Feminist film theorist Laura Mulvey (1975) states that “in their traditional exhibitionist role, women are simultaneously looked at and displayed, with their appearance coded for strong visual and erotic impact so that they can be said to connote to-be-looked-at-ness.” While women have evolved in the horror genre from being helpless to becoming successful, the victimization of women still exists, and with this role comes sexualization. ‘Supernatural’ is known for its many female characters that are stereotyped as the damsels in distress who crave sexual attention. Cassie Robinson, a woman of colour from Dean Winchester’s past who calls for his help after the murder of her father in “Route 666” (season 1 episode 13), is probably the most stereotypical example of this. Dean came to help Cassie and found that people of colour were being killed by the vengeful spirit of racist white man Cyrus Dorian. The only times we see Cassie are when she is in scenes with Dean; she is reduced to a romantic and sexual relationship with the male …show more content…
Clover developed the “final girl” theory, which refers to the last woman alive to confront the killer or to tell the story. Clover states that the killer’s victims are ‘always young and beautiful ones’ and “she is intelligent, watchful, level-headed”. She also suggested that the audience shares the perception of the killer throughout the story, yet slowly develops identification with the final girl. Jo Harvelle is an example of a countertypical approach to the female victim in ‘Supernatural’ and she is indeed our final girl. Although Sam and Dean are our protagonists, it could be argued that Jo Harvelle is our female protagonist in “No Exit” (season 2 episode 6). Jo is the one to put together a case on the murders of six young blonde women in an apartment building in Philadelphia, which comes as a surprise to Sam and Dean. She is also young, blonde and beautiful herself, immediately showing the characteristics of a final girl in
Many people say that you must have plenty in common with someone in order to be their best friend. However, in the novel Finnie Walsh by Steven Galloway, this is not the case. Finnie and Paul have a few things in common, such as their passion for hockey, but they were (for the most part) complete opposites. Paul's family has a struggle with money throughout the duration of the novel, while Finnie's family is quite wealthy. After Mr.Woodward's accident, Finnie is struggling to escape the guilt; meanwhile, Paul is able to let it go. Finnie is a risk taker along with being very outgoing; but on the contrary, Paul is very timid and takes everything in stride. Paul and Finnie have few things in common;
1) When evaluating the opportunity for Heather Evans it is important to analyze the situation from a few perspectives. From an industry perspective there is ample opportunity for her to succeed. The barriers to entry are quite low with no clear market leader and even the largest companies do not have high relative market share. Her concept appears to provide her with some differentiation and that will help to position her products to a target segment of the market. The industry growth rate is a strong 10%; however customer retention will be a challenge. Evans does not seem to have the requisite experience or network in the industry to embark on a solo venture. In all, there is an opportunity for a designer with a strong business plan to be

In the article "GSW" Courtney Moreno states the patient was a GSW: gunshot wound. The patient's information was unknown so he was referred as John Doe. He was heavily tattooed so they assumed he was a gang member. The Police arrived and were on scene much sooner than the EMTs were. They didn't call it in because they thought he was dead. While they were looking for clues towards the case, they noticed the patient was still alive. The piece of his mind that controlled his breathing remained, amazingly, in place. They rushed him to the ER. They then knew this was a case of a dying man. The patient passed away in the ER. Moreno's partner didn’t think he was worth saving. Moreno didn't think it was their decision whether someone dies or not. After

Rachel Botsman’s theory of collaborative consumption is made up of different systems that interact within the different social systems of social work individually and simultaneously. The idea of collaborative consumption is a way for individuals to swap, barter, rent, and purchase items from the convenience of their home or while on the go (2010). From a micro system, Botsman is referring to the individuals who are actively participating in collaborative consumption. By bringing individuals together on a micro level in order to share resources, Botsman’s theory demonstrates how people can work together. Whereas, from a mezzo system Botsman’s theory works to bring any small group together under some common ground. An example of a mezzo system

The story is of a teenage girl who is chosen to be the next Slayer, endowed with supernatural strength in order to aide her on her quest, because: “In every generation there is a Chosen One. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer”("Welcome to the Hellmouth"). In this series, the Slayer is known as Buffy Summers, and the series follows her as she faces one apocalypse after another, graduating school, dealing with boys and life and death and all the issues that one expects to arise from a coming of age series. What makes Buffy unique is that unlike the rest of the Slayers from the generations before her, she has a collection of friends who help her answer her calling, and together, they create an enthralling cast that keeps the viewers coming back to relive each episode. Feminists have hailed Buffy as being one of the most prominent series that deals with feminist issues and provides viewers with a strong female figurehead; others, however, look at the show with a more critical eye, wondering just what kind of feminism and feminist ideals are being portrayed in the series. This paper will touch upon most of these ideas, yet for now, the focus will be on the character of Buffy herself. .

Louise Mallard is Kate Chopin short story's protagonist. As noted earlier, Louise has a heart trouble during the time when her friends are to break her husband's death news to her. She reacts to the news despite her heart condition with a flood of grief. She quickly retreats to her room which indicates repressiveness which she is accustomed to. She briefly feels guilt out of experiencing joy at the freedom which is brought by the death of her husband. She is later faced with some complex mix of love and resentment emotions which are elicited by the thoughts of Brently's tenderness with absolute control of her life from her husband. She ultimately welcomes her independence which she has newly found and then takes on the newly self-possessed individual's life. This essay will emphasize my argument on how the story shows some aspect of mental change in character, and I will identify where this starts in the character, what happens to cause the change, what the change is, and the consequences of this change for the character.
