The Secret History of Wonder Woman

This story tells the tales of how wonder woman came to be, the most popular comic book character for people and especially small girls. WE go back to his childhood then to him in college during the feminist movements in the united states- that’s when wonder woman was created. the book is a little jumpy. by this I mean that he doesn’t follow this path. when needed to explain he jumps to the past in the middle of the present to make a point in his explanation.
The history behind the maker of wonder woman, William moulton marston starts back when he was just a boy, he lived in an orphanage but he was extremely smart. He attended Harvard studying psychology. Here is when he develops the first way to monitor someone’s blood pressure in the form of a lie detector test. he marries his childhood friend and goes bad to Harvard to study law. He wants to have his lie detector test be used in court but was not producing enough results. He gets a young woman as his assistant and ends up having her move in with him as his second wife.
One of his wife’s, olive byrnes mother was arrested for trying to give woman condoms. they then wrote "women and the new race" this book greatly inspired him to write Wonder Woman.
with no job he decided to try joining the comic book world. He was hired by M.C. Gaines, head of National Publications, DC Comics, as a psychological consultant. He pitched the idea for Wonder Woman as a symbol of female empowerment and superiority.
A huge issue was the use of bondage in the comics he wrote. Wonder Woman is shown tied up and bound in chains on almost every single page of every single issue. He said he did this because it was to be a simple but a lot of people only saw it as sexual. he did use a lot of bondage in his own relationships and thought it was the best way of showing love to his partners.

Interview with a Vampire: Lestat

Lestat is the vampire that I will be trying to portray. I chose him because after reading the screenplay his character stood out the most to me. He is strong and evil and overall seductive and I fell for his character. Mysterious and coy is pretty much how he stays in this novel, at times he shows is weaknesses but most things don’t get to this handsome badass vampire prince. His character never seems to think hard and long about his actions which tells me he his impulsive and doesn’t see life as sacred. Killing who he wants and win he believes is his right as a vampire, since he is already damned what can hurt him? He relishes his abilities and doesn’t understand vampire’s ho don’t, ones that see human life for what it is, living. He was so alone, this emptiness has caused him to manipulate his friends to stay with him, which never works. Its hard for him when plans don’t work out and he no longer lives in luxury because before becoming vampire his father made she he...

Orange is The New Black

I decided to binge watch Orange is the New Black for this week. I got through a couple of them, there are 5.   I noticed that the main way this show traps their audience is huge reveals and shocking actions that the audience didn’t think of. Prison sure is unpredictable.   In the first season you meet Chapman and you watch her adjust to prison life. There is normal drama, ex girlfriend being there does not help and in prison there is always someone who wants to kill you. This show really keeps you in on each character showing back stories to support their actions before they happen. Now knowing some of the back story of the other inmates they tend to end episodes leaving you wondering what will this crazy person do next! They led you up with a formula, character, backstory, actions in present. But to keep you guessing they end a lot of episodes after backstory or you are giving a little action.   They also remind you how horrible humans are. Even the on...

Artivism

One activist agenda I would follow if I was into activism would be artivism. Artivitst try to pursued the public to push and really think about politics and the government and their problems. Their mediums consist of protesting and jamming but mostly you see artivist using street art because that way the public can see it always in their neighborhoods. I agree with this tactic. I think the best way to get your point across and keep it there in a constant understanding and memory is to plaster it in a bold and unapologetic way. One way to see artivism work is artivism online. This website shows artist all over trying to make a difference. You can look to gain opinion or to show off what you have to say. Simply broadcast your message. http://artivism.online/ A great website to go to to understand artivism and to see what you can do is Beautiful Rising. They talk about artivist but also a wide option on things. This website shows you actions and campaigns that worked for them in ...
