    Viewed by Some New England Magistrates in 1649" is strict. American Indians see things differently, long hair gives them power, strength, and is a symbol of masculinity. In The Old Testament of The Holy Bible, Samson's hair was his strength and when Delilah, his lover or whatever she was, cut it he lost all his strength. American Indian long hair can be looked at in the same way because their hair gives them strength and power and once a big shift in their life occurs, such as the death of a loved one

    But no wonder if a fool should fall for a female and be wiped of his wits by a womanly guile—it’s the way of the world. Adam fell for a woman and Solomon for several, and as for Samson, Delilah was his downfall, and afterwards David was bamboozled by Bathsheba and bore the grief. All wrecked and ruined by their wrongs; if only we could love our ladies without believing their lies. And those were fellows from fortunate families, excellent

    She then passed it on to his enemies and found a new husband. Samson slaughtered 1,000 men with an ass's jawbone, then prayed for God to quench his thirst. Out of no where, a well sprouted from the jawbone's tooth. If it weren't for him telling Delilah his strength came from him being too stubborn to cut his hair, he would have taken over the world.

    A close reading of the Sir Gawain and the Green Knight reveals a very antifeminist view. The poem, told in four parts, tells of common medieval folklore. The stories seem to be of different plotlines, but start to intersect in interesting ways – that is, the character of Morgan Le Fay begins to frame the stories together. The half-sister of King Arthur, she holds intense hatred for her half-brother and his court. It is her thirst for the downfall of Camelot that makes this character infamous, and

    Music and Literature On an everyday basis the world around us offers us a great deal of information and variety, of enlightening art and the dumbing down entertainment. Many people have fallen into the trap of dismissing anything that is not considered fine art as culturally and intellectually inferior.

    A Hero’s Journey The hero’s journey can be found in ancient stories from thousands of years ago as well as present-day stories that may hit the big screen. The hero experiences a chain of events that gives he or she, typically a male, a title of “the hero”. The hero's journey begins with either an inner longing to go on a quest, or an exterior call that requires the hero’s help outside of the ordinary world.

    Little Bill’s comment during the interrogation of those guilty of the abuse towards Delilah is ironic, ‘well I aint gonna hurt no woman’ as though he doesn’t harm the women, he has still hurt them as the offenders were not punished justly for their crime, which is insulting towards the women. The Kid comes to Munny for help and labels the
