One major connection that I saw in this film was the authoritarian personalities of Judy’s parents and community. From the time Judy is a little kid to the time she enters the force, she has this preconceived fear and prejudice towards foxes because of what her parents have told her about the foxes, and because of her personal interaction with Gideon Grey at a young age. I really do think that Judy’s parents are the primary reason that Judy fears foxes. When they sent her away to Zootopia, they gave her fox repellent incase a fox attacked her. They told her repeatedly that it is in the foxes’ DNA to be savage and to attack. Although Judy says that she doesn't believe in any of her parents beliefs, she still shows signs of prejudice toward the fox population. For example, when she leaves her apartment, she doesn't take the fox repellent spray but then quickly runs back inside and grabs it. Also, she immediately suspects that Nick is up to something suspicious when she sees him for the first time entering the ice cream shop. Lastly, she even reaches …show more content…
From the very first scene at play at Judy’s school this idea is brought up. Judy says in the play that predators in the past had certain DNA which caused them to be savages. Also, Judy’s parents mention to her that foxes have certain DNA which causes them to be savage. Judy tries to not cave in to these ideological ideas but they are definitely present. The prey certainly think that they are superior to the predators because they don't possess the DNA that makes them go savage. The ideological racism is definitely seen when Judy holds her press conference and tells the media that the reason predator are going savage is because they posses certain DNA that makes them crazy. This statement by Hops is what destroys the whole city and makes the prey very prejudice to the predators. They truly believe that they are superior because of their

Janie’s grandmother was a slave. She was raped by one of her owners, that is how she got pregnant with Janie’s mother. Janie’s mother, Leafy, was raped by a teacher, which made her pregnant with Janie only at age 17. Their whole background is men taking advantage over the women, and then not caring about them, mainly because they don’t care to see them again. When Janie is 16, she is gradually beginning to learn things about sex. Her grandma pronounces her a woman, and when an older man named Logan Killicks is interested in marrying Janie, “Nanny” marries them at their house, and then they
There is no doubt that Miss. Strangeworth is not an easy person to deal with, let alone live with, and although her character is fictional, there are many people with the same personality. We can tell quite easily that she is a very meticulous woman, with a lot of perfectionist tendencies, a few of which are to nitpick people’s lives and make sure that even the most minute detail is up to her standards. I know of someone with these attributes and as difficult as they are to deal with, with their list of requirements to be met and their eagle-eye for detail in even the smallest things, they mean the best, and are always trying to help, despite the possible repercussions.
In Great Expectations, Pip is set up for heartbreak and failure by a woman he trusts, identical to Hamlet and Gertrude, but Pip is rescued by joe who pushes Pip to win the love of his life. Similar to Gertrude in Hamlet Miss Havisham becomes a bystander in Pip’s life as she initiates the play that leads to heartbreak several times and she watches Pip’s life crumble due to her teachings. The next quote shows Miss Havisham explaining to Pip the way she manipulated his love Estella to break his heart every time. “‘but as she grew, and promised to be very beautiful, I gradually did worse, and with my praises, and with my jewels, and with my teachings… I stole her heart away and put ice in its place’” (Dickens, 457). This quote makes it clear the Miss Havisham set Hamlet up for failure by making him fall for a woman he could never have.

There are many racists’ people in the novel. The story has people that definitely had racism in their younger years, such as the butcher, but by the end of the book they are not directly being racist. They still make jokes and comments, but have ‘matured’.
“…we’ll both claim we want to die. But we’ll mean: Please someone convince us to stick around… Because last night, we stood on top of fourteen floors of suffering—from the maternity to the morgue. Hundreds of bed buckling beneath the weight of legitimate illness, thousands of plastic sacks of donated blood—we stood above all of it and did not leap” (38). The meaningful words of Eireann Corrigan speak volumes about her past experience growing up with an eating disorder. In her memoir she highlights many ideas of how she felt through not only her experiences, but also those of her boyfriend, Danny. The various poetic devices present within the story come together to create a deep and meaningful novel. Eireann Corrigan, author of the memoir, You
People always say never judged a person by their cover, yet some of us still do it without even trying sometimes. I have done this on multiple occasions without really trying to judge a person. I once had an experience where I was trying out for a new club team and I saw this girl who looked really mean and scary because of the expression on her face. I always thought if I ever talk to her she would be mean, but one practice we started to talk and she wasn’t at all the person I thought she ways. It turns out that she is a nice person who just takes soccer very seriously. This just shows that we can have a certain opinion on someone by their looks, but they may be completely opposite from the way they appear.There’s this book call “Freak the Mighty” which has a good way of showing the theme of not judging a person
Barbara Jordan, who is a leader of the Civil Rights movement, once believed “we, as human beings must be willing to accept people who are different from ourselves.” Discrimination is a topic often found in the literature and is discussed in the novel, To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, a documentary trailer My So-Called Enemy directed by Lisa Gossels and a short-story “What of this Goldfish, Would You Wish?” by Etgar Keret. Those who believe that accepting others from different racial backgrounds will make the world a better place; meanwhile, there are others who refuse to accept others or being disagreed with the quotes of Barbara Jordan, they think the opposite direction of the people who are agreed with the quotes. I agree with Barbara Jordan that we, as a human beings, can accept others who are different than ourselves because we are sharing a common root of the Mother Earth; thus, we can learn to treat others with kindness and respect, and be more understanding of the differences in others.

Specific elements of the storyline that display the theme racism include: the display of animalistic treatment, enforced religious practices, and historical comparisons. The film reveals the overarching government belief that the white race is smarter and purer, to the inferior, uncivilized and misguided, darker-skinned, Aboriginals. This belief is demonstrated throughout the film and signifies the government’s attitudes toward the half-caste race as: uncivilized animals that need a trainer to discipline them. For example, the film shows the girls being transported like livestock to th...
Ever dreamed of something that only money can buy? One person I can say I wanted to meet was Judy Garland. She was an American singer and actor. Ms. Garland was a famous person during her time. She played the leading role in “The Wizards of the Oz “as Dorothy Gale’’ (Walter, The Advocate). Ms. Garland was a woman who knows how to use her words. For example, Judy Garland said,” I can live without money, but I cannot live without love.” (Tew). This direct quote informs the audience about losing someone you cannot live without with direct words and an underlying meaning.
