The "sexual natural attitude" that is reflected through our Western culture differs greatly from that of other cultures. Our sexual natural attitude includes human beings falling into two distinct and complementary categories: male and female. Our culture denotes normality as only when two people of different genders have sexual relations or get married. It is a male dominated society where norms are often based on androcentric beliefs (McGann 2005). Our society labels people as heterosexual or homosexual with many inherent stereotypes that go along with the word "homosexual". An alternative point of view is the "sexual script" theory which states that sexuality is socially learned (Seidman 2003). In the film Chasing Amy, many features of the "sexual natural attitude" are both evident as well as challenged. The film also shows many of the characters to have "sexual scripts" which seem to be based on age, race, and class.…

When I first saw the title “When death comes” I expected a poem filled with saddening reminders of how short life can be. At a second glimpse I realized that this was not the case in fact quite the opposite seems to be true. Through her poem Mary Oliver opens deep questions on death and the mystery that surrounds it. It is oddly inspiring that Mary Oliver was able to use these questions on death to capture such an optimistic outlook and inspiring way of life in her poem. Although the poem starts with grim words referencing death and how prompt it can arrive. It transforms more into a motto for life that I myself find quite inspiring. Mary Oliver “When Death Comes” directly and successfully conveys a…
