Aladdin Is A Fairytale Of A Scrappy Thief

This can be seen in the novel with Abdul’s father, who suffers from tuberculosis. Diseases like tuberculosis are common in the streets of Annawadi and numerous slums just like it. This makes it hard for Abdul’s father to work which means he can not make money to support his family. This is a common problem in many slums for many families who have members suffering from disease. Another problem is the upper class that dwells within Mumbai. While the upper class is the minority class in Mumbai, they control close to all of Mumbai’s profits saving it all for themselves and not helping those in need. The fact that such a small percentage of Mumbai’s inhabitants controls a large percentage of its wealth is major reason why so many poverty stricken people were forced to live in slums like Annawadi. A third reason for the poverty of Annawadi can be seen in its slum lords. The slums lords have total control over a slum and its inhabitants. If a person crosses paths with a slum lord, they are as good as dead. This fear of the power of slum lords keeps the people down and makes it almost impossible to rise out of poverty. In Behind the Beautiful Forevers, Katherine Boo writes “A decent life was the train that hadn’t hit you, the slumlord you hadn’t offended, the malaria you hadn’t caught” (Page 45). These are all factors in why Annawadi faced such severe poverty. It is easy to say that these all had an effect on Annawadi’s absence

There is also conflict between the street merchants and the poor who have no money for food. Aladdin is seen stealing food, while men try to chase him down and punish him. Eventually he escapes with the stolen food and spots some poor hungry children. He gives away the stolen food to the children, which is depicted as admirable. Later when Jasmine gives food to a hungry child, the merchants try to cut off her hand at the cost of stealing. In both these instances, stealing was justified when given to those less fortunate. The film does not focus much longer on this and there is no definite compromise to this power struggle, but sooner or later the merchants and the poor would need to work this out.

Literary Analysis of Aladdin Disney’s Aladdin is a film that attempts to stereotype and westernize Arab culture. Using racially inaccurate stereotypes, an inaccurate depiction of The Middle East, as well as countless cultural generalizations, Aladdin creates a setting of “exotic orientalism” and Islamaphobia. “[Aladdin depicts…] the Arab world as backwards and irrational, the film’s distorted ethnic representations fuel the western world’s fear of alternity and perpetuates dangerous stereotypes.” (Heydt).

Have you ever had a dark and gloomy day? Imagine having that feeling every single day. The Grimm’s Cinderella was written in 1812. 1812 was one of the harshest years for America. An event that formed it was the war against Great Britain and the United States. Not only was there a war, but there was also a series of disastrous harvests. Taxes got higher, and more than twenty people who were involved with a Luddite Act were hung. In 1812, there was also the only assassination of a prime minister, who was shot dead in the House of Commons. The Grimm Brothers have put the dark times of 1812 into their stories. Some of their stories contain violence, child abuse, and wicked mothers. They came up with these types of stories after their father died, and when they struggled out of school. That gave them enough time to research and put together a collection of folk tales. Now you can see why the Grimm’s Cinderella was dark and gloomy. Although the plot stayed the same, over the years, the story did get lighter. Disney’s Cinderella came out in 1950. In 1950, learning information was not by fear, but by engaging happiness. Disney’s Cinderella transforms the Grimm’s Cinderella into a happier atmosphere. While some similarities between Disney’s Cinderella and Grimm’s Cinderella are noticeable, the differences are pronounced, especially when referring to the slippers, her father, and the ball.

Trying to Impress others is one of the mistakes we make everyday of our lives. Living life to impress others it's comical, put another way, it is not a good way to live your life. If you can not make a joy out of what you are doing in a long run there is not a point. Amir was trying to impress Baba (his father) for most of his life desire for that brought him despair many times. Story of Kite Runner being around Afghanistan, where Amir's father was wealthy and well off; Amir greatly struggled to impress his father, which was more or less the main parent figure in his life. Growing up with his Baba, being around his as much as nobody else, Amir has to learn to deal with all of the high standard his father has, or so he thought.  It seems like Baba was one like father that had a rough look from the outside, but has always had love for his son. Amir not seeing it that way has always tried to impress him, which is the best shown at the kite festival which Amir won

Even in the movies, sociology can be found. Most people think sociology is limited to just worldly problems, but it can be it can be a very broad term. Symbolic Interaction is a communication theory that states society and individuals are created based upon the interactions between each other. One Disney movie that stands out is Aladdin. I feel this movie does a great job of providing examples of symbolic interactionism. My plan is to discuss symbolic interaction and provide examples of the theory.

