"I had no one to love me, or to make me respected, to enable me to acquire respect. I was an egg dropped on the sand, a pauper by nature." Schönfelder, 9. This quote represents the challenge the protagonist Sunny from "Rihannaboi 95," by Jordan Tannahill, faces from his family on his journey towards self-discovery. Tannahill delves into how individuals struggle to uncover their authentic selves but are restricted due to their families' ideologies and expectations. He also explores the theme of personal identity through the main character, Sunny, whose journey of self-discovery by posting YouTube videos is constrained due to the strain of obligations. With motivation from his teacher, Bailey, Sunny embarks on a path to unveil his true identity despite his family's disapproval, showcasing …show more content…
Tannahill introduces Sunny as profoundly isolated in his family, emphasizing his yearning for individuality. Moreover, how his family behaves towards him exemplifies his challenges in respecting them. For instance, Sunny first introduces his family to his audience, saying, ""Sunny, you're a girl-boy," Don't stand like that, don't talk like that, you embarrass us, "Be a man," be more like King"" (Tannahill, 18) alongside "I'm like a bad smell in the room everyone tries to ignore." (Tannahill, 18) Hence, his family envisions Sunny to be more like his brother King, implying a certain standard and behavior, further highlighting how unrealistic and damaging their expectations place on him. Another example of this standard is when his parents tell him, "Don't be such a baby, you don't hear king whining like this!" Tannahill, 19, complains about their lack of attention to him. Sunny's family attempting to impose traditional expectations and values onto him will end up conflicting with his emerging sense of identity as they do not want to see him as an individual but as a shadow of

Jodi Arias was born on July 9th,1980 in Salinas, California. Jodi said that she was an abused child because her parents would hit her with wooden spoons and belts. This abuse apparently began when she was 7-years-old. Arias was interested in photography since she was 10-years-old and her interest continued through her adult life. Jodi Arias went to Yreka Union High School and dropped out her junior year. In 2001 Darryl Brewer trained Arias for her new job as a server. By the year 2003 Brewer and Arias were dating and living in a house together. In 2006 Arias started working for prepaid legal and started joining church services and became baptized. In the same year she told Brewer she no longer wanted a physical relationship with him because she wanted to practice what she learned at the church and save herself for marriage.
Whitney Houston to most was a very amazing and talented person who allowed life and its mishaps break her down. As a young girl she grew up in the church where she felt like it was a sign from God that she should be singing. Freud believes that religion is an illusion, an attempt to gain control over the external world. In his eyes saying that anything is a sign from God depends on how you vision life. There were times in her life where she would produce more music just to get thru the thing that she would be going through. She would use her music as a defense mechanism to get away from all of the abuse, problems with her marriage, neglect, and drugs. Defense mechanisms are ways to distort reality to reduce anxiety: Rationalization is giving a positive reason to a stressor and regression is withdrawing from reality and going to pastime.
In today’s world, celebrities are often misunderstood, especially singer/songwriter Robin Rihanna Fenty, referred to as Rihanna. Rihanna’s sexual behaviors in her videos have been talked about in negative ways for some time now, but what [eople do not understand is that it is all for fame. Celebrities will do anything to keep their career going strong. If one really took the time out to take a deep look at Rihanna, they will notice how humble she really is. After going through the abusive relationship with Chris Brown, Rihanna has struggled with gaining that strong confidence with who she is. Her critics believe that she is still trying to discover herself and figure out who she really is as a person.

In the song “S&M,” Rihanna was really exposing herself to the crowd, as well as “Good Girl, Gone Bad.” She is basically telling the crowd that this is the person she is, but is it really? For my original piece I will be creating a journal, expressing the feelings Rihanna felt as she overcomes her struggles. Rihanna’s sexual behaviors in her videos are really all for fame and therefore, are easily misunderstood.
