This leads to the others in Horton’s town praising him for saving the tiny people. The whole time Horton kept expressing, “a person’s a person, no matter how small.” (Dr. Seuss). The morals of his wacky characters are relevant in today’s bioethics regarding respecting life. An organism, no matter how small, is significant in the cycle of life. An example is the earth worm.

    In the movie, A Street Car Named Desire, Blanche uses the quote, “I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, Yes, magic! I try to give that to people." to explain her desire for her fantasy life to become reality. Blanches fantasy life would restore her youth, forgive her past and she would be more welcomed by people like Stanley and Mitch. I do agree with her statement, and believe that living in a “fantasy world” for a short period of time can be beneficial, but I do not agree with the circumstances Blanches is doing so by. Blanche wants to forget the death of her husband, the termination of her position as a schoolteacher caused by a discovered affair with a high school aged boy and the loss of her childhood home and plantation.

    A Christmas Carol, both the play and the movie, have many similarities with just as many differences. Although the movie was created as a follow-up to the play, there were many times where the movie was completely different.

Although watching the movie is easier, in order to get all of the facts straight, it would be better to read the script or see the play.…
