Artemis is forced to re-connect with an old foe and partner, while Bizzaro is practicing his skills as a hero, something he isn't well known for, and Jason is challenged by his past. Each hero is struggling to deal with their (to have it lightly put) baggage. Scott Lobdell has done a beautiful job writing these characters. Displacement is a common theme between the three, whether displaced from family or society. Even though we're still at the character development stages, the writing keeps you on the edge with every issue. I'll start with each narrative.
Artemis is on her quest to find the Bow of Ra, but she's finding herself back with her friend/foe, and Amazonian sister, Akila. I still question their relationship...I mean, they've got to be more than friends?

There is no confirmation of Artemis' sexuality yet, although Akila's love surpasses friendship; "This is about more than us." Although team members can use words to unite each other (e.i. in Trinity's series, Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman say "us", but not like this), Lobdell's choice of expression is really interesting with these two.
"Artemis, my love. You have returned to me. And nothing will keep us apart ever again."
Okay, I've got to voice this, people shouldn't label them as just friends. Artemis surrenders her ego in front of Akila, and thus begin their mission to stand side by side.
Bizzaro's story doesn't fill up many pages, but Lobdell is brilliant with developing his character without the ability to have his thoughts and emotions studied. Bizzaro leads the citizens through Qurac smashing a pathway through mountains. Each action is genuine and has a heroic moment. I appreciate a hero coded with learning disabilities characterized like this, as oppose to earlier versions of
Artemis’ informative speech to Hippolytus not only displays the dramatic irony present throughout the play, but also solidifies many predominant themes present during the play. This passage summarizes the entire play as Artemis describes the plans of the characters, going on to blame Phaedra, the Nurse, Aphrodite, and Theseus. (Halleran, 276) Through Artemis’ passage (Euripides, 1283-1312), the truth about Phaedra and Hippolytus, unknown and misunderstood by Theseus, finally surfaces. As Artemis reveals the plot to Theseus in the passage, the themes of honour and relationship between man and god are evident. Hippolytus’ relationship with the goddesses Artemis and Aphrodite, along with his honour and pride, are
The book is written from the point of view of various heroes by using different characters’ personal experiences and descriptive emotions before and during the tragic war. This has allowed the reader to grasp the situation through the eyes of those who has experienced it. Shaara describes

Throughout her adventure, she illustrates many characteristics associated with the typical “hero,” much like enduring separation and hardships along the way.
Throughout the book, the author points out the lives of characters and what obstacles they go through which leads them to choose a different style of life by running away, giving up their
Homer’s The Odyssey tells the story of young Telemachus with the task of finding his father, Odysseus while also finding himself. As the hero of this journey, Telemachus develops into a noble, brave, and strong man, through complications inflicted by others’ mental endurance. By overcoming these obstacles Telemachus develops into the universally known stereotypical hero. However, the same cannot be said for the heroes of William Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying and Lewis Carol’s Alice in Wonderland. At the end of their journeys, Jewel and Alice become different kinds of heroes; instead of becoming a stereotypical plucky adventurer, they each develop different traits to benefit themselves along their journey.
What are the characters’ emotions, attitudes, and behaviors? What do these indicate to the reader about the character?
However, since the hero is part of society, the journey is also one of personal development. On a more psychological level, one could suggest that the hero’s quest is symbolic of all personal conflict. Conflict begins when a problem arises that must be dealt with. Most people, at first, refuse to come to terms with whatever this problem may be, and attempt to ignore it. With enough mental determination and/or aid from an outside source, however, one can bring themselves to cross the first threshold, and begin their journey into the heart of the problem. For example, victims of rape or other types of abuse must face what is haunting them in order for it to be exorcised properly.
• What are the ways in which each major character experiences conflict (either with self, with other characters, or with the social and/or physical environment)?
To conclude, these are the four loneliest characters in the novel. They all have similarities in terms of dreams and loneliness however in the story the characters do not notice this but the reader almost classifies these characters as an outsiders group. Their characters show how having big dreams and high aspirations can make you lonelier. We can also see how the views of society affect loneliness such as the acceptance of racism and sexism in this time period as well as the fact that every man was for himself so there
To completely understand the current issues surrounding the direction of the juvenile justice system is easy to obtain when one focuses on how the juvenile justice system has changed since its inception. The United States wanted to reform its policies for dealing with juveniles that enter the justice system, so in the late 1800’s was the beginning of a number of reforms. Several reforms focused on protecting the rights of youth, such as through “due process of law”. The United States has shifted from their original intent and purpose for the juvenile justice system to a system more comparable to the adult justice system.
Judy Chicago is an American feminist artist who is best known for her artworks which explore the domestic role of women throughout history and culture. The Dinner Party by Judy Chicago is an integral artwork to the feminist art movement, and shifting the preconceived notion about what women can and cannot do. The installation is made up of a large scale banquet table. The table is set for 39 inspirational women from throughout history and mythology. The artwork is peppered with butterfly and vulva symbolism to represent mother nature, the vagina and the uncontested importance of the life giving properties of women.
As a whole, these characters have relevance today because each of these characters individually can be realistically portrayed and believed. These are situations that anyone could be in and the way that they actually challenge the positions they are put in is what helps us to continue to break down gender boundaries shown here still today.
The Iliad and The Odyssey are tales written by Homer centered on the drama of the Trojan War. First poem deals with the time during the end of the war, while the latter, which occurs roughly ten years later, explains the disastrous journey of Odysseus fighting his way back home. The character of women in the Odyssey is to exhibit the many and diverse roles that women play in the lives of men. These functions vary from characters such as the goddess ' that help them to the nymphs who trick them. Women in the Iliad exhibit their significance in the lives of the ancient Greeks because they are so prominent in a world so dominated with military relations.
