The presence of mirrors is highlighted in this episode. Before this episode there has not been an emphasis on mirrors, even though they appear in other episodes. I feel like the use of this prop is important in understanding the episode. Every time a mirror appears, there is a different circumstance that the character is dealing with. The first mirror appears in Quinn’s house. She is trying on her Chastity Ball dress with her mom, and the dress does not zip up all the way. Quinn is shown in the mirror
One of my weekly shows that I watch is Glee. In this TV series we witness teenage high school students go through many relatable situations and are able to bond with people outside their “group” through their passion for music. The shows purpose is to teach acceptance to young adults. However, by doing so they have created stereotypes that reinforce just the opposite, instead of being who you want to be, disregarding your gender, race, and weight, it supports putting yourself into the stereotype
where they are truly appreciated and welcomed? Lots of slushies thrown in your face. Why? Because Glee Club is the lamest club in the school. I have been binge watching this show for so long, and I just can’t stop. This TV Show highlights any adversity you could think of, and shows different characters overcoming it. Simply, if you were to say “I wish (blank) never happens to me!” there is a glee episode for that. Although this TV show can be inappropriate for some ages, there is a true message
Glee: Defying the Mainstream The herd will take care of it” (Glee). This is not a reference to cattle but rather a reference to high school students; this quote was said by a teacher on the show Glee, indicating that students enforce the status quo. Ironically, this show does the opposite. The episode “Pilot” from the show Glee by Ryan Murphy is unique for television shows because it reverses the stereotypical views of society, and this essay will analyze it by summarizing the show, applying the
watch the show Glee? Glee starts of with the beginning of another school year; high school cheerleaders doing their routine and the jocks throwing a kid into a dumpster. (Pilot) I personally was not interested in the show at all. When I used to see previews of Glee during commercials I would immediately change it. I thought it would just be another show about high school students doing their musical performance but later, I decided to give the show a chance. After I watched “Glee” I realized I was
the television program Glee, which, over its six-year run, has achieved immense popularity, in part because of its cutting edge LGBT plotlines, its premise regarding challenging the social structure of the typical public high school, and the treatment of students among and between the social strata of a public high school. The goal of this chapter is to introduce the topic of my proposed research, which questions how the interactions among adolescent participants on the Glee pages of FanFiction.net
How does someone grieve? There is never a right way or a wrong way to grieve because no matter what, grief is painful, messy, and emotionally exhausting. On July 13, 2013, the hit musical-comedy show “Glee” suffered a huge loss due to the untimely death of their lead actor, Cory Monteith. “Glee” paid tribute to the beloved actor’s life and memory by airing a tribute in honor of Cory’s and his character Finn’s memory. The episode contained six musical numbers dedicated to Cory and Finn. Those six
Cosmopolitan, a magazine geared towards women, was first published in 1866. However, the magazine has dramatically changed over time. The articles featured in Cosmopolitan magazine today would have been shamed many years ago. Cosmopolitan magazine was originally marketed as a fashion magazine, featuring some articles about the home, family and cooking. It’s safe to say it was the “woman’s magazine.” However, now, the magazine is mostly geared towards sex and how a woman can make herself more desirable
Getting a job in Hollywood, New York or any other fame central occupation location can be difficult, especially when everyone in the business tells you your dreams are impossible, but those dreams do become a reality for a lucky few. A prime example of this is singer/actress, Lea Michele. Lea made it her mission in life to prove wrong all those Hollywood casting directors and harsh media critics that say you have to look or act a certain way to be famous. She has cut right through all the negativity
have been, and the idea of “gay is okay” is being shown via the television broadcast system. Americans are being exposed to gay culture and are becoming more accepting of it because of the exposure. One show with a unique set of characteristics is Glee. Glee is a show on a national network with the reputation of being conservative: FOX, which makes it more surprising that the show also holds the record for number of non-heterosexual teenage characters on a prime time show (four).

The Glee has been one of the most popular sitcoms in recent years. It was identified as a gay-friendly show on the mainstream TV station. The show breaks the boundaries and stereotypes that have been set and present audience with the real world of gay and lesbian.

show that many used to watch is Glee. Glee is about a about a group of outcasts that try and make the glee club popular again. This takes place in a high school where the main focus is put upon the cheerleading and football teams. At the time nobody cares about nor wants to be associated with the glee club because they know that they would be judged and bullied. This thought process begins to change when Will Schuester, former glee club member, takes over the glee club and tries to bring it back
Being overly timid and lacking any form of singing expertise, I reluctantly enrolled into Glee Singing; a breadth subject for those that are socially-adept and those that exude bravado; and unbeknownst to me, Glee Singing was none of those preconceived notions. My stigmatised assumptions were relinquished when I attended my first singing tutorial, which was also when I came to a revelation - singing was the antidote in relieving myself from a stagnant uninspired lifestyle as it provided me with an
Why "Glee" Promotes Social Tolerance "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need." This song lyric sang by the "show choir" featured in Glee represents a theme that is carried throughout the shows storyline. The theme is one that can be applied to the idea of social tolerance and acceptance.

Considering that a down syndrome girl was a leading star in American Horror Story and Glee, missing limbs is not so jarring beyond my personal experience with those missing arms, legs, and eyes from daily life and my work in healthcare. But, what devastated me was the father’s reaction not due to the father’s personal horror, but how the

Jewishness, Whiteness, and Blackness on Glee: Singing to the Tune of Postracism, Rachel E. Dubrofsky articulates how Glee, in contrast to their postracial programing, represents postracism as ironic. This article argues that by “glorifying” Rachel’s Jewishness as white and assimilating Mercedez into white culture contradicts Glee’s philosophy on tolerating and celebrating differences. While Dubrofsky presents significant research supporting the view that although Glee perpetuates its show on diversity
Historically, societies have separated the sexes into male and female and assigned specific gender roles for each group to ‘perform’ and recognized that only heterosexual relationships, between a man and a woman, are normal. These ideologies of heteronormativity have been reinforced throughout various social institutions including the media where heteronormative portrayals have been considered as normal and standard. Mary F. Rogers mentions in her article “Hetero Barbie?” of how “Commonly intertwined
