Proud Mary

Tina was better than Ike. It was her singing that sold records which in fact made the money, put a roof over their heads and food in their mouths. "Working class men who has limited power in the workplace develop an emotional dependency on the household (partner), demanding nurturance, service, and comfort" (Todd, Lundy 8). Men who are not valued in the workplace, often demand value the their households. It is quite the domino effect especially for a man to maintain his male dominance. In the case of Tina Turner, her fans did not care about Ike Turner when she is performing on stage. It is all about Tina and Ike, is the middle man compared to Tina and he knew this. There is a scene in the movie where Tina is performing her new single, "Proud Mary" (Tina Turner) at the end of her performance the crowd begins to chant: "Tina! Tina! Tina" (What 's Love Got to Do With It) Tina Turner grabs Ikes hand to make him feel valued. Ike lived his life through Tina, making her feel worthless with low self-esteem.. If Tina had known herself worth she would not be in this violent relationship with Ike. But how could she? Ike has already physiological manipulated Tina 's emotions, mind and body. He had brought the intelligent Anna Mae Bullock into a vulnerable world of inflicted pain, removed her entire identity, strength and intelligence. Ike transformed into Tina Turner, the voiceless, blind, battered housewife, he took a person 's life and made it into an experiment. Tina would be unable…

Proud Mary Proud Mary was by far one of the best movies that I have seen this year. The movie is an action packed, kick-butt film in which Taraji P Henson plays the lead character, Mary. NY Times described Taraji as a, “hit woman with a soft spot” and Variety describes her as a, “Haunted assassin who bonds with a kid.” I, however, describe Taraji’s character Mary as simply a resilient and audacious hero. In Proud Mary, Mary was a part of a mafia that she had been affiliated with all her…

Jesus’ father was a carpenter (from the house of David) from a small village (Nazareth) and his mother was a young unwed woman. The only background that Luke tells us about Mary was that she was a virgin(v27). Joseph and Mary were engaged to be married (v27). They were poor and as is common in many third world settings, there assent into a higher social status would be difficult, if not impossible. As a result, the access to the privilege shared by Zechariah and Elizabeth would be a distant…

Mary is represented as icons, drawings, paintings, and apparitions, such as La Santa Muerte, La Negrita, Our Lady of the Rock, Madonna, The Virgin of Guadalupe, and Our Lady of the Wall. With there still being many more, all of this just undoubtedly proves how incredibly substantial her influence is. It is completely reasonable to believe in Mary’s influence because “to look at [her]…is to look at God’s original plan for humanity” (Nouwen, 1989), as mentioned in class: she is the ultimate…

females around him because of his many skills, kind and loyal ways, and his devotion to God and Jesus Christ. According to Luke, “Hail Mary full of grace” was spoken at the Annunciation and “Blessed are you and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus” are spoken by Mary’s cousin Elizabeth. Luke is responsible for the stories about Jesus disappearing in Jerusalem as…

Sagrada Familia,” or the Sacred Family. La Sagrada Familia is, therefore, an expiatory temple, which is a type of temple dedicated to a deity to show devotion, which is a reason as to why the work’s scale is so immense, and why Gaudi paid so much attention to small details. Gaudi’s decision to work at such a large scale is also because he wanted the church to be seen from anywhere in the city of Barcelona, inviting those who need salvation to come and be saved. Gaudi’s plan was limited however,…

people did not believe in the power of women to rule especially religious authorities. John Knox, believed “To promote a woman to bear rule, superiority, dominion or empire… is against all nature” (Doc 1). Despite this common belief Elizabeth’s rule was given to her because of her religious values which may be one of the reasons she felt a need to stick so closely to it as when she entered the Spanish Armada she said “ to live or die amongst you all: to lay down for my God” (Doc 7). Knox also…
