Ronda Rousey: The Character Of Captain Marvel

Maxine Hong Kingston's novel, The Woman Warrior is a semi-autobiographical collection of short stories that chronicles her childhood in California. It gives the reader a feeling of how it feels like to be a Chinese American girl growing up with traditional parents in a world that is quite different from theirs. Throughout the novel, both she and her mother refer to the outside world as "ghosts." The subtitle given to the book is Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts. To figure out the meaning behind this subtitle, one has to try to see what

In The Woman Warrior, Maxine Hong Kingston makes her narration compelling and relatable to the audience through her unique style of storytelling. The ever-present changes in perspective lead one to see how each event eventually affects Kingston. Her comparison of her life to that of Fa Mu Lan brings out the difficulties in her living in America while her mother had grown up in China. This hero myth allows her to connect to those values that Brave Orchid holds which make her so hard on her daughter. The telling of Brave orchid’s talk-stories in first person makes their events more relatable to Kingston, which makes the 4th chapter’s telling in the third person all the more jarring and thought-provoking. All in all, Kingston’s writing style in this novel serves to make it evoke a powerful sense of relatability and understanding of her plight.

Maxine Hong Kingston’s “The Woman Warrior” is novel composed of myths and memoirs that have shaped her life. Her mother’s talk-stories about her no name aunt, her own interpretation of Fa Mu Lan, the stories of ghosts in doom rooms and American culture have been the basis of her learning. She learned morals, truths, and principals that would be the basis of her individuality.

All throughout my childhood, I had an extreme fascination with heroes, especially superheroes. Despite my complete distain of spiders, I wanted to shoot webs from my wrists and swing around the town all day long like Spider-Man. After the release of the Iron Man movie, I wanted nothing more than to be clever enough to build a full metal suit. Now that I am older, it is incredibly hard for me to decide which I would rather be. Both ended up in epic battles - like Spider-Man and the Sandman, and Iron Man (and the rest of the Avengers) against a whole fleet of an alien army. Although either of their lives are desirable, several of their attributes, such as their identities, their powers, how they acquired them, and their personalities

When I was 5, I was declared a genius. I flew planes from coast to coast, had a modeling contract, and my own clothing line by the time I was 13. I Graduated with a 4.0 and a degree in Athletic Science from the University of South Carolina. When I wasn’t the Trainer for the Iowa Hawkeyes, I was on the road with Criss Angel doing magic shows up and down the East Coast.

“We see the attack through the eyes of the victims, who spread the word that the Vikings were bloody and violent. In fact, they were violent, but no more than anyone else at the time. Compared to Charlemagne’s armies, the Vikings were amateurs. The Vikings were actually just looking for better places to live and preferred not to kill or be killed for it. ”

The past decade has brought blockbuster movies and crazy stories from the giant franchise that is Marvel. Most people around the world have heard of the company, but where did their company originate, and who is responsible for their massive success? Marvel Comics, more commonly known to the public as Marvel, originates in New York City, New York. Here, great stories, ideologies, and characters are born. Characters that may seem impossible to relate become easily identifiable to readers new and old since 1944. New York, located in the northeastern part of the United States and known as the Empire State, is home to the revered comic book creator Stan Lee who created many beloved and iconic superheroes and giving them superhuman abilities, while

“The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts”, by Maxine Hong Kingston is a nonfiction book about finding one's voice. Throughout the book, there are plenty of remarks to emotional and physical conflict. Kingston supplies individualized identities for these silent women.

