Memorial day, an emotional road for many. This event occurs on every last Monday of May. Memorial is to remember veterans who have been injured or killed in a war. Memorial Day is one of the two days every year used to honor our veterans. Although, the earliest history of Memorial day is somewhat unknown.

World War 1 changed everything for me. After the war ended, I was walking around to see what damage has been done to our country. While I was walking around all I heard was kids and adults crying and screaming people someone in their family like their mom, dad, brother, or sister was killed in the war. A few hours have gone by and people started to clean up the mess that was made during the war. So then I realized that my dad was coming back from the war and I wonder if he was dead or if he was alive.

Both texts ‘The Handmaids Tale’ and ‘The Bloody Chamber’ were written during the second wave of feminism which centralised the issue of ownership over women’s sexuality and reproductive rights and as a result, the oral contraceptive was created. As powerfully stated by Ariel Levy, ‘If we are really going to be sexually liberated, we need to make room for a range of options as wide as the variety of human desire.’ Margaret Atwood and Angela Carter both celebrate female sexuality as empowering to challenge the constraints of social pressure on attitudes of women. Both writers aim to expose the impact of patriarchy as it represses female sexual desire and aim to control it thus challenge contemporary perspectives of women by revealing the oppression

During January of 1917, he led his platoon into the battle of the Somme. Shortly after, he wrote to his mother, “Those fifty hours were the agony of my happy life” (Bloom, 12). In November 1918 Owen was killed in action at twenty-five. The events during this short season of his life greatly influenced his writing. In his poem, “Dulce et Decorum Est”, which was written while he was recovering from Shellshock, Owen writes from the point of view of a soldier currently in war.

The Gettysburg address’ audience was intended by Abraham Lincoln to be the entire nation, despite the fact he said this speech may not be very popular later on into the future. This speech was given because after the few days of the battle of Gettysburg, the president, surviving soldiers, and captains of the war were walking around the battlefield. After seeing all the fallen men who

Her roles developed from just the sex object to eventually creating a type, ‘The Girl’ which Marilyn quickly became associated with. The roles that got her noticed by critics where roles playing sexual opportunists. She played Gold Diggers in The Asphalt Jungle, All About Eve, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and How To Marry A Billionaire and in Niagara she played a sexual predator. In Gentlemen Prefer Blondes she played Lorelei Lee, which became her most famous role of a series that helped define Marilyn’s public persona. In these roles she played a woman who was selling sex, and thus she was figuratively selling sex as an actress.

The raped woman’s gender performance was wrong, it sent the wrong signals. Mackinnon also uses the language of reference objects, writing that porn purports to tell “the truth about sex” (3, 1985). That “truth” is the sexiness of violence and hierarchy. Pornography is a visual reference that tells the viewer what woman is, as if a pictorial dictionary. The image of the woman presented in porn represents “true” woman and is internalized as woman by the man (4, 1985).

Simultaneously, "Goblin Market" is a caustic criticism of the marriage market during the Victorian period. Some of the other aspects seen in the poem are observation on capitalism, a feminist veneration of "sisterhood," and a depiction of temptation and redemption. Through "Goblin Market", Christina Rossetti webs a tale of two innocent sisters and their interactions

This common interest of postmodern feminists about women’s bodies and how it serves as a “feminine language” to define identity continues to represent explorations, discovery and opinions of the traditional mind and body dualism, the role of sexual analysis in the development of gender and the self as well as the analytical modes of exploration of the body which all in all defines what it means to discuss about postmodern feminist issues in this twenty-first century. For example, in Mislina Mustaffa’s opinion, the female body directly reflects an artistic subjection to what is considered a norm to women in society today. Nevertheless, the artist disagrees with such manner. The entire discovery of what makes a woman a woman in fact lies in the matter other than the body itself. One route of inquiry along these lines concerns reevaluation of the senses and the conservative materials that are fashioned into forms or ideas that define the identities of women today.

In both of these films consist of the battle of the sexes between being friends of a male and female or a marriage that consist of two married lawyers. Yet, in this history of genre, the films were made to find a “means’ to how it produces meaning” (Gant, 32). It also stated that, “deconstruct the mythic codes of cultural text” (Grant, 32). Which the statement means that the ‘mythic codes’ of how the genre in the movies show codes of sex in the film but it lets the audience look for the codes within the films. There is also the idea of representation in both of these films of masculinity, feminist, and the identity of women.
