Analysis A. Strength In the story of Fantastic Mr. Fox shown the importance of family like Mr. Fox and his family were working for their own sake to survived together. It shows also the qualities of Mr. Fox for being intelligent and called as Fantastic Mr. Fox. In this story, it used also the figurative language nad speech like using imagery to differentiate and characterize the three farmers and using irony on the part of rising action and climax where the farmers are waiting to Mr. Fox out from his hole, while the animals lived happily and safely. B. Weaknesses In the story of Fantastic Mr. Fox doesn’t incude the communication between the three farmers and their family. It doesn’t told in the story, the reason why they are called as nasty men in the first place before they knew that Mr. Fox was the one who stealing a food from their farms. At the end of the story, the farmers remain waiting Mr. Fox to show up in the hole, instead of managing their farms. IV.
Mr. Bones is a story of a boy’s account of his father’s change of personality after joining a minstrel show. The boy narrates the big contrast in the family dynamics as the father takes on an alternative persona. The sudden change of personality causes the boy to doubt how his father really is. Mr. Bones advocates the idea that we should not judge a book by its cover, as there is more to a person than what we see. It also represents how everyone has feelings, and the desire to be heard and treated properly. The author uses the minstrel show’s songs, the Jim Crow laws and its stereotypical character Jim Crow to symbolize the changes the character go through.
The historical context of the book shows how agriculture affected the Great Depression. During this time the nation’s grain was harvested more and more by machines and not as much labor needed to be done by people like in the past. The migrant workers were still needed in California with the harvest. These workers traveled from farm to farm to find work. These migrant workers, Lennie and George had a dream of one day owning their own farm.
Animal Farm is a "fairy tale story" based on the Russian Revolution. The story can be related to almost any revolution because the main idea involves dictatorship. In this essay, Animal Farm will be compared to the events and people that were involved in the French Revolution. The animals in Mr. Jones farm were treated harshly, like the lower class citizens of France. The common element in both was that there was no middle class, the French and the animals on the farm were either very wealthy or living in extreme poverty. As for the French revolution, King Louis XVI can be compared to Mr. Jones the farmer because King Louis XVI was the ruler in France before the revolution and Mr. Jones owned and controlled the farm.
Mr Jones is the owner of Manor Farm and a farmer, but afterwards he loses his money in a lawsuit, drinks excessively. His dishonest men forget to feed the animals. So, the animals who are activated hardly hate him and attempt a Rebellion. He is kicked out from the farm by his persistent animals who reign there.
author presents many realism in the story, although using animal to make it more hilarious, the essence of the story was a reality in things and attitude we see in many people in today’s society. In other words the author uses many characteristics we see in our world like cleverness, competition, lies and dishonesty. I really enjoyed reading this
In the spring of 2020 there was no one to be seen in the city of Fox Town. Anna was the only person in the city. She was walking to her favorite coffee shop where she now works at. She walked in and only one person was in there. Her childhood friend Jackson. Jackson was working his shift which was from 8am to 2pm.”Hey Jackson!” Anna said “Have you seen anyone in the town today?” No and no one has came in here either. I have been the only person working in here. Anna looked out the window and saw that the city looked nice and clean and the colors of the buildings looked like they had meant something. She had never noticed those things before. Everything always looked the same. Hours went by and it was now noon. Anna and Jackson started seeing

For years film connoisseurs and voracious readers have engaged in the debate over which is better, the original writing or the adaptation onto celluloid. While there are several examples that can support both arguments, this essay focuses on one particular adaptation; Roald Dahl’s loved story “Fantastic Mr. Fox” and its 2009 adaptation with the same title. In this case too, the film maker has taken several liberties and added various elements to dramatize the story further in order make it more visually appealing. However, unlike many attempts, this one works perfectly well. Wes Anderson manages to take a simple children’s story and turn it into something that even the meme crazy internet generation will enjoy.
Fox creates a one of a kind film, peculiar characters are one of these key components. This is seen through all of the characters in this film, from Mr. Fox himself to the three Farmers. Although seen as completely civilized individuals, all of the characters have certain quirks that make them unique. An example of this quirkiness is seen in the way the animal characters eat, they are wholly civilized in almost every other aspect of their lives, except this. This “wild animal” side is also seen in times of peril, whether it is stealing birds or running from the farmers. The use of quirky and abnormal characters is accompanied by a quirky and abnormal storyline. In one light we have these non-human characters that live much like the humans do, however, but with certain exceptions. “In fact, some of the movie’s best moments are when these animals break from their civilized affairs and remember that they are indeed just wild animals”, as stated by

Prior to these symptoms Patrick was content, he was an active child with good grades who enjoyed school, and at the young age of 12, his life was turned upside-down. He was diagnosed within a year with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) - a chronic illness affecting blood pressure - although it took a couple years for Patrick to be able to partake in extracurricular activities, school, and social activities.

Many of the animals in the story were unhappy with the way that society was being run and felt that they were not living their best lives due to the way Mr. Jones, the farmer, was treating them. When a pig named Major, who stands out as a leader of the animals, explains how he feels something needs to be done about the loss of happiness in the farm, he tells the other animals that their, “‘lives are miserable, laborious, and short. [They] are born, [they] are given just so much food as will keep the breath in [their] bodies, and those of [them] who are capable of it are forced to work to the last atom of [their] strength;’” and that, “‘the very instant that [their] usefulness has come to an end [they] are slaughtered with hideous cruelty,’”
I was eating the pancakes Shadow Foxy made. They were surprisingly good for his first time making them, but he probably learned from the champ.
