AND SONS OF ANARCHY Sons of Anarchy fans will recognize at least one fierce, familiar face. As Pardo says, Mayans M.C. is “not a remake of Sons, it’s not even a sequel—it’s a different chapter, but still there’s a monster fan base to honor.” The series begins a few years after SOA, and while there isn’t much initial crossover, one regular has made the jump: Marcus Álvarez, prez of the Mexican-American motorcycle club that clashed with Jax and friends. Long story short: EZ’s gonna have his hands full as a prospect. 34 MUSCLE & FITNESS / OCTOBER 2018 .

  • Decoding Deviance with the Sons of Anarchy
    Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, Vol. 18, No. 2, June 2018, pp. 90-104. doi:10.14434/josotl.v18i2.22515 Decoding Deviance with the Sons of Anarchy Joseph Kremer Washington State University [email protected] Kristin Cutler Washington State University Abstract: This article explicates the ways that the popular television series Sons of Anarchy in conjunction with our content analysis coding tool can be used to teach theories and concepts central to Sociology of Deviance courses. We detail how students learned to understand deviance as a social constructed phenomenon by coding and analyzing the behaviors of their most liked and most hated Sons characters. Evidence extrapolated from students’ final projects, class discussions, and course evaluations suggests that this pedagogical technique creates a systematic teaching method enabling students to more actively engage in the course while enhancing connections to the course materials. Keywords: deviance, social construction of deviance, popular culture, content analysis Using television and film as a pedagogical tool in sociology is far from a new phenomenon. Scholars have attested to the fact that using television and film helps bring to life abstract sociological theories and concepts, helps to better engage students with course materials, and as a result stimulate their sociological imaginations (Burton, 1988; Champoux, 1997; Demerath III, 1981; Donaghy, 2000; Eaton & Uskul, 2004; Hannon & Marullo, 1988; Hutton & Mak, 2014; Khanna & Harris, 2015; Livingston, 2004; Loewen, 1991; Melander & Wortmann, 2011; Nefes, 2014; Trier, 2010; Wosner & Boyns, 2013). For example, when speaking to the benefits of using the cinema as a teaching tool Champoux (1999) states: “viewers are not passive observers.

  • A Fuzzy Peaches SOA Fanfiction 1
    Rendezvous … A Fuzzy Peaches SOA Fanfiction 1 Chapter 1 Valerie sunk back into the vinyl-coated chair, sighing as quietly as she could. As exhausted as she was, she couldn't sleep. Just one year with no life-altering drama, that's all she really wanted. Nice thought. She should really know better. Walking away from her house in Charming, buying a new one and basically taking her university education twice over ate up all the cash she had. The savings that were left for Mickey's school were paying for this hospital stay and pre-op so far, which included money given to her from a highly illegal gun shipment, and it still wouldn't cover the operation and recovery. She was staring at her cell phone, her stomach in knots at the thought of the call she was about to make. Her friend Malcolm didn't have this kind of money, and her brother and his girlfriend had a baby of their own they had to worry about. Loans other than mortgages or the pay day variety were out until she got her Canadian citizenship, and until then she also didn't qualify for that nifty universal health care. Mickey had been born in Oakland, so he wasn't any more Canadian than she was. Her US health insurance had run out with her change of address. She'd messed this up spectacularly. She flipped through the phone book on her cell. She had no idea why she'd programmed this number to begin with. Nothing but a horrible temptation, really.

  • All Characters, Etc from Sons of Anarchy Belong to Kurt Sutter
    All characters, etc from Sons of Anarchy belong to Kurt Sutter. Unexpected She looked down at the man knelt in front of her and felt her heart stutter. Jax had only asked her to sleep with him as a favour to the club. She hadn’t really wanted to go through with it, but she’d felt privileged to have been singled out for such attention, to be entrusted with a task on their behalf. Skeeter had been after her all through high school. She’d always found him a little skeevy. His mind always seemed to be working on the dark side. The way he looked at her creeped her out, always had. Like he was imagining doing all sorts of things to her; and not necessarily just the ones that most teenage boys did. That dark gaze raking over her never failed to raise goose bumps and not in a good way. Of course the deal hadn’t been entirely one sided. She’d agreed to the request on the condition that she got a quick fuck from Jax and he’d been only too happy to oblige. With his tight body, blond hair blue eyes he was the complete opposite of the guy currently kneeling in front of her. Of course there was also the cut, which Jax had obligingly kept on whilst they’d gotten close and sweaty. There was just something about the cut, something about walking on the wild side, the forbidden, the outlaw. Being on the inside of a world that few people were trusted with made her feel special in a way that not much else did anymore.

  • 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.

Sarjan tapahtumat sijoittuvat kuvitteelliseen kalifornialaiseen pikkukaupunkiin, jossa toimii lainsuojaton moottoripyöräkerho. Aineistona käytettiin sarjan neljää ensimmäistä tuotantokautta (2008-2011) keskittyen dialogeihin, joissa kaksi keskeisintä naishahmoa olivat joko osallisina tai puheenaiheina. Toinen keskeisimmistä naishahmoista oli sarjan päähenkilön äiti, Gemma, ja toinen päähenkilön naisystävä, Tara. Tutkimuksessa huomioitiin kuusi eri näkökulmaa hahmon rakentumiseen Pearsonin (2007) esittelemän mallin mukaan, joita olivat: 1) psykologiset piirteet ja tavat, 2) fyysiset piirteet ja ulkonäkö, 3) kielenkäyttö, 4) suhteet muiden hahmojen kanssa, 5) ympäristö sekä 6) biografia. Observoinnin lisäksi käytin korpuslingvistiikan metodologiaa selvittäessäni tyypillisiä puhemalleja hahmoille
