The Connection between A Bug’s Life and The Chosen People In the essay The Chosen People, Stewart Ewen, discusses his perspective of middle class America. Specifically, he explores the idea that the middle class is suffering from an identity crisis. According to Ewen’s theory, “the notion of personal distinction [in America] is leading to an identity crisis” of the non-upper class. (185) The source of this identity crisis is mass consumerism. As a result of the Industrial Revolution and mass

The movie that I chose for this analysis is called A Bug’s life directed by John Lasseter and Andrew Stanton. This movie begins in a colony of ants that is by a tree. The ants are gathering food for the offering. The offering is when ants gather all the food they can before the season. This food is demanded by the Grasshoppers that are led by Hopper. They demand the food from the ants, because that is supposedly the payback they have to pay so that the grasshoppers will not hurt them. Princess Atta

Loyalty is the feeling of devotion one holds for ones country, creed, family, and friends(dictionary.com). It is remaining faithful to what you believe in.

For today’s response paper, I would like to dive into my initial thoughts on the Ebrahim’s article on gender in Pixar movies. In this article, her main argument was to show how Pixar movies often portray female human girls in a demon-child role. More specifically, characters such as Molly from the original Toys Story and Darla from Finding Nemo are narratively and cinematically portrayed as forces of nature that can harm the non-human characters in an ironic twist.

The immediate nostalgia of the classic 1969 musical, Hello, Dolly!, is combined unexpectedly with extensive beauty of space as WALL-E begins descending into an even more unexpected image of life on Earth. The film could almost be classified as a modern silent film, excepting the small moments of dialogue that become more frequent when the humans are introduced, and this silence focuses the audience visually on the film before them: details aren't pointed out, Wall-E's purpose isn't defined by voice-over
third stanzas justify why the poet saves the mite, noting that he disagrees with the notion of helping others in order to seem munificent and “collectivistic regimenting love”.

Here we also find out that sentient objects follow a code of rules and thrive on human love. In "Toy Story 2" we see the toys discover that it is unsafe for them to be set apart from humankind. We start to see lifeless objects question their role in life. Resentment towards humans was not exclusively carried by lifeless objects, but by animals as well. In "Finding Nemo" we witness the growing intelligence of an underwater network of fish who unite to save a fish from humans. This movie shows signs
Toy Story 2, Antz, and A Bug's Life. All were terrific in their own way. Enter Shrek, a spectacular fantasy that even takes things a step further. Some moments in this film are so life like; you'd swear you are watching a live action movie Shrek (voiced with a hilarious Scottish accent by Mike Myers) is actually an ogre that lives a rather secluded life. His life is plunged into turmoil when a barrage of fairy tale characters stampede his swampy home and make his life a living hell. In an attempt
