The Princess Who Refused To Eat- Original Writing
Fruit and Vegetables!
Once upon a time there was a princess called Isabella. She was five
years old. Princess Isabella refused to eat any fruit and vegetables.
Princess Isabella was loved by many people from far and wide.
Everybody would come to the palace to visit the pretty princess. There
was only one big problem with Princess Isabella. She would only ever
eat chocolate, sweets, crisps and cakes. King Frederick and Queen
Beatrice tried so hard to make Princess Isabella eat healthy food
instead of the junk food she was eating. But everything they tried did
not work. The cook, the cleaner, the maids, and even the butcher, from
the shop down the road from the palace, tried to help King Frederick
and Queen Beatrice. Nothing they tried worked. People travelled from
all over the world to try and help King Frederick and Queen Beatrice
to feed Princess Isabella healthy food. But nothing ever worked. No
one could ever change what Princess Isabella ate. One day when
Princess Isabella was sat playing with her dolls on her royal throne,
her front tooth fell out. Princess Isabella cried and cried until
King Frederick and Queen Beatrice came to her.
“My tooth’s fallen out Mummy” Princess Isabella said.
“Well we will have to wrap your tooth up and put it under your pillow.
Then tonight the tooth fairy can come and take it, leaving you a magic
coin as a present.” Queen Beatrice replied.
Queen Beatrice asked the maid to wrap Princess Isabella’s tooth up in
a soft, fluffy tissue. The maid then took the wrapped up tooth and
placed it under Princess Isabella’s pillow. Princess Isabella went to
bed and fell asleep. A bright light woke Princess Isabella up. It was
the tooth fairy. The tooth fairy was looking at Princess Isabella’s
tooth and was shaking her head.
“This tooth isn’t a very healthy tooth at all. This is an unhealthy
tooth, which means that someone has not been eating their fruit or
In James Poniewozik's "The Princess Paradox" (323-325) the author explains how the idea of a feminist, independent woman becoming a fairy tale princess is a paradox and that society is engaging in a paradox through the belief of it. He utilizes the recent bout of Cinderella retellings to show the paradox of how girls cannot be both completely independent and a fairytale princess, and yet society perpetuates the paradox through believing that this is not only possible, but realistically attainable as well. Poniewozik exposes the contradictions that surround these new Cinderellas to defy these "realistic" stories that society has come to embrace. By showing how truly constrictive and illogical these fantasies are, Poniewozik also shows how hypocritical society has become for idolizing them and why this new princess is a true paradox.
Race is a prevalent concept in Edgar Rice Burroughs’ novel, A Princess of Mars. The two principal Martian races—Green and Red—are characterized by drastically different beliefs, abilities, and social organizations. Although differences in their ways of life can be misconstrued to suggest the presence of a racial hierarchy, Burroughs makes no specific delineations about one race being superior over another, thereby reinforcing the idea that the equally created races are simply divided by their respective cultures.
“A Raisin in the Sun,” by Lorraine Hansberry, is a play about an African American family, who struggles finically, but finally comes across some money. The insurance company sent a ten thousand dollar check for the death of Mr. Younger. Everyone has a different idea on what to they would like to do with the money.

Many things can tear a family apart, but Hansberry teaches us what is really important in life. Hansberry wrote this play with three very important themes.
Most women in their childhood had probably dreamt of being a princess and meeting their charming prince. As Walt Disney’s figures have been influential in this sense, the ideal portrayal of princesses still attracts young girls who imitate them, their lifestyle and their physical appearance. In Sleeping Beauty (1959) and in The Little Mermaid (1989) the narration is focused on the search for true love, personified by a prince, for self-accomplishment. It is crucial to differentiate the representation of femininity of the two protagonists in the two movies to better understand if the role of Princesses has changed over those last thirty years. The main figures in both movies

There are some moments in life when people feel completely desperate; people want to achieve a goal so badly that they will expend all of their energy and will power to reach what they desire. This overwhelming sense of desperation is captured in Tomson Highway’s novel, Kiss of the Fur Queen. In the novel’s opening, the reader is introduced to Abraham Okimasis, who is pushing both himself and his eight grey huskies to the limit in hopes of securing a victory in a dogsled race. With the use of literary devices such as natural diction, desperate diction, repetition, and similes, Highway dramatizes Okimasis’ experience as he endeavors to reach the finish line.

INTRO: “From the beginning of time the human race has had a deep and powerful relationship with food - if you eat you live, if you don't you die. Eating food has always been about survival, but also about caring for and nurturing the ones we love.
