What Dean Winchester Means To Me
Today is the series finale of my favorite show ever. Supernatural has been the biggest and best part of my life. I was welcomed into the family with open arms, treated equally, and it was the first place that I ever felt like I actually belonged. It is the base for my strength, this crazy family of ours. I didn’t know what to expect becoming a fan of this show with these two brothers and an angel fighting evil, but it has been the biggest blessing in my life. There is so much humanity and realism ingrained into this supernatural show, and I didn’t expect to relate to Dean Winchester so much but here we are.

Every Shonen fan knows that the heroines on the shows are always sidelined from the rest of the action and are given very few opportunities. The viewers can recall watching them looking at valiant protagonists fight it out with the rivals with concern on their faces. It shows the helplessness of the heroines that is tough to watch sometimes. Even though the world has progressed a lot in the last few decades, it is depressing to watch female characters being portrayed as weak and dependent.

The voyage back to Moreau’s island has been a difficult one. There has been trouble with the men on the ship, and the captain especially. That captain is a behemoth and a mess with little regard for his cargo. There is little to do for the next several days while we await our return home, however the journey is almost finished now. We have had trouble on several occasions with the men’s reactions to M’ling which I wish to recount here, as to remember them when Moreau is being difficult with him.

'Gone With the Wind' and the cancel culture
In recent months there has been a shift in this nation. After the death of George Floyd, a lot of Americans began rethinking racism. The country trio Lady Antebellum changed their name to Lady A because the monicker was tied to the days of slavery. There were many reflections upon social justice and one of them was HBO stating they would no longer air the 1939 classic Gone With the Wind. Younger generations have expressed being troubled by what they considered as racist overtones in the movie that would not be appropriate today. Older people of all races who grew up watching the film feel differently about it. Before we give this legendary movie to the "Cancel Culture" let us first consider the African Americans who were part of the cast.

Cheryl E PrestonPublished 3 years ago in GeeksBook Review: "The Black Unicorn" by Audre Lorde
I have read other works by Audre Lorde before that led me to take a look at some of her poetry. "Zami" and "Sister Outsider" are two of the books I have read before by her and I am, as of yet, planning to read "The Cancer Journals" as well. But, as I have been reading "The Black Unicorn" and honestly, I have been surprised as to why I have waited so long before I chose to read this one. "The Black Unicorn" is possibly my favourite Audre Lorde book so far because the poetry is so vivid, exciting and so well written that I might just go right back to the beginning to take the entire thing in again.

In this article, we will be looking at 2019’s book “1001 Movies to See Before You Die” and going through each film in a random order that I have chosen. We will be looking at what constitutes this film to be on the list and whether I think this film deserves to be here at all. I want to make perfectly clear that I won’t be revealing details from this book such as analyses by film reporters who have written about the film in question, so if you want the book itself you’ll have to buy it. But I will be covering the book’s suggestions on which films should be your top priority. I wouldn’t doubt for a second that everyone reading this article has probably watched many of these movies anyway. But we are just here to have a bit of fun. We’re going to not just look at whether it should be on this list but we’re also going to look at why the film has such a legacy at all. Remember, this is the 2019 version of the book and so, films like “Joker” will not be featured in this book and any film that came out in 2020 (and if we get there, in 2021). So strap in and if you have your own suggestions then don’t hesitate to email me using the address in my bio. Let’s get on with it then.
Annie KapurPublished 3 years ago in GeeksNo, You Don’t Need a Degree in Literature…
Most people seem to think that you require a degree in literature of some sort in order to have a valid and more worthy opinion on which books we should be reading and how we should be reading them. We, in the world of the arts, tend to listen to scholars and academic hierarchies etc. which only means that we have lost our way when it comes to literature. Literature should be about the emotions of the masses. I mean, how many children have an opinion about Harry Potter who can also read about eight years above their own age? Pretty much none of them. Do their opinions therefore matter if they have not studied literature? Yes. In fact, it matters more because the book series in aimed at the children, not at the scholars. Books are hardly ever published with a target audience of scholars. So, this is an article about why you do not need a literature degree to have a valid, important opinion on novels and poetry. It will not only show you why you don’t need a literature degree to do this stuff, but it will also show why you possibly would want to get a degree in literature and guess what - it has nothing to do with validating your opinion on books.

In this chapter of ‘the filmmaker’s guide’ we’re actually going to be learning about literature and film together. I understand that many of you are sitting in university during difficult times and finding it increasingly hard to study and I understand that many of you who are not at university or not planning on it are possibly stuck of what to do, need a break or even need to catch up on learning film before you get to the next level. This guide will be brief but will also contain: new vocabulary, concepts and theories, films to watch and we will be exploring something taboo until now in the ‘filmmaker’s guide’ - academia (abyss opens). Each article will explore a different concept of film, philosophy, literature or bibliography/filmography etc. in order to give you something new to learn each time we see each other. You can use some of the words amongst family and friends to sound clever or you can get back to me (email in bio) and tell me how you’re doing. So, strap in and prepare for the filmmaker’s guide to film studies because it is going to be one wild ride.
