    Daria Morgendorffer: A Character Analysis

    I adhere to a doctrine of rationalism and follow my own interests. In the show people misunderstand Daria’s lack of words as misery, but it is resistance to homogenized happiness and acceptance of the status quo. Daria uses her words wisely and speaks when she needs to. I am similar to her in that way; my silence stems from my instinct to observe my surroundings and absorb what people are discussing rather than just speak bombastically. I never conform to people’s attitudes just to be a part of a group, and I am quick to assert myself when I do not agree with someone. With this mentality, I joined my high school’s speech and debate team freshman year, participating in extemporaneous speaking by voicing my opinion on several foreign and national issues. My sophomore year I joined my The City Club Of Cleveland's Youth Forum Council, and I helped…

Imagine that you’re told by many people, who you love, that you’re a sin and that you will burn in hell. Imagine that everyday the people you thought cared for you turn you away and threaten you if you don't change, for some people that is something they can never even begin to understand, but now imagine it happening to someone for their entire life. Laverne Cox, a transgender woman and actress, gives a powerful speech during ‘Creating Change 2014’ (an organization that brings awareness to the LGBT community) she talks about the violent injustices and police discrimination against the lives of transgender women of color as a way to spread awareness of the inequalities of transgender within the LGBT community to those who feel the T in LGBT isn't as important.

    A Boy With Down Syndrome Rhetorical Analysis

    She explains how disabled people were denied rights in the early days, the media’s influence and the current dilemma many of them face. One example was her explaining on how she was told about “a boy with Down syndrome” (pg. 445) “who wasn’t allowed to go to school” (pg. 445) in a small town Georgia neighborhood. Later we see the passing of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act in 1975 followed by Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990. She explains the promotion of Tropic Thunder and its exploitation of the word “retard”. Bauer also used statistics to back her claim of stigma that America has on those with people with disabilities even in the modern era. Research was conducted by University of Massachusetts found that “half of young people wouldn’t spend time with a student with an intellectual disability”. (pg. 445) “More than half of parents didn’t want such students at their children’s school” (pg. 445) Towards the end, she argues against the stereotype or predictable future of a person with disability.
