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...

The Wife of Bath's Prologue

PROLOGUE ON MYSELF: I am Amber Atkinson, 22 years old from Norfolk Virginia. I come from a hard broken life and know suffering and know what it means to have nothing. I grew up without a lot and it helped me grow into the independent person i am now. I am a Little control freak and organize my life a lot. Sadly that means I'm really bad at relaxing and just letting things go with the flow. I love being in control and working extremely hard for everything i have and want in my life. For our first assignment for Literature and media studies was to read and analyze the Wife of Baths by Chaucer. His story is written in what we now call "Middle English" which was used during the Middle Ages. The prologue starts off explaining the basis of her theories about experience as a woman who has had a full life and has studied the Bible many times. Her theory was that women most desire is complete control over their husbands. Because she has had five husbands, the Wife feels that sh...

Cosmopolis by Don DeLillo

This was a very tricky book to read. I never felt attacked to the main character and I think that is that point. He is to himself a god. He only sees himself in this world and what he wants. He does not take no for an answer and thinks money is the answer to everything. The book keeps you in his car the most and you see all he has all the electronics and computers and the people that come to him never the opposite. I don’t see him as privileged I see him as someone who has worked hard and knows what he wants. he is numb to people and their problems be cease they are not his own. Of course this mind set harms him and his stalker wants to kill him.  Because of his private and his money, he can easily ignore it until he can’t.  I thin k he learns he can’t hide behind money and even though he can hide in his limo the world continues, something I think he easily forgets about. this book teaches you that you cant hide and privlage can not protect you.
