in 2012 in Oakland, California by Stanford engineer Debbie Sterling. Debbie took notice that in this day and age there are less women engineers, and that most of the toys that focus on construction or engineering of sorts were marketed and aimed at boys. To increase the amount of women in her field, she figured she would have to start at the root of the issue, which is introducing the idea to little girls at a young age. By doing so, this would tap into the creative mind of young girls and get them

Rapping the Blues: The Similarities of hip-hop and the blues Hip-hop is one of the major music genres of today like the blues were in the 1950's. Stanley Crouch views hip-hop as being vulgar and obscene while he sees the blues as being one of the classic music genres. In actuality, these two genres are similar in many ways. A very important part of Stanley Crouch's life is his love for the blues. Many of his essays are related to or have aspects of the blues contained within them. Crouch
The movie “Rize” by David LaChapelle involves dancing style called krumping. This movie/ documentary has clowns krumping. Apparently when this documentary was filmed, clowns and krumping was a huge thing at the time. Krumping is a hip hop style that is characterized by aggravation or anger with the movement of arms and legs. When people krump, it may seem like they are hitting each other but that is not true. They pretend to hit each other to give off an angry effect. If a person has never heard
The boys are rescued as their foolish cruelty reaches its apex by the loving, caring, and matured outside world. On the other hand, by whom and what are the boys rescued? Symbolically, the "happy ending" is exactly the opposite. Far from sacrificing artistic excellence, Golding's ending confirms the author's powerful symbolism. Readers know ample about the boys society and where it heads long before the "rescue." Ralph will be killed and to remain a perpetual gift to the "beastie." The boys' xenophobic
Golding’s novel, Lord of the Flies, is the perfect allegory to man’s inherent evilness. A group of boys, British students, comprised of children who are approximately in their middle childhood gets marooned on a desert island somewhere in a remote area of the Pacific Ocean after their plane crashed. The boys are the only survivors. Except for a musical choir, led by a certain Jack Merridew, the boys have never met each other and have no established leadership. “The book portrays their descent into
Le Poidevin is interviewing William Golding about his book, Lord Of The Flies. Leanne: Good afternoon Mr. Golding. Mr Golding:Good afternoon to you. Leanne:As we all know, Lord of the flies is about lots of boys trapped on an island. What was the reason of putting just boys on the island? Why were there no girls? Mr Golding:At the time of the book, it was the war. Fighting and arguing was going on around us, and it seemed as though nobody was really sane anymore. It started off as
Fun and Murder in Lord of the Flies Lord of the Flies is a story of hardships, death and ultimately, survival. The island on which the boys are on presented many difficulties. In this situation, there was no time for fun and games, work was much more important. The group consisted completely of pre-pubescent young boys and the thing that destroyed their democratic ways was the allure of having lots of fun, swimming, feasts and other enjoyable activities. If the splitting of the groups, i.e when
that the boys have already begun to divide into two groups. When Ralph calls the first meeting the boys have together by summoning them with a conch shell, he decides they should vote on a leader. A boy named Jack Merridew thinks that he should be the chief because he is "chapter chorister and head boy." (22) Another boy nominates Ralph for leader, because he is the one that called for the meeting. When it comes time to vote, the choir members vote for Jack, while all the other boys vote for
nature testing his boundaries. The fear being incited by minor characters like the boy with the mulberry birthmark that speaks of “the beastie, A snake like thing. Ever so big” (34) that could hurt them and poses threats to their survival, strikes fear in their hearts, though it has not been seen in detail. The fear felt by each individual is increasing by the fear surrounding them. The little ’uns who nudge the other boy forwards are already afraid and their fear escalates from the threat. Fear is generated

A young boy who is learning how to swim notices her desperate need for a rescue, but is too hesitant to do anything due to his fear of deep water. He then realizes that he does not want a young girl to die just because no one was able to come to her rescue, and
Commonly accepted is the idea that girls are more successful in lingual and artistic subjects, and that boys are more successful in S.T.E.M programming (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), within these stereotypes there has been a push for more S.T.E.M educational programming specifically for girls to encourage less of a gender gap. We do not see this push for arts programming with boys, and the assumption remains. With this comes a gap in expectation and does not benefit male students trying
Stephen King once said, “People think I am a strange person. This is not correct. I have the heart of a small boy. It is in a glass jar on my desk.” This quote seems fine at the beginning but has a startling ending. This relates to a very significant element in stories meant to scare us: transformation. The most compelling part of this element is transformation in people or characters. There are incredible examples of this in the stories Frankenstein, The Fall of the House of Usher, and The
Joyces Araby A love sick, or obsessed, boy? Or a little bit of both? Either way, James Joyce's story, Araby, is about growing up, and how things do not always turn out how we would like, or expect them to. The main character, a young boy, seems to be about twelve or thirteen years of age. He lives on a dead end street with his aunt and uncle in the Irish city of Dublin. The author is constantly using imagery to convey how mundane the young boys life is, and how dark it is living in Dublin

The Boys Who Cried Wolf: A Plunge Through History The Boy Who Cried Wolf is a common fable known to all but little know of the underlying significance of its message. From Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, dealing with the onset of McCarthyism at the time, McCarthyism itself, and the current political climate, unfounded accusations have been used to gain power and shift blame in the time of crisis throughout history. Simply put, boy’s cry wolf and the people come running. In The Crucible, many characters
