The fact that she had a son later reveals the unfair gender roles of the child, compared to the idea of if she had a daughter. By choice, the Third Princess became a nun and it’s believed by the Japanese that “a girl might seem to invite bad luck [if] the mother is a nun. But with a boy it makes no difference.” (Tale of Genji, pg. 648) Through superstition, the gender of a child coming into an Aristocratic heritage makes all the difference for the future of the family. A daughter would have had different requirements growing up and it was believed that the family might have been cursed with bad luck because the mother became a Nun.

The first greatest enemies of Native Americans during this same time our own Government. The earliest film stereotyping the Native Americans by Thomas Edison (1894) a movie titled “Ghost Dance,” one movie in a series of short films in Kinectoscopes about the Pueblo People. The poorly done editing depicted a demeaning, negative stereotyping of the Indian Nations. This opened up how the film industry would traditionally portray the Native Americans for many years. “Last of the Mohicans” by James Fenmore Cooper in the 1920 film version, depicted two brothers, Hawkeye, white being raised by the Mohicans.
The scenes of the movie were “hackneyed scenes” as he says. There were repetitions of old movie scenes that are very generic in sci-fi fantasy movies. The infamous moments of crossing an almost destroyed bridge and the bridge collapsing as soon as everyone is across safely and degrading insults during mid battle. Pinkerton compliments the makeup department’s glommed-on plague pustules. However, the CGI demon they used was a lame cut and paste from a PC game called Diablo ll.
The revolution between the renaissance and 20th century USA has impacted the society of the teenagers through language, gender roles, relationships and education. Ten things I hate about you retain the basic plot of Williams Shakespeare Taming of the Shrew. Both create a storyline of a father with two daughters manufacturing a rule of the younger sister not interacting with male counterparts until the older sister does. In taming of the shrew Bianca is unable to marry her suitors until Katherina the “shrew” becomes wedded. In ten things being a film about teenagers in society marriage is not socially acceptable at that age unlike the 16th century.
As I mentioned before, the play and the film have really similar plots. For example, in the play the newcomer to Padua Lucentio wishes to wed the sweet natured Bianca but cannot until Bianca’s elder sister Katherine is married. So he disguises himself as a Latin tutor (Cambio) to be able to woo her. Meanwhile, he confers with a strange character by the name of Petruchio. Petruchio agrees to marry Katherine, solely for her dowry.
Reality Television Critique After suffering a brutal hour of ridiculously cheesy, and fake commercials, as well as a tedious television program, I have learned more than ever how much I despise reality television shows and all that go with them. I used up my hour watching the Maury Povich show on KTVU. The theme of this particular program was young women who were particularly unattractive as children, and then smoking hot, sexy ten’s, as they grew older. These “ugly” young women were all ditched on their childhood dates or proms for other more attractive girls. These girls talked about being teased continuously, as well as not having many friends because of their apparent hideousness.
When his most loved daughter comments on her sister’s reactions about his wishes, he then begins to go insane after irrationally separating his land between two of his three daughters based on their charm bringing terrible consequences for everyone. I would say that’s Lear’s first mistake; separating power and responsibility. His two eldest daughters are prepared to be in control of their own lives (age wise) but not necessarily mature enough. A reason of immaturity from the daughters that Lear didn’t notice was how fond they were of him when he declared his wanting, therefore, they aren’t ready to rule a kingdom. They allowed their father to act as if he is still in charge.
Alicia abuses her power and makes numerous attempts to stop Alec from seeing Jerry. She forbids him from spending time with Jerry. She brings him to Greece to put distance between them.
