In doing so, it displays the way our society has progressed to view women as physically capable as men. The importance of this idea cannot be overstated. The Force Awakens was a highly anticipated movie with a fan base that stretched around the world. Adults and children all know of Star Wars, and to depict the hero of the newest episode as a female sends strong messages to everyone. Little girls look up to Rey and feel inspired by her actions. Little boys who see a female as the hero will view her as their equal and respect her. The countries who still view women as lesser beings will see Rey’s strength and independence. While it may not urge them to act, it should certainly give them something to consider about the way they view their own wives and
The “Double-Burden” Five Little Indians by Michelle Good is a novel about the lasting effects of residential schools. This important work is widely praised for raising awareness about the mistreatment of Indigenous people. Typically, narratives that focus on Indigenous characters and themes are viewed with a postcolonial lens; however, the story also emphasises the plight of Indigenous women and can be viewed through the lens of feminism. From the feminist perspective, the novel emphasises the struggles and triumphs of Indigenous women and the hardships they face navigating patriarchal institutions and norms. This is exemplified with the characters of Kenny, Lucy, and Clara as they struggle with the effects of internalised patriarchy, the hardships
This can be seen as a return home for Rey, as her ties on Jakku have all but disappeared while the Resistance has essentially taken her as one of their own. On the other hand, an analysis of the final scene reveals more than just the close of an epic journey. After returning to the base, R2-D2 suddenly boots up to reveal the missing piece of the map to Luke Skywalker. Rey takes the Millennium Falcon to follow the map to an island-filled planet, where she dramatically climbs the steps of ancient temple ruins to encounter one Luke Skywalker. Without saying a word, she presents Skywalker with the lightsaber.
Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, is a 2015 film directed by JJ.Adams and Lucas film that presents certain issues that come with race, and gender. It appeared like each of the main characters had their own back story. It shows diversity in a high mainstream. It is for each individual to stand up for what is right, but when it comes to being with a team nothing can stop them to help each other accomplish their role as a hero. In the film, pathos,ethos is demonstrated as to the characters to appeal to each other in their conversation/discussion and persuade each other.
On an abandoned meadow, six boys played together and were having the time of their lives. The colorful graffiti on the walls and used mattresses on the grounds gave the place a homely feel and was their getaway. Even if someone were a mile away they could hear the clanks of sword fighting, and odd combination with jovial laughter, something he hasn’t heard in a while.

Do movies affect what children want for their birthday’s? Yes, but not just any movie. These have to be movies where there are one or two characters that grab your attention and after the movie kids want to be them for Halloween. Kind of like Elsa from Frozen or Spiderman, when their movies came out people after they saw the movie wanted to be them. That's like Rey from Star Wars. People want to be Rey or they want Rey merchandise because she is the main protagonist. However, before the movie came out the way they advertised Star Wars The Force Awakens Rey looked like just another character and it looked like Finn was the main character. So Rey before the movie was the most misunderstood and mysterious. So when the movie came out and people
This latest picture of the Star Wars series has been very popular before presented to the public, as is well-known, by some reasons: it is the first “Star Wars” movie which is not directed by Mr. George Lucas and is created after the takeover of the Lucas film by the Walt Disney Company in 2012, and it expresses the world 30 years after a mortal combat between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader and remarkable characters including Han Solo and Princess Leia appear.
When I first saw the trailer for this movie about a year ago, I couldn’t wait for it to come out. So when it finally did, I took the first chance I got and went to see it.

The First Order wants to destroy the last of the Jedi, but let that be the help that the Resistance needs in order to defeat the First Order.

I find this video to be particularly powerful because of the personal insight that it presents to me. Previously, I struggled to completely understand and thus clearly articulate the reasons behind my strong preference for male protagonists over female ones in both books and films. These misguided explanations would often include how I dislike the two common ways of depicting a female hero. She is consistently portrayed as either pure and dependent or very unique, only as a result of her special powers. Such characterizations are similar to the excuses in which men from the Renaissance attempt to explain away the existence and therefore, significance of female artists by emphasizing their physical appearance or that they are exceptions to nature.
As the first child of an immigrant family, I’ve always had this invisible pressure loaded on my shoulders. It may be from the fact that my parents’ first language was not English, or that as Koreans, we were a minority race. But one thing is true for sure - my love for my family is unlimited, unrestricted, and unconditional, no matter the flaws involed. And I believe that this love comes from the problems and issues I’ve had to deal with.
Racist, homophobe, child abuser, alcoholic, druggie, thief.

The truestory behind a person, and their full nature, is never included in these labels, however true they may be.Given all this hate and judgement, people are better off keeping their worst traits to be dealt with by
In every great story or tale the protagonist needs his or her antagonist to create obstacles and challenge the main character. Traditionally the villain of the story, the bad to the main characters’ goodness, pop culture has revolutionized what it means to be the antagonistic character. Gone are the days where the villains were ugly pitiful creatures; now replaced by gorgeous men that make fangirls’ heart flatter.
