In the novel the Hobbit, Bilbo and the dwarfs are travelling in the mountains in the rainy days of summer, where they are on a quest to find Smaug’s treasure. While the smell of wet earth filled their noses, kili and fili (2 of the dwarfs) saw a cave where the they could rest. As they entered, they could taste fear, and had a feeling about something nearby. They slept, and they woke up to find their pony's tail sliding into a crack. It was morning at the time, and gobling ran out of the crack, as it got bigger. The only thing bilbo could hear was the goblins screaming “kill them!’’ ‘’Kill them. out came the goblin king (he was like a lion!). In no time , Gandalf the wizard, had a sword through him. They heard a voice out of the crack ‘’follow…
The real main character of The outsiders is still Ponyboy. After all it seems like he wrote the book because of one full circle quote. “ When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home…” (Pg 1 and 180). In addition to having him write the book he is ultimately the main character because it is written from his point of view. For example, almost every line in the book has him thinking in it or describing something through his eyes. “I had walked down…” (Pg 31) or “...this church gave me a creepy feeling.” (Pg 67). All in all Ponyboy has changed as a character through the book and is indeed the main character.…
Next, Chucky is a villain because he is clever enough that people must lend him respect. In the movie Child's Play, Chucky went to see his voodoo doctor named John who once has taught him the spell of how to transform a body. Chucky was shocked when he got shot and did not think anyone could hurt him. However, the wound hurts him and it even bled. Chucky wanted the respect from John to help transform his body back to a human, but he refuses to help Chucky. John tries to call someone on the phone, and Chucky follows him. Chucky knew that the man was not going to agree to help him, so he uses a voodoo doll of John and broke one of John's leg. He then asked him again and John still refuses his request and Chucky broke one of his arms. Chucky took…
Lennie truly loves George and treat him properly not just as a mentally disabled person or as disabled seen when he states, “He’s awright. Just ain't bright,” (Steinbeck 23.) This is just like how the narrator is too innocent and uninformed to comprehend that Doodles sickness is real. For this reason, the narrator does not treat Doodle any differently than he would, a normal child.…
“We might go in your umbrella… I shall call this boat The Brain of Pooh, said Pooh and Christopher Robin” (Shepard 133-134). The story of Pooh is centered on imaginative thoughts, action, and problem solving which you can find in almost every chapter. In the story of Winnie-the-Pooh, the main characters, Pooh, Christopher Robin, and others, use imaginative action to enhance a child’s imagination providing a sense of hope to accomplish the children’s goals. Reading this engaging action story, of all the fun adventures Pooh and friends go on, expands a child’s imagination, by identifying the characters imagination, thoughts, and ideas; particularly in this paper we will focus on chapter one.…
In William Golding's Lord of the Flies, he describes the loss of innocence a group of English boys on an island after a shipwreck. Many important objects and passages in the book are symbolic of civilization and human nature, so I chose the passage in Chapter 10, about Piggy realizing Jack stole his spectacles.…

Snow White’s story starts out like most. Once upon a time, in a peaceful kingdom, there lived the most beautiful woman that ever was. She was married to the kingdom’s most handsome ruler. The king and queen were very much in love and soon after courtship they were expecting a child. Pregnancy was not what the beautiful queen expected. She had aches and pains, swelling, and she gained weight everywhere. One night, deep into her pregnancy, the queen felt sharp pains in her stomach. She woke up her husband in a rush – the baby was coming. As the pregnancy had been, the delivery was painful. The queen suffered hours of contractions and labor. The king was by her side the whole time; while he was not happy that his love was in pain, he was excited…
While it is important to have competition, what is more important is to be a humble and hard-worker. In Walt Disney’s version of Snow White, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the dwarfs symbolize the common working man both in modern times as well as before, during, and after World War II and the Great Depression. The dwarves work in mines just like most men would do in the 1930’s. The dwarves exemplify of what it truly means to work hard. They show us today in this modern era that if you truly want something you have to “pull yourself by your own boot straps” and work for it. The film reminds us that once again you must start from scratch and work your way…
In the novel ‘of mice and men’ many of the characters John Steinbeck has chosen for the book display both physical and mental impairments. Some characters that have been discriminated in the book are Lennie, Candy, Crooks and Curleys Wife. By putting characters like these into the book Steinbeck is illustrating how hard life was for anyone who couldn’t look after themselves during the great depression.…
This paper aims to analyze different females’ fate in different times in terms of background and other factors based on two Disney cartoons, The Snow White and Frozen, in order to illustrate the importance of controlling the fate of their own for women.…
The once innocent moral tale used to teach little girls a lesson has developed into many convoluted adaptations that apply some of modern societies most problematic issues. Both the Perrault and Grimm version of Little Red Riding Hood both point out the consequences of straying of the path. While Perrault’s Little Red Riding Hood ends with the wolf having eaten the innocent little girl, Grimm’s Little Red Cap has a hero who swoops in to save her and grandma. The movie, Freeway (1996) directed by Matthew Bright, subverts qualities found in the fairytales and puts a modern twist on it. Vanessa Lutts, our new Little Red Riding Hood, strays of the path, saves herself, and is definitely not the innocent little girl that Grimm and Perrault imagined;…
Yeh Ling-Ling continued on explaining that “Mass immigration impacts minorities and the working class the most, the very people liberals want to protect.” I understand the author’s point of view, however immigrants came here for a better life, therefore they should not have a negative impact on many minorities because these people can get educated and become established citizens and will most likely be available to many resources than legal immigrants can. Immigration doesn’t just happen and leave a negative impact, there are multiple positive impacts that could even benefit the minorities as well such as; when a documented immigrant works, their wages are spent on necessities which benefits the country and the state which they reside,…
Fairy Tales and MTV: A modern retelling of the classic fairy tale of Snow White played by Snooki and the cast of the Jersey Shore.…
John Pizer’s criticism of Donald Barthelme’s Snow White talks about the origin story of Snow White and how this modern adaptation completely skews the classic tale. The concept of the “anti-fairy tale” is brought up as Pizer compares Barthelme’s tale to those that preceded his. Barthelme is derives influence from multiple sources which focus on the disenchantment of the iconic Disney princess. From these influences, a new and much more jaded version of Snow White appears in which the traditional morals associated with her character are inverted and satirized.…
