    Cinderella And Princess Culture Analysis

    In the article, “Cinderella and Princess Culture”, Peggy Orenstein, a contributing writer for New York Times Magazine, explores the successful “princess” market and how it negatively impacts young children. Orenstein claims that the princess culture promotes a common gender stereotype of women to young children, especially young girls; therefore, society should lessen the encouragement of being a “princess” and fortify their promotion to a more strong-willed role model (327). Although the article contains evidence to support her claim, Orenstein is unsuccessful because of the use of her biases and opinions placed throughout the article, that expresses her own negative views toward princesses and the feministic reinforcements she makes on her own daughter.…

    Alice walker was born February 9, 1944 in Eatonton, Georgia the youngest of the eight children of sharecroppers Willie Lee and Minnie Lou Grant Walker (poetry.org).

    Beauty: When the Other Dancer Is the Self

    I believe that Alice Walker chose those specific incidents from her childhood to show how she thought of herself and her beauty before the incident with the BB gun. It gives the reader a better understanding of how the incident would negatively affect Walker because of how much she valued being pretty. It also helps to show how much her personality dramatically changed after she had her beauty stripped away by the BB gun.…

    Ballet and Giselle

    Giselle is considered one of the great Romantic ballets. Romantic era was late 18th and early 19th centuries. The period mainly does not follow rational movements but rather Romantic ideas in art influence the ballets. Ballets in Romantic period focus on the conflict between man and nature where as others try to bring difference to ballets from other nations. Ballerinas stand in the forefront compared to male dancers. Giselle is one of the most popular ballerinas of the period and separate identity of the scenarist from the choreographers is distinguishing feature of Giselle as being a Romantic ballet. Both the classical version of Giselle and contemporary has the same story but different interpretations, as I will analyze them in this paper.…

    The Dancing Girl of Izu

    My favorite author is Yasunari Kawabata, was born in June 14, 1899 and died in April 16, 1972. He is a Japanese short story writer and the first Japanese author to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature. His works combined the beauty of old Japan with modernist trends. Kawabata’s books have been described as melancholy lyricism and often explore the place of sex within culture and within individual lives. “The Dancing Girl of Izu” is a story like this, my favorite story is The Dancing Girl of Izu, I like him because of this short story, it is a beautiful love story about a melancholy high school student meets a young dancer on a walking trip down Izu Peninsula, and he falls in love with this young dancer finally. They spend a memorable time together but their love affair is predestined to be impossible because of the hierarchy and the feudal system. In that time, artists are the most low-class occupation in Japan. I believe that Kawabata never thought artists can be so rich and important people. When I first read this story in high school, I was hooked by his timeless lyrical style and exoticism.…
