    This situation is similar to the situation that Ralph talk to Jack about the fire. These two leaders are all want the fire and they are arguing about who can get it. For personal connection, I find something interest with the situation that Jack and Ralph are fighting by their fist. The writer notes, “Jack swung with his fist at Ralph and aught him on the ear. Ralph hit Jack in the stomach and made him grunt. Then they were facing each other again, panting and furious, but unnerved by each other's ferocity.” My father and grandfather like to watch boxing at home. Sometimes I was also watch these competitions with them. So that, I connect Ralph and Jack ‘s behaviors to two pugilists are fighting in a competition. They just wear boxing gloves and boxer shorts.

Yet, the full scope of her character leaves the reader feeling more sympathetic.…

In 2005, it won an Academy Award for "Best Animated Feature Film of the Year" beating the movies "Shark Tale" and "Shrek 2". The film starts off as an interview with three superheroes known as Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, and Frozone talking about why they have secret identity.
