Analysis of The Wrong Trousers
“The Wrong Trousers” is a Clay Animation Production (where all
characters are made out of clay). Created by Nick Park (a famous
Animator) in 1993, “The Wrong Trousers” stars Wallace and Gromit in
their second animated adventure (they were first introduced to British
Viewers in 1990 in another Nick Park production “A Grand Day Out”.) In
this particular adventure we see how bad things can get when
technology gets into the wrong hands…
“The Wrong Trousers” was created by a clever technique called Clay
Animation (Claymation). This technique requires the use of Plasticine
to create models for the entire animation cast, this being things such
as the Characters, Objects in the Room, etc. Every time a position is
set up it is photographed and then classified as a cell. After the
first cell is created, the animators will then make the slightest
changes to the characters, etc and then take another photograph in
order to produce another cell. Thousands of these cells are made and
then edited together to produce the animation, these are then voiced
over and undergo a final edit in which the Animation is complete. Nick
Park is one of the most influential people in the promotion of Clay
Animation as he has produced the Wallace and Gromit series as well as
others such as “Chicken Run” and “Creature Comforts”. He has used new
advances in technology to bring Clay Animation to new heights, an
example of this can be found in the high speed train chase in “The
Wrong Trousers”.
“The Wrong Trousers” is an all round comedy that is aimed at audiences
of all ages. It is able to do this as it combines various different

will make you think, for example, the Penguin is put into a Zoo as a
punishment, perhaps implying that a Zoo is like a prison for an animal
and that perhaps it is wrong. Then also there is the overall moral of
Technology in the wrong Hands and what consequences these things can
have. Then we see the problems that perhaps can arise from a problem,
for example the seemingly unconditional loyalty between Wallace and
Gromit wavers during their period of financial disarray, eventually
leading to Gromit leaving the house to live on the streets! However,
Gromit eventually comes to his senses and helps come to the rescue,
giving us the underlying moral of the film. This being well emphasised
in the concluding dialogue with “Alls well that ends well, that’s what
I say Gromit” this allows a happy and satisfying ending.
I will be explaining the role of women in society in Bound Feet and Western Dress. The Chinese have traditions that are generations old and are very serious in their culture. These Chinese traditions have been deeply established. In Bound feet and Western Dress, a dispute between Chinese traditions and Westernization of Chinese women begin to emerge. The women in traditional China were treated unequally and were basically looked upon as property for their husband. The women were taken in by the husband’s family and had to always obey their husband and also had to take orders from the husband’s family as well.
Slacks and Calluses is a captivating book written from the perspective of two high-school teachers, Constance Bowman and Clara Marie Allen. Their stories are about their life working in a bomber factory in the summer of 1943. The book follows the two women as their lifestyle transitions from wearing heals and dresses to slacks and calluses. The women had to embrace hard working conditions, learn trades, and learn how to operate huge machinery. The women found out quickly this would cause many changes to the social aspect of their life, many of which changed the way women were viewed among the country. Patriotism and a chance to widen their opportunities is what fueled the women to take on these circumstances. This would forever change the beliefs of the workplace and views on women.
Miller uses the process of penguin reproduction to explain what it looks like to follow an inward compass. Essentially after penguins lay an egg, the females go hunting out to sea while the males stay and keep the egg warm. When the females come back from the sea, which is a several mile journey, they often make it back within a day or two of the eggs hatching. After explaining the process of penguin reproduction, Miller explains, "They [penguins] have this radar inside them that told them when and where to go and none of it made any sense, but they show up on the very day their babies are being born, and the radar always turns out to be right" (57). The seemingly irrelevant story about penguin sex, is actually decidedly relevant to the reader 's life. Miller suggests that each and every day one must decide to follow a calling within oneself. Readers can easily gain a mental picture of the penguin sex whereas it is much more difficult to have a mental picture of the concept of following an internal compass within ourselves. Oftentimes the best way to describe difficult concepts is to compare them to more concrete things, and this can be done through
Clothing stores often overstocked merchandise, clothing that has been returned by customers or items that are past their sell-by season. It would not be good business for these stores to throw out merchandise. Clothing stores have been known to donate some of their clothing but this is not something that most of them do. Giving away amounts to loss in profits and that is just not good business. Clothing stores often work with wholesale pallet companies who buy all the excess stock in bulk to resell. What the wholesaler does is pick up and pack merchandise into big pallets and sell at a cheaper rate. Where can you find these bulk wholesalers that sell by the pallet? The internet, of course. Finding wholesalers might be as easy as typing a few

