  • Violent Media Is Good For Kids By Gerard Jones

    1682 Words  | 4 Pages

    Violent Media is Good for Kids, by Gerard Jones, is an article which makes many claims to support the argument that a controlled amount of violence could be beneficial for a young, developing child. Even though the topic of this article can be controversial, the claims serve to support the argument in many noteworthy ways. It is written in such a way that it tells a story, starting when the author was a child and working its way to adulthood. In this case, the author uses, what I believe to be just the correct amount of rhetorical strategy, and fulfills his goal of writing the article. This argument is interesting and, at the same time, effective.

  • Analysis Of The Movie 'Aladdin'

    913 Words  | 2 Pages

    Aladdin, a Disney Classic Movie, in my opinion, teaches kids and adults alike some of life’s most important lessons. First, Aladdin teaches that sometimes what we seem to want the most is not as we expect it to be. Next, the story of Aladdin also teaches that there are always people who think just to gain for themselves even if they seem to be our most trusted friends. Most importantly, Aladdin teaches us that one must not lie about or pretend being someone that they’re not just to impress. I have found that every Disney movie has something to teach and Aladdin, in between humor, action, and love, teaches these lessons in such a memorable way.

  • Analysis Of Gone With The Wind And The Lion King

    668 Words  | 2 Pages

    The first thing that must be addressed is the reality that animation is on par with film. It is quite literally art. The amount of effort, talent, and imagination that goes into the story is nothing short of amazing. Although animation is often reduced to just programing for kids, when put side by side, the only difference between Gone With The Wind and The Lion King is that one is animated. Both are images, but one is photographed and the other is drawn. To what I stated earlier, someone’s preference may differ from another person, but each would consider it an art.

    The re- enactments are well executed and the actors are extremely good as the gunfighters. I think this movie is a bit like documentary film but with some part of drama too and the show gives us plenty of information in a very entertaining manner. Bring the social issue this Billy the Kid can be educational movie for the people who watch this movie. Actually not only social issue but this movie also contains about history of wild west era so this movie can be more educational.

    Programs for young children are great because they allow children to learn in a fun and interactive way. However, it causes inactivity. Inactivity is not the only downside of children’s programs. Programs for young children may cause them to struggle to separate fantasy from reality in their daily lives (Feldman). I choose Blue’s Clues, Doc McStuffins and Sesame Street to analyze. These three shows catches children attention by the colors, characters, and storyline.

  • The Theme of Despicable Me directed by Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud

    I enjoyed watching this movie. It shows how people shouldn’t be judged for how they look or by a few actions and people can change. Often these people just need something that loves them unconditionally. This is a great movie for children to watch as there are important underlying themes they can pick up on. It is also a good movie for older people as they would enjoy the humour. The themes are portrayed successfully by the choice of characters and through the events.

  • The Lion King; What´s the Circle of Life

    1025 Words  | 3 Pages

    What is the circle of life? In a time when the Disney animation renaissance ruled the cinema world, one movie had ruled entirely over all. In 1994 at the height of the company’s own resurrection, Disney released the epic musical drama The Lion King. It was a critically acclaimed movie that has spawned off into a Broadway musical, a spin-off show, and two sequels. I first saw the Lion King when I was three years old and to this day is one of my favorite movies. Little did I know the Lion King was much more than a movie about a young lion stepping in place of his father’s absence, but more of a spin on the Shakespeare play Hamlet. The movie resonates to me now more then ever as I am older and can identify the themes and influences in the movie.

    For example, Inside Out shows the importance of emotions. This film teaches it’s young viewers that it is okay to feel emotions other than extreme joy; it is okay to feel sad, angry, or even scared sometimes. it provides a visual idea of the inner workings of the human brain. It teaches children that the terrible feeling of sadness is actually something that you need to accept and give into, in order to avoid reacting with fear, anger, or disgust, or shut down completely. The film provides an easy to understand concept of depression for kids; understanding emotions is an important part of understanding warnings and asking for help, which is a really important lesson for kids. For example, Riley runs away from home after an argument with her parents. After her parents find and bring her back home, her parents are accepting of her feelings and do their best to understand and love her, teaching it’s younger audience that making mistakes is okay. Inside Out is a wonderful, refreshing bit of movie making, which families really can use as a teaching tool, because the lesson is so valuable to parents and children alike. Disney Pixar’s Inside Out wields an innovatively ground breaking narrative style that will without doubt be imitated for years to come. Inside Out seems to be delivering a lesson not only to its young viewers, but to the parents who accompany
