    MariaNotte compare contrast rough draft

    Modern Halloween has become less literal about ghosts and ghouls and more about costumes and candy. The holiday is overflowing with action on its reserved night. Kids are so anxious to drag their parents out the door, show off their creative costumes, and ring their first doorbell for a fun-filled night of trick-or-treating as soon as the dismissal bell for school rings. High school students wait until the whole group of friends is together before they head out into the misty darkness with only the flickering street light to guide them. Meanwhile, adults are sipping on their witches brew at a local party or nightclub.…

    The Grinch Who Stole Christmas

    The Grinch Who Stole Christmas has many versions which originate from Dr. Seuss’s narrative poem. The most recent 2001 film by Universal pictures, produced by Ron Howard, has similarities, yet there are many differences in the movie plot. The poem’s similarities are the basis for the movie adaptation. The movie’s differences help to round out the characters and plot, describe character motivations, and enhance the entertainment value.…

    Stephen Tobolowsky's The Santa Conspiracy

    Tobolowsky’s article echoes thoughts and feelings about Santa, fears about life, and general doubts that are common to almost every child at some point in his or her life. Stephen describes childhood events and his own propensity toward fear and doubt in a frank and humorous manner that reminds me of Ralphie’s narration in A Christmas Story. Underneath the humor, however, there exists the real torment of doubt and fear that Stephen experiences, fear of the dark, fear of strange noises at night, fear of monsters living in his bedroom. While these fears simply frustrate his well-intentioned parents, they drive Stephen to create remedies of his own to allay his fears. However,…

    Huck Finn

    Is it fair to deprive students from historical realities in a piece of classic literature, simply because some content is inappropriate? The question of whether or not the novel “Huck Finn,” by Mark Twain should be banned in schools strikes a lot of controversy. I believe the answer to this question is no, it should not be banned. One of the most controversial elements in this novel is Twain’s use of derogatory terms directed towards slaves. Some people feel that the use of the “N” word is offensive, and that students should not be exposed to this. However, Mark Twain’s word choice comes from terms used in a historical time period, and it should not be denied or forgotten. What is important, is that this time period is long over, thus, students should be able to keep this in mind and read “Huck Finn” for its moral purposes. Although some ideas involving race are considered controversial, I believe these can be easily look passed, due to the educational benefit of the novel. “Huck Finn,” By Mark Twain, should be continued to be taught in schools due to its important moral lessons, the way it teaches kids to form perspective, and its educational purpose of teaching kids about a historical time period that they can learn and progress from. It should be taught in schools to be used as a classic piece of literature that students can truly learn from.…

    The Movie 'The Transformation Of Pumpkin'

    Although the movie Pumpkin is focused around Carolyn’s university struggles with her personal life, sorority life, and romantic life, Pumpkin demolishes the barricade between the stereotypes of a disabled person, and their true aptitude. Carolyn waits with her sorority one sunny day for the van full of people with various disabilities to arrive. She was assigned Pumpkin, and together she impatiently trains him in qualified Special-Olympic sports. Not until after she opens herself up to him, does she fall in love with a man who is publicly frowned upon. Pumpkin emerges from his crippling wheelchair, and progresses until he is able to fight able-bodied people. Pumpkin's writer and director, Adam Larson Broder, characterizes claims from both writers Rosemarie Garland-Thomson the author of “Looking Away Staring Back”, and Robert Bogdan the author of “The Social Construction of Freaks”. The scene that Pumpkin fights Kent, shows both putting someone with disabilities on display, as well as forcing Pumpkin into a real world situation where he isn’t interacted with as different or even pitied. Broder has Pumpkin brawl with Kent in order to show the quick staggering change as Pumpkin is transformed into a person with a seemingly normal social life, because his display in the fight…

    Huck Finn

    In the article that I chose, it talks about the important and the significance female characters in the novel. These female character, although play minor roles. They help portray the narrator’s journey for his destiny. Ellison feels that their roles were necessary to strengthen the novel to carry the plot of the novel. In Invisible Man, Ellison portrays two sexes as separate individuals. He creates a sex and a color line as well in his novel, and compares and contrasts the traits of black and white women characters in the novel. The writer then describes the white female and black female character. The white characters (women) were very important in the novel. In the novel, a white female, saved the narrator life after he made the eviction speech. Also a white woman, Edna, put a welcome mat to the Brotherhood. And it was a white woman who came to the protagonist's rescue and took care of him after a humiliating episode where he was asked to sing and entertain the white people.…