In The Woman Warrior, Maxine Hong Kingston crafts a fictitious memoir of her girlhood among ghosts. The book’s classification as a memoir incited significant debate, and the authenticity of her representation of Chinese American culture was contested by Asian American scholars and authors. The Woman Warrior is ingenuitive in its manipulation of the autobiographical genre. Kingston integrates the value of storytelling in her memoir and relates it to dominant themes about silence, cultural authenticity, and the cultivation of identity. Throughout her work, Kingston reaches a variety of conclusions about the stories her mother told her by writing interpretations of her mother, Brave Orchid’s, “talk-story”. Brave Orchid’s talk-story is a form

Growing up with Stiles Stilinski as a best friend teaches you a lot. How to successfully pull off a prank call, not to steal weed from a guy who has six goats living in his backyard, how to get yourself out of handcuffs, every reason Captain America is by far the worst avenger and most importantly, how to spot a dumbass idea from a mile away. This, was a dumbass idea. For once, Scott McCall had gotten his best friend and his boyfriend to agree on something (besides the fact that they hate each other). Any other day, he’d be glad that Stiles had gone fifteen minutes without threatening to ram a lacrosse stick up Jackson’s ass. But of course, the one time they actually agreed on something, Scott’s ass was on the line.

As I have mentioned earlier, Furiosa is the leading character in the film. What sets her aside from other female leads in movies is the fact that she basically does everything. She runs away from their current world with five other pregnant women, she barely ever misses a target when it comes to shooting, and she devises all of the plans they have used. With her calling all of the shots, she successfully changed the lives for four out of five women, defeated the malicious enemy, and changed the course of their dystopian world. Her portrayal makes women seem powerful, smart, and resourceful. When you have to compare Furiosa to other females in action movies, the appear to lack in significance. In the Avengers, there is only a small amount of women superheroes. Black Widow is probably one of the biggest female superheroes in the Avengers movie series. She can kick butt and gain information more easily compared to her other male superhero colleagues. However, when it comes down to it, there are several elements that feminists are not happy about with this character. One, you know very little about the character or her past and two, she has yet to have a seriously big part in the movies. Unlike Avengers, in Mad Max, Furiosa is successfully able to run away with five other women while literally single handedly defeating the enemy that tried to stop her.

I wouldn’t be surprised if women, or honestly, everyone, chose Hermione Granger from Harry Potter as the one character they would be. She is one of the best female characters of all time. Not only is she a feminist, a genius, and a hero, but she also is a powerful witch at Hogwarts!

Bellatrix, the Female Warrior, the Amazon Star, is from the translation, rather freely made in the Alfonsine Tables, of its Arabic title, Al Najid, the Conqueror.

By being a femme seule and being a mistress, although Roxana hates having to be a mistress because she considers it immoral, Roxana was sexually liberated and had a job. Roxana had control over both her body and finances once she was no longer married or indebted, as society saw it, to a man. These two facts alone lead me to believe that Roxana can and should be considered an eighteenth-century feminist icon even though I believe she would have chosen a different vocation if she had had the opportunity. In the article titled, “"I wou'd be a Man-Woman'': Roxana's Amazonian Threat to the Ideology of Marriage,” author Shawn Lisa Maurer writes, “Despite her powerful arguments for female liberty, Roxana does not begin the novel as a fierce and independent woman. […] Roxana is an Amazon made rather than born. Not an inherent or inherited disposition but rather the harrowing events of her early life—a bad marriage, with subsequent bankruptcy and desertion— have propelled her” (Maurer, 367). Roxana became a mistress due to circumstances beyond her control, and furthermore, as Christina L. Healey points out in her article titled, “‘A perfect Retreat indeed’: Speculation, Surveillance, and Space in Defoe’s Roxana,” “The novel’s focus on domestic spaces and figures—women who become the victims of bad business deals and who cope with their victimization by transforming themselves into ‘women of business’—links the nation’s economic conditions and concerns with domestic instability.

In 1976 Maxine Hong Kingston won the National Book Critics Circle Award for the best work of non-fiction for her book The Woman Warrior: Memories of a Girlhood among Ghosts, a novel built up from a collection of stories that draw on from Chinese folklore and myth intertwined with her own life’s experiences and episodes from her and other female family members’ life. While labelled as an autobiography, American readers enthusiastically welcomed it as work of fiction that deals with the exotic, mysterious and unfathomable China. This illustrates the why and wherefores of the many readings that this work has originated since its publication. The lack of adherence to one genre, especially autobiography, presents one of the central issues of how
