“Cinderella Man” is a movie starring the characters James J. Braddock, the main boxer, Mae Braddock, James’ wife, Joe Gould, James’ boxing manager, and Max Baer, James’ hardest opponent. This story took place in New York and New Jersey during the 1930s, when the Depression struck America. This film is an action film for the intensity of the boxing and fighting, but also a drama film for the misery and problems that came with the Depression and the rivalry between James and his opponents. “Cinderella Man” has real-life events that took place about 80 years ago.

The film Cinderella Man was about a boxer name James Braddock and his struggles through the great depression. Through boxing Braddock gave hope to the people who faced the great depression just as he did. He gave them a type of hope that nurtured them to thinking that they would persevere through the hardship just as he did with his boxing career. From an audience perspective this film earned a 5 out of 5 stars rating because director Ron Howard served his purpose well by not only developing a boxing film that did not just only acknowledge the perseverance about the sport side of things. The director Howard showed adversity and many aspects in the film such as Braddock’s struggles with his wife, kids, career, and friends. In essence Howard was able to incorporate how the great depression played a magnificent role in everything that occurred.

Cinderella Man is a famous, nonfiction film that was directed by Ron Howard and produced in 2005. The timing of the production of this film can strike as interesting, and maybe even odd; this is because the film begins in the times of the roaring 20’s, when the United States experienced a peak in economic successes. However, the 20’s is not the only developed time period, rather, it is the 30’s that most of the action in the film protagonists’ story will take place. Jim Braddock, a well known, wealthy, married man takes the lead position to show audiences the first-hand impact that the Great Depression had on families of all backgrounds. Braddock's riches-to-rags-to-riches story has inspired the value behind family and hard work and brought hope to his neighbors and fans who found themselves also struggling to find work and pay their bills during one of the greatest the economic downturns in history.

In “Little Snow White” by Germany, Jacob, and Wilhelm Grimm, there is a Queen who becomes jealous of her seven-year-old daughter. She envied her daughter’s beauty and sends a huntsman to kill Snow White. Snow White is then all alone and unable to care for herself and becomes dependent of the Seven Dwarfs. Although she is the main character, she is also the weakest character in the story. In Fables, we encounter a very different Snow White. Here Snow White oversees the town, Fabletown. Unlike the original fairytale story, there are no Dwarfs looking after her. She doesn’t need a Prince to come to her rescue because she is the hero in her own right. Her fierceness makes her a strong female who embodies power. Unlike the Little Snow White, in Fables Snow White is the head in charge, she’s independent, and bold.

All the women’s were living their lives for the husband. The lifestyle, clothing, and everything else seem very different than urban lifestyle.

The central conflicts of the story are Man vs. Man and Man vs. Society and these are due highly to race, culture, and societal problems. The setting of the story took place in the 1940’s or 50’s when the two main characters were eight years old.

“No matter how far wrong you've gone you can always turn around” (Callahan). Anyone who has made mistakes can redeem themselves if they accept their mistakes. To do this they must see their wrongs, learn from them, and turn around towards the right direction. In The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe written by C.S Lewis, we are shown the adventure of 4 siblings, Lucy, Peter, Susan, and Edmund, as they travel through a magic wardrobe that transports them to the magical land of Narnia. There they learn about the curse of eternal winter that has been cast upon Narnia by the evil White Witch.

What do Betty from "Pleasantville," June from "Leave it to Beaver," and Donna Reed from "The Donna Reed Show" all have in common? They all represent the image of the perfect housewife in the 1950s. They represent women who gladly cooked, cleaned, dressed in pearls and wore high heals while waiting for their all-knowing husbands to come home. They represent women who can only find fulfillment in male domination and nurturing maternal love. Tillie Olsen, as a single mother with four children (204), provides readers with another view of women. Through the representation of the narrator in I Stand Here Ironing, Olsen contradicts the image of the 50s ideal woman, a happy housewife and a perfect mother.

In this blog I will be talking all about UnderTale. UnderTale is a game where a character named frisk falls down in the ruins. The point of the game is to get back to civilization. There are two ways to play this game, genocide or pacifist. If you chose to play genocide then you destroy everyone and you alone make it back to civilization, however if you play pacifist then you become friends with everyone and the friendly monsters make it back to civilization with you. Genocide is known to be a lot harder because the fights are a lot more intense and there are more fights in general. If you have never played UnderTale before then I would definitely recommend playing pacifist first. In UnderTale there are many characters. Frisk is the main character (the
