relationships‚ in school‚ and in my family. But today I am going to talk about a time I have failed in school. In the 8th grade‚ I had to do a science project for a science fair. And I choose to do the project on what is the best way to cool a soda. I used the scientific method and all the usual things that go along with a science fair. And I did not necessarily fail‚ but I did not do my best‚ or choose the best topic for the science fair. The other kids in the science fair choose very in-depth projects:

Fair or Not Fair As once said by Nelson Mandela “A good leader can engage in a debate frankly and thoroughly‚ knowing that at the end he and the other side must be closer‚ and thus emerge stronger. You don’t have that idea when you are arrogant‚ superficial‚ and uninformed.” Only when you meet that criteria can you be considered a good leader‚ however in Sophocles’ book Antigone once a crime has been committed not only is the guilty killer put on trial but whether or not Creon is a good leader is

the way values have been maintained and changed. Discuss with reference to the text from the past and it’s appropriation. The intended audience of both Pygmalion‚ by George Bernard Shaw and Pretty Woman‚ directed by Garry Marshall was the mass of society at the time of composition. This is seen through the choice of the form of each text‚ Pygmalion is a play because in the early twentieth centaury this was the popular way of spreading ideas and Pretty Woman is a Hollywood film‚ a current form of mass

In Pygmalion‚ George Bernard Shaw utilizes his protagonist Eliza to represent not only a gender or social role; but more in particular‚ how quickly those can all change. Although judged and cast as inferior for her job selling flowers alongside her almost indecipherable language‚ Eliza is completely transformed into a lady. Yet‚ interestingly it is not her actions that make her feel lady-like‚ but it is in how she is treated where she feels the most like a woman. Shaw becomes the “watchdog of

The play of Pygmalion‚ written by George Bernard Shaw is an appropriation of the famous story of Pygmalion in Ovid’s Metamorphoses. The main character of the tale‚ as the title suggests‚ is Pygmalion. Pygmalion‚ repulsed by the apparently loose and reprehensible lives of the women of his era‚ decides to live unaccompanied and unmarried. Using his exceptional skills as an artisan and sculptor‚ he fashions a statue made from ivory. His work is regarded as being more beautiful than any living

Like all of Shaw’s great dramatic creations‚ Pygmalion is a richly complex play. It combines a central story of the transformation of a young woman with elements of myth‚ fairy tale‚ and romance‚ while also combining an interesting plot with an exploration of social identity‚ the power of science‚ relations between men and women‚ and other issues. Pygmalion is one of Shaw’s most popular plays as well as one of his most straightforward ones. The form has none of the complexity that we find in Heartbreak

a remake. Everyone grew up with different versions of these classics. While the main storyline about a girl who was given away and lives in solitude with a witch stays the same in both Rapunzel and The Fair Angiola‚ the age at which the girl was given away‚ as well as the magical touch in The Fair Angiola gives that story more cliffhangers and interest about what will happen next. Once the daughter was given away in both stories she was then raised in a tower. Although she wasn’t raised in

This summer I read the book Pygmalion written by Bernard Shaw. The genre of the book is fiction and realism. Pygmalion is about a flower girl‚ Eliza Doolittle‚ who meets Henry Higgins‚ who is a professor. Eliza hears Higgins bet Colonel Pickering‚ Higgins friend‚ that he could pass Eliza off as a duchess at a party. Eliza takes up his offer and learns how to speak English perfectly. Many complications come along the way as the story progresses. In the end‚ Eliza leaves Higgins house and marries Freddy

Write 15 lines on the social fabric of the play and links to the Pygmalion Myth. The social fabric of something is the way everything connects and joins together. The social fabric of Pygmalion is one that is connected yet also partly disconnected. The society of the time was based on the class system. Everyone was easily distinguished from one another by their clothes‚ the way they act‚ their social groups and as pointed out in Pygmalion the accent that a person has is an almost instant tell tale of

As proven in Pygmalion‚ the novel by George Bernard Shaw and "Pygmalion"‚ the Greek myth‚ neither a creator‚ nor or anyone‚ should control the fate of another‚ be it a creation or simply another human\.. It is neither moral‚ nor possible to control another’s fate‚ and arguable that one cannot even control their own fate. These stories are filled with examples of the negative results that come of people attempting to control other humans. As Shaw would doubtlessly agree‚ a person attempting to control
