In she reprised the role in one episode for the sequel series, Girl Meets World. I'm not painting a painful past of enslavement just to be a pest. Feeny 's class, but there are no interaction between the two seen on screen. This societal attitude isn't inadvertent. I guess I shouldn't take it personal. Enslaved women who were darker most likely worked in the fields, away from the home. I remember falling in love with Shawn, Cory, Eric, Topanga, and Angela over and over again as I watched reruns, and even a few years ago when I rewatched the show, I found myself impressed by it. Later on, Shawn falls in love with the girl who owns a purse, where he discovers by the contents of the purse that they have a lot in common. During her goodbyes to Topanga, Cory, Jack , Eric and Rachel , Angela and Shawn hug each other before she goes; though insisting that they should never say goodbye, Girl Meets World Angela appeared as a guest star in the Girl Meets World Season 2 episode, Girl Meets Hurricane , during which she reveals that her father has died, and she has been married for four years and is contemplating having children. Moore helps her realize that she won't because she is in love, therefore giving her the will to finally say 'I Love You' to Shawn.

Til tider har det vært frustrerende, til tider kjempegøy. Denne masteren ville aldri blitt ferdig hadde det ikke vært for all den støtten og hjelpen jeg har fått. Først vil jeg takke min veileder, Rune Klevjer, som har hjulpet meg gjennom dette og gitt gode råd, på tross av at ingen av oss hadde noe særlig kunnskap om temaet til å begynne med. Jeg vil takke min far for at du korrekturleste og for all den støtten du og mamma har gitt. Og en stor takk til alle venner og familie som har støttet meg. Takk til dere som har overlevd alle de gangene jeg har klagd. Takk til deg som kunne forklare ord og uttrykk for meg. Takk til deg som ble litt for overbegeistra.

  • Screening the LAPD
    1 Screening the L.A.P.D.: Cinematic Representations of Policing and Discourses of Law Enforcement in Los Angeles, 1948-2003. by Robert Bevan University College London Ph.D. Thesis 2 Declaration I, Robert Bevan, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Thesis Abstract This thesis examines cinematic representations of the L.A.P.D. within the context of discourses of law enforcement in Los Angeles and contends that these feature films constitute a significant strand within such discourse. This contention, which is based upon the various identifiable ways in which the films engage with contemporary issues, acknowledges that the nature of such engagement is constrained by the need to produce a commercially viable fictional entertainment. In four main chronological segments, I argue that it is also influenced by the increasing ethnic and gendered diversity of film-makers, by their growing freedom to screen even the most sensitive issues and by the changing racial and spatial politics of Los Angeles. In the 1940s and 1950s, the major studios were prepared to illustrate some disputed matters, such as wire-tapping, but represented L.A.P.D. officers as white paragons of virtue and ignored their fractious relationships with minority communities. In the aftermath of the Watts riot of 1965, racial tensions were more difficult to ignore and, under a more liberal censorship regime, film-makers―led by two independent African American directors―began to depict instances of police racism and brutality.
