The Wicked: A Pretty Little Liars Box Set: Wicked/Killer/Heartless/Wanted has been licensed by Amazon. The series is loosely divided into four arcs, chronicling the introduction and reveal of each " A ". Set in the suburbs of Philadelphiathe series follows the lives of four teenage girls nicknamed the Pretty little Liars or simply the Liarswhose clique falls apart after the disappearance of their queen bee leader, " Alison DiLaurentis ". Three years after her mysterious disappearance, the girls begin receiving intimidating messages from an anonymous character named "A". Shortly after the messages begin, Alison's body is discovered buried in her yard. The books progress with the four girls trying to figure out the identity of "A" and facing many dangerous obstacles and twists as they do so. Spencer Hastings : Spencer is a headstrong, intelligent, overachieving girl who comes from the wealthy Hastings Wicked: A Pretty Little Liars Box Set: Wicked/Killer/Heartless/Wanted. Hanna Marin : Hanna is the bubbly, strong, and fierce "it-girl" of the group following Alison's disappearance. She suffers from an eating disorder, about which she received taunts from Alison. Aria Montgomery : Aria is a quirky and artsy girl who, at the beginning of the books, is trying to find herself. Emily Fields : Emily is considered the jock of the group, being a physical, loyal girl who struggles with her sexuality. It is later revealed that the Alison the girls thought they knew was her twin sister, Courtney. She had supposedly been killed at the beginning of the series however is revealed to have been alive and also their tormentor "A" as she was mistaken for her twin sister Courtney who pretended to be like her and was sent to The Preserve at Addison-Stevens, which she believed was the Liars' fault and has been plotting revenge ever since. Her identical twin sister Courtney DiLaurentis is not crazy but she debuted in Wanted after the TV show began in In the prequel, Courtney-as-Ali started disappearing in the last chapter and getting almost killed numerous times, until the end of the series Vicious when Ali-as-Courtney came out and started becoming friends with her twin "Ali" again after rehab with Tabitha and Iris, two lookalikes Wicked: A Pretty Little Liars Box Set: Wicked/Killer/Heartless/Wanted Ali, all in the penultimate chapter. Courtney DiLaurentis: "Alison," the one who originally befriended the four girls in the sixth grade, is later revealed to be actually Courtney in the books often referred to by the Liars as Our Ali, or Their Ali. She is the third child to Jessica and Kenneth. The twins were described to be inseparable as children, but Alison started to exhibit a vicious jealousy towards Courtney as they grew up, and the close bond deteriorated completely when she once tried to drown Courtney. Probably in a psychological phenomenon known as projection, Alison managed to convince, and possibly brainwash, Courtney at home and at school that she indeed was the jeaous one. She made her refer to herself as Alison, adamantly, to their parents and teachers, her motive being that her sister would eventually be detained for insanity. Her plan eventually worked, and was sent to The Preserve at Addison-Stevens after a physical argument with Alison. But years later in a fit of vengeance on a rare visit home, Courtney managed to swindle a plan to trick their parents that Alison was Courtney when it was time to leave, Ali's claims that she was Ali making her parents believe her even less. Subsequently, Courtney morphs into "Queen Bee Ali" and, out of pure chance, befriends the Liars up until the night of her infamous disappearance when she was killed and buried by the real Alison DiLaurentis and her accomplice Nick Maxwell. A : A is the main antagonist of the series, being, for the most part, an anonymous character who relentlessly torments many characters, in particular the Liars. However, she is killed when Spencer pushes her off a cliff face and her neck is caught between rocks. However, a new "A" rises, this time even more determined to hurt the Liars. This A is revealed to be Alison herself who wanted revenge on the Liars for ruining her life and Nick, who is revealed to be her accomplice. The story then jumps 3 years later, when the girls are living their own lives and don't speak to each other. Aria returns Wicked: A Pretty Little Liars Box Set: Wicked/Killer/Heartless/Wanted Rosewood from a 3-year trip to Iceland with her family and comes back much more sophisticated than before she left. She meets and makes out with a guy in a local bar who is revealed later to be her English teacher, Ezra Fitz. Emily befriends the new girl in town, Maya St. Germain, and soon develops romantic feelings for her, even though Emily has a boyfriend, Ben. Ben later finds Maya and Emily kissing in the photo booth at a party and dumps beer on them. Hanna is the new popular girl in town alongside the former nerd, Mona Vanderwaal. However, she and Mona sometimes shoplift though both can clearly afford their steals. Hanna battles the urge to turn back to bulimia, and struggles to manage the stress of keeping her queen bee status. Spencer continues to struggle in her long-standing rivalry with Melissa Hastings, her perfect older sister. Problems occur when she begins to feel attracted to Melissa's new boyfriend, Wren Kim. Throughout the story, the liars get messages threatening to reveal their secrets of the present and past, including a terrifying incident the girls refer to as "The Jenna Thing". They automatically believe it is their missing friend, Alison, because she is the only one each of them confided in regarding their darkest secrets. However, they are shocked when the police find her corpse buried in the gazebo of her former house. The book ends with the liars receiving a text at Alison's funeral saying, "I'm still here, bitches.

Spencer continues to date with her sister Melissa's now ex-boyfriend Wren and loses her virginity to him. However, Melissa starts to hook-up with him as well and eventually makes sure that he will be out of both of their lives for good. Emily blames herself for Toby's suicide. In this book it is revealed that Toby was forcing himself on Jenna when they were in middle school and Ali and Spencer Wicked: A Pretty Little Liars Box Set: Wicked/Killer/Heartless/Wanted the only ones who knew about it, which is how Alison forced Toby to take the blame. Emily plans to go to the police to stop "A", which leads to "A" taking revenge by outing her to the whole school. Emily's parents threaten to send her away if she does not attend a "de-gaying" program, however, Emily realizes she can't change who she is.

