"Fake love" is known as an extreme and perfect representation of love. Everything involved in fake love seems to fall into place for the two lovers involved. Cinderella and Prince Charming are an example of fake love because Charming goes through out the whole country having women try on a shoe to find the one person the shoe fit, this is part of everything falling into place for Cinderella and Charming. Having every woman try on the shoe was also very extreme all for love. The most unrealistic part of the fairy tail would have to be Charming going through out the whole country to find one woman as mentioned as before. There is no way a prince could spend that much time, money, and energy into attempting to find a woman he doesn't even know the real identity of when there are far more important things for a prince to be doing, like ruling his country. The myth of romance that fits into the Cinderella story is, "The right mate "completes you" by filling your needs and making your dreams come true. It's "happily ever after" from here on out. Your life is set." When Cinderella finally married Prince Charming she was finally set in life. She would no longer have to worry about anything else in life like she previously had to do, the prince would take care of everything.

    Cinderella and Prince Charming a great example of fake love. It's actually comical that she fit in the shoe so him and her were just 'destined to be together forever'. It's interesting that as children we watch this story and actually in a way idolize it. I also agree, and think it's humorous that a prince has far much more to do be doing than looking for a woman who fits a particular shoe.

    I agree with the fact that the whole idea is pretty ridiculous. Something that also could be pointed out is the fact that there is not a single girl in an entire kingdom that does not have the same size foot as Cinderella? If that is the case she must have some freaky feet.

      That's an interesting point you brought up. I never thought about the fact that no one else in the whole kingdom had the same size foot as Cinderella. The whole idea of her having this one of a kind foot that no one else has is kinda creepy. This point just adds to the over all idea of Cinderella's story representing fake love.

Between the reading Boys Will Be Boys and the film Mansome there were several things they had in common. One connection I noticed between the two were in Boys Will Be Boys it said, "As women become more self confident, men are losing their nerve" and in Mansome it explained that society told men to "stop acting like men" resulting in an identity crisis. I think the two are trying to explain that the way man have acted and thought about their appearance before isn't what is now socially acceptable. Men used to be so confident and not have to worry about their appearance but now they have to work hard to look like they didn't try hard to look the way they do. Another connection between the two were in Mansome it explained that mens health magazines are making men more vain and in Boys Will Be Boys it says that mens goals may not have changed that much but the way to achieve them has. I think mens health magazines are one of the platforms that is influencing ...

When sports were first introduced in the Greek and Roman times with the Olympics these athletes were idolized. In A Variety of Religious Experience it talks about how sports were a diversion from everyday life and offered moral benefits. The article also talks about how in terms of religion fans worship those in the Hall of Fame like Gods. Now a days there are actual schools that are based on religion. Shiloh Christian High School was talked about in Football High . The school is owned by the priest of the biggest church in the state and also pays to support the football team. Religion has evolved in the sports world from athletes being praised like Gods to schools being based on different types of religion. In terms of social class affecting the sports world, in A Variety of Religious Experience it explains that  the upper class would play a lot of solo and individual sports in order to be the center of attention. Now a days the private schools that are richer than public s...

I researched the movie Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising and expected to find around 25 product placements throughout the movie. I thought there would be a lot because the movie was targeted at teens and young adults so it would have a lot of popular products being used. I found 6 brands that were used repeatedly during the movie; U-Haul, Nike, Apple, Instagram, Vans, and Converse. I think the use of Apple was a good idea on the film makers part because Apple is such a recognized and popular product. Different types of Apple products were used in the movie like MacBooks and iPhones. This product placement made sense to the storyline like This Must Be the Place describes. During the movie the actors are on their phone making calls or using a computer to look things up so having those products be Apple made perfect sense and didn't have the audience question why they were using it. I thought there would be several different products shown in the movie and there was to a certain degree. Th...
