Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded Hannah Hart is an online creator, mainly focusing on her popular YouTube segment My Drunk Kitchen among other projects, some partnered with Barilla and The Food Network. My Drunk Kitchen is a segment where Hart drinks while cooking and includes a plethora of food-related puns and life lessons along the way. I highly recommend checking it out. In addition to her growing fame starting a few years ago, Hart released a book late last year titled Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded. To quote the book’s synopsis on the inside cover, “There are tales of family, faith, mental health, LESBIAN SEX, and my ongoing journey to love myself (and not just my selfies).” For years before the book’s …show more content…
She tells stories of her mother’s home where she spent most of her early childhood. This “home” resembled what some may call the house of a hoarder: dirty, unsafe for children, and full of useless junk (which wasn’t at all useless to Hart’s schizophrenic mother). This insight shows how oblivious some children are to an unsafe environment. It also helps readers relate to a child with a mentally unstable mother who often left both of her kids alone and a neglectful father. She tells stories of past romantic relationships, giving a new perspective on the troubles in one gay relationship; some differing from those of a heterosexual one, and some bearing striking resemblance. Anyone who is interested in the digital age, LGBT relationships, and success stories should give Buffering a try. The problematic issues it addresses can be related to any of its readers, which is what gives this book its raw and eye-opening feel. A much different side of Hannah Hart is revealed, and this side shifts the view one may have of Hart today. A bubbly, cute, little lesbian who likes to get drunk and cook is now a strong, resilient, and undefeatable lesbian who likes to get drunk and
In addition, the daughter grasps the attention of the sympathetic emotion from the reader when it is known that often her mother or father would not be sober enough to take her to and from school. There are many days she either did not attend, or frequently was forgotten, about and had to walk home. Sometimes, the little girl had to wait outside during the winter until her school’s gym was unlocked for her to enter for warmth. These signs of neglect are brought to attention in order to show how addiction changes the outlook of parents, and their inability to perform parental
The appeal of adulthood and independence reaches its apex in fervent children. However, Maria Mazziotti Gillan, poet of My Daughter at 14, Christmas Dance, 1981, conveys the paternal perspective of viewing one’s own kin experiencing the “real” world through her daughter’s first relationship. The Family of Little Feet, written by Sarah Cisneros, illuminates the negativities of young girl’s eagerness to physically develop in hope of acquiring attention from possible suitors. While both pieces of literature possess varying perspectives of epiphanies, Gillan and Cisneros divulge the significance of cherishing one’s youth, as the realities of maturity divest children of their innocence.
While unparenting assumably means neglect, it actually is a parenting style, giving children the right to have numerous freedoms. Unparenting is a form of parenting involving partial parental detachment from the offspring (YourDictionary.com). This often includes a lack of rules or parental guidance. Unparenting has no strict rules or guidelines, leading to countless different forms of the word. However, they are all united by one common category: Independence.
Throughout the semester, Arlene Stein’s book “Sex and Sensibility” develops the coursework of content that That, at this point, have three underlying themes: The recognition of new sexual identities and their associated orientations, The separation of the Feminist and Lesbianist movements, and the differentiation of the “Old Gay” and “New Gay”lesbian identities. For starters, Stein’s writing style is a perfect example of the scenery that displays the pandemonium consuming the mystery of the lesbian movement at the time. She precisely and methodically reconstructs the scenes by dancing around the pages and re-accounting different stories that always tie back to the original themes. An example of this is the second chapter of the book when
The book, Bad Feminist, written by Roxane Gay, is a collection of essays that argues about many topics of feminism and typical problems in today’s society. “What We Hunger For," is one of her personal essays. Gay reveals to her reader the difficult journey she had to endure as a teen, while also taking her reader through the cultural experiences that many girls endure but never talk about. She later explores The Hunger Games trilogy and its heroine Katniss Everdeen to emphasize the cathartic and sobering stories in young adult literature. Gay claims that through the use of young adult literature and movies that speak of true experiences and accomplishments, the dark past young adult endure can be unlock and resolved.

Best of the Worst Parenting is never perfect. Every parents questions whether they are raising their child correctly, and no parent ever feels like they are doing the right thing. With no clear distinction between good and bad parenting, it is usually left to personal preferences and judgements to decide which parents have adequately raised their children and which have failed. When a parent so call “fails,” often it is the children with their strong will and determination to survive that collectively raise themselves.

Although there is currently more than there was in the past, there is still not a lot of representation for lesbians and lesbian couples in today’s media. Created, written, and produced by Ilene Chaiken, The L Word, is a trailblazing television show that is centered mainly on lesbians and lesbian relationships. One of the most monumental events to take place in an episode titled “Land Ahoy” in the second season of the L word, when several of the characters went on a cruise meant for same sex loving women while another character met with her father. Many events took place in this episode and it is a strong example of Chaiken demonstrated, through usage of Stuart Hall’s theory of encoding and decoding and Julie D’Acci’s theory of the integrated

It shares things with oral sex,organsms, and the complicatications that hook up culture faces.

This novel follows the life of a recent college graduate, Marian MacAlpin, through her career and emotional maturation in a somewhat unnatural, if not threatening world. The queer concept of this world is branded by a spectrum of moral viewpoints of gender politics that manifest themselves and surround Marian. The political and cultural values and practices of a male dominated and sex driven society depicted in the novel are so strong that they seem to devour Marian physically and emotionally. She rebels against this cannibalistic, patriarchal society through a comestible mode and the end, reclaims her identity crisis by restoring her relationship with
By observing the treatment of gay men in Sickened by Julie Gregory, a reader can gain a deeper understanding of how the protagonist’s mother helps to develop themes during the book. At one point in the story, Julie’s mother, Sandy confronts Julie’s father, Dan in an attempt to talk to him about being a better parent. When he doesn’t want to listen because he’s watching M*A*S*H, she decides to insult him to get his attention by saying, “If you were a man, you fat-assed faggot, you good-for-nothing, lazy-ass, son-of-a--” (Gregory 81). At this point, she is not able to finish her sentence because he bolts out of the chair, grabs her by the neck, and attempts to beat her with a ceramic cat. This scene creates a dramatic showdown between all members
We see ourselves in Suzie, Jon, Robert, or Rachel. We connect to these characters because we are these characters. They live adult lives doing adult things in the only way that adults know how, which is often not very adult like at all because no one truly taught us how to be adults. This story is so much more than just about sex, you can see it in the care put into each color on each page, in the way that the let Suzie tell her story as she wants to, and in their lighthearted but fervent conversations about difficult topics. Sex Criminals is something else and I hope that within this paper I have done it the justice that it
