Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane

refusal to acknowledge her as a human being. Since society thinks she is “ugly”, no one needs to care for or love her. For example, one of the biggest insults that her peers use for teasing boys is using Pecola as the insult. She also knew that when one of the girls at school wanted to be particularly insulting to a boy, or wanted to get immediate response from a boy, she could say 'Bobby loves Pecola Breedlove' (Pg. 34). Think about that schoolyard tactic for one second; instead of being called a

attraction that Pecola feels towards the flowers derives from the attitude they seem to display – bright and happy despite their low status in the flora hierarchy. She identifies a certain threatening aspect of them when she supposes that “Nobody loves the head of a dandelion… because they are so many, strong, and soon” (pg. 47). There is a resilience and perhaps a defiance in these weeds that people, according to Pecola, sense and therefore try to eradicate from their yards. Here she brings up another

Pecola, feasts on a ‘Mary Jane’ candy. “She remembers the Mary Janes. Each pale yellow rapper has a picture on it. A picture of little Mary Jane, for whom the candy is named. Smiling white face. Blonde hair in gentle disarray, blue eyes looking at her out of a world of clean comfort. The eyes are petulant, mischievous. To Pecola they are simply pretty. She eats the candy, and its sweetness is good. To eat the candy is somehow to eat the eyes, eat Mary Jane. Love Mary Jane. Be Mary Jane,” (Morrison, 50)

“The Breedloves did not live in a storefront because they were having temporary difficulty adjusting to the cutbacks at the plant. They lived there because they were poor and black, and they stayed there because they believed they were ugly” (Morrison, 1998, p. 38). This is the general feeling of many of the characters throughout the book. A big reason for these feelings derives from the term Whiteness. The qualities associated with this term include: beauty, innocence, goodness, cleanliness, and

Term 1 drama There are many examples of relationship tension in the film spider man. I am going to state some of these starting with the first example which is in the first couple of scenes when Peter Parker is chasing the bus and everyone inside of it is laughing at him including the bus driver. This scene shows task tension because it shows that peter is trying to catch the bus and if he doesn't make it, the outcome will be that he will miss the excursion, this is relationship tension because

The Power of Stories The Bluest Eye is crafted in a unique way from most other novels. The plot encompasses different points of view from many characters, as well as a collection of various stories. These stories are essential to the overall message of the novel and each one portrays a strong purpose. Morrison uses the stories to express some real world problems that can be extremely destructive, like racism and the stereotype of beauty. These issues can be held accountable for many of the devastating

spacing to show how Pecola’s rape is due to society when the author starts the book off with the “Dick and Jane” book. In the 1940’s the children's book “Dick and Jane” had placed the white man’s lifestyle on society, showing how a “perfect” life should be with your family. While including “Dick and Jane” in her novel, she would use a lack of spacing and “Caps” to mock the book. “Dick and Jane” described their house as “greenandwhiteithasareddooritisveryprettyhereisthefamilymother…” and so on. Morrison

Beauty is not always skin deep. Although many first impressions are based off of appearance, what really counts is what is on the inside. In The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison influences from propaganda and other people affect the confidence of the characters. The people of color during this time long to be just as accepted as the white people. Racism and discrimination are still apparent during this time and crushes the confidence of the African American youth. A common misconception is that beauty

overcome obstacles that the character may face. In Spider-Man, Peter Parker is forced to overcome these impediments so that he can help protect the people in his city. The task that first illustrates this quest is Spider-Man’s revenge on the man who killed his uncle and committed robbery. To catch this criminal, though, Spider-Man has to learn how to use his mind: thinking quickly and on-the-spot. Not only does it take courage for Spider-Man to defeat this criminal, it takes quick reflexes that

Spider-man In the movie Spider-Man, the hero Peter Parker has a love for Mary Jane, this indicates that we as humans tend to save the ones we love no matter the cost. This was shown throughout the movie on many occasions as Peter saved Mary Jane's life while being a hero and also saving the ones around him. In the beginning of the story, before Peter was ever Spider-Man he loved Mary Jane and cared for her, and once he became Spider-Man he saved her life from danger many times. Every single
