This class helped my writing skills a lot. When I first started this class, I did not even think that I could sufficiently write five pages about any given topic, and I ended with writing a nine page research paper (sorry Professor Light, I hope you don’t dock too many points off for going aContinue reading “Do You Have A Higher Level Course, Professor Light?”

There are many strong feelings on both sides about the demilitarized zone in the city of Seattle, Washington. I call it demilitarized because they got rid of the police, basically a domestic military. And I just wanted to give my thoughts on the state of affairs within this experiment. Just to preface, my views onContinue reading “CHAZ (United States Demilitarized Zone)”

The research process has gone well for me so far. To be fair, I found most if not all of my sources before I had even decided definitively that I was going to write my paper on the gender roles in Nickelodeon’s Avatar: The Last Airbender. The reason why I did this was because IContinue reading “Where I am”

For my research paper, I have decided to write on my favorite series that I had watched recently: Avatar: The Last Airbender. After I had known the prompt about halfway through this class, I was on my second viewing of the animated series. I had noticed that there were many of the gender tropes beingContinue reading “Proposition”

“The more I have spoken about feminism the more I have realized that fighting for women’s rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating. If there is one thing I know for certain, it is that this has to stop.” This had been said by Emma Watson, an actress who once had given a UnitedContinue reading “Ridiculous People Pwned”

After reading “Lovely, Dark and Deep”, it seems to me that Robert Frost had a slight misappropriation of gender role toward our narrator at the beginning of the piece. While this is not okay, he started off sounding like an aloof man from the mid-1950’s. He started off by calling Fife ‘dear’ every other timeContinue reading “Frosty Contempt”

Perhaps this is just because he is the character that is at the center of the story, but I still admire the character of Billy French in “The Emerald Light in the Air”. He seems to me like such a tragic character. The story takes on a somber tone as he has clearly gone throughContinue reading “Emerald Light”

I watched Flu Season of Parks and Recreation. As the article “The New Man in Parks and Rec” points out, there are many different portrayals of how men act that are perfectly acceptable to be still considered masculine in the show. One of the first men we see is Ron Swanson; he gives the sickContinue reading “Flu Season”

I watched the Boys and Girls episode from The Office. In the intro, Michael is seen trying to be a part of Jan’s women in the workplace meeting. This leads him to be inadvertently misogynistic and dismissive towards the women because he is absolutely clueless about everything. However, I do not believe Michael is beingContinue reading “Hold, please”

Hello, my name is Justin Liebrecht. I am technically a sophomore, I guess with the amount of credit hours that I currently have (weird to think). This is one of my first two sophomore classes, along with west and the world. I had Professor Light as my writing seminar professor last semester, and she wasContinue reading “;) (ENG 200)”
