Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is a Netflix original series that has likability for almost everyone with its humor and reality. The series centers around Kimmy, a woman who spent fifteen years of her life imprisoned in an underground bunker by a priest who convinced her and three other women that the world had ended. After the release from the bunker is where the show originates. Kimmy comes to New York to be interviewed for a television show, and ends up making a split second decision to start her life over again and live there. Where the show currently ends, Kimmy is in the middle of a complicated relationship and is looking to the future in hopes of more romantic changes. If she were to become a mother in the future, it is plausible that the …show more content…
people that she has interacted with thus far help shape her identity, and assist in developing characteristics that will influence how she will be involved in her children's’ lives. We are introduced to three individuals, Lillian, Titus, and Jacqueline. Lillian is Kimmy’s landlord, and Titus is her roommate. As with any good television show, initially there is conflict between Titus and Kimmy, until Kimmy proves herself to Titus through her critical thinking to get him out of a horrible job situation. Lillian is depicted as an eccentric older woman who, while a little batty at times, develops a bit of a motherly influence onto Kimmy. It’s not a large quantity that one might expect as far as a motherly influence is typically depicted, however it fits well within the show. The main trait that Lillian is able to further nurture in Kimmy is passion. Lillian is passionate about everything that she spends her time on. She routinely advocates for the community that she lives in. From this, Kimmy is able to understand to focus her time on what matters to her, not to try and be the best at everything. The one character who seems to have everything is Jacqueline, the wife of a wealthy man that rarely comes home. She employs Kimmy to be a caretaker of her children. From this experience of handing her children off to a stranger, Jacqueline inadvertently teaches Kimmy how not to be a mother. The way that Jacqueline handles her children is the only way that she knows, using a very hands off approach and delegating responsibility to others. While in the bunker, Kimmy seemed to take on a large responsibility of caring for the mental well being of the other women. Setting her side by side with Jacqueline, we can see that Kimmy has more of these nurturing tendencies at the ready. From backstories, it is revealed that Jacqueline is from a Native American family and was well cared for throughout her childhood. Kimmy spent her formative years in seclusion with three other women, and not experiencing the normal experiences and milestones that an average person would. Due to this seclusion, it is probable that Kimmy would be an outstanding mother.
The seclusion that she endured taught her to make a bright light out of every situation. Translating this to motherhood, she would be more apt to give attention to all moments in the development and growth of her children. This may range from documenting everything with photo shoots, to celebrating each holiday to the maximum. Birthdays would be a high point of celebration. It is one committed day every year to shower each person with a celebration just for them. For both future sons and daughters, Kimmy would likely go above and beyond a family celebration and make sure that the details were thought out to make the celebration as complete and fulfilling as …show more content…
possible. Kimmy would not be one to pursue perfection as she has seen how that destroyed Jacqueline’s life.
In her short time that she was with Jacqueline, she sees that planning a birthday party was something that she was great at, but the fact that it was not perfect made Jacqueline ungrateful and rude. If Kimmy was planning a birthday party for her son or daughter, the selection of the theme would probably be whatever they wanted; she would not try to control it. However, when they were young, she would most likely pick it and choose something meaningful and fun. For a girls party, two options would be luau or safari themed. These are not typical girl birthday party themes, as they don’t necessarily involve “girl colors” and sparkles. Instead these themes show positive and individually empowering messages. They let kids make connections with nature, and get experiences they routinely see on shows and in books. She would most likely use a large quantity of balloons to appeal to the kids, as well as for her own delight. Another structure she would easily be able to create would be a tiki stand to serve her refreshments at. Food nourishes the soul, and with Kimmy’s background, she tries to give comfort to everyone possible. Feeding people is an easy way to take care of others. The puns and humor represented in specifically the food labeling are something that Kimmy would especially love, and is so simple to do. It is also imaginative for the kids to make the connections between the food
and the label. Both imaginative and practical themes for boys are construction and superheroes. The details that go into both are bright and fun, and easy to accomplish. They are enjoyable for both adults and children to understand. Construction is a typical theme, but may have a deeper meaning for Kimmy. It may represent the assembling of multiple things and teamwork to achieve a bigger goal. Superheros are also all about enabling others to be their best self and empowering others. They are passionate about what they do, just how Lillian taught Kimmy to be. Kimmy is all about color. Her wardrobe is a complex combination of colors and patterns. Superheros have a large affinity for color that draws you in. Kimmy’s wardrobe draws you in to her, and additionally gives you an outward hint to her personality. Costumes for contemporary shows are typically harder to develop, as consumers of media make judgements of the characters based on what they are depicted in (Barsam 188). After school crafts that Kimmy may complete with her children would be creative, and useful for more than one experience. As having a childhood where things were reused and they didn’t have a lot during their time underground, so what they did had to be multi purposeful. If the kids made bookmarks, then they could be used in books that Kimmy reads to them. Flubber is a messy activity that is definitely fun and hands on, but can be played with over and over. Another option would be glitter globes, that the kids could fill with whatever they wanted and use as a time out tool. They could shake the globes when they get frustrated, and wait in time out until they settle down. By doing this they would be attached From her first moment outside of the bunker until she will ultimately bear children, Kimmy has grown incredibly from her life experiences and the people that she has come in contact with (Bullock 14). The choices that she makes for her children’s day to day activities
The first element of the rhetorical structure and possibly the strongest in this documentary is pathos. Pathos refers to the emotion exhibited throughout the documentary. Food, Inc. is filled with an array of colors, sounds, stories, and images that all appeal to emotion. Miserable images of cows being slaughtered with dark music in the background, pictures of industrial factories with no sun and unhappy workers, and even a depressing and eye-opening home video of a young boy who was killed by the disease as a result of bad food were all portrayed throughout Food, Inc. Barbara Kowalcyk, mother of the late Kevin, is an advocate for establishing food standards with companies throughout the nation. When asked about her sons death, she replied, “To watch this beautiful child go from being perfectly healthy to dead in 12 days-- it was just unbelievable that this could happen from eating food.” (Food, Inc.) Obviously very devastated and still heartbroken over her loss, Kowalcyk fought
In the narrative “Food Is Good” author Anthony Bourdain humorously details the beginning of his journey with food. Bourdain uses lively dialogue with an acerbic style that sets his writing apart from the norm. His story began during his childhood and told of the memories that reverberated into his adulthood, and consequently changed his life forever. Bourdain begins by detailing his first epiphany with food while on a cruise ship traveling to France. His first food experience was with Vichyssoise, a soup served cold.
In one section of “Men and Women’s Studies: Premises, Perils, and Promise,” Michael Kimmel discusses how men have helped women to gain equal rights within the educational system (Kimmel, 26). He explains that as pro-feminists, men who made efforts to understand feminism and support women, as well as implement equal rights for women, realized the importance of women’s education (Kimmel, 26). According to his essay, many American men, as well as women, helped to create an educational system for women, which was seen as a “revolt” against inequality and the subordination of women (Kimmel, 26-27). Kimmel argues that pro-feminists tried to provide an opportunity for every woman to study; one such example is Henry Durant, an American pro-feminism activist, who established Wellesley College for
Thus, food is not only a means to satisfy Naoe’s hunger, but there are further connotations associated with it. In scholar Heather Latimer’s view, eating signifies a form of psychological transformation for Naoe, which goes beyond “the consumption of just food.” Basically, Naoe’s connection with traditional food traces her back to her roots in Japan, where she spent her childhood. Food represents a sense of familiarity for Naoe, who’s immigration to Canada and eating “western” food has caused her to break ties with her background and to forget what she knows.