Benjamin Franklin How It All Started Imagine it’s a couple of years ago, the summer between seventh and eighth grade. You’re tan from lying out next to your rock-lined pool, you’ve got on your new Juicy sweats (remember when everybody wore those?), and your mind’s on your crush, the boy who goes to that other prep school whose name we won’t mention and who folds jeans at Abercrombie in the mall. You’re eating your Cocoa Krispies just how you like ’em – doused in skim milk – and you see this girl’s face on the side of the milk carton. MISSING. She’s cute – probably cuter than you – and has a feisty look in her eyes. You think, Hmm, maybe she likes soggy Cocoa Krispies too. And you bet she’d think Abercrombie boy was a hottie as well. You wonder how someone so . well, so much like you went missing. You thought only girls who entered beauty pageants ended up on the sides of milk cartons. Well, think again. Aria Montgomery burrowed her face in her best friend Alison DiLaurentis’s lawn. ‘Delicious,’ she murmured. ‘Are you smelling the grass?’ Emily Fields called from behind her, pushing the door of her mom’s Volvo wagon closed with her long, freckly arm. ‘It smells good.’ Aria brushed away her pink-striped hair and breathed in the warm early-evening air. ‘Like summer.’ Emily waved ’bye to her mom and pulled up the blah jeans that were hanging on her skinny hips.

Globaalisti seksuaalivähemmistöjä laajalle yleisölle ovat tehneet tutuiksi populaarikulttuuriset valtavirtasisällöt kuten amerikkalaiset elokuvat ja televisiosarjat. Monet nuoret, jotka vasta rakentavat omaa seksuaali-identiteettiään, ammentavat vaikutteita näistä sisällöistä, erityisesti heidän ikäryhmilleen kohdistetuista tuotannoista kuten nuorten sarjoista. Siten on tarpeellista tutkia seksuaalivähemmistöjä edustavien fiktiivisten hahmojen kokonaisvaltaisia representaatioita suosittujen amerikkalaisten nuorten sarjojen kontekstissa ja päivittää tutkimus 1990-luvulta nykypäivää heijastavaksi. Tässä tutkielmassa tarkastelun kohteena ovat nuorten sarjoissa Glee ja Valehtelevat viettelijät (eng. Pretty Little Liars) esiintyvät lesbohahmot Santana Lopez ja Emily

  • American Television, Drama by Nathan G
    American Television, Drama by Nathan G. Tipton Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Despite a steady increase in the number of "big screen" queer characters and queerly-themed movies, the overt presence of gays and lesbians on the American small screen has been (and continues to be) far more limited. As Suzanna Danuta Walters has explained, while film has long dealt with gay subjects (albeit in often stereotyped or "tragic" ways), television's explicitly family-centric format appeared to mandate that glbtq persons were simply not a part of families that made up "typical" family audiences. After all, Walters continues, the intense intimacy and centrality of television in the personal space of family life provides a particular type of viewing experience that is fundamentally distinct from the relative anonymity of movie theaters. Not surprisingly, this family-centrism is displayed most prominently in programs shown by the five broadcast television networks, ABC, CBS, NBC, The CW, and Fox. These networks have historically been reticent about tackling homosexuality in its multifarious forms, preferring instead to leave these programming decisions to the proliferating number of cable networks. Still, long before the advent of cable, broadcast networks were tentatively exploring homosexuality by vicariously inserting into dramatic television series stereotypically gay characters. Â Early Representations From 1968 to 1974, as Edward Alwood has explained, homosexuals on television were recognizable in programs such as Kojak, M*A*S*H, Police Woman, and Hawaii Five-O because of their routine representation as limp-wristed, effeminate drag queens who walked with a swish and talked in high-pitched voices.

  • Dickason Thesis
    “YOU KNOW YOU LOVE ME”: SURVEILLANCE AND SPECTATORSHIP IN CONTEMPORARY TEEN GIRL TV A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English By Cara Dickason, B.A. Washington, DC April 24, 2015 Copyright 2015 by Cara Dickason All Rights Reserved ii “YOU KNOW YOU LOVE ME”: SURVEILLANCE AND SPECTATORSHIP IN CONTEMPORARY TEEN GIRL TV Cara Dickason, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Caetlin Benson-Allott, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Contemporary teen girl television shows about surveillance allow for an exploration of how girls constantly negotiate between their own positions as spectators and their objectification through surveillance and in media representation. From celebrity photo leaks to magazine covers on sexting, public discourse on girls, surveillance, and technology is riddled with anxiety about privacy, visibility, and sexuality. Mainstream media obsess over the many dangers besetting girls today, their vulnerability to exploitation by surveillance, and their corresponding need for protection and policing. Simultaneously, however, that same media insists both on girls’ constant visual and sexual objectification and their position as empowered, independent consumer- spectators. This thesis traces such themes of surveillance and spectatorship through Gossip Girl (2007-2012), Pretty Little Liars (2010-present), and Veronica Mars (2004-2007), three popular prime time teen dramas that centralize girls’ relationship to surveillance and visibility. I will explore how surveillance functions to objectify, value, and control teenage girls, and how female viewers’ relationship to the shows complicates and recapitulates those functions. These teen girl TV shows ultimately allow for the consideration of the complex ways that surveillance both exerts control over and affords agency within girls’ relationships to their own visibility.
