Jef Jones Professor Farmer English 102 9 July 2017 “Like It or Not: An Argumentative on Social Media’s Effect on Teens and Adults” Of all the inventions created by mankind, the internet is one of the greatest and most utilized. It has single handedly changed the way we do almost anything in this generation from research to communication, even things like entertainment now…

in movies, TV, music videos, books, comics, video games, ads, photo shoots, news broadcasts, magazines and literally EVERY type of media, is not only normal, but encouraged. Many of the most popular films, such as Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Avatar, and Star Wars fail to pass even a simple Bechdel test, of which the only rules are that at some point, during the movie two named women have a conversation about ANYTHING but men. Considering that, in day to day life, women talk with all sorts…

the 4 rows the theater had made it feel much more inclusive and home-like, almost as if it were a private showing. Additionally, the beautiful scene on stage immediately caught my attention. The darkness and natural scenery reminded me of the film Avatar, specifically the colors and woodsy feel. The small stage and theater made the play…

Iwata’s family for generations and the presidency was passed down to him in 1949. I also added a picture of Satoru Iwata holding the DS. The DS is a handheld console device that, like the other consoles, can play games, go on the internet, create Miis (avatar characters), and much more! Hanging from the ceiling is the Nintendo logo. Nintendo makes the DS, Wii, Wii U, GameBoy, and the Nintendo switch consoles. If you look on the wall of the shoebox, you will see a little yellow character named…

Religious texts are always respected by everyone and they also follow the faiths inscribed in these texts. They are religious because they give us a glimpse of history, they teach religious rules and regulations and advice to live spiritually. The great piece of literature, “The Laws of Manu”, sets strict rules in society for both men and women. The epic “The Ramayana” tells about the life of Rama and his wife Sita. They are the idol example of perfect behavior that should be followed in a…

Science fiction as a genre has often had its stories steeped in allegory and metaphor. From the 1960s Star Trek to James Cameron’s Avatar, sci-fi narratives seeking to impart a greater meaning to their audience have been met with wild success, despite varying degrees of subtlety. In his novel Embassytown, author China Miéville takes this tradition and puts it to the side in lieu of running with it. A self-proclaimed “geek," Miéville has held a lifelong interest in the genres of science fiction…

For this extra credit assignment, I watched Sita Sings the Blues, a cartoonized version of the Hindu epic, the Ramayana. This film tells the story of young Rama, a prince of Ayodhya. Rama's stepmother is jealous of him, so she convinces his father, the king to banish him to exile in the forest for 14 years. Rama's Wife, Sita comes along with him, despite his attempts to get her to stay. Other versions of this story have his brother Lakshman coming along as well, but this film did not show this.…

universe and all its inhabitance into existence when there was nothing there, and seeks to answer the prayers of his followers. Compared with the Vishnu the Cosmic King also known as the god of protection. Vishnu manifest himself in human forms known as avatars to help when there is crisis on Earth. Even though these two religions differ highly in most ways there are a few instances where you can see some similarities between them. One of these similarities being that one of the main focus point…

gives a reason or why the Americans where in Somalia in the first place. This movie depicts Somalis in this shallow story as faceless enemies, who kill Americans without any purpose. This racism exists in cartoon movies as well like in the movie Avatar, Avatar, a white savior movie. In this film the protagonists get implanted in an endangered culture, they later become this culture’s leaders and use the natives’ tools, weapons, and fighting style to defeat their enemy who is depicted as…
