The Princess and Curdie, mainly focuses on the journey of the story’s two heroes: Curdie and Lina. Curdie is the young, vibrant, protagonist of the story and is depicted in a manner that is mostly positive. Lina, on the other hand, is a creature who was initially seen as a horrendous, ugly beast. Throughout the novel, we begin to see that there is more to her than just her looks. She proves to be a worthy partner and protector of Curdie throughout their various battles, all the way until her mysterious disappearance at the end of the novel. The first time we meet Lina is when Curdie goes to meet the Old Princess at her dove tower. Curdie describes her as, “an animal whose gruesome oddity even he, who knew so many of the strange creatures… had never seen equalled” (MacDonald 64). For the main protagonist of the story to speak of Lina with such a negative tone, causes the reader to start out with a somewhat biased opinion of her. Later on, when she appears at the feet of the Old Princess, Curdie is able to get a better glimpse of her entire body, even calling her a “horrible mass of incongruities” (MacDonald 76). It seems as though Curdie, like must humans, judges those he encounters based upon their looks before he has an opportunity to see what kind of soul they possess. …show more content…
The Old Princess instructs Curdie to use this power on Lina, and although initially hesitant to do so, he discovers that Lina may not be the beast he originally thought she was. Instead of holding the paw of a vicious animal, Curdie sees what appears to be the “neat little hand of a child” (MacDonald 76). This is the first instance in which the reader can see the qualities that Lina possess and how she will use them to protect Curdie throughout his
McDonalds and Chick-fil-A offer similar menu items, such as chicken sandwiches, chicken wraps, and chicken nuggets. While McDonalds’ chicken McNuggets and Chick-fil-A’s nuggets both claim to be chicken they differ in various ways such as the appearance, the actual meat inside and, in price. The appearance of food is what draws the buyer’s attention. The chicken McNuggets are tan brown and all similar in shape, looking like a bell or a boot. Chick-fil-A’s chicken nuggets come in different shapes depending on how they are breaded, and they are fried until golden brown. While what the food looks like it important, it also matters what is inside of it. Biting into McDonalds’ McNuggets looks like mashed up chicken stuffed inside a tan brown shell.
Chick-fil-A is One of the top fast food restaurant in the South. McDonald's is also one of the biggest fast food restaurant in the world, but bigger does not mean better. McDonald's food it's cheap, but you're also paying for cheap quality. McDonald's and Chick-fil-A are both really clean but Chick-fil-A is more plane cut, and Chick-fil-A waiters are the best.
In both the movie and the book Lina is curious about the mayor's actions and the government's decisions. On Lina’s way to give the mayor a message she finds herself “getting lost” in the building and lurking around where she isn't supposed to be and seeing questionable things that her eyes shouldn't be seeing. Equally important to the plot of this book is that in both the book and movie Lina and Doon switch jobs which causes them to find out some big things, but I wouldn't wanna spoil
With death being a major theme in the novel it makes it harder for Lina to survive. She never gets critically sick, but she knows that at any second it could be her that
An extremely colossal portion of citizens around our gracious Earth has heard of or visited a McDonald’s.

What do you typically order when dining at McDonald’s or Wendy’s? When I am having a meal from either place, my favorite choice is a fried chicken sandwich with lettuce, tomato, bacon and extra mayo. Sometimes, I may make it a combo and enjoy the greasy, salty french fries and an ice cold soft drink. Most of their customers often purchase the unhealthiest options because they feel as if that is what fast food is all about, right? Fortunately, it does not have to be that way. Fast food can be convenient and nutritious. Wendy’s and McDonald’s are both fast food restaurants, so they are alike in many
The two companies that I will be comparing in this project are McDonalds and Wendys. Both of these companies are competitors in the same industry. I am using the information from their 2005 Financial Statements.

In Sleeping Beauty, the Prince is portrayed a strong and courageous person, he can be seen as a great character because he overcomes many obstacles to be able to help the Princess survive. Although Sleeping Beauty is a fairy tale and is stereotypically more admired by girls, the masculine tale might be liked by the male population because they aspire to be the male hero. Maleficent shows the feminine tale and warns the girls that not men cannot be trusted in some cases, and that there is no need to have a man by your side. A woman can survive on their own using her own intelligence and courage to overcome any obstacle that she might face. For the female population, this change is very important because this “hero” story helps us relate to the character and our desire to do great and special acts (Seger 387). This film proved that a woman is capable of defeating evil, and brings a new perspective into Disney
McDonalds (McD’s) and Burger King (BK) are key players in the fast food industry and have been competing for many years. They both provide similar food that is prepared quickly for a low price. So what sets them apart? The difference between McD’s and BK is their corporate culture – operational management.

This tale shows the consequences of a childish dependence clung to for a long time. The princess trusts her mother who then sends her off to get married. Because she was protected as a child she did not develop autonomy. She was very dependent on her parents. Her dependence is then shifted to her maid who robs her of her title. The princess fears the maid and goes along with
Their food seems to be the same, but it isn’t. On one hand, McDonald’s hamburger weighs less and has only 9g of total fat, while Burger King’s hamburger has 12g and they have a saltier taste. On the other hand, Burger King’s beef are 100% pure and they flame-boils their burgers, while McDonald’s fries their beef. That’s why they taste different. Concern at cost, McDonald’s simple burger is lower at $0.89 while Burger King’s has their simple burger at $0.99.
