The Belly of Paris, written by, Émile Zola is about a man named Florent who was wrongly put in prison from Louis-Napoleon’s coup-d’etat. He escapes from prison and returns from the countryside to find an unrecognizable Paris.

The image projects a painting of a striking sunset and This metaphorically suggests that the rabbits have already begun to construct their homes, and now nobody can stop them. Their forceful invasion into the native indigenous landscape is further emphasised by the dead lizard featured in the foreground, which has been brutally squashed with seemingly no remorse. Furthermore, the buildings in the background are entirely formed by jigsaw pieces. Thus Tan presents us with a visual allegory of the rabbit society as manipulative and un-relentless nature.

The death of animals motif shows human power over animals. An example of this is when Lennie killed his pet mouse by “”Jus’ strokin’ it.” (9) Mice are fragile, tiny and to George useless as he “threw the mouse as far as he could into the darkening bush” (9). If Lennie can end an animal's life and George just throw it and have no emotion about it showcases that humans think that they have the power over something smaller then them or “lower” on the social ladder. Lennie is a guy that harms something but it’s unintentional as he “sat in the hay and looked at a little dead puppy that lay in front of him” (85) by once again simply stroking an innocent puppy too hard he killed it. This also goes along with having no regard on how to get rid of the dead animal as he states “‘I’ll throw him away,” he said. “It's bad enough like it is”’ (92) Indicating that he had the power of the puppies life and took it away. A final symbolization of power is Candy’s dog. Carlson is telling Candy to kill his

The film Amelie provides multiple examples of individuals sacrificing, and applying Campbell 's moral objective to their own lives. One of the people from the film that follow the objective is Dominique Bretodeau. When he was a young boy, he lost his treasure box. Directly after it was returned to him from a stranger, he began to tear up over the lost memories that the box contained. He then confides in people at the bar that he has not spoken to his daughter in years, and because of this does not know his grandson. This simple act of kindness was enough to make Bretodeau sacrifice his pride enough to reconcile with his daughter and grandson. He had no idea if his family was going to open their arms, or push him away for being away for so long. This failed to stop Bretodeau. This journey of becoming a hero was a spiritual one. Most of the conflict happened within his own heart. A small act of thoughtfulness helped a man choose to create a better life for him, and his estranged family.
