does what she can to help out her family until her 18th birthday when she gets set way to the war where her brothers have been sent in the past years. In a twist of fate she gets sent to the castle where she discovers her own power, but her blood is red. To keep the secret the king forces her into the role of a lost silver princess and betroths her to his son. As Mare is living the silver world she finds herself helping the Scarlet Guard, the leaders of the red rebellion. Every action

Now in 2018 it is obvious that the women of WWE are still sexualized and gazed but there is much more respect for the wrestler’s athleticism. The first step the WWE took in showing some respect to the women werestlers was when the women were no longer called Divas but instead Women Superstars (like the men WWE Superstars) and fought in the Women’s Division. Second, 2017 was the year the WWE’s Women’s Division had its first Royal Rumble. The Royal Rumble is a pay-per view event in the spring where up to 30 wrestlers enter the ring, one at a time every 5 minutes and the last superstar in the ring wins. This was a huge accomplishment for the women’s division, in 2017 WWE Raw, had a much larger roster of women on the main rosters. Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon scheduled the first-ever women's Royal Rumble match for the 2018 Royal Rumble, with the winner receiving a match at WrestleMania 34 for the top championship of their choice: Raw's Women's Championship or SmackDown's Women's Championship. These title matches and championships were and are nothing like those like Fuzzy Dice match or Bra and Panty matches. Matches now are very physical and acrobatic on the same level as the men wrestlers. Though there has been a lot of progress in recent years the 2018 WrestleMania event was very disappointing. Disappointing in that the final match or main event was between two male wrestlers, a match that only lasted 10 minutes and the stakes were much lower compared to the SmackDown's Women's Championship. The SmackDown's Women's Championship match between Asuka’s who holds the longest winning streak of 914 days until she lost to Charlette Flair at WrestleMania

In the Red Queen most silvers are born with their powers ,which later mature. In chapter seven a queens trial is held. This event is for princesses from all over come to show of their abilities to become princess. During one of the demonstrations Mare ,one of the servants, finds her self rising on this piece of land. It rises eventually making her touch the forcefield above which in term shocked her. A normal human would most likely die from the electrocution. Mare’s power show for the first time making it so that she can control electricity.

Being a female wrestler is nothing less than a perfect way to prove yourself. The take downs, break downs, and controlling pins made her feel overpowering. Wrestling boys, and girls gave her a challenge even though she failed every time she still got to

The book Red Queen was written by 24-year old Victoria Aveyard. Red Queen is the first book in the trilogy and has about 300-400 pages. This book was published on Feburary 10, 2015 by Harper Teen. Red Queen is a book of science fiction and fantasy. This book takes place in a world where people are divided by blood, Reds and Silvers. Silvers have powers and live in luxury, while Reds are the complete opposites. Reds live in poverty with no powers and serve the Silvers.

One day she unexpectedly meets the Silver Prince, Cal. As they were talking, she reveals

Although wrestling is a little bit confusing for me at first, someone have me an opportunity to dig a little bit deeper about wrestling. Having a friend that is part of a wrestling team, it opened me a door to watch wrestling tryouts and practices. It made me excited and nervous at the same time. I was excited because I could watch live wrestling practice but nervous because I did not know what to expect being in the same room as the wrestlers. Being in the room where I can actually see the wrestlers face to face is totally different than watching them on screens. It was tougher and more intense. I can see the determination in their faces they have just to be part of them team. They were like lions that is ready to attack whoever came near

     Wrestling made me feel more alive than I ever had before. Sure, the sport is a little strange. From the bleachers, it looks like a sweaty battle between two spandex-clad farmers with space age earmuffs. When I'm on the mat across from someone —locking eyes and preparing to fight until one of us is exhausted, immobilized or incapacitated—
