Kate Rogers Drag Queens
In the feature, Kate Rogers asserts that drag queens are a substantial influence on America society. She utilizes the show, Rupaul's Drag Race, and an interview with Rupaul to further her justification. Rogers indicates that the show is designed for individuals to unearth their inner worth and to display their bona fide persona through drag. Rogers developed her thesis by stating that because of their uniqueness, drag queens face hardship and preconception from society and they are viewed as black sheep.

    Tracy Turnblad From Hairspray

    Tracy Turnblad from Hairspray is a beloved character who is not afraid to stand up for what she believes. She is the main character in the story Hairspray, which is about an oversized girl wanting to be on her favorite dance show. While trying to earn her spot, she has to face entitled, traditionally pretty girls who constantly make fun of her size and she has to help beat the oppression of racism because she believes that everyone is equal. This character is different than me because I have never been an “overweight” person before. I do not think that I will ever be very big, so I do not understand what trials she would have to go through in her life.…

    Ethos, Patho: The Short Film The Color Of Beauty

    Discrimination can take many forms and exist every aspect of society. After many years the fight against discrimination is still an ongoing process and for many it’s a daily struggle for many. The short documentary “The Color of beauty” examines the “blatant racism”(00:20) and discrimination that occurs within the fashion industry. The film revolves around Renee Thompson, an ethnic model trying to overcome the racism that exists in the fashion industry in order to make it on top. In today’s modernizing fashion has become a powerful driving force. The film, argues issue that Caucasian models are preferred over colored models, which is evident with the ratio of colored model to Caucasian models in most fashion choice. The film also points out that the difficulty colored models face due to a biased standard that the fashion industry has on beauty. It argues that more often or not, if a colored model is chosen, it’s due to his/her “unique” future. These so called “unique”(02:33) feature is common feature that many Caucasians.

    Q2R Mary Louise Pratt

    1. In my opinion, the introductory story Pratt is telling about her sons and their baseball cards not only gets the reader interested in what is to come, but also gets them thinking a little about how worthy their education system. It sparked my interest to learn that her sons were learning their phonics not in school, but by reading the names and statistics of players on baseball cards. Later on, Pratt relates a story about Guaman Poma and his manuscript. She states that the essay was hard to read and very ungrammatical. This shows that he, also, was uneducated due to the fact that he couldn’t write properly. Like Poma’s inability to be literate, the Incas weren’t literate either. A passage in the book states that the Incas weren’t able to read what Poma had written. Granted part of this reason is because Poma couldn’t write correctly, but even if he could, the Incas had no system of education. Therefore, none of them knew how to read. The third valid point to support my theory was the example of her son and the system of how his classroom worked. Like the text says, most classrooms work in a homogenous way. This means that the teacher has the most authority over all of the students. By teaching in this way, most of what the students are going to learn are in the teacher’s point of view. This isn’t right because it only gives the kids a sense of what one person has to say, rather than reflecting opinions off each other. After reading this story a few times, one of the central arguments that appears is that in every situation given, education lacks some way. In the first example, her sons were learning more from baseball cards than they were in school. For the second, it is obvious education lacks because it appears as though nobody knows how to read or write a simple text. Lastly, moral in the education system isn’t there. If a teacher is the only one speaking, nothing…

    Leslie Jones Most Beautiful Person Analysis

For example Daria’s sister Quinn only ever talks about herself and always refers to her appearance, and how others will judge her on said appearence. “How will I hold my head up in the fashion club....Just because you’re (Daria) not interested in what new and attractive and popular.”…

    Heroine over-Objectification

    Julie D. O’Reilly states that women are objectified in mainstream pop-culture, specifically in comic books and television in her publication, “The Wonder Woman Precedent: Female (Super) Heroism on Trial” (O’Reilly, 442). However, few ever discuss the differences in male and female objectivity in defining bias against gender. In fact, I would venture to argue that the author sympathizes with women and overstates female objectification by injecting her own bias into comic books and television.…

    Essay On Drag Queens

    A drag queen is usually explained as a man (usually gay) impersonating a woman, or several women, for the purpose of entertainment or performance. They can range from those who do it as a job to those who do it as a form of artistic expression. Drag shouldn’t be confused with transvestism, which is very similar, in the sense that involves cross dressing and switching gender roles. Most transvestites do not cross dress to be seen, as drag queens are, but to feel like a woman. Transvestism can also be a sexual fetish, whereas drag rarely is.…
