Argumentative Essay On Stargirl
STARGIRL

From the beginning, Stargirl is a fish out of water. She's the new girl at school, and that means she has a tough crowd to please. She was home schooled until now and she started school because she wanted to make friends, but she had a very odd way of because she ended up making the whole school mad at her. She is a girl with sand colored hair and freckles. She looked quite ordinary but she most defiantly did not act that way. She is a girl who absolutely cannot be boxed in, pigeonholed, or tied up with a pretty little bow. She's a free spirit, a "rare bird" (according to Archie), and she defies definition in every sense of the word.

She doesn't quite understand all the unwritten rules that Mica's high school has, so she goes

    The review I chose to evaluate is of “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.” I found it on The New York Times website and Alex Berenson is the author. He wrote this review for all of the subscribers of The New York Times and for all of the readers who are interested in “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.” The author does a great job with voicing his opinion about the novel. However, the review of this fiction crime novel is not normally his cup of tea.…

    For over 30 years the world has been infatuated with that one galaxy far, far away. A galaxy that somehow always seems to be in turmoil, and yet is a place that we all wouldn't mind living in. Star Wars has been apart of my life from as far back as I can remember. When I was 5-years-old I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up. I distinctly remember saying that I wanted to be a Jedi Knight, and fly the Millennium Falcon. Not very realistic goals, I know, but it was the truth. Eventually, I did grow up and I had to look for real job, but my fascination and love for Star Wars still remained.…

    Seeing “Culturally Impactful Entertainment Image” in the choices for the final project, I almost immediately knew what I wanted to analyze! Beyoncé’s sixth solo album “Lemonade” dropped exclusively on Tidal on April 23, 2016. Being that “Lemonade” technically classifies as a short film, I decided to focus on one portion out of the twelve tracks. The third track “Don’t Hurt Yourself” from the “Anger” segment is a powerful reminder to society which is displayed in a manner where the underlying message can easily become lost. Due to the controversial lyrics, a clip of Political figure Malcom Ex was overlooked in favor of Beyonce’s personal life. Often when it comes to race, the media chooses to purposely ignore the conversation that is prompted by such powerful imagery. People accuse Beyonce of being a…

    Essay on Wonder Woman

    • 1468 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Her mission is to bring love, peace, and sexual equality to a world torn by the hatred of men. The heroine Princess Diana of Themyscira, more famously known as Wonder Woman, has gone through various reimagining and different retellings in both media and comic books. But all of these have the same basic origin. She was born and lived the majority of her life on the isolated paradise island of Themyscira, an island inhabited entirely of Amazonian women. Everything changed one day when pilot, Captain Steve Trevor crashed on the mysterious island. Soon after he crashed, as he was being held and treated on the island, Queen Hippilyta held a tournament to decide who would have the honor of escorting Captain Trevor back to the United States. Against her mother’s wishes, Princess Diana participated in said tournament and won. At this point the narrative diverges depending on its retelling. In the 1975 pilot, set in World War II, named, The New Original Wonder Woman directed by Leonard Horn, Wonder Woman fights Nazis during the World War II era soon after leaving the island. In the 2009 animated movie, Wonder Woman, directed by Lauren Montgomery, Wonder Woman fights to stop the reign of the Greek god of war, Ares and his army of undead Amazons. Wonder Woman has always been widely considered as a feminist icon, thus these movies are supposed to reflect such a message. Thus each movie shows how the times and sexual equality has changed over the years. These can be shown by the relationship between Princess Diana and Steve Trevor in which one movie portrays them fighting on equal footing against a common threat much like co-workers and the other not so much which is apparent in a multitude of fighting scenes; Wonder Woman’s behavior and personality through both movies but mostly with her passive behavior in one fight scene in the 1975 pilot and her aggressive behavior in the 2009 animated movie; and Steve Trevor’s difference in behavior and personality but…
