One Of The Central Themes For Archie Comics
One of the central storylines for Archie Comics is that two teenage girls, Betty Cooper and Veronica Lodge are entwined in an ongoing conflict of who Archie should be with. Archie, who is meant to represent the everyman, has these two women fawning over him and is unable to make a decision on which one he wants to be with so instead he leads them both on. The girls still manage to put aside their conflict and remain friends throughout the comics but it is still an ongoing issue that occurs and in Boys Vs Girls and Girls Vs Boys, this is still an issue. Veronica, who is now Ron, is trying to impress Archina with flowers and other gifts. After asking Archina out Ron even tries to make her say yes by taking her on a shopping spree "After school,

    Imagine being discriminated for the color of you're skin, having you're dreams shattered right before you're eyes, stuck in a place all alone, or losing the closest friend that you have. John Steinbeck does a wonderful job of portraying all of these themes in his book Of Mice and Men. John Steinbeck sets his book up during the great depression, there he illustrates the themes of broken dreams, friendship, racism, and loneliness. The main characters are George and Lennie, two migrant workers that stick together for the entirety of the novella. The most important thing that John Steinbeck portrays in his book is the need and desire for companionship all people have.…

    The Chocolate War

    • 1170 Words
    • 5 Pages

    While reading The Chocolate War, I noticed that the way Cormier depicts the females’ roles in this book was a little sexist. Discrimination against genders is an arguable topic. When Archie thinks by himself waiting for Obie, he realizes that he’s been so busy with his work that he “doesn’t seem to have any time to himself anymore, not even time for girls” and he thinks back to the days when “you could let your eyes devour some luscious sights and usually talk one of [the girls] into the car, for a ride home” and usually stop once in awhile for some detours. In my opinion, Archie treats girls just as eye-candy. He doesn’t care about their personality or their well-being but only their physical appearance. While Jerry was lying down trying to fall asleep, he laid their thinking about the girl and the way “her sweater had bulged beautifully, her schoolbooks pressed against her rounded breasts” and he only wished for the books to be his hands. All Jerry was thinking about was his longing to touch the girl’s breasts. Instead of thinking about what truly makes her beautiful, he laid there in bed thinking of her breasts and nothing else. Girls in this book are just thought of as something pretty to look at.…

    Boys and Girls Main Theme

    • 1136 Words
    • 5 Pages

    In her story, Boys and Girls, Alice Munro depicts the hardships and successes of the rite of passage into adulthood through her portrayal of a young narrator and her brother. Through the narrator, the subject of the profound unfairness of sex-role stereotyping, and the effect this has on the rites of passage into adulthood is presented. The protagonist in Munro's story, unidentified by a name, goes through an extreme and radical initiation into adulthood, similar to that of her younger brother. Munro proposes that gender stereotyping, relationships, and a loss of innocence play an extreme, and often-controversial role in the growing and passing into adulthood for many young children. Initiation, or the rite of passage into adulthood, is, according to the theme of Munro's story, both a mandatory and necessary experience.…

    Milk is a very popular drink for the youth in this book. “ The milk symbolizes immaturity and helplessness. The milk was laced with hallucinogens and that's what makes the youth act out and none of the adults had violent behavior. Alex refers to “groodies” (breasts) in the book always as a sexual temptation. When groodies are brought up Alex uses this as a foreshadowing of sex or even rape in the book. “It may not be nice to be good, little 6655321. It may be horrible to be good.” ( 2.3.13) This quote takes place as Alex is in prison and a prison chaplain telling him he may not enjoy being “good.” Alex has a sort of emotion expression and attachment to night and darkness. He feels comfort in the privacy and security nightfall brings…

    Mother in the both story “playing to win” and “Boys and Girls” doesn’t support their daughter when they wish to be more masculine than feminine. For example, the protagonist in the “Boys and Girls” prefers to help her father than to help her mother in the kitchen. However, because narrator’s mother has strong idea about indoor and outdoor territoriality, her mother thinks it’s wrong for a girl to work outside. “I just get my back turned and she runs off. It’s not like I have a girl in the family at all”. Even though there are two kids in the house the narrator’s mother only think of the narrator to help her in the house because she’s the only girl. Also In the “playing to win” the narrator disapproves of her daughter playing sports. She sates “my daughter is an athlete. Nowadays, this statement won’t strike many parents as unusual, but it does me.” This illustrates that her daughter doesn’t fit into society’s idea about women.…

    Erotic Themes

    Audre Lorde’s The Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power offers powerful new ways to think about eroticisms and how they are enacted in everyday life to empower women. She defines the erotic as a source of power, a source of knowledge, and a lens through which we can analyze aspects of our lives to evaluate the satisfaction and joy we receive and deserve. We see themes of the erotic in Sapphire’s Push through the interactions the main character, Precious, has with her social world. In Push, Sapphire presents spaces that are supposed to be designated as safe and protective as sites of physical and mental harm and exploitation for Precious. She revises historical and literary precedents around Black women erotics by showing the family, social…

    Theme of family love

    • 704 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The novel that I have chosen to portray the theme of family love is “Step by Wicked Step” by AnneFine. This novel is regarding five British school children from Stagfire who shared their joys, sorrows and anxieties of their family life. It all begin when they arrived ahead of their classmates for a week-long field trip at "haunted' Old Harwick Hall. In the stormy wild night, Claudia, Pixie, Robbo, Ralph and Colin find a long-abandoned secret room containing a mysterious journal with the aid of flashes of lightning. They uncover a heart rending story of Richard Clayton Harwick, who runs away from the sinister influence of a loveless stepfather. This discovery triggers off each of them to reveal and share their own engrossing, heart-rending stories filled with hurting and healing moments way through a minefield of embittered or uncommunicative or just plain immature parents, insecure or reluctant step parents and resentful step siblings. The implied themes in this novel are revealed through the characters thoughts, speech, actions, reactions and what others say about them. Thus, based on this novel, I have chosen to write on Richard Clayton Harwick’s family members who have portrayed the theme of family love amazingly and dramatically through sense of love, devotion and loyalty.…

    Boys and girls, is a fictional short story, beautifully written by Alice Munro, about gender identity and stereotypes, as a young child moves into adulthood. The story takes place in the 1940s on a fox farm in Jubilee, Ontario. During this time women were viewed as second class citizens but the narrator, who is also the protagonist, desires to be more than “just a girl”. Through the conflicts of the protagonist, Munro depicts the challenges of growing up with gender stereotypes. Her use of first person narration and characterization help to show the hardships of passage into adulthood, and she is still able to examine gender roles for girls and boys, through the use of her secondary characters.…
