Review of Academic Sources

As I have mentioned in my previous blog, for this paper, I have been researching the Roma/Romani Genocide which occurred during the Second World War. This has been the most difficult paper to research so far, simply because there are not as many easily accessible resources for this subject. However, I am trying my best and have found the USC library resources helpful. 

This source that I found from The National WWII Museum: New Orleans, summarizes some of the traumatic experiences these Roma victims faced, "known as “Gypsies”...to outsiders, the people who called themselves Roma, Sinti, and Manouches (among others) were declared to be of alien blood under Germany’s Nuremberg Laws and suffered under the same genocidal regime as Europe’s Jews," but also details what life was like for them after the War. 

I would recommend this resource to my classmates who are interested in WWII and understadning the true hatred and horrors which were spread at that time.

    You mentioned a difficulty to find sources. I was wondering if you included this reason in your paper? "lack of evidence"

"Fat Amy" The Funny Fat Friend

  "Fat Amy" The Funny Fat Friend     Pitch Perfect was one of my favorite films growing up and always made me fantasize about going off to college one day, maybe joining an a cappella group and having a fun, supportive group of friends, from many different backgrounds. Reflecting on the film now, however, especially as someone who struggles with body image, I find Rebel Wilson’s character of Fat Amy to be a bit problematic. Although she is a very funny and confident young woman, most of her humor revolves around her weight.        We see examples of this as soon as the character is introduced in the film. When Aubrey, the leader of the Barden Bellas (Barden University's female a cappella group), meets Fat Amy and questions her name, Fat Amy says, “it used to be Medium Sized Amy, but you know… Freshman 50,” a play on the term “Freshman 15,” used to describe the weight some students may gain during their first year of college. ...
