The main setting of the show was Wisteria Lane, a street in the fictional American town of 'Fairview' in the fictional Eagle State. The show followed the lives of a group of women as seen through the eyes of a dead neighbor who committed suicide in the very first episode. The idea for the series was conceived as Marc Cherry and his mother were watching a news report on Andrea Yates. The set for Wisteria Lane, consisting mainly of facades but also of some proper houses, was located on the Universal Studios Hollywood back lot. It was referred to by film crews as Colonial Street, and has been used for several motion pictures and television shows since the mid-1940s. The season begins with introducing
The places in Slade House are strange because they lack consistency. The author, David Mitchell, first introduces the motif immediately when Nathan Bishop and his mother Rita, arrive in Slade Alley. Nathan himself describes the alley as somewhere “a tramp” might live “in a cardboard box” (Mitchell 6). Slade House itself is a strange place because it is an expansive plot of land located in a small alley way. It is not possible that such a place could fit where it is and each of the four protagonists
R.F Briessendens “ A free-talented tongue: some notes on the poetry of Gwen Harwood” can be found in the “Poetry Criticisms” volume 160 in which the latter provides multiple interpretations , from academics and poets, of the Gwen Harwood’s poem “In the park”. Most notable is the interpretation of the former poem by the esteemed poet and academician Andrew Taylor. In specific terms, Andrew Taylor serves to discuss Gwen’s transition from the life a poet to that of a woman without an identity. Essentially, Taylor’s interpretation of the former poem informs other literary academics, or even layman readers, of the destructive nature of which motherhood can be derived from . Taylors interpretation is significant as it relates to the overall topic of motherhood. Thus, it would be imperative to use Taylors succinct, well developed in depth discussion of Gwen Harwood’s “In the park” for my own literary research essay on Harwood’s treatment of motherhood.
“Orange Is the New Black” is a modern memoir that leads you through Piper Kerman’s experiences in Danbury, a women’s correctional facility, and shows you the life within the cold walls. Her words magnify the greatness within everybody, even the ones who have been thought to not even contain a heart, not even a soul within their body. The people who have been encaged, locked up behind bars. “The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness” by Michelle Alexander is an extraordinarily-written modern book, completely opposite of Piper Kerman’s memoir. It shows the challenges that most of the colored and Latino men face once they are framed as a criminal, as well as the stereotypical treatment they receive as human beings. While Piper Kerman’s book shows the happiness and good in all the different types of people, gay, black, white, straight, transgender, Latino, Buddhist, Catholic, or a stone cold killer, Michelle Alexander points out the fact that African Americans are being treated the way they used to, being looked at no differently than slaves.

Both films are unique in their own ways but go hand in hand presenting specific perspectives on race and social status from the beginning of history through today.

In todays modern society, there is now a constant growing concern about adolescent’s exposure to the medias portrayal of sexuality and love. The publicity of love and sex that todays adolescents are saturated in is mainly unrealistic and false, theoretically affecting and distorting their, behavior, beliefs and attitude towards sex and love. These impractical pictures tend to commonly be publicized through social media, networking, television and movies. The medias views tend to contradict the biblical messages towards love and sex, confusing young society on the meaning of true commitment and love. A popular television show targeted to the demographic of female teenagers ‘Gossip Girl’ features and emphasizes the wrong messages concerning love and sex.
The SIOP model is effective because it allows educators to put the practices they know to better use. It consists of eight components (as seen above) which I and most educators have been introduced, practiced, or seen before.The first component of the SIOP model is preparation which involves creating lessons, language/content objectives, and including any adaptations needed. By allowing educators to plan ahead and think about the objectives and adaptations of a lesson, students are more likely to succeed because the lessons and well planned out before the delivery of the lesson. According to Echevarria (2017), in SIOP lessons, "language and content objectives are systematically woven into the curriculum of one particular subject area"(p.20).
“Masc for masc” (masculine looking for masculine) and “straight acting” (not being seen as a stereotype and being able to be excepted by heterosexual men) are terms used by Gay men to classify the type of man they are looking for in a partner; actively rejecting and devaluing femininity and upholding the hegemonic view of masculinity. Therefor I am researching the “how do gay and straight Latinos construct their masculinity?” Straight men deem anything feminine as less than, thus gay men are ousted. This ousting of gay men is a byproduct of heterosexism in which a men only date women and vice versa, thus gay men are seen as effeminate for the sole reason of dating other men. In an attempt to reclaim their lost masculinity gay men are rejecting effeminate men in an attempt to be seen as “one of the good gays”. The traits of reclaiming what gay Latinos feel is lost is strongly tied to femiphobia, internalized homophobia, and toxic masculinity. Gay men want to be seen as “normal” and “just one of the guys” at the cost of their fellow gay men’s humanity and manhood. They want to be seen as the “good gay” which I define as a gay man that wants to be removed from the stereotype and behaves and present as “straight” I want to investigate how gay Latinos specifically construct their masculinity and if they are contracting it based on their straight counterparts. It is important to distinguish how important masculinity is to Latin men specifically gay Latinos and see if a
“There are always stereotypes in high school. People are placed into groups. You’re a jock, you’re a cheerleader, you’re a freak, you’re into the drama department. I had a lot of trouble fitting into those groups when I was in high school because I wanted to be a part of all of them. One Tree Hill represents people who are multidimensional and who like more than one thing.” Hilarie Burton, who plays Peyton Sawyer, says it perfectly herself. One Tree Hill shows diversity among all. The use of every “stereotype” is used in this series to allow every viewer feel as though they have a place, making the show significant for young adult viewers especially. The main characters in the show are all friends, yet they all have different interests. Despite the drama, relatable for any high school viewer. While other shows place teens into certain stereotypical groups, One Tree Hill does just the opposite by allowing everyone to be themselves. Dissimilar from most shows on television and stereotypes of high school, One Tree Hill does a substantial work of portraying the diversity of all people by bringing all together.
