Woman Superhero
Into the superhero world, I had never been interested into the superhero movies. As I watched the movie in class, all I could think about was why a woman? Superheroes are for men, right? I think about all the ways people try to make sure the outside is covered to keep things peaceful. If the results to pay, amount of jobs, punishments, outgoing activities, and more do not prove the life of a man and women to be equal or not equal I am not sure the best way to prove it. I think that in many ways this can be seen as a very opinionated thing, but with the right facts to back it up. Maybe things will make you wonder. I think that wonder Woman is a woman super hero only because of the fact that all the others are men and to make things better, they

    Maxine Hong Kingston’s memoir the “ Woman Warrior” has a very alluring writing style. Her beautifully written words drag readers into the abyss of fable and reality. Nevertheless, to many her writing style may seem unnerving and difficult to pinpoint, and can make one question the ability to fathom English ! Consequently, readers are pulled into the paradox between words and meaning. Kingston’s memoir is like no other writer, her words are a graceful dance that swing the reader along for the ride. Her diction is the dance in motion: throughout the book, she says words that mean much more than a mere definition. For example, the use of the word “ghost” is used to convey not just a supernatural phenomena, but an outsiders…

    “Give me liberty or give me death!” In December of 1777, George Washington decided to set up a winter camp at Valley Forge. The area was about eighteen miles northwest of Philadelphia making it a good place to stay and watch over the British troops. The men had to build huts for twelve men to live in. Sadly, the men slept on the straw and mud floors while being exposed to the cold weather. Many men would run off during war other would simply just desert the camp, unable to fight their living conditions. This raises the question: “Valley Forge: Would you have quit?” To quit would be to not really be an option for me, my loyalty to our government and country will stay at the camp. Many men were dying in this camp. Maybe from disease or simply lack of supplies the main thing is that they stayed until the end of their lives. They believed in this cause enough to never give up and had pushed through the horrid conditions as much as one possibly could. About half of the men were far too sick for battle. (Doc. A) Every soldier was needed and haven been stricken with illness made every healthy soldier a necessity. Approximately 1800 to 2500 men had lost their lives to the wide spread disease so even the smallest attempt to help fight the war was very much appreciated. (Doc. A) My loyalty and commitment to our government would also inspire me to continue on in those harsh conditions. While still living in the make shift town, the Committee of Congress had come to meet the valiant soldiers who were fighting for independence. (Doc. B) The fact that these men showed interest in their soldiers was very heart warming. Seeing as how they were being thought of as heroes instead of...…

    Athena Role Model

    When studying modern mythos in terms of comic books, I kept myself in the lense of female superheros being the goddesses of today. I use the comic books as the goddesses’ mythic narrative, but it also moves beyond written and into a visual medium which seems to be a very intriguing thing to the culture of our world today. The pictures and narrative storyline of the female superheroes provides a clear understanding of their purpose in the world created by the writers. When I posed a question of are these writers using these characters as tools to maintain a patriarchal culture or are they strong female role models created to instigate a change in the views of the world, the answer I arrived on was that they were no different from the heroines…

    The film challenged me to really think about the social constructs that society built around the term man and woman. I still find it hard to see differently because I feel it is engrained into me to think otherwise. And honestly, the more think about it the more frustrating it is because each day I discover subtle things like blue blankets and pink blankets for newborn boys and girls respectively that I never thought about.…

    Sameer Pandya’s The Picture for Men: Superhero or Slacker, Stefan Babich’s The Fall of the Female Protagonist in Kid’s Movies and Amanda Marcotte’s The Shocking Radicalism of Brave all expresses a tone of opposition to the issue of gender gap. They specifically focus on the media especially in movies and cartoons where men are most times the prevailing character and superheroes while women are helpmates and trophies to be won by them. This is an obvious trend and I indisputably agree with this resentment.…

    Wonder Woman Arguement

    • 822 Words

    In the writing Wonder Woman, Gloria Steinem states that Wonder Woman is a feminist symbol and promotes feminism among the youth. Mrs. Steinem also states that in other comics, other than Wonder Woman, women are always the ones being saved and rescued which promotes a feeling of female inferiority. These and other sentiments illustrated in Wonder Woman are completely contradictory to my thoughts and beliefs on the comic Wonder Woman. Although Gloria Steinem shows many interesting examples and reasoning for her thesis, I find other contradictory meanings to the same examples. In the following paragraphs I will be proving my theory that Wonder Woman does not promote feminism and other comics are not putting women below men.…

    In her article, O’Reilly specifically epitomizes Wonder Woman as rising to an achieved level of ‘super hero’ while comparing other like-heroes’ autonomy in that Wonder Woman was not granted freedom to simply be declared a super hero as ‘Clark Kent just dons a cape’ (O’Reilly, 443). However, what made Superman a superhero was that he was not human and possessed ‘un-earthly’ powers which alone distinguished him from others. Can it not then be reasoned that he might be challenged himself to obtain trust and acceptance from the general public to prevent massive fear; for who would be comfortable knowing a humanoid existed with such massive god-like powers who might whimsically turn to evil? Or how about Batman, for instance; would one seriously believe that as the only member of the Justice League without a single super power (and fighting very powerful and clever enemies), he became so just because he was male and donned a cape? O’Reilly’s hypothesis on gender bias stretches beyond comics’ intended purpose of entertainment and lessons of patriotism, good moral and ethical behavior, and imagination among readers of all ages.…

    There isn’t an important female character that is independent of the male heroes in the movie, in fact the end of the film shows Hiller and Jasmine getting married, while David and Constance are going to get back together. By the end of the film these women are either dead (like Marilyn) or have to literally sit back and watch as the men go off to “Kick E.T.’s ass”. When the climax of the movie comes along the movie becomes rather digressive as the men have to “go off to work” while the women have to “Stay home”. I think the film is trying to be progressive for women, by giving them jobs and allowing them to do a few honorable or heroic things (who can forget Vivica A. Fox keeping the door open to save good old Boomer from the fireball), but even with a few steps forward they all take a big step back by the end of the…

    Superhero Identity Crisis

    For my cultural project I chose to listen to radio broadcast stories on the station Radio Ambulante with a particular focus on Argentina. Another Country aired on March 28, 2017 focused on immigrant, Alejandra’s, struggle to find a job and a place to live and when she does find a place to live it may not be what she expected and certainly no one could have prepared her for the job that she would accept. The story told by Camilia Segura and Daniel Alarcón focused on the poor government system of Argentina, which in turn has created an identity crisis for many citizens across Argentina. Ironically ten days prior another story was aired, The Superhero, with same underlying theme of identity crisis resulting from poor government regulations. In The Superhero, a local man whose name was not immediately given was mugged and robbed in the safety of his own home. Upon notifying law enforcement they did nothing to help this man and his…

    The Golden Age of comic books began in 1938 with the debut of Superman in Action Comics #1. The Golden Age was the first era of comic books, a time where they became so widespread and popular that more than 60 million copies were sold each month by 1946. Many of the most notable superheroes were created during these years, and the superhero archetype was constructed and defined. Characters such as Batman, Captain America, Flash Gordon, and Wonder Woman gained prominence in the Golden Age. Despite popular belief, Wonder Woman was not the first female superhero. A few came before her, many after, but yet she has always been an indisputable favorite. In the age in which the superhero was at its most popular, and characters were being created…
