What Makes Stargirl Powerful
As the tides turn in Stargirl’s popularity, many things also begin to change. The basketball game impacted Stargirl’s popularity by making many think that she was a traitor. She kept on cheering for everyone nonstop for whoever. When she was on Hot Seat, the jury was making rude and nasty comments and cruel things about her. Even though the Hot Seat session was never aired many found out by the next day. A tomato was thrown at her during the Glendale game and that was when laughter and applause came from the

    Savagery in Chicago Suburbs

    So what exactly happened? According to the authors, what was supposed to be an innocent “tradition of the powder puff football game” arranged by the senior girls for the junior girls, turned to an out of control game of humiliation and revenge. Girls were being pushed and kicked, splattered with paint and human feces. Later in the text we find out that, pig parts which were supplied by one of the parents were thrown at the poor girls. Someone put bucket over one girl’s head and hid it with a baseball bat. Parents of one girl, who lost consciousness during that “game,” testified later that “the victims were threatened with more violence if they left the field.” After the beatings and humiliations ended, five girls were sent to the hospital, one with a broken ankle, and another with a concussion so serious it caused memory loss, another to receive 10 stitches in her scalp. Every rule and principle of that game was violated, and per Mike Green, Northbrook Police deputy chief “many of the students could face criminal charges.” Not everyone; however, was part of the vicious game. The tape of that horrible incident, that was released and examined by the school officials, and later used by lawyers including Rollin Suskin, who represented several of the victims, also…

    Rick Reilly Summary

    Cheerleaders are athletes too. They practice just as much as everyone else, sometimes even more. They get hurt just like everyone else, but only more severely. In “Sis! Boom! Bah! Humbug!” Rick Reilly attempts to get people of his side of cheerleading as a sport or in his mind not a sport. He does not want girls cheering on the other athletes at sporting events when they could be in the event instead. Rick Reilly conveys his message through a sandwich of logos, pathos, logos statements; this was very effective in my eyes even if at points he turned the majority of readers away with sarcastic anecdotes, but he manages to bring most back through his use of assertions.…

    Otherness In Z Packer's 'Brownies'

    She also takes great pride in her cleanliness. The girls in her troop, knowing that she is so shy, lay the hearing of the racial slur on her because they know that she will not speak up. And they’re right; Daphne is overcome by Arnetta’s dominant personality and does not say anything because all she wants to do is fit in. Once the girls leave the washroom, Daphne stays behind in her discomfort, knowing that what she did was not exactly right. To take her mind off of the troop’s anger and prejudice toward the other group, Daphne stays behind and cleans the washroom because it is the one thing that can make her feel good about herself. Daphne remains passive about the situation and does not want to get involved in the fight. Unlike Daphne, Laurel is very independent and likes to stand apart from the others. She is very thoughtful and will stand up for what she believes in. In the story, when her Brownie troop believes that troop 909 made a racial comment, Laurel is the only girl who does not believe it. She is the only girl in the entire group to give it a second…

    Kara Stein's Argumentative Essay-Personal Narrative

    She is reportedly a pleasing item for male gratification. Cassie Roberts, best friend, explains with envy, “Kara’s already far better off than us [other girls]. Everything about her frame and physique screams sexy, so she’s a fierce competitor with a bright future ahead of her.” To her point, the boys are taking pleasure in the provocative little thing. For example, senior Peter Nelson, admits he never noticed her up until this year when the inviting appearance of that “fine piece of equipment” appealed to him. Furthermore, no matter what room she walks into, she’s greeted by cat calls and other flattery. Charmed to be viewed as a bundle of quality physical attributes wrapped into one tiny present, it is her duty to be received by those who feel entitled.…

    Tragic Hero: Mrs. Cox As An Epic Hero

    Mrs. Cox, on the other hand, is not just a superhero; she is far beyond the existance of a superhero. Even though she is a teacher, she earned her way to the top to be the epic-hero. Becoming this high in rank, she built up superhuman powers along the way. These powers included her sense of cleverness, mental and physical strength, and her courageousness. In any situation, she never took advantage of a single one. When she used her cleverness, she could ensnare any student lying, cheating, or how they were even feeling. As tests were passed around, her mental and physical strengths of hawk eyes and mind reading could catch any student at another student’s paper. The courage in her booming voice stands out and echoes inside of a student’s head and never can seem to find its way out. Being the powerful epic-hero she is, no student will ever be willing to mess with…

    Wonder Woman Archetype

    The Golden Age of comic books began in 1938 with the debut of Superman in Action Comics #1. The Golden Age was the first era of comic books, a time where they became so widespread and popular that more than 60 million copies were sold each month by 1946. Many of the most notable superheroes were created during these years, and the superhero archetype was constructed and defined.

A few came before her, many after, but yet she has always been an indisputable favorite. In the age in which the superhero was at its most popular, and characters were being created…
