The Lady And The Tiger Analysis
In the story of The Lady And The Tiger ,there is a semi barbaric king that has no descriptive name. He ruled a kingdom of havoc yet beauty. In this kingdom there is also an arena, in this arena people were judged by chance. There are two doors that have one thing inside each door. One has a lady, and one has a tiger. If you chose the one with the lady in it you would get married on the spot despite your other wife, and would have to start a new life with new children. This is what I think the king and the kingdom may be in real life and how this story may have actually happened back in the olden days.

His actions may have to be one of the best ways to find out who the king may have been based on. And one way is his actions. In my opinion he was a fair king, even though he was crazy and killed possibly allot of people, he was really fair in his judgments. But not as fair, he sent them to an arena to chose their fate. Either be married on the spot and live a longer life. Or die right where you stand by being eaten by a hungry lion. The one problem was that the people that really deserved to die had a 50% chance to also live longer than what he deserved. I also think that the author also tried to show

But she did hint the 2 possible endings in the end of the book. One was that the princess told the knight the door with the lion and he chose the opposite door. And the other one was the princess told him to open the one with the lion in it and he opened it and died. In my opinion I don't like either of the endings but i guess that's what you get when you have a jealous, dumb, bratty princess that is obsessed with this brave knight. How ever what i think may happen is… she points to the door with the lady in it and at night she kills the lady and runs away with the knight and live happily ever after… THE END. and that's is my opinion on the king and how the story played

    Within this story, the royal family is given distinguishing traits that explain why the princess would choose death upon her lover. Because she is the daughter of a “semi-barbaric king” (Stockton 2), the thought of her companion getting eaten by a tiger might be more accepting than losing him to another woman. The princess’s uncivilized mind would overrule the appropriate decision, and choose the tiger.…

    The princess in “The Lady or the Tiger” struggles when determining the youth’s fate either consisting of death or marriage to another beautiful lady as she contemplates “Which [door to open. The answer is] as plain to her as if [the youth] shouted it from where he stood. There was not an instant to be lost. The question [of which door to open] was asked in a flash; it must be answered in another” (Stockton 302). The princess is forced to decide the youth’s fate in a split second. The short amount of time that is taken for her to make her decision suggests that her emotions may have overruled reason and could lead to her regretting her decision later in life. In a single second, lives could be drastically changed. Up until the last moment, the youth, that the princess had loved, believes that she will spare him; he has a blind faith in the princess and trusts in her choices. The king’s daughter’s heart is torn during this point of decision. She must decide whether she would prefer to see the youth dead or with the lady whom she…

    Because she is clearly in love with him, she seems to stand firm on her opinion that the thought of another woman being with him is sickening. Finally, the princess believes that it would be less complicated if he were to die so that she may see him again in the afterlife. The princess was repulsive toward the idea of the ‘young man’ being with another woman. Therefore, if he were to die by the hands (or paws; tee hee) of the tiger, then they could be together in the afterlife. Furthermore, it was illegal for a servant/peasant to be in love with the princess; therefore, making the decision easier. If the two lovers cannot be together while they were alive, then they could be together in the afterlife when the two of them had both passed. In conclusion, the princess signaled for the ‘young man’ to open the door with the tiger because: the princess was semi-barbaric and relished in the sight of blood/violence, she was more afraid of seeing the ‘young man’ with another woman, and they could simply be with one another in the afterlife (due to the laws that outlaw all romance between royalty and non-royalty.) So the next person that is to read the shocking story, choose correctly when given the honoring opportunity to select the…

    Taking aim at the young adult demographic, Jesse Andrews’ fictional work Me and Earl and the Dying Girl is a force to be reckoned with. Written from the perspective of Greg Gaines, the awkward high school senior protagonist, who by choice does not belong to any one social group. With no ‘friends’ but a ‘co-worker’ Earl, he makes mediocre film parodies. Greg documents what happened to him during his senior year when his mother forces him to befriend a girl he once knew, Rachel, who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. The pair form a genuine friendship as Greg tries not to form any emotional attachment, as he believes would be the end of the world.…

    When two people are in the same situation one would assume that their reactions would be similar in nature. However, each person has his or her own unique personality traits and emotions, which are reflected in their response to the event. One can see the distinct personality of each character in his/her response. This is clearly illustrated through Duncan's murder in Shakespeare's play, Macbeth. In Act II, scene ii, both Lady Macbeth and Macbeth initially seem to respond in a similar manner, however as the scene progresses the diverse reactions are quite easily observed as one character becomes more decisive and the other more distressed.…

Rosenwald, talked about how ruthless parents are wanting their kids to become professional athletes which is causing them to take the fun out of the game.

    Sleeping Beauty Analysis

    The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood, by Charles Perrault, has a clear Christian theme. This is because it was written in France during the late seventeenth century for the enjoyment of royalty. The readers would undoubtedly be Catholic, the religion of the royalty, so Charles Perrault wrote for that audience. The fairy tale begins with the princess being granted gifts from several fairies shortly after her birth. This is similar to the sacrament of baptism. Also, the prince and princess marry shortly after they meet, so as to ensure sexual abstinence beforehand.…
