Edward Scissorhand Speech
Good morning, everybody. Today, I want to talk about other worlds in The Ugly Duckling and Edward Scissorhands. The Ugly Duckling is a famous fairy tale by Andersen. I guess everybody know this fairy tale. It talks about a ugly duckling. In fact, he is not a duck, but when he was younger, he looks like a duck. Other animals exclude him, because of he is not look like other ducks, he is ugly. He was so sad, and left home by himself. After he became a swan, others think he is so beautiful, all of them love and praise him. Edward Scissorhands is a sad love movie, by Tim Burton, is talking about a built human, who looks like human, and has human feeling, but his hands are scissorhands. He come to a town, and loves a human girl. In the end, although they love each other, but they separate and never meet each other again.
There are many dialogues into The Ugly Duckling. From these dialogues between different animals, audience can see, this is a physical world, they exclude the duckling just because he is big, gray, ugly and different looks like other ducks. After the ugly duckling left his home, he meet the cat ‘Sonny’ and hen ‘chickey shortleg’. The composer compared cat, hen and duckling’s idea to show two different worlds. In hen’s life, she thinks lay eggs is the only one important thing to do, in cat’s life, he thinks can arch back, purr or make sparks is the only one important thing to do. They think make their host happy is their life. But the duckling does not think like that. He wants to free. In his world, the blue sky, the fresh air is the important thing.
Audience can see the duckling always by himself, he lived in his own world. When he lived at home, others exclude him, because he is ugly. After he left home, the cat and hen accept him, but they have different lifestyle, they could not understand the duckling, they think he is crazy. So he just can leave again.
This fairy tale is for children, it educates audience, that people could not laugh or exclude

But what if I told you about The Rocky Horror Picture Show?

    When the women are looking around downstairs they come across a bird cage in the cupboard. Mrs Hale observes the door is broken off and someone must have been "rough with it," suggesting the motive for the crime. When Mrs. Hale looks inside Mrs. Wrights sewing box hoping to find scissors she finds a box and inside is the dead bird wrapped in silk. The birds neck looked as if it had been strangled. The women recall that when Minne Foster was younger she was lively, wore pretty clothes and sung in the choir, they said "I heard she used to wear pretty clothes and be lively, when she was Minnie Foster, one of the town girls singing in the choir." The bird represented Minnie before she was married to Mr. Wright. Mrs. Hale says, "She-come to think of it, she was kind of like a bird herself-real sweet and pretty, but kind of timid and-fluttery. How- she- did- change." Minne and the bird were both caged, the bird was in stuck in an actual cage and Minne was stuck in the house all the time. Mr. Wright changed Mrs. Wright, he took all those good things away, he was controlling he didn’t allow her to see her friends or leave the house, he even stopped her from singing.

    The setting takes place near a pond where the ducks were swimming. The protagonist in this short fable, is Iktomi a greedy, mischievous, deceitful, lazy, and stupid. The antagonists are the ducks, the two trees, and the coyote. The plot is man against man which is Iktomi against the ducks and the coyote. Iktomi tricks the ducks into dancing around fire then kills them one by one. Iktomi wants revenge from the coyote but gets thrown into the fire instead. There is also man against the environment Iktomi against the wind. The wind and the trees won’t let him sleep and kept him from eating his meal. Also man against himself because of his own laziness and stupidity Iktomi isn’t able to eat the ducks. Instead of staying awake and doing the process of cleaning the ducks he does it by placing the ducks in open fire. That gave the opportunity for the coyote to eat the ducks. The theme of the story is that when you lie and deceive sooner or later it will catch up to you. The story is told by omniscient point of view because the author uses words such as he, they, and etc. Some other elements used in this short story are symbol, allegory, irony, and fantasy. “Iktomi and the Dancing Ducks” is allegory because everything is symbolic such as, the name of Iktomi, ducks, and the two trees. The name Iktomi symbolizes coward, malicious, lazy, and dishonest. The ducks represent innocence, the trees represent brothers, and the coyote stands for smart. Situational irony is very strong, since the results will be the opposite of what Iktomi expects. Iktomi assumes he will enjoy a good meal the “ducks”, but the…

    One is that it used an anthropomorphic approach; The narrator made it clear that it was a "love story", which is not scientifically-sound and would be against principles in biology, but is difficult to deny given such dramatic scenes such as the pain suffered by a mother who lost her child. The film reflected human-like aspects such as the closeness of the family unit. The chick and its parents are able to tell each other apart from their voices, both genders risk death in hopes of their chick's survival. The discipline these penguins have, as shown in the way they fall in line whenever they travel and the unconditional acceptance of the parents of ‘their turn', is something that us humans could learn from.…

    The Moon Cannot Be Stolen

    • 674 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The short story began with a character named Ryokan, a Zen master; he lived a very calm, collective, and simple life. These character traits can be described as Ryokan because the setting illustrates this. First when saying, “lived the simplest kind of life in a little hut at the foot of the mountain” this portrays the character appreciating nature. Creating a natural setting from the given resources around a person can give the character a better understanding of nature; because, it will show an adaptation and reliance on the resources. In the story, have such a simple life—nothing to his name—the man is not struck by the occurrence of being robbed because he had nothing much to give. Finally, after the thought of being robbed the man decides to hand the robber his clothes; for summary, in order for the man is not left empty handed. He then sits to appreciate nothing but the moon. This shows that Ryokan, the Zen master, is not of need of the clothing nor anything materialistic in order to survive. This goes to show that nature (his moon) is all he needs and that no one can take that away from him. Thus, he felt that if he could give the fair stranger the nature that maybe he would have a better understanding as well. That one will never be lost on the understanding of nature; because, it has created his life and will further direct…

    This fairy tale in itself is ironic due to the fact hat the very first paragraph of the entire story is dedicated to the author’s refusal to write a story for children. Another situation of irony is presented in that the only thing relating the author’s tale to that of a children’s story is the setting. A happy family in a “perfect” little suburb makes it seem like a story for children, but by the time the story finds its end, readers are left completely shocked.…

    Truth and falsehood are major themes in The Wild Duck. Gregers is determined that Hjalmar learn the truth about Gina's past and why Hakon Werle has been so helpful to the family.

He leads a contented life and actively seeks to avoid unpleasantness, as he childishly tells Gregers. Gina protects Hjalmar from unpleasant economic realities, truly catering to all his needs, both his physical and emotional ones. Hedvig adores him, never seeing how he makes use of her love. For instance, though he worries about her sight, he lets her do eye-straining work of retouching photographs so he can play in the attic with his father. His life is based on one simple, yet determined falsehood: the photographic device that he will never invent.…
