Orlando And Morten Tyldum's The Imitation Game

Name: Instructor: Course: Date: “Quicksand”, Identity and Women 's Experience Thesis Statement The thesis explores how issues related to class, race, and gender intersect to help shape Crane’s struggle towards attaining autonomy and social stability in the 20th century (French and Allyson 457). It shows how class, race, and gender connect by paralleling the plight of Quicksand as a protagonist in the definition of racial identity while struggling to attain sexual autonomy. The thesis makes a conclusion that the failure by Helga to achieve autonomy indicates that the novel critiques misogyny and racism within the society. The thesis also tries to compare the work with a similar novel by Larsen which is more or less of the same concept. It then concludes by taking into consideration the criticism in both

Perceptions of Society Living in a society filled with standards, restrictions and ideals, yet we pertain this idea that our world is worthy. Worthy of the sacrifices women make. Worthy of the limits homosexuals follow. Worthy of the lives being controlled. Our world has experienced these perceptions through the past and the present, but will it advance through the future?

This is the first example of how Christine criticizes medieval European society. Christine over exaggerates her own thoughts and self-doubts by throwing herself a pity party. This action gets the reader to realize that women are treated so poorly to the point of feeling non-existent. Her vocalized doubts ring through each chapter as she continues to build the city. Through Reason and her own character, she shows that women have more worth than what men give them.

When reading “Taming of the Shrew” by Shakespeare and watching “10 Things I hate About You” directed by Gil Junger, the stereotypes and gender role of Katherine (Kat) and the sisterly relationship between Katherine (Kat) and Bianca come across. “10 Things I Hate About You” is an effective adaptation for “Taming of the Shrew” because they both illustrate the theme of women challenging their stereotypical roles in society. Women are supposed to be quiet and not have any opinion or say in the society they are in. In “Taming of the Shrew” and “10 Things I hate About You”, it is difficult for Katherine (Kat) to have a say due to the men in their society. In the film, Kat has opinions on things, but is not allowed to express them because the men just don’t care or they find it funny since women are supposed to keep their mouths shut.

Highlighting Practical Female Problems in Society Some Like It Hot, directed by Billy Wilder, does an effective job at teaching lessons about gender and appreciation of the opposite gender by highlighting the fact that men sexualize women in society and by disproving preconceived notions about the female sex. Since Some Like It Hot aired 1959, some may think the movie is irrelevant; However, common gender issues Wilder touched on are still relevant today and need to be touched on to help eliminate gender stereotypes. Some Like It Hot does a fantastic job at showcasing the extreme gender biases. There are three major scenes in which the women in the film are either stereotyped or sexualized in some way or form. The first scene is when main characters Joe and Jerry change into girls to

Extracurricular Reading II Much Ado About Nothing analyzes how traditional gender roles shape behavior and actions in society. Many of the characters in the play, such as Benedick and Beatrice, actively attempt to defy the expectations placed upon them by virtue of their sex, while others nearly perfectly match the stereotypes- Hero and Claudio being prime examples. Benedick and Beatrice represent defiance of the norm- Beatrice repeatedly claims that she will avoid marriage at all costs, and Benedick doesn’t seem any more likely to place himself in a position to be cuckolded. The two of them engage in several bouts of cleverly written banter, each blow professing the gospel of celibacy. In this, if nothing else, they are in agreement- Benedick

Family is truly the greatest adventure of all. We would do anything for them. If they were not there, we would live in a world of boredom and sadness. Rye’s determination to save his brothers shows how much he truly cares, and that’s saying something. Rye also knows that his mother is a wreck without her other two sons, and this is another thing that drives Rye to go out to the amazing world outside of weld.

Throughout history, society has shaped the lives of individuals by assigning individuals a specific way to be a part of society while deviation is most likely viewed as unacceptable and will likely be censured. Betty Friedan in chapter 1 of her novel “The Feminine Mystique” describes society’s assigned role for females and how women sacrificed their desires to fulfil the role assigned by society. E.J Graff in his essay “The M/F Boxes” describes how transgender and intersex individuals suffered humiliation and alienation because they did not meet society’s expectation of what a man or a woman is. Stephen Hinshaw in an excerpt from “What is the Triple Bind?” brings to attention the contemporary issue females are facing as they are expected to

Deciding on a topic for this paper was a true challenge. On one side, nothing particularly exciting and worth discussing had been or is going on in my life. On the other side, it is scary to bring up the bad memories, problems or bitter incidents; it is like accidentally scratching an old scar. You do not know whether you will feel nothing, or if you will make it bleed again. However, I decided to be brave and talk about the biggest loss I have encountered so far: the loss of my great grandmother.

I must think about it" (27.4). Edna fully understands that society would brand her as a terrible woman, but she does not view herself as a bad person. There is an external and internal difference that Edna hopes to one day reconcile. Chopin, instead of creating tension within Edna, created tension within the society and Edna with her newfound independence does not mind how society classifies her. Decisively, it can be concluded that the tension between outward conformity and inward questioning builds the meaning of the novel by examining Edna’s role as a wife, mother, and as nontraditional woman in the traditional Victorian period.
