Summary Of ' Rocky 's Tale '

A particular incident led to the crucial point of finally recognizing what was happening to me. Not only recognizing but it was the first time I felt scared

Another critical moment in my life that changed me forever occurred in August of 2001. At the peak of hurricane season, Louisiana was terribly affected by Hurricane Katrina. Katrina devastated millions of people across the south. For the first time in my life I got to experience what it felt like to be homeless. I had lost everything! And even though it was not much, it still mattered. There were several moments when I prayed and wished that my father could be there. No child, my age should have to go through with what I did. In hopes to find assistance, my mother left me and my siblings with my grandmother for a few months. These months were terrifying. I remember crying several nights

When I was about five years old I had something happen to me that would change forever. My life before this was not the best and was really confusing to understand and that was because I was always moving into different houses with my mom and would always have a new dad which as a little kid you don’t really know what is going on and have to just deal with it. My mother was not the best and did not take really good care of me.

I fix a tiny strand of hair that is separated from the rest and look at myself in the mirror. Tonight is my night. I twirl in my rosy pink dress like a goof when I hear the doorbell ring. “Mom can you get that.” I shout from behind my bedroom door. I hear my mom say, “Oh my you look so handsome.”

Tracey my neighbor said “Come and do your laundry at my house”, my mom replied ‘sure’. I was touched by the generosity but failed to understand why the houses on the opposite side of my house had power and we were still without power even after ten days. Mr. Mike, called me and said “come in and cool down, take some cold lemonade”. I replied happily “Ok!”. He even wanted us to come sleep in their house as we had no power.

Something so close to me could never leave my sight, alas such an event did occur.

Finally, as if in an instance something sparked in my brain, I realized that the change I had hoped for in my family finally came. I was just too blind by the depression that followed the divorce that it took my helpless

One blizzardy night in March at St. Mary's hospital there was a new family. At around 6:00 in the morning I, Robert Joseph Powers 3 was born. When my parents knew that it was time to go to the hospital they were playing poker with a couple of my uncles and aunts. All the sudden my mom knew and she got up told my dad and they were off. That day it was extremely bad outside because all day there was a blizzard, but luckily my parents made it to St. Mary hospital safe.

In the film Rocky Horror Picture Show, the character Dr. Frank-N-Furter sings the words, “So I’ll remove the cause, but not the symptom” (O’Brien) . This cult classic musical written by Richard O’Brien follows a newly engaged couple through a sexual journey as they lose their innocence and start to conform to traditional gender stereotypes. Today youth of America are being bombarded with conflicting ideas about gender, race and sex. These conflicting ideas can lead to skewed visions on what defines masculinity and what defines femininity. Furthermore, sexual assault on college campuses by men and particularly student athletes have come to the forefront of many news headlines in recent years and while some believe that sexual assault stems from “locker room culture”, it stems from a skewed sense of masculinity that has been created over years of consuming media. Many try to educate these same men on what defines consent and how to properly act in sexual situations, but this is merely trying put a temporary solution on a much larger issue. If people wanted the systemic issue of sexual assault to be reduced, then the root cause must be removed. A twisted systemic view of masculinity is the root cause of many sexual assaults because a twisted view of masculinity causes unhealthy understanding of sexuality and consent as seen in college.