Charlie takes great comfort at home as a child, he has the freedom to manage his own life and observe others from a distance. Life at home is “a piece of cake” for Charlie. His description of life as “a piece of cake” (195) shows the softness and leniency of his surroundings. Charlie feels satisfied at home he creates a routine, a recipe...
Eating and drinking is not only a necessity, but also a pleasure. Humans have known and experienced this since the beginning of man. Food plays a very important part in everybody’s daily life. However, the role of food in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s work The Great Gatsby and John Steinbeck’s novel The Grapes of Wrath vary immensely. The complexity and need for sustenance differ between the books, but both reflect the events, viewpoints, and attitudes of the time periods they are set in.
Famous respected London scientist Henry Jekyll is a handsome and courteous man. Knowing that, all human beings have double sides evil and good in nature, he desires to develop a chemical system of detaching these double personalities in order to let one side from two sides to enjoy pleasure without blaming the other side to remain for a longer time constant and not be provoked by the other side.

So at end Henry Jekyll is no longer available as he dies and only Edward Hyde stays.
...od bond as well as a Vietnamese society and food. symbolism through the motif of food in the connections in the book, the author has gotten the message out that no matter what you're going to do or how bad the situation is, family, relationships, and bonds between people are very important, and you would be nothing without your family and friends. It is a great blessing to our family and friends, but the love they give you. A quote from Dan Wilcox "I don't care how poor a man is, if he has his family, he's rich." and I completely agree with this quote because as shown through the novel with or without symbolism of food, you would be nowhere without the love from your family and friends.

Shakespeare’s work has been adapted throughout the ages, these adaptations can be found in almost every popular show and movie. One recent and quite popular television show that has Shakespearian elements is Breaking Bad. This show is a dark drama of Walter White a man who has lung cancer that becomes a drug kingpin to provide for his family after he dies, along the way he picks up a high school drop out as a sidekick, Jesse Pinkman. Walter and Jesse become the Iago and Othello in this variation, Walter’s deceitful and manipulative ways prove to indeed constantly manipulate Jesse to do his bidding. Shockingly similar to the way Iago manipulates Othello; these parallels between Breaking Bad and Othello become more and more clear with explanation and analysis.
In February 2010, a remarkable chef and speaker, Jamie Oliver, presented himself to a TED (Technology, Education, Design) audience as ruthlessly real and charismatic. In his speech, “Teach Every Child about Food” he shares powerful stories of his anti-obesity project and makes the case for an all-out assault on our ignorance of food. Jaime Oliver’s speech aims to alter the perspective of Americans and their decisions about food and its effects. Since then, Oliver’s TED talk has been viewed across the nation and brought a reality to the issue with food education. Jamie Oliver successfully utilizes ethos, logos, and pathos to portray his belief that without the use of food education, America and its children will fall under the weight of its own obesity.

There are movies that make you laugh, that make you cry, that blow you away with jaw-dropping, ever-so-satisfying action sequences. And there is Pulp Fiction, Quentin Tarantino’s masterpiece, an homage to the old Pulp Magazines and crime novels popular in the 1950s. Known for their incredibly dense and complex dialogue and excessive violence, Tarantino adds his trademark nonlinear chronology and thorough character development to create a movie that celebrates the fact that chance governs all of our lives. The film consists of multiple stories that tell of the criminals, gangsters and outliers of Los Angeles, the underbelly of society. It follows Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield as they embark on their mission to recovering a briefcase that

In her book Semiotics and Communication: Signs, Codes, Cultures, Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz describes the wide use of food as signs, and also as social codes. The reason foods are so useful as signs and social codes is because they are separable, easily adaptive to new environments, and it is not difficult to cook, or eat for that matter. Food is a major part of our daily lives, Not only for survival, but it plays a substantial social role in our lives. We will look deeper into the semiotics of food, how food is used as identity markers, and also the role that foods play in social change in our lives. First let us start with the semiotics of food.
