The Epiphany Of Pet Peeves

157 Words1 Page

People’s pet peeves can range all the way from biting your nails to swallowing really loud. Every person has their own set of things they can’t stand or that bothers them to the breaking point sometimes. I believe the epiphany of pet peeves is the “cow chewers”. These are the people that obnoxiously chew their gum like a cow. When chewing gum in public, consider the feelings of others around you before chewing like a cow, popping bubbles, and cracking gum. Popping bubbles is unneeded when in a public space. It is loud and obnoxious, and can sometimes stick to your lips, making a mess to get off. It is not a fun time to listen nor see. Not everyone is interested in seeing how big of a bubble you can blow. Everyone has blown bubbles before

  • Stereotypes In High Noon

    462 Words  | 2 Pages

    From our previous film showing, High Noon, we got a taste of how the Western genre portrayed Chicano/a characters. The late 1970’s saw a decline of the western, and “with the decline of the filmic western came the rise of the urban violence film” (Cortés 134). The 1980’s and 90’s saw film after film released portraying gang violence, and the Latino gang film was a “natural crossroads for sex, violence, and ethnicity” (Cortés 135). Some see these Latino gang members “as updated, modern variants of the Mexican bandit type” (Treviño). 1993 brought us the film Mi Vida Loca, which shows us the life of teenage Chicano/a gang members living in Echo Park, focused on the character known as Sad Girl.
