Girl, where is your pride?, Girl, where is your dignity?, girl,why are you a nasty girl?. Dressed up like she's a wannabe- beauty queen; How can she be so mean?. She sits at the corner of the table sucking her teeth and flicking her tonuge as she twists her hair and smiles a nice but, smug smile.

    The poem, “Barbie Doll”, by Marge Piercy, is about a normal “girlchild” who gets criticized by society for not looking like a perfect doll. She changes herself to fit society’s expectations just to fit in, but only in the end does society see her as “pretty”. Piercy’s purpose of the poem is to show how society has appalling expectations of how women show look and act. Imagery, irony, and tone are terms that show how vile society's expectations are.…

    Barbie-Q

    The first paragraph The allure of Cisneros’ story-telling lies in her ability to constantly introduce readers into conflicting states of emotion. Clearly, while the subject’s optimism is consistent throughout the first paragraph, critical readers can detect subtle shifts in feelings which range from sheer exhilaration (as she describes her Barbie’s item with great fondness: ‘evening elegance in black glitter strapless gown’, ‘puffy skirt at the bottom like a mermaid tail’, etc.) to slight disappointment (‘from so much dressing and undressing, the black glitter wears off where her titties stick out’), and eventual solace (shown by her contentment with the self-made clothes). The light tone in “Barbie-Q” is of premium archetype, as the young girl’s voice radiates enthusiasm and urgency. The pace in the first paragraph constantly picks up while the readers’ emotion is dragged down. The initial tension heightens as readers see the protagonist’s wish-list gets longer and longer, until she resorts to her own means in order to curb the fervor.…

    Sammy has a good head on his shoulders, but he ends up making the mistake of adjusting his morals and ideals in order to justify his lustfulness towards the women in skimpy bikinis. Sammy struggles with the common battle of good versus evil, and right versus wrong. He knows he should not be lusting after women, but he partakes in it anyway. He spends all this time observing every detail and even starts to imagine the lives of these women. The audience would suspect that Sammy is a supporter of respecting women and women’s rights by some of his actions. He even becomes flustered when the store manager confronts the girls in front of everyone over their appearances. However, Sammy refers to some female customers as “houseslaves in pin curlers”. It is ironic that he degrades some women in this way, while he is engrossed on others. Sammy contradicts himself through his actions. This reveals that Sammy is a young man who is struck by lust. He does not realize that the women he idolizes is on the same platform as the women he mocks for their gender related roles. He is bending his morals and ideals on women to make sure the women he marvels at get the good end of the stick. The young, attractive women, which he puts on a pedal stool, are equivalent to the average, everyday housewives. Both sets of women deserve respect and he is only giving it to the ones that fits his visual…

    One of the girls said to her sisters that her doll “is the one with mean eyes and a ponytail. Striped swimsuit, stilettos, sunglasses, and gold hoop earrings. Mine is the one with bubble hair. Red swimsuit, stilettos, pearl earrings, and a wire stand” (Cisneros par.1) This shows how the girls compete with what they have and who has more and that’s an example of what everyone in society does; they compare an ugly person with the most beautifulest person in the world, and that would bring the ugly person’s self-esteem down. When an individual’s self-confidence is lowered, they try to bring it back up by changing their inner and outer beauty, and the idea of being insecure leads to people following…

The critical appraisal process systematically finds, appraises, and acts on evidence based research after thorough review. The use of critical appraisal also allows us to make sense of research evidence and allows us to begin to close the gap between research and practice. (Hill, 2001)…

    This semester I was definitely challenged. I was not quite ready for the amount of homework I was going to receive for all my classes. For instance, English 102-06 the work itself is intense, there is a lot of reading and writing. I tried to make a class schedule to accommodate my job, study time, and time for my four year old daughter. I am fully aware what are my weaknesses are as a writer just as; I know what my strengths are as a writer. Each day I feel it is a struggle for me; however, I will not give up. I’ve come too far. Every day I am learning what is expected of me as a writer. I am learning what to do and what not to do.…

