Stereotypes And Removes: A Narrative Fiction
I walked down to the store which wasn’t too far away and bought everything on our list, then realized that once people find out about the murder, our pictures will be put in newspapers everywhere. I grabbed some hair dye and some scissors even though it was expensive, paid for the supplies, and walked out of the store.

I got back and told Johnny that we had to dye his hair but he thought i should dye mine. We argued for about 15 minutes and little did we know that 3 older teenage girls heard us and reported that they heard sounds from inside the building as they were riding bikes past it. A little while after the argument some police men came in searching the building. We didn’t have time to hide from them so we were arrested. We walked

    Australian dramas, such as David Williamson’s “The Removalists”, inclination to depend on stereotypes is not a weakness, but instead an opportunity to explore personal and societal issues. The inclusion of stereotypes within the play does not hinder the exploration of these issues, but instead deepens the audiences understanding and awareness. Through familiar roles, such as the ‘Oker’ identity, Williamson heightens the play, and allows a production to focus on the themes being explored. By using stereotyped characters in contrast with realistic characters and style, Williamson effectively comment on the faults of society without the distraction of character complexity.…

    It was the longest walk into town I have ever taken, because of all the people of course. The whole time all I could think about is what are they going to do to me. In this town we hang or imprison murderers. Honestly I can’t think of which I would prefer if they gave me the option. If I was to be sent to prison, then I would serve a life sentence which in my case might not be that long. This sounds better than being hung. Finally, we made it to the Sheriff’s office, and I sat down in the chair right in front of his desk. He already knew why I was there, everyone in town knew by now what I had done. I suppose they would be shocked to know I was capable of murder. I however know exactly what I am capable of doing.…

Because she was a female me and my friends wouldn’t let her play because we thought girls weren’t as good at sports as boys, and she wouldn’t be able to keep up, and paly as well as us.…

There has been a change that made criticism the main subject of conversations among human beings. The media that made a huge impact is television which is the industry that is most guilty of perpetuating gender stereotypes; it can be basic or complex generalizations where people apply to individuals based on their appearance behavior and beliefs.

    It came about because my agent sent me into an audition, but what was interesting about this [audition] — I wasn't interested in going. I'm always interested in meeting new people, but because I work with many celebrities, I can't [really] gossip about people. So with Page Six, I thought; I will not be able to do much on the show because of those [celebrity] relationships, and that goes into my Dinner with Bevy and my SiriusXM radio show, Bevelations.
