Thelma and Louise, released in 1991, was a female buddy motion picture which marked the evolution from a traditionally male genre to the appearance of female road movies, presenting women as the only protagonists. Casting Susan Sarandon as Louise and Geena Davis as Thelma, the movie not only became a commercial success, it also sparked criticism on its stereotypical portrayal of women and men and discussion on feminism embedded in the film. While some has been long stated that Thelma and Louise is

Female characters propagate sex-positivity through their sexualization, and utilize it as a tool of shaping solidarity by eradicating the double standard concerned with male and female bodies (Pratl, 2009). Axel Alonso’s (2014) previous comments on the impossibility of “not sexualizing comic characters” are affirmed, as he mentions that not only physical ability and appearance take part in defining a character, but sex appeal as well. The argument that sexualizing female comic characters only leads

A fetish, as categorized by Sigmund Freud in his article “Fetish,” develops after a young boy realizes the genital differences of the sexes—that women lack a penis (Freud, 153).

How people don't care to think about themselves but only the wellness and needs of others. This is something I strive to do every day for it is what makes a better person and a better tomorrow for everyone. What is life when there is no one there to help?

cataclysms that seemed to chase them, they learned to survive in more meaningful ways and slowly did they know that the world is changing and that they have the ability to adapt to it and not just hide away from it. From Guy, who first aimed of going to “Tomorrow,”1 the dream was passed on to the teenage daughter Eep. It was Eep, who passed it on to her family.2 One by one, they held on to that belief that beyond their cave lies a more prosperous home that they could live in. While it took them one full

the kinds of obstacles society provides; however, one of the most difficult obstacles can often be oneself. Creator of The Daily Motivator, a motivational website, Ralph Marston believes that even though life contains difficult obstacles one should never allow themself to become an obstacle as well. Even though Marston’s belief is a very uplifting idea, in reality, a person will most likely end up fighting themself at one point. Ideally, life would be something people could just waltz right through;

Besides the issue of group mentality in the genre of a coming of age film, Better Luck Tomorrow takes the opportunity to add a love interest for the reluctant hero. This love interest creates the rising tension between the protagonist Ben towards the young man Steve Cho, who in essence, is a representation of the mainstream depiction of the typical male antagonist, complete with money, motorcycle, and charisma. As the young woman plays her role as the middle of a teen love triangle, she creates

How do you finish a competition? Some say you would only need to have the body and the muscle to finish because it is the most important.

As the book was written by the main character, Farley Mowat, and published in 1963. Since then the average opinions may have changed. Mowat created the strategy of gaining the reader's trust to change their opinions about wolves once he was sent on the “lupine project”. Even though he did not always disagree from the average opinion, his changed by
