In the 21st century, despite many years of progress, gender inequity still exists in sports, with male athletes dominating their female counterparts in aspects such as pay, endorsements, media coverage and participation. Indeed, of the 100 highest paid athletes in the world in 2015, the top 20 were all males, and none were from any of the so called ‘female’ sports [1].

I believe Jimmy Connors best embodied my attitude toward failure in his iconic quote, “I hate to lose more than I love to win.” As someone who has actively participated in sports all throughout high school, as well as serving captain of the varsity football team this senior year, I am no stranger to Failure. As time goes on I have noticed the losses tend to stick more than the wins. I believe this is because of all the ‘what if’s that accompany failure. What if I had been a little bit faster? What if we didn’t drop that pass? What if we stopped that play? No matter the team, no matter how hard we played, every loss always left me with these same questions times 1000. However, no loss was more impactful than this year’s Thanksgiving day game

Sveistrup’s creation of Sarah Lund is in this dissertation considered to be a revised, postfeminist, noir heroine. Lund seems to have also evolved after British TV heroines in a way where she does not seem to experience the same glass ceiling that for example Tennison in Prime Suspect had to battle with. When she enters a room filled with men, she does not stand out as delicate or vulnerable, as a woman in a ‘man’s world,’ but rather blends in with her masculine body language and unsmiling face. It is noticeable, especially in Sarah Lund’s case, that most of her colleagues are in fact men, reminding that the police force is still predominantly male. The first episode of season one of The Killing presents some reminiscent shots where Lund’s

“I’d never given much thought to how I would die, but dying in the place of someone I love seems like a good way to go.” Those are the famous words that started it all, The Twilight Saga Phenomenon. The Twilight Saga consists of four novels: Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn. Stephanie Meyer, author of the popular saga, majored in English literature at Brigham Young University. After graduating in 1997, Meyer chose to be a stay-at-home mother to her three sons. The concept of the whole saga came to her in a dream one night.
