    The first part of Perkowski’s analysis encompasses the information sources for the film, which includes the movie, the director, and the major actors and actresses of the film. The movie, The Lost Boys tells the story of a group of vampires who terrorize the fictional town of Santa Carla, California, until a group of younger teenagers kills them. The film, as indicated by the title, did get some of its inspiration from the original Peter Pan. The similarities are evident in how the vampires and all the teens in the films live in a world that attempts to avoid adult intrusion at all costs. The vampires also supposedly never die, which is similar to in how Peter Pan’s lost boys never aged. There are also many similarities between Captain Hook and Max as they both threaten the adult-free and rule-free life both groups of “lost boys”…

    Challenges or distractions need to be overcome in order to have a positive journey. There are many situations concerning challenges in ‘Lord of the Flies’. One of these occurs when the young schoolboys are stranded on a deserted island during World War II. This major obstacle must be overcome for the journey to be resolved. The boys are very young, and at first see their situation as an opportunity for adventure. Golding shows this through the use of language relevant to children, highlighting the innocence and naivety of the boys when they first arrive on the island. An example of this is when Ralph assures the boys that his “daddy” will rescue them soon. The only sign of maturity comes from Piggy, who realises the danger of their situation, as he tells Ralph “We got to find the others. We got to do something.” Piggy is a symbol for intelligence, and tells the boys and the reader that being stranded on the island is in fact a challenge that they need to overcome.…

    One would believe that a movie based on a storybook would have the same plot. In comparing and contrasting the movie Tangled to the short story “Rapunzel”, one can find many differences and very few similarities. Tangled was developed by Disney and has grossed 590 million dollars in the first year; however, “Rapunzel” is only a folk tale handed down through the years until it was finally written down in the 1800s. This is only the beginning of the differences. Looking closely at the plots, one can definitely see there is a difference in the two.…

    When you think of the Roaring Twenties, Jazz musicians, The Harlem Renaissance, and flappers all come to mind. They all remind you of great joy and happiness. Light-weight contender James J. Braddock was an average family man living a great, successful life in the United States during the year of 1928. When the Great Depression hit due to the stock market crash, James’ life started to go downhill and it was becoming harder for him to provide for his family. After losing an unsuccessful boxing fight to Abe Feldman, Braddock won no money and he got fired from his boxing career. He also suffered from a broken hand. On the day of June 13th, 1935, Braddock got an opportunity to fight heavyweight champion Max Baer for $250.00. Unlike Baer, Braddock was fighting for his family and not for fame. Since Braddock was struggling with his personal and financial life like many others during this time, people found it easy to relate to him. The fact that Braddock was struggling and that he was fighting for his family was what made him become a hero to the common man.…

    The story traces how each of the children (who, when compared, seem to greatly contrast each other) end up developing during the course of their journey. One great transformation happens to the oldest child: Peter. From the beginning he seems to be filled with many qualities that one would find in a good leader, yet his leadership ability is still able to grow even greater as the story progresses (McCarthy). This growth can be seen when he shows good judgment by deciding to stay in Narnia to try and rescue his…

    Life of Pi

    Life of Pi, written by Yann Martel is one of Canada"'"s most acclaimed books. It tells the story of sixteen-year-old Pi Patel"'"s journey while he discovers religion and his own determination and strength. This book is highly recommended for many reasons including the insightful views expressed on religion and life, the interesting facts on zoology, and the author"'"s unique talent in making something that at first glance seemed totally unrealistic become reality – humour inserted along the way! First of all, it is obvious that Pi Patel learns to have a very open mind when it comes to religion as he has embraced three of them, resulting in a unique Hindu-Christian-Muslim boy. His interesting views on the different religions lead the readers to broaden their horizons and have an open mind to different religions. His analogies were also quite humorous, for example, when comparing the crucifixion of Jesus Christ to his father feeding him to the lions because the latter killed two llamas, a black buck, a camel, painted storks, grey herons, and '"'who"'"s to say for sure who snacked on our golden agouti?'"'. In addition, Pi Patel"'"s journey helped him have a great view on life and its value, allowing him to give many anecdotes that make the reader stop and think. For example: '"'I have nothing to say of my working life, only that a tie is a noose, and inverted though it is, it will hang a man nonetheless if he"'"s not careful.'"' Secondly, this book is packed with zoological information including mating, hunting, and sleeping habits of a variety of animals from hippopotamuses to '"'meerkats'"' (small African carnivorous burrowing mammals). Also, it includes many circus trainer tactics for lions and tigers, such as using foreign surroundings, having an erect posture, a calm demeanour, a steady gaze, a fearless step forward, a strange roar, etc. Also, Pi Patel"'"s very original view on how animals are indeed happy in a zoo was very enlightening for anyone who has…
