Sara was a slave working for dutch famers ,where the ower brother told her to travel to England for exhibition,where she would become wealth. She was 20 years old when she left home on a boat to London, never know she would never see home again. Sara life became fascinating where she was taken to be in a circus to be exhibited as a freak across Britain. They nicknamed her as the "Hottentot Venus", were swept through Britain popular culture. She was taken to France and became the object of scients. After she became a prositute, she die a year later. It was disturbing but yet an eye opening to see what people have done to others by cutting out her sexual organs and brain to be displayed.Its upsetting to see that guys refer to woman as "bitches". Mothers and daughters have been pimped for big houses and money, they would be in music videos shaking their things half naked for money, Benz and big houses, as being mans "hoes". We need to get back respect for ourselves and other as black women.

Love & Basketball Film

In 1981 in L.A., Monica moves in next door to Quincy. They're 11, and both want to play in the NBA, just like Quincy's dad. Their love-hate relationship lasts into high school, with Monica's edge and Quincy's top-dog attitude separating them, except when Quincy's parents argue and he climbs through Monica's window to sleep on the floor.

He chose her they got married had a daughter and they both went back to playing basketball.
The gender representation in the First Quarter 1981, when Quincy and two of his friends were playing basketball and Monica walk up wearing a hat and baggy cloths looking like a boy asked to play with them and when she toke off her hat,they saw that she was a girl, they said that girls can't play basketball and she show them that girls can ,Quincy angrily knock her down and she got scar in the face. The gender representation is that boys think that girls can't do what they can, like playing basketball etc. So in the movie Monica show Quincy that she's good at basketball so he got angry. Ladies can do anything as long as you put your mind to it.

DOLCE & GABBANA Advertisement

Dolce & Gabbana is advertising clothing line with four guys and a girl. where one of the guys is putting the girl down so they can gang rape her or something, while the other guys watch what he's doing to the girl. I think if they advertising clothing line the girl and guy shouldn't be on the ground like they are going to have sex. The codes and conventions used are Irrelevant sexualization of women and girls and Male Approval.
