Horton Hears a Who

For this assignment I chose “Horton Hears a Who” which was based on one Dr. Seuss’s literary works. The movie is an animated movie for children, but contains elements of Christian Worldviews, which are evident as the main characters develop through out the movie. The two main Characters that stay true to their Christian Worldview are Horton the lovable elephant and the Mayor of Who-Ville. Both Horton and the Mayor of Who-Ville face obstacles and they fight to save Who-Ville from their perspective societies. As I watched this movie, I was seeing themes of faith and determination, which both Horton and the Mayor of Who-Ville consistently displayed throughout the movie. Horton is trying to convince the other animals in the jungle with him that in a tiny spec an entire world of living creatures exist, while the Mayor of Who-Ville is facing no one believing about his friend from another world and the happenings he has been experiencing.
Horton and the Mayor of Who-Ville stayed true to their worldview throughout th...

    Before Sweeney Todd got his close-up on the silver screen in 2007, and even before he made his Broadway debut, Sweeney Todd made his first appearance in The String of Pearls, a Victorian penny dreadful from 1846. Penny dreadfuls were cheap fiction that were usually released in a weekly manner and were sold for a British penny. The story of Sweeney Todd takes place in the boom of Great Britain’s Industrial Revolution, when new technology was appearing on every corner, along with old fears rearing their ugly heads once again. Penny dreadfuls were meant for opening up all of humanity’s most basic fears, death, gore, and most prominently, cannibalism. They were written to terrify the public, to act as a cheap thrill for the common folk. The premise

    J. D. Salinger was successful in keeping my interest in “The Catcher in the Rye” by the way he would repeat how “lonesome” and “rotten” and “depressed” Holden felt as well when he would repeat “I almost wished I was dead.” This kept my interest because it shows how unhappy and uncomfortable Holden was with everyday life. I found it quite interesting. Another way Salinger kept my interest was by showing just how easy it was to escape from the real world or just run away from situations. Throughout Chapters 7, 8, and beyond, Salinger shows how Holden easily goes from place to place without having anybody tell him differently; I liked the thought of “traveling incognito.” Although Salinger was able to keep my interest, in some ways he wasn’t quite

    Secondly, Holden tries to refuse the fact that things cannot stay the same way. Throughout the book Holden is at a tough time in his life where he is in denial and is really hard for him to accept things like Allie’s death. Even though Allie is dead he tires to preserve and protect children because he does not want them to suffer like him. When he says “ The best thing, though, in that museum was that everything always stayed right where it was . Nobody’d move. … Nobody’d be different. The only thing that would be different would be you.”(Salinger 121). Throughout the book Holden has the difficulty in dealing with Allie’s death. This quote implicitly reveals that Holden wants things to stay the same way and that by his past memories he does not want to let go.

    In The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, the most important part of Holden’s coming-of-age passage is when he meets Phoebe in front of the museum before he will run away. Holden discovers his purpose when Phoebe cries about him running away and thus he matures from aimless teenager to supportive reassuring big brother. Sometimes wandering is a necessary step to finding purpose. For example, the status quo of going to college is not a fit-all solution; and as a result some graduates take a gap year before college to travel, explore new hobbies, work, and find their true passions. It was necessary for Holden to leave Pencey Prep early because it leads to him to discovering that he needs to be with Phoebe instead of out West alone.

    3. As of this moment, there are 7,476,047,627 people alive in the world. With each and every second, this number only grows and what is truly fascinating about this is that each person is completely different from the last. 7.5 billion people; 7.5 billion different personalities and lives. Like snowflakes, each is unique and beautiful in it’s own way. In today’s society, differences are encouraged; praised even. What sets a person apart from the rest often lets them shine in their own spotlight. However, these differences can cause a person to be labeled as an outcast (someone who has been rejected by their community or a social group because they are ‘too different’ from everyone else). Holden, from The Catcher in the Rye,

  • To Kill A Mockingbird Film Analysis

    For this assignment, I decided to do my film review on To Kill a Mockingbird (Mulligan, R., & Pakula, A. (Directors). (1962). To Kill a Mockingbird[Motion picture on VHS]. United States of America.) I have a personal connection to this film because it is one of my most beloved novels by Harper Lee. I have never watched the film so it was a nice experience to see the characters I have loved for years come to life just before my eyes. The film particularly focuses on a white family living in the South of the United States in the 1930s. The two siblings, Jem and Scout Finch, undergo major changes while experiencing evil and injustice in their small town of Maycomb. Jem and Scout’s father is named Atticus and he is a well-respected man in the town as well as being a lawyer.

  • The Better Story in Life of Pi by Yann Martel

    1775 Words  | 4 Pages

    On its surface, Martel’s Life of Pi proceeds as a far-fetched yet not completely unbelievable tale about a young Indian boy named Pi who survives after two hundred twenty-seven days on a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker. It is an uplifting and entertaining story, with a few themes about companionship and survival sprinkled throughout. The ending, however, reveals a second story – a more realistic and dark account replacing the animals from the beginning with crude human counterparts. Suddenly, Life of Pi becomes more than an inspiring tale and transforms into a point to be made about rationality, faith, and how storytelling correlates the two. The point of the book is not for the reader to decide which story he or she thinks is true, but rather what story he or she thinks is the better story. In real life, this applies in a very similar way to common belief systems and religion. Whether or not God is real or a religion is true is not exactly the point, but rather whether someone chooses to believe so because it adds meaning and fulfillment to his or her life. Life of Pi is relevant to life in its demonstration of storytelling as a means of experiencing life through “the better story.”

    A Christmas Carol is one of the few traditional Christmas stories I have never read. I already knew the basic story line, but I didn’t really know what was going to happen. I love reading and watching things for the first time. It was fun seeing the different versions and comparing them to the book. There were some differences, escpecially in the Muppets movie, but overall the lesson still shown through. I think it’s a great story that teaches us how to really be grateful and love the people around us.
