Rise of the Guardians, which was directed by Peter Ramsey in 2012, which is a good movie because it teaches kids to always believe in yourself no matter what. He is soon to be a Guardian and which he does not want to be because no one believes in him in the world; not even a single soul. People should always believe in themselves even if no one else does to keep yourself up and never think your life does not have a purpose. Jack Frost is a character is a small side character that does not play a big role in this world. What he mostly does is freeze the world to get it ready for winter and to make it longer. Not many people pay attention to what makes it winter and just goes with it. They just know it is the time of the year and thinks “Wintertime all ready? Wow.” He tries his best to get out and be known, but once he is close enough to being known, another historical figure like the Tooth Fairy takes the spot. It happened when Jack was messing with some kids and one had a bobsleigh and he happened to make him go all around …show more content…

    Box Trolls was an interesting movie with an immense amount of insight to leadership and followership. The characters included: the box trolls (who humans looked down on), the man with the red hat (who was driven by greed), The lordship who wore a white hat, his daughter Winnie and the boy who was raised by the box trolls. The principles or ethics portrayed in the movie are valuable lessons. For instance, the Box troll’s exterminators kept following a questionable leadership. If a follower feels uneasy about a leader, it is important to question the motives for the actions taken and not follow directions that do not fit your values and ethics. Additionally, standing up for justice. The character or Minnie realized that the box trolls…

    Santa is a man that represents the Spirit of Christmas. Kris Kringle believed himself to be Santa Claus, and the courts even ruled he is not crazy. It really comes down to perception. I can deeply believe I am an angel and even convince others I am an angel. Does that mean I am crazy or are we not agreed on what that really means? Kris Kringle is Santa Claus, but we have to decide what that means. Does he have reindeer that fly and pull a sleigh with all the children of the world’s presents? Does he have time to go to every obedient child's house and fit through the chimney? Does he have magic? Is he all knowing? Of course not, but he is still Santa Claus. For one thing, Kris Kringle didn’t disagree when the parents of the children flat out said they needed to go and buy their children the gift Santa just said they would receive. For example, the lawyer putting Santa on trial even admitted that he was the one who purchased the gifts for his son.…

    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,…

    Jack Merridew

    Jack is the oldest of the group. He is a tall, thin, and bony boy with red hair and a freckled face. He symbolizes responsibility, barbaric behavior, evil, and irrational thinking. He symbolizes responsibility because he was responsible for the actions of his group, the hunters. As the head of the hunters, it was his job to make sure they were always on task and that they bring food (meat) for the rest of the group. He symbolizes barbaric behavior by the way he treats the littluns and Piggy. The natural instinct of any older human being is to comfort the little children when they are scared, frightened, and unsure of their actions. Jack frightens them even more by telling them that there was a beast that they would hunt it down. He betrays Ralph and the rest of the tribe by abandoning them and creating his own tribe, forcing half the group to join it. He is a savage because of the way he does things to get what he wants. Instead of simply asking, he raids Ralph’s camp to get fire and Piggy’s specs. He is evil because he refuses to hear out Ralph and Piggy and insists that he is right the whole time. Jack almost caused almost all of the catastrophes that happened in the book. He wasn’t thinking right in the way he led his tribe to act. He made them think that acting maliciously instead of being civil was the way to go. In the end, he set the whole island on fire just to hunt down Ralph so he could kill him. Jack had a dramatic change in his attitude that started to be revealed in Chapter 5 when he started to yell at Ralph, broke all the rules, and caused the whole assembly to leave. In the beginning, he was following what Ralph says and he was actually up for helping them get rescued. In Chapter 5 and…

    For generations, Walt Disney films have been a “must watch” by parents, children and their families. However, these people may not see the hidden meanings behind Disney films. Currently, children are constantly exposed to media and opinions inherently presented within television, films, radio, books and more. Disney films are no exception. The films Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty all reinforce traditional gender roles, and the idea that lightness is supreme and will help when it comes to goodness conquering evil.…

    Parents enjoyed watching this with their children because it was cute but also taught them a lesson of taking care of their environment (Rotten Tomatoes). Parents thought some parts of the movie was scary but it helped them learn to take care of their environment. All in the entire movie wasn’t too much different from the book (“Movie Review”).

Santa Claus, the world's beloved giver of gifts, transporter of toys, rider of reindeer, is more important than you might think. Most children only realize the minimum, that they have to behave, in order for Santa to bring them more presents. In reality, Santa is giving them the best gift of all,everlasting hope. Santa allows kids to have something to look forward to all year round, his arrival. The thought of his presence is like a beacon of hope, or belief for people of all ages.

    As soon as there's no civilization to keep him in line, he—unlike Ralph—falls out of line. Jacks ability for evil is huge, he leads the brutal slaughter of a pig—and then Simon. He fosters (encourages) rebellion. He has his minions beat a kid named Wilfred for some unspecified misdeed. He throws a spear at Ralph with "full intention" (11), trying to kill him, and then sends the minions after him to finish the job. But he couldn't do any of this without power. And somehow, he gets it. When he leaves Ralph's group, he convinces the others to come with him by promising a hunt. The pre-teen boys aren't interested in Ralph's boy-scout team-building and fire-watching. They want blood. And once Jack gets control, he turns from a choir boy into a, well, this: A great log had been dragged into the center of the lawn and Jack, painted and garlanded, sat there like an idol… Power lay in the brown swell of his forearms: authority sat on his shoulder and chattered in his ear like an ape. "All sit down." The boys ranged themselves in rows on the grass before him but Ralph and Piggy stayed a foot lower, standing on the soft sand. Jack ignored them for the moment, turned his mask down to the seated boys and pointed at them with his spear. (9.37, 52-56) By the end of the book, Jack has become a subhuman terror, inspiring panic in Ralph and awe in the rest of the boys. Or has he? Throughout the whole story, we get little…

    Jack is the symbol of evil. Being determined may not sound evil, but the actions of Jacks ambitious persona has had malicious outcomes. As Jack and Ralph are coming up with expectations for the group, Jack says, "we've got to have rules and obey them. After all, we're not savages. We're English, and the English are best at everything. So we’ve got to do the right things.” (42). Jack is determined to enforce rules, but after a while, he becomes rebellious and starts doing whatever he wants which is hunting. All Jack cares about is himself, and even though he is willing to establish rules, they will not apply to him. Jack has been blinded with savagery and he will do everything in his power to fulfill his own interests. When Jack calls for…
