In addition to contributing to the barrio authenticity through mise-en-scène, murals serve as a counter-discursive visual narrative to underscore the underlying myths or discourses revealed in this analysis, especially issues of bilingualism and biculturalism which are at the core of Chicano identity. As Fregoso (1993) points out in her analysis of Yo Soy Joaquin, Yo Soy Chicano, and Chicanas, murals have played a key role in both Mexican and Chicano social and political movements and in film. Therefore, from a multimodal and genre perspective, the depiction of murals in the film is both an intertextual reference to previous films in which murals have figured prominently and a subtext about Mexicanidad and Chicano history reflecting social justice issues.
Clifford Roberts It’s also common to have groomsmen do double duty as ushers, leaving their posts in time to process with the rest of the bridal party. They also get to decorate the getaway car and act as a resource for confused guests. Junior Bridesmaids and Junior Groomsmen and Junior Ushers, are young members of the wedding party, aged 9 to 16. They’ll attend all major functions, excluding the bachelorette and bachelor parties, and fulfill the same responsibilities as senior squad members. Junior bridesmaids can wear more age appropriate versions of the bridesmaid dresses, or a style and color dress all their own, and junior groomsmen may sport a tux or suit.
In Tyler Shields 2015 film “Final Girl”, seventeen-year-old trained assassin Veronica, played by Abigail Breslin, is sent on her first mission to kill four teenage boys that have been murdering girls in the woods. Where in a typical slasher setup there is one, typically male, killer murdering a group of teens; in Final Girl there is one female assassin murdering a group of killer boys. The film is set in a modernized version of 1950’s small town America and explores themes of gendered violence and the monstrous masculine. Final Girl desires to posit the villain in society as being capitalist white supremacist patriarchy and the consequences of violence that arise when its entitlement is left unchecked. It is successful in doing this to some

Women of the Medieval Times Women have always had a significant role in history even though they were treated horrible in most cases. During the Medieval Times was really the first time women were allowed to become more than just a house wife. The fight for equality has always been a struggle and even in today’s society is still an ongoing battle. Although women of lower and middle class were treated poorly in the Medieval Times, some powerful women held great responsibility and were looked up too by both men and children; despite being admired, “men were thought to be not only physically stronger but more emotionally stable, more intelligent, and morally less feeble” (Hopkins 5). “The position of women in the Medieval Society was greatly influenced by the views of the Roman Catholic Church” (Heeve).
This part of the wedding is similar to other Christian ceremonies. The groom will be at the altar, the bridesmaids and the groomsmen will walk hand in hand down the aisle then will separate, the bride will be walked down by her father (or a an older male relative if the bride’s father is deceased). The priest will bless the couple (all of the blessing will be done in Armenian) and then the couple will exchange rings. After the wedding ceremony the now married couple will go off accompanied by the groomsmen and bridesmaids for pictures. After the pictures are done it’s off to the
The groom would pick who he was going to marry and the bride couldn’t say no. I know this because of the quote from the princess bride which says “I’ll never love you,I wouldn’t want it if I had it,then by all means let us marry” ( Goldman 90).A different way i know this is because the author of medievaltimes.com states “They didn’t have a choice as to who they would marry” Next way i'm going to be comparing and contrasting the two is by pointing out a similarity between the two. Brides for medieval weddings and the weddings from the princess bride both were and are usually kidnapped by the groom and his friends.
In the 1920s and 30s, men did not treat women with much respect, and men did not allow women to do anything, other than be a housewife. Men took charge of women, and if women did earn any money their husband would take it away from them. Women did not have any rights, and nothing was done to change that for a long time. As women did not have a say, they continued to do as they were told and lacked a voice.
Hey Jordan, I enjoyed reading your post. Something that came to mind to me while reading your post and this weeks materials was what you said about women in the 2000 and beyond. The exact quote from lecture was “Women in the 2000s have been bombarded with so many different requirements of attractiveness. Women should be skinny, but healthy; they should have large breasts and a large butt, but a flat stomach.” An like you said by creating these requirements we are segmenting women.
The American culture constructs the white wedding in a perception that almost reflects a fairytale. Women are expected to wear white gowns signifying purity and men are expected to wear a black tux. Americans exceed their budgets, take out loans, and anything else that will grant them that fairytale wedding which often only occurs once in a lifetime. Ceremonies are held, and a piece of paper known as the marriage license is presented as the women is passed off to the man. Society views weddings as an overall goal and entitlement to security and happiness.
Hello, I’m Heidi. I was born in the year of 2000 and I am a female, I live with both my parents and three younger brothers. I define myself as a Latina because both my parents are from Mexico; growing up I was raised with that culture and perceptive that they had to obey. Most won’t agree with me but genderization has consistently been a factor in society. When we are born we’re separated in categories; It’s a boy, It’s a girl.
Gender roles play an important role in A Raisin in the Sun. During the time A Raisin in the Sun was written the idea of set in stone positions in a household and society were common. Women were supposed to do house jobs, keep their mouths shut, and support their husbands’ decisions and men were seen as the headman or boss.

A Hindu wedding is not only the marriage of two people, but of both families and both of their businesses.

All around the world there are young girls, that are ripped away from their education,to be brides. It starts from the parents decisions to set up the marriage, but the young girls have no choice on it they must always obey. As a result occurs because of cultural practices, poverty and lack of education of both parents and the young. The three most popular areas are Niger, India, and Central African Republic, it continues because these adolescent girls believe they don 't have a voice then begin to feel unimportant. This major issue happens in places all around the world and students and children need help from lawmakers and schools to keep, parents to encourage these kids to stay on the “right path to success.”
