Time to follow the tale of our favourite Brooklyn Sweetheart. Harley Quinn, issue 16, the third installment of the story arc: Domination Abomination. I think the highlight is the gorgeous team up of Harley, Power Girl and Atless. Having a team up of all superhero women is exceptionally rare. I am loving this series, it has a lot of uncommon moments. And art has a way of always breaking boundaries. That is post-post-modern art. In addition, the love Harley shows is wonderful, she’s practicing self-care, in the previous issue she says “keepin’ busy” is the best sort of therapy. This is what she needs right now, and she follows it. In the Rebirth Harley saga, she makes every interaction a delight, but they writers don’t take away the seriousness, …show more content…
I wonder if she gets sick a’ savin’ me. Powergirl: Yes I do! The antagonist is Zorcom. His design is iconic alien baddie style: body structure, sharpness of face, and electric blue skin. Blue or green characters are often used to signify villains. He doesn’t seem to understand how easily Harley, Power Girl, and Atlee could take him down. More importantly, they don’t want to take him down, he’s just not worth the effort. He lack compassion for human life, but he isn’t logical or cunning either, just a big baby with empty threats. Fights against men and women are somewhat uncommon in comics, but here is happens and I’m not shocked. These girls are bad babes. And the ending is befitting a title that stars Ms. Quinn. The antagonist, after three issues, gets hit by a bus as a rat comically runs off with his dismembered eye. Nice. I appreciated this way of him leaving the arc, he was a ridiculous villain. As in his purpose, he was too stubborn and proud to learn anything about this world. And no matter how much he was spoken to, he learned no tactics to improve himself as a villain. People like him, no reason to be upset at, because they’re digging their own grave anyways. And Harley is just so
Napoleon Dynamite is one of the best movies portraying loneliness and nerds. It is the story of Napoleon in high school and his lonely adventures.

There have been major changes to the superhero archetype in comics in these recent years as compared to the past. Along with that arises controversy on the subjects like the new female Thor or a black kid as Spiderman. Many are zealously against such changes for reasons like sexism or racism. While many others are fervently behind such changes because they use it to empower their own political views on today’s topics. These topics are important to today’s society however they should not be so important in comic books because comic books should be value-neutral and gender, ethnicity, sexuality and things of this nature should not matter.
Thomas Hardy challenges the sexual principles of the late nineteenth century in his novel Tess of the D'Urbervilles. Tess Durbeyfield, a young woman, looks for work at Trantridge, where she meets the charming Alec Stoke-d'Urberville. Alec becomes attracted to Tess and later rapes her in a forest. This drives Tess to look for work elsewhere, and she meets Angel Clare at Talbothays Dairy, where they fall in love with each other and marry. However, when Tess tells Angel what happened to her at Trantridge, he leaves her and goes to Brazil. Hardy presents two men who inflict different types of pain on Tess; while Alec harms Tess physically, Angel harms Tess psychologically. Hardy establishes that people are victims of fate and, although both men have many faults, Angel is the better man.
It is good to hear another author perspective on life after the revolution. Porterfield gives major insight on a different perspective of religion being a part of life post-revolutionary life. Her perspective in the book is mostly about how there was much skepticism during the time after the revolution. In Thomas Kidd book, he talks most about how religion influenced the revolution and how our country was set based on religious freedom. Porterfield on the other had talks about a different perspective, which is the “mistrust” of politics and religion.
“Feminist” has a negative connotation nowadays; we often times here people call feminists “feminazis,” “man haters,” or even just a “bitch.” Many people think that “feminism is anti- male” (Hooks). Many female celebrities stay hush about the issues surrounding females every day, but Lena Dunham is not one of them. Stemming from a family of artists, Lena became a writer, actress, producer, and director and was put in the spotlight. Instead of keeping hush about the world and Hollywood’s issues pertaining to the mistreatment of not only women, but those of different genders and other oppressed people as well. Lena Dunham shows her bold character and feminist visions by using her pedestal to speak out on social and political issues.

Fiction stories are those stories not true or factual and are created by the author. These stories are imagined by the author and narrated to the reader. The reader has the opportunity to add their own imagination to the story to make the reading even more enjoyable. Fiction relies on the imagination of the author and the imagination of the reader along with the elements of fiction. Fiction readings are in the form of realistic and non-realistic. When discussing these two types of fiction readings two stories come to mind. The realistic story that comes to mind is the story of “A & P” by John Updike. John Updike is “…considered one of the best of American writers of fiction and poetry” and his story of “A & P” proves to be an ideal example of fiction (V., and Zweig 370). The non-realistic story is “The Fox and the Grapes”, which is found in Aesop’s Fables. Both of these narratives contain elements of fiction easily identified and therefore entertaining to discuss. Characters and point of view are two of the elements of fiction found in these two short stories. Discussion of these two elements, expand on the knowledge of fiction stories through examples and definitions.
The United States is made up of many different types of people. There is a broad variety of people, that have come to the United States, from all different places around the world. In order for these people to get a better life, these people have to risk their lives to come to the United States. When they do come, they bring things with them, such as: culture, religious beliefs, customs, and their belongings that they can bring. Most of these people have to leave behind almost everything they have. Some of these people chose to come to the United States and they sacrificed everything they had to make it possible. (Asis) There are many different reasons and factors that make these people emigrate away from their country.

The “Bad Girls Club” display groups of women who are obsess with drinking and violent behavior to handle their situations, shining the light on negative stereotypes, defining a “bad girls” and the influencing young girls in today’s society. The way these girls act on TV is the way the media portray women as vulnerable and in need of male attention. By depicting women solely as physical objects, we rarely see them as powerful. Women have often seen each other as competition in many realms of their lives and so have become adept at quickly sizing up their female competition as to what makes a women’s woman (Kramer 210).The show 's has a foundation of seven women with personal, social and psychological problems, who consider their self to be
