Yimou exemplifies social control while Fugard demonstrates political law, but both emphasize power and the movement of this

change in emotion. Edgar allan used ordinary things such as clocks or the police to convey some type of feeling, as in the tell tale heart we can understand what is going on in the narrators head based on the heavy symbolism throughout the story. The lantern is the indirect murder weapon illuminating our narrators misdeeds in the darkness of the night and bringing it to light.

Stereotypes: A big problem in Superheroes “Not even girls want to be girls so long our feminine archetype lacks force, strength, and power. Not wanting to be girls, they don't want to be tender, submissive, peace loving as good women are (Chuck Tate, 148).” Why are stereotypes used? why not go around with labels and stick them on the person we think it goes with. Negative effects of stereotypes from superheroes include body image, diversity, and unacceptable behaviors. In fact unrealistic body image

Raise the Red Lantern The movie is set in China during the 1920s and 30s right after World War I and was transitional period in China.

One of my favorite superheroes is Wonder Woman (also known as Diana Prince). Not only is she a modern day feminist, but she also continues to be the most well developed DC comic book character (in my biased opinion) to date. Wonder Woman’s origin story is extremely unique because it’s always changing. She’s seen as an amazon, a demigod, a princess, and a lump of clay in various adaptations. In the 1941 comic, Wonder Woman's birth takes us back to the classic origin stories from both Hellenic mythology

As a child It was always a mystery to me how Superheroes had their supernatural powers. Many superheroes differ from one another. Like many fictional characters invented by DC Comics, Superman and Batman both have many different and similar characteristics. They both have distinctive abilities who make them who they are.

Superman and Wonder Woman On the day I turned 8 months old in December, my father was involved in a traffic accident that claimed his life.
