...Marcela Ramirez Professor Leverton English 1113 February 20, 2015 Claudia Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Claudia. Claudia was a small Native American who lived with her family and other families in the forest. She loved the forest and the forest loved her too. All of the forest animals were her friends and she always played with them. Her best friends were the beavers, especially one that she named Todd and a firefly named Zoe. Todd could talk but Zoe could not. Claudia liked to talk with them and asked them for opinions, they went everywhere together. Claudia’s dream was to become a Native American warrior, just like her father. However, becoming a warrior would be difficult because only boys could become warriors and go to war. Even though Claudia knew that, she saved the hope that when she grew up her tribe would allow her to become a warrior and fight for their rights. Time flew and Claudia had become a beautiful young woman ready to become a warrior. Claudia’s father had taught her how to ride a horse and use tools such as spears, bows and arrows, and all kind of knives. Girls usually did not learn those skills but Claudia’s father believed everyone should know how to fight, even girls. Claudia was very skillful, she practice every night, along with Todd and Zoe, to better her skills. One day, a man arrived at Claudia’s house with bad news from the chieftain. The English colonists were invading Claudia’s tribe land so they would need to form an...

...The early history of the United States was characterized by a harsh separation between the subjugated and the oppressors. This system became interwoven into the nation’s culture, creating a dangerously racialized society that does not allow equality to exist. Racism, a term that first garnered attention in the mid-twentieth century, is regarded as a coordinated form of prejudices, stereotypes, and discrimination but is more all-compassing that any of these. Historically, racism was more prevalent and obvious but less disparaging to the victim that it is today. How then do we obliterate the centuries old racially stratified system that society is operating on today? Claudia Medrano, a second generation Mexican-American psychology major, helps...

...Taylor Pittman Professor HubbardLiba 102 sec. 497 December 2008 Mother of The West It goes without saying, that the Western film genre is a male dominated society. Often times the importance of female roles are shoved to the side for that of a mere sex symbol. In 1968’s Once Upon a Time in the West, director Sergio Leone opted to forgo that route and instead cast the iconic beauty Claudia Cardinale as the resilient Jill McBain. Through her steadfastness in times of immense adversity and creative symbolism, Leone develops Jill McBain as a mother to the new West. Director Sergio Leone wished to capture the audience the moment Jill is introduced in the film. As the camera pans over the train which carries Jill, jubilant background music can be heard. The score in this scene is a complete contrast to the sinister sounds which filled the opening scenes of bloodshed. Knowing the diligent attention Leone gave to sound, this song can be perceived as Jill’s theme, much in the same way as Harmonica. Jill is first shown smiling and looking over the train-yard and then gracefully helping herself down the steps. This one shot establishes Jill as a person who is eager to live somewhere new, boldly stepping down into the dust filled West while maintaining her pleasant disposition. As Jill begins to walk through the crowd she pays special attention to numerous types of people. Leone chose to include blacks, Native Americans, Union soldiers and young and old of all type of people in this...

...The focus is definitely on women, since the only man appearing on film is the captain of the boat they dive from. As Claudia Varejao presents three generations of women on the profession, she shows that despite their work being quite difficult, even more when considering that since their work is seasonal, they have to work on farms when they are not diving, they are quite happy, frequently laughing and enjoying their lives, both during their work and outside of it. Another point that becomes evident through various scenes in the film is their harmonic relationship with nature, and their spirituality, as exemplified by their frequent prayers. In that fashion, Varejao makes a clear statement regarding the importance of tradition, particularly in Japan, which, despite tits long history, moves rapidly towards modernism, leaving many of its traditions behind, particularly...

...women’s movement, women have proven to society that they are just as capable for the same roles that men perform. Within the short story “Victory” by Claudia Casper, one can see the similarities between male and female dominance and how society has created the image that women imitate male behaviour. The story takes place in 1967, where the Beatles was popular and the Vietnam war left a mark on people’s lives. It starts off with Claudia beating up Sharon Fink over a bracelet which she stole. After winning the fight, Claudia challenges a model named Cathy to a fight because she lied about being in a Sears catalogue. At this point, Claudia starts experiencing feelings about power and victory which relates to the main theme of dominant behaviour amongst females. Despite not agreeing with her actions, Claudia felt powerful when her classmates were chanting her name. Claudia as a woman, expresses her dominance in the same way as she expressed it over Cathy; she wore nice clothes to show her superiority over Cathy, which represents women in general and how they try to “peacock” to exert their dominance. This display is similar to how men exert their dominance in a different manner; while males generally fight using force, females tend to create a show to prove their control, and when that fails they can resort to violence. Claudia questions whether the media is correct in saying that women are adopting male characteristics and behaviour. One would believe that women have been influenced...

...According to “Earth Day” by Claudia Atticot and Alexandra Manning, “The average American produces more than four pounds of garbage per day.” A lot of the trash thrown away is recyclable. We throw away paper or plastic that could be used today. Our Earth is being trashed and Gaylord Nelson wanted to help it by having Earth Day to encourage people to recycle and make our world better. In fact, plastic is a big factor and part of all of the recycling trouble. According to the passage “Earth Day” by Claudia Atticot and Alexandra Manning, “In 2012 the U.S. produced 32 million tons of plastic. Only 9% was recovered from recycling.” If we had recycled more of that plastic, we could power a computer for 25 minutes. This shows that we can take trash...

...Claudia Gordon states in the end of the interview that “You control your life” she says that her life and experiences are proof of that. Claudia became deaf when she was eight years old. From my perspective that would be devastating to have been living her entire life hearing and to all of a sudden not be able to experience that. To make things worse she was pulled out of school for two years making it difficult for her to interact and connect with her peers. However, even though when she moved to the United States and was informed that her hearing could not be repaired she persevered. She moved on and then began to learn ASL so that she could communicate with the Deaf community. In the interview she discusses how she is drawn to people who...

...Analysis: “Late Wife” by Claudia Emerson “Late Wife” by Claudia Emerson is a book that contains a collection of poems focused on her struggle with being divorced, and starting a new life by herself. The book is separated in three parts: Divorce Epistles, Breaking up the House, and Late Wife, and each section shows Claudia dealing with a new problem. The separation of the poems made it easy to identify the theme patterns found in the collection. For every chapter there was theme to be centered around, it also helped that collection was in chronological order and in narrative writing, for the book starts by retelling the sadness on her mind when she was going through her divorce, then she makes a quick summary of her single life, and ends it with the struggle of being the second wife of a man who recently lost his wife. At the end, she admits that she finds happiness, but that her journey to be happy was rough yet worth it. The first section is “Divorce Epistles” and the theme of it is divorce. This chapter starts by showing the reader some flashbacks of how her marriage was like before the divorce and then it ends by showing what she did right afterwards. The first poem is “Aftermath” (5) and it is her reflection of her divorce she admits that she knew it was going to happen eventually. In these lines, “I confess that last house was the coldest I kept. In it, I became formless as fog, crossing / the walls, formless as your breath as it rose” (8), she was being ignored by her...

...Another allusion in The Bluest Eye is the dolls test performed by Kenneth Clark and Mamie Clark along with the Supreme Court case of Brown vs. The Board of Education. Clark interviewed children using four neutral dolls - two pink and two brown; the Clarks wanted to demonstrate how children understood the significance of race in America. By a wide majority, across the board, and in different areas, black and white children preferred the pink dolls over the brown. Some children pointed how the brown doll was “bad” and the white doll was “nice.” Based upon his test, Clark testified that school segregation distorted the minds of black children to the point of self-hate (Douglas) and that the children had internalized society’s racial hierarchy...
