So this weekend I watched Alpha and Omega (is a movie supposed to be underlined?) and later I noticed a very clear message about a woman’s place conveyed through the two main couples. Kate who is an alpha has a very confident and proud attitude. Humphrey who is an omega, is also quite confident and outspoken. The alpha from another pack, Garth, also shares these traits. However, Lily, an omega, is very shy, quiet, and insecure. So, this shows that men can act any way they want without regard for their place in society yet females must be aware of their place and cannot show any “macho” traits unless their place is a secured and at the very top. This also shows how easy it is for a woman to be destabilized from their positions and how we are essentially ruled by males. Although Lily is the pack leaders’ daughter, she cannot be outspoken or different and if she is then she is most likely to be frowned upon and removed from the pack for violating pack law, which was most likely created by males. So, basically we have to follow the rules made by men and any of our achievements rely solely upon them.
Natural Beauty
New Category!
Hi guys, I wanted to tell you that I’m going to be starting a new category on the blog about natural beauty. Here are some things I hope we get to discuss: 1) the short- and long-term effect of store bought cosmetics on your skin, 2)DIY beauty treatments that you can make at home ( that means no ingredients that have a gazillion letter in their names or something you can’t find at Trader Joe’s), 3)some fashion tips, and 4) hairstyles. We might also talk about society’s portrayal of women.
I really sorry that I haven’t posted much but I have AP tests coming up so I probably won’t post much more. However, I will try to start using my Study hall time wisely so that means I can write up my posts during that time.
If you have any suggestions for this category or the blog in general, please comment below.
P.S. If any of you noticed, yes, I did copy the ‘write a list in a sentence’ from John Green.
P.P.S. Do you guys want to start a Hand Lettering category too?
Bye!
