Welcome, please not only read but comment and particpate with this blog about masculinity as me and my fellow Olympians help a mortal student achieve an A in English 101.
In this section of English 101 with the help of Zeus and other Olympian gods I will explore the theme of masculinity through close reading, critical thinking, class discussions, and a variety of writing assignments such as analytical, comparative and persuasive...
Theme
"Although we often described men as masculine, we do not consider all men equally masculine. In other words, in United States, generally masculinity is associated with strength, power, and courage but also with violence, sexism and close-mindedness. The depictios of men we see in politics, entertainment and sports often promote as well as reinforce these standards of masculinity. What we will investigate in this course is the notion of masculinity as an abstract concept rather than a fixed category. By closely reading and discussing a selection of readings, we will consider masculinity in relation to media, race, work, fatherhood, and relationships. Our objective is to see whether there are in fact numerous masculinities rather than just one masculinity." - Class Syllabus

Birth of Zeus
I decided to upload this clip from the video game "God of War 2" that depicts the Birth of Zeus to further emphasize my point in my last blog that being a traditional primary care providing father doesnt always end well...Especially if your traditional primary care is to eat you own children??? ( WHERE THEY DO THAT AT??? SMH!!!)
