"You must trust and believe in people, or life becomes impossible." --Anton ChekhovIn (Daskal). This quote tells just how are the girls are feeling because it is impossible to know what to do without the girls trusting someone. In Jennifer Shaw Wolf’s books Breaking Beautiful and Dead Girls Don’t Lie uses the same stylistic elements. The stylistic elements she uses to portray her style are flashbacks, characters, and similar theme.

George Saunders first published The Semplica Girl Diaries in The New Yorker in 2012 and then again in his collection of short stories Tenth of December, in 2013. The main characters are a middle aged, unnamed man and his family (a wife, two daughters and a son). In an interview Saunders admitted that the inspiration for this twisted story came from a dream which explains the origin of a strange concept in it— Semplica girls, women from underdeveloped countries paid to hang in rich people’s gardens, connected to each other by a wire in their brains. However, the main message is a conscious writing choice. This story explores the struggles deprived people go through and choices they make when facing them. It is about their aspirations to be rich and sacrifices they are ready to make for their families. And in the end, The Semplica Girl Diaries can be seen as a disintegration of the American Dream.

Love tends to effect each character’s action differently. For example, love is what motivated the plot of the story “The Valley of Girls” by Kelly Link. For instance, the Olds observed society and performed actions to make sure their children are aligned with success. Love and social status is what makes these people relate, or correlate with each other; it reminds me of a government politically develop by love and society. In “The Valley of Girls” by Kelly Link, from Teenagers and Old are motivated by two specific motives, which are love and social status.

I chose to watch the movie His Girl Friday. I found the concept of the movie to be quite entertaining and felt that it would be interesting to watch. I found the characters to be intriguing. The storyline also seemed very interesting; I wanted to learn more about it. I find an old classic movie to be very entertaining. The film work was very old fashioned and fascinating to watch.

For non-Australians and even for many Australian citizens, knowledge of Australian policies such as the Half Caste Acts, Aboriginal Protection Act and non-indigenous policies such as the White Australia policy and the Assimilation policy stained Australian culture as incredibly racist. This context would help the audience of Stolen to understand just how much cruelty Indigenous Australians experienced. Harrison pushes the thematic concern of inequality through the five children institutionalised. The children are played by adults who symbolises the transgression of pain from child to adult; sexual abuse, intellectual abuse and physical abuse never just

Despite liberation after the Civil War, African Americans still experienced extreme inequality and injustice. Many of them were still being persecuted, for one hundred African Americans were lynched each year during the 1880s and the 1890s. A female African American writer in Memphis, Tennessee wrote about these terrors. Her name was Ida B. Wells. She published pamphlets that illustrated the injustices being inflicted upon the African Americans. On Lynchings includes pamphlets such as Southern Horrors, Red Record, and Mob Rule in New Orleans. The pamphlets included within the book provide sources and facts about the executions. The book itself is about a black women’s cry for help through her writing and how she overcame

In “Girl Unprotected”, Sports writer and journalist Laura Robinson argues that if you examine the Judicial system, then you will find a strong bias against victims of hockey abuses with an emphasis against women. Throughout her essay, Robinson uses the case against Mike Danton and the NHL to emphasize the issues of gender inequality and the lack of recognition to the abuses in hockey. In her essay, Laura Robinson begins her argument by claiming that “women’s bodies were only allowed to be adjectives to describe men” (Robinson 326). By doing so, she suggests that women’s bodies are all that the men in hockey care about while their mind’s and talents are ignored and lack in value. To reinforce her thesis, Robinson also includes a quote from a

The image however also relates to the same theme as the novel. The theme of the image is don't judge a book by its cover. The image show a person being alone but most importantly it relates to the theme because one can see an entire city and then one individual. The picture represents how the entire city views the person, and how many of them would judge that one person by the way they look or act like. This image can be viewed in many different ways but significantly this that stands out in the picture. The individual is like the center on attention in this big city and how he feels toward the people is shown through the sky that's getting darker. The individual may not be happy with the way they are viewed by the world. Same as in the book, Melinda was judged from the way she acted and from there opinions never really changed. People label based on what they see and what make someone isolated from the rest of the world. Don't judge a book by a cover is wide theme that has many aspects to it because it expresses to faces. Although, the way an individual feels is never truly what anyone sees instead what people choose to

During the Rococo period, Jean- Honore Fragonard painted many important and beautiful paintings. Two very interesting pieces were “The Swing” and “The Stolen Kiss” both were painted by Jean-Honore Fragonard. Fragonard was a French painter during the Rococo period, he produces more than 550 paintings. “The Rococo movement was an art movement that emerged in France and spread throughout the world in the late 17th and early 18th century. The word is a derivative of the French term rocaille, which means “rock and shell garden ornamentation”” (Savanah Cox, 2011). “The Swing” and “The Stolen Kiss” are both playful, loving, and witty themed.

Girl, Interrupted is a movie that is meant to portray multiple different mental illnesses and how they affect a person’s life along with others. It portrays illnesses that affect mood, eating, and thought processes. At the beginning of the movie, Susanna tried to kill herself with Aspirin and Vodka, but claims she had a headache, and was rushed to the hospital. The therapist she met with 4 days after her incident referred her to Claymoore, a psychiatric hospital, to treat her depression. Right as Susanna moved in, she got cornered by Lisa, because Susanna took her best friends place in the room. Susanna’s roommate is Georgina, who is in the hospital for having pseudologia fantastica. Lisa starts to take Susanna under her wing and helps her to get to know the ropes. Susanna has sexual interactions with her boyfriend and with one of the orderly at the hospital in the same day, which is seen as promiscuous. Being promiscuous is a sign of her disorder (Mangold,1999). Once Lisa is moved out of the ward Susanna is in, the two of them decide to escape and sell Valium to get money to go to Florida. The first night after escaping, they stay at Daisy’s new apartment and Lisa and Daisy get in a big fight. The next morning, Susanna finds that Daisy has hung herself in the bathroom. Susanna is taken back to the psychiatric hospital and starts to see the doctor 3 times a week. Lisa returns also. Almost right after Lisa returns, Susanna is being let out from the hospital.

The term “Stolen Generation” is used for Aboriginal people who were unrightfully taken from their families, this happened between the 1890s and 1970s. Many never saw their parents, siblings or relatives again. The reasoning behind why they did this is because they thought by removing them they would rid of their Language, tradition, knowledge, dances and spirituality as these things are passed down to children, and they hoping this would get rid of the aboriginals and their cultural by doing so. The stolen children were raised on missions or by foster parents, totally cut off from their Aboriginality. They were punished if they were caught talking their language. Some children never learned anything traditional and had little to no education. It was seen that the girls became domestic servants and the boy were to be stockmen. The effects that this had on the aboriginals was that they developed a sense of loneliness, low self-esteem and a loss of identity and to this day still causes a lot of mistrust towards white people. That’s why today when you are dealing with indigenous or Torres strait islands it is important that you find out a bit about their background so that you are aware, respectful and knowledgeable about the culture and beliefs, as everything we do as educators is reflected on the children and families in our centre. Working at a Child Care Centre, it is important to acknowledge Culture as a part of what makes us different and unique so we need to be open to the idea of uniqueness of each culture and identity, while also understanding the cultural diversity that exists in our service and in the world around them. Children learn and grow from their culture that’s why understanding and valuing all cultural diversity is very important, it also helps prevent racism, helps families and children feel like they belong, and ensures that people are happy and confident about their
