Laughing Girl Warrior: Love and Masks

by Jocelyn Shutak, Sydney Phillips, Alexandria Gooch, Gracelyn Cox, and Nathan Evans

I honestly loved doing the research for my project specifically, because our topic has changed so much over time and culture. Love and intimacy displayed themselves totally different. It was also eye-opening to see that even ancient texts touched on subjects that are still very prevalent today such as gender stereotypes, social norms, and glass ceilings. For example, the reading “Laughing Warrior Girl,” explains that the main character was not only a woman but “also a man.” This was because the girl did not wish to “behave correctly,” and instead wanted to help the men fight the enemies. After they let her, she became a female fighting icon and broke the “glass ceiling” regarding women being able to protect and serve as
well.

Additionally, the text also touched on gender normalities and stereotypes regarding behavior. People of society did not believe she behaved well because women were supposed to be obedient, subservient, and quiet. While some women in certain cultures held power, they were still supposed to be emotionally “put together” and display level-headed thinking. The subtle
integration of this topic into the piece caught my attention. I didn’t believe that behavioral gendered stereotypes were something that ancient cultures would recognize, but they did. This made me all the more excited to teach our class about the reading and what we personally interpreted from it. I also was eager to hear what the class thought about it, too.

Sydney Phillips, “Reflection on Presentation Project”

“I think our group presentation went very well, I really enjoyed watching my classmates participate in the activities and I think it was really enlightening to see peoples perception of themselves. . . . I learned that gender is not just what you have on your birth certificate or what you identify as or your pronouns. It’s deeper than that, it’s the person inside.”

Gracelyn Cox

The final discussion was the highlight for me, watching people discuss and laugh and understand each
other better whilst learning more broad stuff and bringing forth their personal ideas and
perspectives.

My Epic

by Marina Grafton

My Jacket

My main character jacket,

My armor in time of war,

My statement of Marina,

Clad in pins from her adventures.

Pins rom a bookstore in New York City

Flying on a plane for the first time

To a strange, scary city 

Only seen in my movies.

Pins from Denmark, from friends an ocean away

A pin of a little mermaid perched on a rock.

I can see her now with rusted copper skin.

I think of my mom who I watched the mermaid with….

Then the pins from comic con

I can still see her now, 

Aisles of cosplayers and artists, with me in awe

All the intricately made costumes and the trinkets they sold.

One of those places I feel I most belong.

Finally, the pins from nowhere,

Just the ones I found at the Hot Topic,

The ones that let the world know who I am,

The ones that let me know who I am,

The ones that remind me of the simple, beautiful things in life,

As well as the strange.

These pins on this jacket,

Putting on display who I am,

Who I want to be.

It connects me to me.

It makes me memorable

It gives me the confidence of a main character.

Growing Up With Dyslexia

by Alana DeLawter

LANG120 with Jessica Pisano

Dyslexia and Growing Up

After reflecting on my childhood, which was largely spent in a remedial program, I decided I wanted to make a mixed media piece detailing my experience and the conclusion I came to in coping with my visual dyslexia. I chose to use an eye as a self-representation for a few reasons. Firstly, my visual dyslexia is a result of distortions of my eye and parts of my brain
that contribute to my visual function. Secondly, an eye represents me as an artist because I can use my eyes to transcribe the world around me and put it on paper. I am not defined by my dyslexia but it is a part of my human experience. I also chose to use the star as a symbol in my drawing as a nod to reward systems offered by teachers in school, as well as a symbol of potential to learn, something I have despite my dyslexia. I placed scraps of paper with b’s, d’s, p’s, and q’s in various positions as a nod to my memoir, where I mentioned the letters I struggled the most with growing up. The process of making this piece started by gluing collaged notebook paper onto my bristol board then drawing on top with micron, pen, and marker.
