I chose this image of Fiona from Shrek because this is when she's seen as most "beautiful" to all of the humans in the movie. As Dyer described, white womanhood is emphasized through "glowing" placements of light. Here, Fiona has light cast on her from behind her, as movies were said to have done (and likely still do) to emphasize the angelic/ethereal aspects of white womanhood. In contrast, Fiona as an ogre is never seen as beautiful by the humans because of her "race" (as an Ogre, not in our definitions of race).

Choose one of the themes from her results and create your own meme as an example of that theme using Canva's free meme template (or another meme template that you prefer).

Padlet #1: Benjamin Reading (Due 5/19 by 8pm)

PROMPT: The reading mentions that "If names are social codes that we use to make assessments about people, they are not neutral but racialized, gendered, and classed in predictable ways" (p. 4).

Post one meme or GIF that sums up the social code of your name (how it might be raced, gendered, or classed). Then, post one other meme of your own experience or feeling about/with your name. How does your name represent you, not to other people, but to you?

I'll comment below some other keywords and concepts to pay attention to for this chapter. Have fun!
