696 words
The other day, I was watching a documentary on
Fast Times At Ridge Mont High. Originally, they
had a scene where moviegoers would see full
frontal nudity of a man. When sent in to
Universal, the movie was rated X. Why is it that
full female nudity is only rated R, but male
nudity must carry a X rating? When the director
asked that question, Universal said, The male form
is more aggressive. I thought for a long while
about this. I think it only goes to artistic
value, but obviously other see the ...

those he created for his most famous character.
However his reasons for writing and the techniques
he administers in portraying his characters make
it obvious that he was the basis for the character
of Emma Bovary. Of course he failed to add that so
are you and I, we are all the victims of
unrealized or unre...