The practice of keeping wild animals in a zoo or aquarium is looked at favorably in most aspects but what we fail to realize is that we have placed animals which at one point lived freely in wide open spaces into captivity. Society is assuming these animals are happy to be taken from their natural habitat and placed in pens and cages because they have every need handed to them. David Suzuki asked “What gives us the right to exploit other living organisms as we see fit?” (681). Through selfishness, people have justified zoos and aquariums to be an educational benefit to children, to help them learn about animals, their individuality and where they come from. Zoos and Aquariums are for society’s personal entertainment not for the good of the animals and should be closed down.
One time at the most grandiose zoo in the world seven lions, five elephants, twelve zebras, and eight-teen rattlesnakes escaped during the night. No worker knew how it was possible that they escaped because every cage, door, gate, and exhibit is locked and sealed. So, the workers went on a mission to figure out how the animals could have possibly escaped. First they went to the lions cage. Only one lion, dead, was left. The workers were shocked , but they were even more appalled to see that the window looking into the cage had been broken. There was a trail of peanut shells left behind leading all the way back to the elephant enclosure. When the workers arrived at the cage they discovered holes in the grass, only small enough for a snake
She states that most, if not all, of the movies that make up this new genre of movie “works not to emphasize the difference between humans and nonhumans, as it does in so many other Pixar features, but instead makes the characters into virtual puppets…” (284). Once puppetized, these characters can be made to do whatever they, the directors, please. Such as re-write and re enforce gender roles, as it is shown in March of the Penguins, with how the directors showed how the males were in charge of watching and protecting the eggs while the females left to find food (whereas in human society it is the opposite). Or they can solidify heterosexuality, by stating that all of the penguin relationships are strictly male/ female. Then by taking this bourgeois concept of heterosexuality and advertising it as full of variety and elasticity.
Children’s films have really progressed over the years to contain many layers of meaning and symbolism, in order to entertain and interest not only the kids, but also the parents. Zootopia definitely follows this trend, through its parallels to racism, gender inequality, and other forms of ostracisation which would be unlikely for young children to understand.

With Pantsing you can get going quicker. You just start writing or typing and you’re creating your story. It’s more spontaneous, you don’t have to follow any pre-ordained track, you just go where the story takes you. This allows you to be freer and you can experiment or just write without any thought of where the story needs to end up.
She allows the reader to identify with her by pointing out that she “went to the zoo all the time with [her] family” and that she “loved pandas” (Carr); the reader identifies with her, as the reader is likely to have visited the zoo as a child or likely to have a love for animals. Initially, she was very excited about seeing the animals so closely, but then she realized, even at that age, the “animals were miserable” (Carr). By telling the reader about her memory, Carr persuades the reader into believing that zoos are depressing and that animals do not belong in unnatural environments. Carr also mentions that she no longer goes to the zoo and urges her family and friends to do the same. The author then adds that she has a love for animals and wishes for the zoo animals to be set free. Again, by involving loved ones and reinforcing her love for animals, Carr appeals to the emotions of the reader. The reader is then likely to identify with the author, urge his or her family members and friends to not go to the zoo, and wish to see animals free from captivity. Therefore, Carr persuades the reader into believing that zoos are wicked by using the persuasive method of pathos. Along with Carr appealing to the reader’s emotions, she appeals to the reader’s
The daily life of a tailor has been interesting. What kind of clothes did normal people wear? In the 11th through the 14th time periods their clothing was very different from our time right now. It all depended on where they stood on the social pyramid of people.
They are no longer the same species they once were in the wild. This can be seen through the difference in behaviors that starts to form. "There can be a deterioration in both physical and mental health such as the development of abnormal behavior, disease, and even early mortality" (Travers, 1993). Scientists sometimes call these behaviors 'Zoochosis' (Travers, 1993). This term was coined by Bill Travers, who created the Born Free Foundation. Zoochosis is used to describe the obsessive, repetitive and abnormal behavior that is shown by zoo animals. The behavior is caused by the unfamiliar living quarters, and how unnatural everything seems to them. Behaviors such as pacing, circling, rocking, self-mutilation, vomiting, and several others can be seen. "The climate, diet, and size and characteristics of the enclosure may be complete alien to species as it exists in the wild" (Travers, 1993). By relocating these animals from their typical habitat, they have to relearn how to live. In addition, they must also rely on humans, who may hardly care, to meet their needs. This causes stress amongst the animals, therefore starting these bizarre actions. An Oxford study found that animals such as polar bears, lions, tigers and cheetahs show the most evidence of stress and psychological dysfunction ("Pitiful", 2017). Although these animals show the most signs, all animals experience it. The stress build-up for the animals is unfair, and unnecessary. Their is no reason for these innocent animals to be taking on this great
As if being caged in all his life was not enough, the Copenhagen Zoo again deprived Marius, the two-year-old giraffe, of a normal life. They considered him a “surplus” and murdered him with a shotgun in 2014. Marius’s perfectly healthy, two-year-old body, not even fully grown, fed the zoo’s felines. Not only was this choice irrational and ridiculous, the zoo even immorally declined offers from other zoos to adopt and an offer of over half a million dollars from a person to take Marius off their hands (Schwartz 1-2). In 1982, the same zoo cruelly killed three innocent tigers, saying no other zoos would give them a home (Stoner 36). Even with offers, they still killed Marius, so it sounds like nothing stops
