Unfusing and its Complications
As seen in STEVEN UNIVERSE, episode KEYSTONE MOTEL (Season 2, Episode 12)
In an alternate universe, a small group of rebel aliens came to earth eons before humans existed and fought for the freedom of this planet. These aliens are actually sentient rocks. Their main powers, their being, even their physical form all originate from gems placed on their body somewhere. This is why the race is referred to as ‘gems’. Each character is named after the mineral that makes up their gem. These gems can fuse, that is, they can mesh together their consciousness, strengths and bodies to combine into a bigger gem, called a fusion. Once fused, gems become more powerful than they would be alone. These fusions also have their

    Shel Silverstein wrote a children’s book that can be perceived through multiple critical lenses, from historical to feminist to psychological. In the Giving Tree he uses personification, metaphor, and allusions to depict the psychological impact of growing up with someone who was different than him but whom he shared a special bond with.

 Silverstein begins by using personification to describe the tree's constant giving and dedication. Throughout the life of the tree, she ultimately sacrifices and gives everything she has to the boy symbolizing both compassion and love. She continues this pattern throughout her entire life and his entire life which is why Silverstein may have portrayed her as a woman. Throughout history women have been…

    First, since Ruby was locked up in a "rehabilitation camp" most of her life, she did not know how to control her abilities. For example, she accidentally erased herself from her ex-best friend's memories (Bracken 35). She lost her best friend, giving her a reason why she should not use her powers. She could accidentally wipe someone's memories clean. Another reason, a boy from her same classification was able to implant a thought into a Psi Special Force, causing them to act upon it (Bracken 14).…

    In addition, Ruby Moon is typically non-realist and non-traditional, and this ambiguity is evident in the unresolved ending of Ruby’s existence; “was there a child, Ray?...or are we just having the same nightmare?” Leaving the audience with more questions than answers opts out of the traditional resolution and rather mirrors the confronting complexities of contemporary Australian society, we are not the “lucky” or “perfect” country, rather as Cameron quotes; “a picture-perfect veneer”, a paradox that the seemingly suburban proximity that defines Australia does not equal “intimacy, fraternity, community”. This is especially evident through experiential learning, the pair undertaking the final…

    At the time Ruth’s decision to be with Dennis was controversial.The african american community, in ,addition to the white community at the time was largely unsupportive. They would repeatedly redicule her telling her how society won’t accept her, thinking society would call her “white trash.”(231-232) Ruth starts the chapter talking about her interracial marriage and how some black people did not accept her relationship with Denis. As a result, a woman punched her in the face. At that era interracial relationships were abhorred. Dennis used others negativity positively, since when they would argue he used reverse psychology stating “That’s what people want us to do,” which lead their relationship to become stronger. They always faced discrimination as a couple as well as individually. Ruth shows her loyalty and strength to face this because she would always act strong and unwavering when people ask her why her why she is with an African American.…

    The scene was one of cosy domesticity, a man and a woman sharing breakfast after a night out clubbing together. Married? Lovers? Boyfriend and girlfriend, or just a platonic relationship, it could have been any of the three, and the scene would have been mirrored in many homes across Rome. They were normal. Or at least, together, they contained a semblance of normality, which to Kyle, was almost as eerie a sensation as was the morning after his first murder to know that the woman across from him, the one who’d have reason to never trust another man, or allow one to touch her ever again, had entrusted him to hold her in his arms as she slept. And held no regrets for having done so, and not just that. She’d also revealed details to him of her life experiences that she doubted to spoken of with such earnestness and honesty to anyone before him, and he’d returned the favour without a second thought. With her eyes closed, and her soft breathing, and the faintest of snores, but no drooling, she’d appeared so serene and peaceful, and the Army veteran hoped that he’d been in same way responsible for the lack of nightmares.…

    Ruth's hideous looks are her husband's excuse for treating her like an animal, and eventually leaving her for an ultra-feminine and successful woman. Traditionally in classic fairytales, way before Disney’s time, women characters, or heroines, are played to be what women are meant to be. Meaning, they are to be beautiful, be the mother and wife roles, listen to your husband, and basically have no voice. Ruth is played to be a stay at home wife and mother who is to keep quite of her husband’s actions. Most women back then didn’t have jobs, or there own money, and ones who didn’t have looks seemed to suffer more. What would they do or where will they go without money, status and power? Now, Ruth can see Mary Fisher's shallow and materialistic success and character, and she knows that they are what society respects the most. Mary even said, “Ruth will make her own way in the world. After all, she has the children” (Weldon 56). Ruth doesn't, and shouldn't accept this cruelty, for she knows that there is no justification for her husband and society's ways, and she has to get even. Ruth hasn't got anything too lose, she doesn't have any money, public status, or power, therefore she can plan her revenge without any regrets. Ruth's revenge on her disloyal husband Bobbo, is clearly about getting revenge at society, her husband, and it's ridiculous demands of women and what roles they need to play. Weldon is backlashing on fairytales. Given what we know about fairytales have we ever seen a woman out step her boundaries? Have we ever seen them get the status, the money, and happiness by doing it on their own? There was always a man presented to get them that. For instance Rapunzel, her story is very nice but unrealistic. Yes, she got the handsome Prince and “true love” in the end. But what did she actually do? She was faced upon a curse and it just so happens 100 years…
