    The film “The Breakfast Club” directed by John Hughes is a compelling film that illustrates the inner working of the teenage mind-set. A film quite literally opens your eyes to how teenagers work within different stereotypes. John Hughes is able to show how although each character may give the impression that everything is “OK” but really, on the inside their whole life is just constant stress. This stress, which numerous things, including their parents and peers brought on, effected them in a way in which throughout the film, we as the audience have more insight into their lives as teenagers. Many of the characters in this film are easily relatable; however, Hughes has been able to show the differences within the inner workings of their…

    Movies are a special tool that can keep one company when they are in a moody situation. It is a contrivance that is being used almost all over the world by different types of people for a particular purpose. There are diverse film genres like comedy, action, family, musical, and romance that are being produced each year in the twenty-first century but however, the twentieth century has contributed various types of classic films such as King Kong, Annie Hall, which can never be forgotten. One of most memorable, teenage romantic films of all time would have to go to Rebel without a Cause because it tells how the present day teenage love life is like, “a romance set among teenagers seeking satisfaction outside the traditional systems, misunderstood by their parents, misunderstanding and mistrusting of their parents' values” (Tomlinson par2). A movie that includes a variety of elements deserves being…

    One favorite vacation spot is the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaiian Islands offer a rich and varied environment with many marvelous and amazing features. One may see pristine beaches bordered by clear blue waters, snow capped mountains, volcanoes and their lava flows, tropical forests and beautiful waterfalls. It is the very essence of paradise punctuated with fresh fruit and umbrella garnished cocktails far removed from my everyday routine. Oahu, Hawaii and Maui are the islands most frequented by visitors and the three largest islands in the state.…

    Life of Pi is the kind of story that really makes you think. There were so many different aspects of the book that I didn’t understand when we started reading that make sense now. One of those features is Pi’s story. During the time when we read that section of the book I didn’t even think about the truth behind it, I just read. Now that we have finished the book and we got to hear both of Pi’s stories, I’m not sure which I believe, but if I had to choose I would say the one with the animals is real. After saying that I do think that Pi is a reliable narrator. I think the first story he tells is nothing but the real truth. In the authors note, in the beginning of the book, the person talking to Yann Martel says, “I have a story that will make you believe in God.” (page x) I think that this “tall order” as Yann Martel says, was filled.…

    Life of Pi opens with a fictional author’s note, explaining the origins of the book. The author explains that while in India and floundering on the book he is trying to write, he travels to Pondicherry, where an elderly man, Mr. Adirubasamy, tells him he has a story for him that will make him believe in God. Adirubasamy tells the author about Pi, who the author manages to find in Canada, where Pi relates his story.That story begins in Chapter 1. Pi describes his education at the University of Toronto, his double major in religion and zoology, and why he is so fascinated by the sloth, an incredibly indolent creature. He says that his great suffering has made all subsequent pains both more unbearable and more trifling. He loves Canada, although he misses India deeply. In Chapter 2, the author intervenes as narrator, describing Pi telling his story. In Chapter 3 we learn Pi’s full name, Piscine Molitor Patel, and how he got it: he was named for a great pool, called the Piscine Molitor, in which his father’s business associate and close friend, Francis Adirubasamy, swam in while in Paris. Pi’s father was a hotel manager, but left the business because he wanted to start a zoo, which he did in Pondicherry. Pi defends the zoo and attacks the common understanding of animals in the wild as free, and animals in a zoo as "unfree", for freedom in the wild is a myth: animals are restricted by their survival needs and their instincts. When Piscine is 12, one of his classmates starts calling him “Pissing,” so when Piscine graduates to Petit Seminaire, he shortens his name to Pi. At Petit Seminaire Pi has a biology teacher, Mr. Kumar, who comes to the zoo often and talks to Pi about his atheism. He becomes one of Pi’s favorite teachers. Pi describes the danger man poses to the animals in a zoo- the bad things he feeds them, the way he harms, tortures and kills them. One day Pi’s father takes him and Ravi to the big cat house and makes them promise to never…

    Have you ever been so nervous you were sweating uncontrollably? The methodical and repetitive whizzing of spherical objects speeding over your head at unimaginable speeds. Then you stand up, not knowing what awaits you. All of a sudden, you look like an eccentric christmas tree on steroids. Or have you ever been so fascinated by the culture around you that you end up walking into a palm tree? If not, Hawaii is the place for you. I had never experienced either of those feelings until I went to Hawaii for the first time.…

    the little mermaid

    • 305 Words
    • 2 Pages

    For the first twelve years of my life fairy tales, princesses, and Disney shaped how I saw the world around me. Through their movies and fairy tales, Disney made me believe that animals could talk, toys could come alive, and of course that for every girl there was a prince charming in her future. The problem is, Disney creates these happy tales when the original versions aren't quite as loving and chipper. While the Disney empire creates nice pictures of "happily-ever-after," there are great alterations to the original versions while inculcating cultural values without necessarily examining them. 
 
 In Disney’s movie The Little Mermaid, Ariel, a sixteen-year-old mermaid princess, is dissatisfied with life under the sea and curious about the human world. Ariel fills a secret cave with all the human artifacts she has found and collected. She frequently goes to the forbidden surface to visit Scuttle the seagull, who gives her very inaccurate and comical knowledge of human life. Ignoring the warnings from her father and Sebastian that contact between mer-people and humans would be tragic, Ariel still longs to be a part of the human world. This being an example, Ariel portrays many traits which would seem typical to a teenage girl. She rebels against her father, struggles to remember important things, she wants what she cannot have, and spends most of her time pining over Prince Charming. 
 
 As I mentioned before, Disney doesn't create these stories themselves. In this particular case there is Hans Christian Anderson's 1863 version of a tale much darker. In his version,The Little Mermaid lives in an underwater kingdom with her father the sea king; her grandmother; and her six sisters. When they turn 15, they are allowed to swim to the surface to see the world above. Where as, for Disney, the surface is forbidden no matter what.…

    Treasure Island In the very first sentence of the novel, Jim tells us that he is recounting the story of Treasure Island because Squire Trelawney, Dr. Livesey, and other gentlemen have asked him to write it down. Stevenson’s choice of Jim as a narrator is noteworthy and unexpected, since the adult men have greater life experience, education, and verbal skills than this young boy has, and would seem to be able to bring more perspective to the narrative.…
