The pink ribbon is known worldwide for being tied to breast cancer awareness. Awareness is effective because people
cancer victim, a victim constantly bombarded by pink ribbon culture and the overwhelmingly positive attitude that comes with it, she shows how America’s “retreat from real life drama and tragedy of human events is suggestive of a deep helplessness at the core of positive thinking” (Ehrenreich 59).

With all the campaigns, pink products, and corporate sponsorships that the movement
In a time where cancer is quite common it is no wonder that there has become a normalization towards female cancer patients. The normalization of cancer in females can be broken down by what we call the pink ribbon campaign complex.

This normalization has reached to a point where it can be seen in marketing products

Ribbon There once was a ribbon. Her name was Ribbon, as plain as the decorative object that she was. Ribbon was very vain and liked to get up every morning from her place in the sewing basket full of odds and ends.

She runs her fingertips over her bun to secure loose tendrils of gold hair. A few loose hairs stick up at the top of her forehead as she tries desperately to lay them down. She gives up with an exasperated huff of air. Her hands shake as she places her size 6, custom crafted, pale pink ballet slippers next
France 1928-1929) Corbusier created a building based upon his principles of architecture, and the idea of the house as a machine for living. These programmatic elements yielded a simple building that followed his five points of architecture (peloti, ribbon windows, a roof garden, free façade, and free plan). The way in which he composes these elements and ultimately how he represents the building are what make this a truly interesting piece of architecture, instead of a place for storing hay (as the

Hardy, in his portrayal of Tess as "The Maiden," begins with the May Day Dance, where Tess has yet to develop her beauty but wears a red ribbon in her hair, the only girl to do so in the train of "white-frocked maids." The ribbon signifies what she has that the other girls do not: an inner beauty which will win her-much against her will-the affections of men. At the sight of her father singing on his way home, the other girls begin

the shop entrance. My hair just as stiff as a bad knee when it’s raining outside, flyways going in multiple directions and bobby pins hanging for dear life onto strands of hair. It was definitely time for me to get my hair done. I opened the pink spray painted back door, and was flooded with scents of Moroccan and citrus smelling hair products. As I walked through the narrow hallway that had hair balls scattered all over the floor, I was warmly greeted with a, “Hey girl!” from my hairstylist

Concentrating on the portrayal of dystopia and the diction that is used to describe it, as well as the repetitive imagery of the color pink, the reader can detect the dark and dreary tone at a more critical level. Neuromancer continuously represents a dystopia, which is a "bad place", in the setting. This is in contrast to a utopia, which represents a dream world. Neuromancer's settings

For example, pink, the color of innocence, portrays the initial morality of the boys. The color black suggests evil and savagery.
