  • Disney: A Fairy Tale Of Happiness In Disney

    1337 Words  | 3 Pages

    Disney shows and shows similar to such have taught us from a young age the concept of “happily ever after". This is a fairy-tale of absolute happiness. It is a state of feeling good all the time. In fairy tales, this feeling is usually found in fulfilling marriages, royal castles, singing birds and laughing children. In real life sometimes finding that happiness isn’t as easy as a fairy tale makes it look like. Research suggests that if you focus too much on trying to feel good all the time, you’ll actually undermine your ability to ever feel good because no amount of feeling good will be satisfying to you, that is when you become a perfectionist. If feeling good all the time were the only requirement for happiness, then a person who uses cocaine every day would be extremely happy receiving the same euphoria or natural happiness. Natural happiness is what we get when we get what we wanted, and synthetic happiness is what we make when we

  • Rewriting and Transforming a Fairytale

    Fairy tales are considered as stories for children, to amuse them or some bed stories before they sleep. Sandman is one of those stories created by Scandinavian narratives and written by Christian Andersen, famous children’s literature writer. In the tale, Sandman comes at midnight and puts his sands into the eyes of the children and makes them sleep. While they sleep, with his umbrella he shows them either good or bad dreams. E.T.A Hoffman uses the elements of the fairy tale and rewrites it as a gothic-horror story. Hoffman’s Sandman is also comes at midnight and puts sand to the eyes of people, but not for the dreams but to take their eyes and feed them to his children. Nail Gaiman’s version has gothic elements but also it still carries the soul of the fairy tale version. He uses the Sandman as a protagonist in his story but the events occurs in dark and morbid places.

    Imagine the world, as you know it, being identical to the small island of Neverland from Peter Pan. On Neverland, Peter Pan spends his “never-ending childhood” interacting with mermaids, Indians, fairies, pirates, and even children from the world outside of Neverland. Picture our world, just a little less magical, but nevertheless, with people spending their “never-ending childhoods”. As our economy transforms from “an agricultural and manufacturing economy” to a more “information economy”, Alice Gopnik, a psychologist and professor of psychology at the University of California at Berkeley, believes that this will ultimately lead to our society remaining “children forever – or at least for much longer” ("Never-Ending Childhood"). In her response to the Edge.org’s question of the year for 2009: “What Will Change Everything?” Gopnik suggests that with the changing economy, people will have to learn substantially more information and they will learn it during the early years of childhood, because that is when we learn the most. She also indicates that the prolonged learning during childhood is possible because of the understanding of “neural plasticity,” which basically “refers to the strengthening or weakening of nerve connections” and is mainly responsible for learning, amongst other things ("What Is Neural Plasticity?"). Along with neural plasticity, she believes “the global spread of schooling” will make increased learning during childhood more likely as well (Gopnik). Although, less schooling puts us at a competitive disadvantage, with countries like Japan, South Korea, England, France, and etc., I agree with Gopnik because if society has to endure longer schooling, with added information, in this ever-changing econom...

    However, Rapunzel was terribly frightened when a man, such as her eyes had never yet beheld came to her; but the man began to speak to her quite like a friend, and told her that his heart had been so stirred that it had let him have no rest, and that he had been forced to see her. As the conversation between the two progressed, they became the fastest, and best of friends; Rapunzel had lost all her fear. It wasn’t long before the man whom she had learned to be a prince asked for her hand in marriage. Rapunzel was shocked, she had lived in a tower for years and had not thought of marriage; the prince was the first man she’d seen since her twelfth birthday. Within her inner ear, Rapunzel heard her own thoughts: ‘He will love me more than old Dame Gothel does,’ and so she spoke, ‘I will willingly go away with you, but I do not know how to get down. Bring with you a skein of silk every time that you come, and I will weave a ladder with it, and when that is ready I will descend, and you will take me on your horse.

However, Leontes stubborn arrogance allows a sexually charged voyeuristic desire to surface, at no point more clear than when Hermione stands as a statue in the final scene—an object, a creation. The focus is on her form, her features—Hermione as an image and representation of the desire to be voyeuristic.