    Racism is not only present between blacks and whites, it is an issue concerning everybody, based on the colour of their skin, their religion and other factors. For example, since the attack on the World Trade Centre, Muslims and Arabs have been experiencing an extreme amount of racism in the United States but also here in Canada (Fakhreddin Jamali, 2003). This proves that people are simply looking for someone to hate. Anything can set it off but it is hardly ever justified.…

    A weakness of “A Descriptive Study of the Partner’s Experiences of Living with Severe Heart Failure” are the demographics of the partners’ sample. Convenience sampling was used in this study. The sample size was small and consisted of only 14 partners. 92.9% of the sample were married to the patient and Caucasian; 78.6% of them were women. The sample lacked ethnic diversity. The sample should have also included children and other significant others. The mean age of the sample of partners was 64.85 +/- 7.68 years ( Imes et.al, 2011). Convenience sampling offers a small opportunity to control biases; and therefore is a weak approach (Grove et. al, 2013).…

    Through the first half of the school semester, English 1100-03, taught by Ms. Gail Taylor, has expanded my knowledge substantially through various open class discussions, many journal entries, essay and poem readings, and critical analysis of articles. Because the course deals with reading, writing, and teaching the use of proper grammar, my vocabulary has definitely increased. Also, because of the emphasis on higher learning that the class presents, we as students are expected to maintain a journal broken down into three parts: a "Dear Gail' section, a section for journal entries, and a section for rough drafts for upcoming assignments. Along with keeping a journal, we as students also have to have an attitude of flexibility, curiosity, and respect for the diversity of beliefs and opinions we all share.…

    The author uses the superiority theory to get her point across. There many times when they are trying to find things to survive most of the girls were so worried about the pageant look didn't care about necessities they needed to live. One of the girls had a tray in her forehead and because they couldn’t take it out they advised her to get bangs so she could still look good for the pageant. “‘You know what would be cute on you?’ Petra said... ‘Bangs. So 1960’s chic. You’d hardly notice the, um, the...addition.’” For comic elements author uses comic situations, hyperbole and irony. For example when Tiara find there going to be there for a while with not much food she says “Ohmigosh. No food at all...I am going to be super skinny for pageant time.”. Also there was many times and they compared what they were dealing with to happens in beauty pageants. This story is high comedy. I know this because one specific topic they talk about is racism. When Nicole comes they assume she is from the village even after she told…

    Making an impression

    Making a great first impression is something that most aim for when venturing out into any social setting. In the poem “In a prominent Bar in Secaucus One Day” by X.J. Kennedy the author uses the main character to make an impression along with a message. Taking place in a prominent bar, Kennedy introduces us to the boisterous, passionate, and somewhat enlightening main character. An older woman who had dreams of being successful, a good life but let her beauty become her only means to success. Instead she lived a fast life, now dilapidated from the abuse of drugs, alcohol, and sex over the years. The older woman wants to share her story; through song she sang to the other patrons who have decided to listen in. In the poem the women seems to be an older working girl, she informs through her wonderful singing voice and twisted story that life is short and beauty fades, so try not to get by on your looks alone. For she is the perfect example of where you would end up, which would be in a bar old, and alone with nothing to show for except your story.…

    Evaluation and Judgment

    There are many different ways in which we evaluate people. The visual traits are one of the first to be noticed when we meet someone. These visuals include someone’s hair and clothing style, body shape and size, whether a person is fit or not. After meeting a person and getting past the visualization of a person we then observe or evaluate their communication by way of their tone and demeanor. We then categorize a person by what we have evaluated through first impressions in to a pre conceived category. If someone has a comforting softer tone it is likely to put people at ease and make them more comfortable compared to someone who may have a louder more abrupt tone which causes and uneasiness that make communication more difficult.…

    Despite switching majors from graphic design to film this year, I believe I have tried my hardest to learn as much as possible about film production through MIP II and DIP. During my freshman year, I was on three different sets lending a helping hand to my friends. This class has been a great refresher and I came in ready to learn what I didn’t know and review what I did know. So far I believe that I have done quite well in both of these classes, even if at times I’ve struggled with trusting my peers to help me with certain aspects of my projects.…
