Midterm

For our midterm we watched the pilot of Leverage. This is the first time I have seen and even heard of this show. In the episode I did see examples of gender performance and a difference in classes. The girl Parker had actions that resembled a man. She was sitting bombs, being sneaky, and stealing useful information. All of those characteristics we would normally place on a male. It seemed like she wanted to get back at the bad guy. Parker appears to be a beautiful woman, but she is a hard ass. Elloit is the opposite. He has long hair, like what a woman would have, but he is masculine about his job. Even though he has triat about him that make him appear on the feminine side, his actions make him appear very masculine.
