  • Last Call … a Fuzzy Peaches SOA Fanfiction 1
    Last Call … A Fuzzy Peaches SOA Fanfiction 1 CHAPTER 1 "So … how's this? Does Mommy look hot?" Valerie asked, eyebrows raised, peering down at Mickey in his car seat. They'd pulled into a truck stop to freshen up. One thing Valerie had learned; truck stops really did have cleaner bathrooms compared to simple gas stations. And the roomiest stalls. She'd been able to close the toilet seat, set Mickey's car seat on it, and changed from shorts and a tank top to a turquoise sundress with plenty of room to move. Now she was at the sink, Mickey still seated next to her on the counter, chewing on a teething toy and just blinking at her. She's splashed water on her face, put her hair back in a headband, even put on lip gloss, touched up her deodorant and body spray. Overkill, maybe. But this road trip was ending at Teller-Morrow in Charming, and she wasn't leaving anything to chance. They were twenty minutes outside the little town she'd run from. Her stomach was turning, her nerves had her jumpy and anxious, and she felt totally guilty about keeping Mickey restrained in his car seat during this pit stop. But he hadn't messed himself, she'd changed him an hour before, and if she let him out he'd be all over, most likely digging his teething ring out of the toilet and shoving it back in his mouth. Yeah, that had happened once. He was a hellion, all over the place, and almost impossible to get under wraps once he was loose.

  • The Portrayal of White Organized Racist Characters on Television
    The Portrayal of White Organized Racist Characters on Television How White Organized Racist Characters are Portrayed in Oz, Sons of Anarchy, and Justified By: Gina Benedicte Halvorsen A Thesis Presented To: The Department of Literature, Area Studies, and European Languages. North-American Area Studies Faculty of Humanities In Partial Fulfillment for the MA Degree UNIVERSITETET I OSLO Fall 2012 © Gina Benedicte Halvorsen 2012 The Portrayal of White Organizt Racist Characters on Television Gina Benedicte Halvorsen http://www.duo.uio.no/ Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo II Abstract: The purpose of this thesis is to look at how white organized racist characters are portrayed on television by taking a closer look at the white organized racist characters portrayed in Oz, Sons of Anarchy and Justified. It will look closer at how the social class and social status of these characters have been defined and portrayed. It will also look at how the white organized racist characters perform their gender and what types of masculinity they display, and analyze the usage of racist symbols in the form of tattoos. This thesis will show that all of the white organized racist characters portrayed in Oz, Sons of Anarchy, and Justified are male. Most of these male characters belong to a lower social class and they use social status to gain control over their environment, and to be able to advance within their society. The male characters perform their gender with intensity and as high-powered men. Most of these men show violent tendencies and little regard for the lives and wellbeing of others.
