Fable Essay

     My favorite character in this book would have to be Peter. He was a little bit of a tough guy yet timid, but wasn’t afraid to fight for his siblings lives. Peter was the oldest amongst his brother and two sisters and was most likely the brains and brawn of the bunch. In this story, Peter has to fight off a wolf to test his courage or, in Aslan’s words, win his spurs. He returns victorious and is knighted by the lion called Aslan. His brother Edmund, a very mischievous boy and a bother to his sisters Lucy and Susan, looks up to Him though he never admits to it. Peter was definitely the highlight of this book.

     2.) The Types of stories found in this book are Medieval Stories. They contain Kings, Queens, and Knights, wars and battles, dragons, and beautiful maidens.

For my report, I chose to summarize how Brian Helgeland’s movie “A Knight’s Tale” (2001) draws its medieval themes and story from Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Canterbury Tales: The Knight’s Tale”. Besides the nearly identical titles of these works and the moderately similar storyline, it can be further proven that “A Knight’s Tale” is an adaption of “The Knight’s Tale” because Geoffrey Chaucer appears as a character himself—and a vital one at that—in the movie. Furthermore, just to make certain that there is no mistake among the viewers about who they are dealing with, Geoffrey Chaucer (Paul Bettany) even refers to himself as a writer in the movie and points out his very first own work “The Book of the Duchess” in disbelief when some peasants don’t

The Wizard of Oz is an early film but editing is used quite a bit. First off, the absence of color in the beginning and the ending of the film. This sets an overall feeling of Dorothy being home. Next the film turns to color once Dorothy dreams of being in a different world, the color, yet again, set an overall mood for Dorothy in this new world “Over the rainbow.” The first steps of Dorothy being in the world of The Wizard of Oz gives off an example of inside and outside editing. The shot begins with a close up of Dorothy’s face and the camera slowly moves out to show everything else around Dorothy, which was the start of the yellow brick road and Munchkin land. After the viewer see all of that, the camera moves back in to Dorothys face when she says that they are not in Kansas anymore. One editing transition used a lot in The Wizard of Oz is the fade-in and dissolve. Another is cross-cut, two events occurring at the same

Once upon a time, there was a literary genre commonly know as fairy tales. They were mystical and wonderful and a child’s fantasy. These fairy tales were drastically misunderstood throughout many centuries, however. They endured a hard life of constant changing and editing to fit what the people of that time wanted. People of our own time are responsible for some of the radical changes endured by this undeserved genre. Now, these fairy tales had a young friend named Belle. Belle thought she knew fairy tales very well, but one day she found out just how wrong she was.

It's not uncommon for middle school and high school students to develop a "personal fable." Such a fable is a common teen and older tween belief that arises from adolescent egocentrism, which develops between the ages of 11 and 13. Some research has shown that belief in the personal fable and one's invulnerability is directly connected to common adolescent risk-taking behaviors such as promiscuous or unprotected sex, use of alcohol or illicit drugs, and physically dangerous acts, such as driving without a license or driving recklessly or while intoxicated. Colloquially, these individuals are known as "special snowflakes." In other words, the adolescent thinks that since others are so obviously fascinated by him (adolescent egocentrism), he

“The youngest son was so heartbroken when he saw how little he had inherited”. This quote came from the trickster tale “Master Cat or Puss in Boots”. During the time this quote was said in the story, a miller had three sons and he gave them all something he owned. The youngest son got the least valuable inheritance. “How Stories Came to Earth” and “Master Cat or Puss in Boots” have several similarities and differences contained in these tales known as trickster tales.

The tradition of telling fairy tales to children effects not only the listener but also the reader. Maria Tatar, in her book Off with Their Heads!, analyzes how fairy tales instill and reaffirm cultural values and expectations in their audience . Tatar proposes that fairy tales fall into three different tale-types: cautionary tales, exemplary stories, and reward- and- punishment tales. These three types portray different character traits as desirable and undesirable. Due to the tale’s varying literary methods it can change the effectiveness of the tale’s pedagogical value. In Tatar’s opinion, all of these tales are similar in the way they attempt to use punishment, reward, and fear to encourage or discourage certain behaviors. In the cautionary fairy tale “The Virgin Mary’s Child”, the use of punishment and fear to discourage certain behaviors is enhanced by the Christian motifs and values employed by the tale. These literary devices encourage the audience to reflect on and internalize the lessons that are presented in the fairy tale.

With his eyes closed and his arm gripping Dumbledore as tightly as he could, Harry stepped into that felling of compression. Then, instantly, they were there, at the top of the astronomy tower.

“Fables of Faubus” is an interesting song that has a slow tempo, free jazz or avant-garde jazz characteristics, and bop influences. Other free jazz songs during this time period were less structured and had a faster tempo. “Fables of Faubus” was recorded with an alto saxophone, two tenor saxophones, trombone, piano, bass, and drums. There were alternating melodies layered on top of each other at different points throughout the song. The melodies were mostly played by the alto saxophone and the two tenor saxophones with the trombone occasionally playing notes along with the saxophones or adding in miscellaneous pitch bends.

Undertale was an indie game released in 2015 by Toby Fox after a very successful Kickstarter project. Undertale is truly one of a kind, it acts as less of a game and more of an experience. Undertale takes inspiration of Role Playing Games (RPG) from all throughout the history of video games and has a unique mechanic that makes it the center of a lot of attention in the world of gaming. This game allows the player to complete the entire game without killing a single monster, something that has never been done before. The entire game shines light on a topic that was at the center of scrutiny back in the mid 1990’s and is still relevant in the media today, video game violence. While many attack video games for being violent,

The human was gone and I felt panicked until I realized, why do I even care? My coat was dirty and I was certain I had gotten lice from her. I wasn't doing much until I saw the same girl come out of the dumpster holding the most delicious mouse I had ever seen. She tossed it to me and I slowly ate it. It tasted as good as it looked and I smiled and the warm blood gushed into my mouth on the first bite and closed my eyes and I felt the small mouse’s tiny bones snapping easily in my powerful jaws. As I slurped up the the tail like some spaghetti I took some time to look the girl

Over the course of a long and arduous journey to find a place to settle, the people found themselves through the journey. They found many things that they liked, and they settled around the things that gave them the best opportunities for survival. Consequently, they created a system of belief that got them through the long wait for land, and once they got it, they praised it. “In the course of that long migration they had come of age as a person. After all, they had conceived a good idea of themselves; they had dared to image and determine who they were,” (Momaday, 77). Here Momaday addresses the migration of his ancestors. As a result, the people had been modified by their journey, and so finally they began to consider who they were and what they were meant to become. “What remains is fragmentary: mythology, legend, lore, and hearsay--and of course the idea itself, as crucial and complete as it ever was. That is the miracle,” (Momaday, 77). In regards to his culture, Momday expresses his perception of the stories his father once told him as a child. Indeed, he is now old enough to understand the myths, and the great legends that have shaped his culture and living environment. “It is a whole journey, intricate with motion and meaning; and it is made with the whole memory, that experience of the mind which is legendary as well as historical, personal as well as cultural,” (Momaday, 87). The journey made the legends being told more legendary. His people crafted a culture