The animated classical Disney movie Aladdin has became one of the most successful movies since it was released in 1992. This movie may seem to be fairy-tale based and entertaining for children since they are the main target audience of Disney, but with a deeper look into its details this is not the reality of it. The ideas that children are exposed to from watching this movie help create and structure their mindsets as well as reinforcing unrealistic images of the Arabian world. In addition, Aladdin is a great illustrative tool in reflecting the concept of Orientalism, a term coined by Edward Said, which emphasizes on representing the Orient with certain clichés and characteristics that are misleading about the true nature of reality (Said, 1978). With that been said, this review paper will be focusing on the main characters and the way they are

Aladdin is a street-rat and is looked down upon by society. He hates how society judges him and aims one day, he will live in a castle with no problems. Although he commits crimes such as stealing, he is ultimately good-hearted,

Racism: discrimination which exemplifies stereotypical differences between the ethnic groups to which people belong. While Disney animated films are the ideal family movies, it is undisclosed to many that such racism is being portrayed. Disney’s movie Aladdin (1992), “was a high-profile release, the winner of two Academy Awards, and one of the most successful Disney films ever produced” (Giroux, 104); however, what is often disregarded is the obvious depiction of careless racism towards Arabs seen in the illustrations of the characters, the statuses into which they are placed and the lyrics of the opening song near beginning of the film. Furthermore, with the movie disguising itself as innocent and wholesome, children are exposed to these

The first thief is a young man, possibly a teenager, who is as poor as Antonio. They live in the same kind of public housing complex with walls of stripped-down paint and more bystanders than people who actually work and earn their living. The second thief is Antonio himself, which is dramatic irony. What heightens the irony is that he does not even steal for a living but he almost gets himself imprisoned. In the meantime, the real thieves, as well as their partners in crime, are out in the open, continuing their criminal ways. Throughout the film, Vittorio De Sica captures imageries of poverty, from the crowd looking for work at the unemployment office to the women whose weary faces underline the challenges of taking care of their families and bear the greatest burden when their breadwinners are

Fairy tales make an important part of cultural prophecy, because they contain wisdom which is passed from parents to their children. They contain basic moral and ethical guidelines for children. Images and symbols used in fairy tales can help to judge about cultural, ethical, social and moral values popular in the contemporary society. Changes and similarities, which can be found in the popular fairy tale Cinderella by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, version of 1812 and the Disney version of Cinderella (2015), can help to realize the changes in cultures and historical epochs.

When in poverty people can not pay off the rent for homes so the result is living in the street. While living in the streets in people's eyes joining gangs seems like a great idea. By not having enough money many people decide to steal from local shops. Some gangs are dedicated to stealing things while others have to beg in order to survive. As shown by Getachew in the book stealing is a fowl in his group let alone stealing a drug as he is underage. He had decided to steal a pack of cigarettes and was chased by the police. When the group had come to realize this he got a punishment and the joviro Million showed no mercy. This comes to show that poverty has a large effect on the society. Along with that, this also opens the eyes of IB students helping them understand how important the role of society plays in

Even the most seemingly harmless of __ can change the way we treat peopl. In Aladdin, Aladdin is a street rat until he finds a magic genie lamp, which can grant him three of his wishes. However, the villain Jafar, who put him up to finding the lamp, has a different idea for its uses. In the end, Aladdin has to save Princess Jasmine and the city of Agrabah with the influential help of the genie from Jafar and his evil forces. In Disney’s Aladdin, the culture in Agrabah is presented through an orientalist lense, suggesting the population in Agrabah needs, wants, and would be better off with the influence of western culture; this representation is in order for Disney to justify the United States cultural colonization.
