My Fair Lady Reflection
In the movie, there are some gender issues. In 1970s, women receive the unfair treatments. They could not live in the sex equality lives. Men always thought women were born for marrying with them, and their wives had to service them as the God. At that time, men usually went out for work, but women should stay home and do the household chores. In this way, men oppressed women indirectly. I think it is the sexism; males should not have the prejudice to women. Until now, these kinds of problems do not disappear, what can we do is respect to each other, not only men to women but also same sex to same sex. And why can women be like men? It has already twenty one century, women should fight for their rights, do not let others ignore women’s existences.
I think the accent is one’s identity. For example, in Taiwan, if you hear an accent which you think that is strange, you may guess the person is a Taichung’s citizen, southerner or an aborigine. One’s accent is his or her characteristic, maybe it would lose something if you want to change the accent. For me, I was born in Ping-tung, in the south of Taiwan. When I speak the English, my classmates often think I have the different accent which I never notice. Some of them think my pronunciation is too Taiwanese. Whatever they say, I think that is my style, it is my individual characteristic.
In this movie, Prof. Higgins changed Eliza successfully; Eliza had changed into another person totally. She had new style of speech, and almost removed the society class’s obstacle. But, at the same time, Prof. Higgins also changed himself by Eliza, he was attracted by Eliza’s characteristic. Well, I think we can not look a person’s difference by his or her words and

    This movie really depicts the cultural truth-value of gender roles in the current American society. John Tucker is the typical high school jock that is so handsome, athletic, and gets all the girls. All the girls nowadays have an image that every boy that they date should be like that. Also, it is quite a double standard because if a girl were to date 3 guys at the same time, she would be considered a “slut,” but if a guy wants to do that; his boys will say that he is a “stud.” The girls in this film are also depicted as the stereotypical girls who are either the cheerleader for the football or basketball team who get with all the guys, the smart girl who is a nerd, and the girl who is the class “slut” who hooks up with everyone.…

    3. In many ways, it is a feminist text. Since the main character is female and much of the story is seen through her point of view, she addressed many female issues. These include the constant abuse many females faced from the men in charge of their lives. However, many of these issues are universal. Both sons and daughters have been victims to parental abuse and everyone dreams of escaping to paradise.…

    The film seems to be critiquing men’s need for power over women and the male ego, but it does so by recreating those problems. The film is centered on two women in captivity for the pleasure of two men and finally one man, Caleb, orchestrates an entire plan to save the damsel in distress. The plot is extremely male centric with the protagonist and antagonist both being male. The female lead, Ava, is passively being watched and her one plan of escape is to depend on Caleb. The only deviation from traditional female representation is at the very end of the film, when Ava lets Kyoko die, kills Nathan, and leaves Caleb trapped in the house to eventually die. In some ways the ending is progressive, because Ava departs from the majority of female roles, which follow “pro-social goals including supporting and helping others” (Lauzen, “It’s A Man’s…

    One of the examples were that women were treated very poorly and they were not allowed to work and they did not have a lot of rights according to the men they said they controlled the women just like in the third world countries women doesn’t have a lot of freedom to do whatever they want. Another reason might be that women are not strong enough to take care of themselves how can they contribute to the society by voting. Some men in the movie actually insulted the women to make them feel like they are nothing but slaves as it showed that most women stayed home and did whatever their husbands requested. The movie showed us how men despised giving women the power and authorities do anything in the United States government the movie shows how men are power hungry and won’t let women to get the power to change the government system…

    “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck is known as one of the best novels of the 20th century. This world renown book follows the of a tale of adversity an abnormal friendship endures which, includes, the small, quick witted man affiliated with the name George Milton and the simple minded naive lunk known as Lennie Smalls. Though they may not seem like the quintessential that Bonnie and Clyde may have been or even Sherlock and Watson were, but they had a certain je ne sais quoi about them that could endure through all odds they somehow found a way to develop a strong bond that could only be deteriorated by death. Without the other, the amalgam known as George and Lennie would cause “Of Mice and Men”to be lacking the panache that it so indubitably…

    In Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s “The Lady of Shalott,” the eponymous Lady is cursed to spend her life alone, weaving in the top of a tower, with a mirror as her only window to the outside world. Though she is trapped against her will, “in her web she still delights / to weave the mirror’s magic sights”. Into her endless tapestry, she weaves in all the images shown to her in the mirror, such as funerals, weddings, and the people who pass by on the road to Camelot. This creation of art is her only pleasure in life. However, after what is implied to be years of isolation, she becomes “half sick of shadows” and loses her artistic passion. At the chance passing of Lancelot, she cannot bear it any longer and leaves her weaving to look out and see the world for what it really is, bringing about her own death in the process. The Lady does not die for her love of Lancelot, who just happened to catch her interest at that moment, but for her love of life and the world, which she could not experience and, therefore, could not recreate in any way that did it justice in her mind.…

    This tale is used to represent how society should have been in that era, women and men are the same, both human beings.
