Which medium do you think is better, Rodman Philbrick's Freak the Mighty or Peter Chelsom’s film The Mighty? Both in the novel Freak the Mighty by Rodman Philbrick and the film, The Mighty by Peter Chelsom portray the theme of friendship for which people can change people for the better or for the worse towards their future.

The story of the Beauty and the Beast is well known amongst all ages. Though the story they portray in the Disney version is much different than what they have portrayed it in France. La Belle et la Bête has been produced twice, once in 1946 and again in 2014. These two movies tell the same story but in very different ways. The perception of this story has changed between the different time periods.

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” God is the creator of all things in this world, holy and unholy. It was him who created the birds, trees, oceans, and seas. He said “let there be light” and there was light. Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all of the earth and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” There has been attempt to duplicate the almighty God’s creation, although, there are many differences, there are some mind blowing similarities.

Freak the Mighty book or movie? I would choose the movie because I like to watch movies and I can understand things in movies more than books. I think movies are better because you don’t have to read or hold anything while listen or watching the movie. I think there is more action going on during a movie versus the book. You don’t really need to picture anything in your head during a movie because it is right there compared to a book.

Throughout the novel Freak the Mighty author Rodman Philbrick creates a compelling story featuring the main characters, Maxwell “Max” Kane and Kevin Dillon, better known as Freak, who go through a journey testing their friendship and loyalty to each other against the forces of evil in life. Max has not had it easy, with his mother being murdered by his father Kenny “Killer” Kane, and he has “never had a brain” (Philbrick 1). These actions and thoughts have left him with no friends and immense grief. Freak has also had a fairly lonely life, being two feet tall with extraordinary intelligence leaving him an outcast. Even into adulthood, people like to isolate others due to appearance or behavior. Loretta Lee, a woman the boys meet on a quest and also an old friend of Kenny Kane, is a perfect example, as she is judged by her looks and the way she can act. Despite their looks or behavior, all of these characters have the best intentions and enormous hearts, and are living a quality life, proving that just because someone is different, does not mean they are not of the same worth as everyone else.

Many, if not most, of the people in today's generation are constantly judged by others and even themselves based on what their identity comprises of. The concept of racial injustice and inequality among ethnic minorities constantly fills the media. Women's rights issues seem to arise rapidly whenever a single female is mistreated in the slightest way. The debate on homosexuality is also an enormous topic in our social lives today, with millions of supporters for it, but also millions against it. This internal segregation within our own human population is nothing new, since it has been continuing ever since verbal and written communication with each other has existed. All these components, and many more, are a huge part of what identifies a

F. Scott Fitzgerald felt as if he needed excessive amounts of money to succeed and succeeded as an author in the 20th century, after his first novel in 1920, he wrote The Beautiful and the Damned which was then followed by The Great Gatsby. In the Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald showed comparisons to his own life as he went to Paris with his wife after This Side of Paradise in 1920 succeed and lived an extravagant lifestyle but behind his façade was a writer struggling to continue the wealthy lifestyle and was unhappy and struggling with alcoholism. These comparisons show as Jay Gatsby was a wealthy man who longed for the American Dream and a wealthy lifestyle. As well as the want for wealth and a sophisticated lifestyle, he also has the desire for Daisy Buchanan. The novel is written from Gatsby’s neighbour Nick Caraway’s point of view, Jay Gatsby is introduced to the audience as a wealthy and generous man who throws extravagant parties and has built his fortunes himself in the hope that it will win him Daisy. Gatsby is killed for Daisy’s mistake at the end of the novel and his wealthy lifestyle is no more. The beautiful and the damned is the story of Anthony Patch “who was intended by Fitzgerald to be a tragic character” and was born into a wealthy family but rejects this and tries to distance himself from their reputation and upper-class name. He marries a socialite called Gloria and their common longing to live an extravagant lifestyle but the lack of interest in working to

Poems are like people, they may have some similarities, but no two poems are exactly the same. Each poem is unique and different in it own special way. The poem “A Wall Between Us” by Elizabeth Padillo Olesen and the poem “If the World Was Crazy” by Shel Silverstein both demonstrates proper use of poetic devices, however, the two poems have completely different moods and gives off completely different messages to the reader.

Monster is one of the major themes that appear in American works of art, but there are no criteria on how the monster should be, either physically or psychologically. Two pieces of art introduced in this unit are the comic “Black Hole” written by Charles Burns and the Netflix series “Stranger Things” produced by the Duffer Brothers. Within these two productions, the main description and impression on monster are entirely different. Whereas “Stranger Things” focus more on the super power of the Demogorgon, “Black Hole” instead emphasizes on the physical mutation that the monster brings to human beings. During the fight against these monsters, several main characters stand out in front of the audience with their admirable actions, pitiful experiences

“This is the monster we know so well, the monster we have taken into our hearts and lives, the monster that makes us tremble and cheer, the monster we fear, we seek, and we have become. This is the monster made by man” (Hitchcock 3). Monsters like Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein have been used on many occasions to describe people’s or societies’ self-created monsters. America, contrary to its attractive appeal, is filled with its own self-created monsters lurking in the darkness that have yet to show their true colors. It is our monsters that I find particularly relatable to the popular television show Doctor Who. Specifically, season two episodes five and six. In these episodes we are introduced to a parallel world, strikingly similar to our own. In this world, their monsters come in the form of the Cybermen, who were created by a mad scientist with the backing of a corrupt corporation. In America today, we see similar monsters in our quickly expanding scientific advancements and in our nation’s decision to view corporations as legal persons.

It all started off with a major hit called, “The Little Mermaid”, Disney made a different version of this but it was originally made by, Hans Christian Anderson, he was a Danish fairytale writer who first write the tale in 1837, but later on in 1989 Disney came out with their version similar but very different at the same time from Hans. In a review from Disney’s “The Little Mermaid”, Roger Ebert says, “Walt Disney's "The Little Mermaid" is a jolly and inventive animated fantasy - a movie that's so creative and so much fun it deserves comparison with the best Disney work of the past”. The movie is about a young mermaid who is a princess down in the ocean but wishes more than anything to be like us, human. To know what it feels like to walk

Another difference between the book and the movie is that the movie has some added scenes. In the movie, when Chance is forced to leave the house he lived in, he is runs into a group of black people. When Chance asks them for directions, they pull out a knife and threaten him. They think that some guy named, Raphael, sent Chance there for something. The man with the knife tells Chance to bring back Raphael a message, which was explicit. Later in the movie, Chance sees another black person, and he asks him if he knows Raphael because he needs to give him a message. In the book, as soon as Chance is leaves the house, he is hit by the limousine.
