However, one of her examples, Mulan, is not an example of achievement through hard work like Zia explains, but rather a change made through magic, and example of the horrible historical inaccuracies made in Disney movies and the lack of parental respect that they teach children. Zia’s main point in using Mulan as part of her argument for the good of Disney movies is saying that Mulan is an example of how hard work and determination will pay off in the end

Mulan as the Woman Warrior Many movies have gotten their theme or content from books and novels. One of them being the story of Mulan, which originates from the story of a Chinese girl who grows into a women warrior. In my reading of " The Woman Warrior", there is a tale of a warrior who has the name Fa Mu Lan. The mother tells the story of Fa Mu Lan to her children , one child stating " Instantly, I remembered that as a child, I had followed my mother about the house, the two
comrades were amazed and perplexed to find out that "he" was in fact, a woman, (Kington). You might know whom I am talking about. Her name was Fa Mulan. After hearing the story about Mulan, I spent some time thinking about what it meant for a woman in ancient China to transcend beyond the boundaries of gender and culture for family, honor, and duty. Mulan became a true warrior - one who encompassed not only the combatant and the housewife but the struggle between them as well. Perhaps it is because
Maxine vs. Celie Dealing with the Past This paper compares and contrasts Celie’s story in The Color Purple by Alice Walker to that of Maxine’s story in the Woman Warrior by Maxine Kingston and how each of these women deals with their past.

The legend states that Hua Mulan lived during the Northern Wei dynasty. She is a mythical figure from ancient China portrayed in the Chinese poem, Ballad of Mulan. Though both princess warrior show and movie, The Legend of Hua Mulan and Disney’s Mulan have different character personalities and reasons of going to war. The Legend of Hua Mulan is straightforward and seeks to depict Mulan as a warrior. Disney’s Mulan, however, depicts Mulan as trying to prove her parents wrong and bring home a man as
and wishes for an ideal life. The woman warrior in the first section of "White Tigers" appears as a perfect woman who manages to balance her life, acting in a multitude of roles including a fighter and a mother. Kingston's version of the legendary Fa Mu Lan valiantly leads and "inspired my army, and I fed them...Then people would want to join the ranks. My army did not rape, only taking food where there was an abundance. We brought order wherever we went" (17). The reader admires this warrior
act of the family forgetting this aunt entirely. In White Tigers, it tells of the myth of Fa Mu Lan. It begins with Kingston recounting her mother’s story of Fa Mu Lan and her training where an elderly couple trains Fa Mu Lan into a warrior for fifteen years, then Fa Mu Lan’s role as a leading warrior and wife in which she replaces her father in battle and seeks revenge and lastly Kingston’s comparison to Fa Mu Lan’s life with hers. In Shaman, Kingston recounts her mother’s story of when her mother
The FA (Football Association) Where did it all start? A man called Ebenezor Morley, who formed Barnes FC in 1862, decided to write a letter to Bell’s Life which was a popular newspaper. He did this because there were constant arguments between his players on how the game of football should be played. In the letter, he suggested that there should be a set of rules just like the ones used in cricket. This letter led to the FA having their first official meeting on the 26th October 1863 in the Freemasons
