Mother Gothel : A Short Story : Mother Gothel

Liesel was a girl made of darkness not only because she stole a book that was supposed to be burned but because of the emotions that urged her to steal it. These emotions first started when she was instructed by her teacher to write two letters; one would go to a friend, and the other to someone in a different class. This, of course, gave her an idea. She decided to write a letter to her mother, telling all about her new life and experiences, in hopes that she would receive it and write back. What she failed to acknowledge was the fact that Papa knew something that she didn’t, something about her mother that he wouldn’t share with her. Death tells that they’ve been back to the place that sent Liesel to live the Hubermanns and that she asked

In “Rapunzel,” the now blind prince miserably wanders the wilderness for years before happening upon the sound of Rapunzel’s voice. The prince follows the voice and finds Rapunzel, who has given birth to twins. When Rapunzel recognizes him, she embraces the prince. Rapunzel’s tears fall into the prince’s eyes, and he is able to see again. In Tangled, Rapunzel powerlessly watches Flynn die after he cuts her hair. She sobs while holding his dead body. The magic in Rapunzel’s hair remains in her tears, and when her tears hit Flynn’s body they heal him. He is brought back to life, and the two return to Corona, where Rapunzel is reunited with her family and she and Flynn get married and live happily ever after.

In a world usually depicted as a “man’s world,” a woman’s role is not considered as significant and thus can be repressed. It is why a feminist perspective or criticism comes into place, especially in literature. By definition, a feminist criticism consist of scrutinizing “the ways in which literature reinforces the economic, political, social, and psychological oppression of women.” (Tyson) In Gail Godwins’s A Sorrowful Woman, the leading female character is concentrated in her efforts in distancing from her structured lifestyle. A feminist would critic Godwins story by as the female character is in pursuit of peace and happiness and wants to escape from the role she has been implanted. The critic would concentrate on the experience woman

On February 23, 2016, I was confronted with a scare that changed my life dramatically. My Mother Colleen Micele was admitted into Bayonne Hospital due to feeling ill, however, rapidly circumstances changed for the worst. My mother was rushed to the ICU unit and her time she had left us had been decreasing by the hour. My mother developed a condition called Pulmonary Edema which is when the lungs fill with fluid. This condition had caused my mother's lungs to then collapse which lead to my mother develop Atrial Fibrillation. Matters had become extremely severe and life threatening once my mother had become Septic. The uncertainty and living second to second not knowing if my mother would make it through her illness for 5 weeks emotionally destroyed

2015 marks the 100th anniversary of Gallipoli where ANZAC Legends such as ‘Simpson and his donkey’ were born. These stories shed light on war but left the heart break of mothers and death of millions of soldiers in the dark.

After this, the now old-and-ugly witch grows to love Rapunzel, but not enough to focus on nurturing her and her needs- she’s too focused on regaining her beauty and youth. She locks Rapunzel in a tower in an attempt to keep her safe from the dangers of the outside world, and fills Rapunzel 's head with terrifying, fanciful depictions of life outside the tower. Meanwhile, she begins searching for the cure to her curse.

13. The Danes and monsters have in a sense traded deaths, but it is not over yet. They have traded deaths in the way that Grendel killed many of Hrothgar’s warrior as they slept in the hall and then Beowulf killed Grendel by slaying off his arm. Grendel’s mother is now present and enters Herot, just as her son did, and “took a single victim”. Grendel’s mother is said to have taken a special members of the Danish men in revenge for them killing her son. It states, “She’d taken Hrothgar’s closest friend… She’d killed a glorious soldier, cut a noble life short.” (Lines 18-20). Beowulf got revenge, now Grendel’s mother has, so next Beowulf is back to kill Grendel’s mother.

Once upon a time Big Blue was riding in the hood. Big Blue was a short and stocky teenage guy. Big Blue was given his name because he was big and strong and always wears blue. Blue drove his Cadillac around the hood all day. Stopping at friends and a couple small shops. Big Blue riding in the hood had to pick up his girlfriend at 3:00 and road through the hood to get to her house. He was supposed to pick her up and take her to the mall. Apparently there was a sale at Beauty Sleep Dress or BSD. What she really wanted was a new pair of Evil Queen Leather Pants from the new spinning wheel. Big Blue riding in the hood pulled up to Rapunzel’s house and waited out side. Rapunzel came dashing out of her house and gave Big Blue a hug

The best villain I think is Mother Gothel. I think that because she took Rapunzel from her real home just so she can look young and pretty. Many Disney villains try to get their way, but Mother Gothel’s methods were especially abusive. She was murdered both Rapunzel and the mighty Flynn, Gothel was actually pretty charming, so in an a dark and twisted way, it’s easy to see why Rapunzel would have fallen for her ruse for so long. Then she had the audacity to pretend she was Rapunzel’s mother and she was held in a tall, inescapable tower in the middle of nowhere.

Chapter 2 - Liesel’s Relationships With Her Parents Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief contains complex character relationships. When, the main character, Liesel first arrives on Himmel Street it is immediately clear the relationships that Liesel will have with her new parents. The relationships between Liesel and her parents change as The Book Thief reaches its climax. For example, at the beginning of The Book Thief Liesel and her mother have a distant relationship.

While comparing the two poems, "Gretel in Darkness" by Louise Gluck and "Hansel and Gretel" by Anne Sexton with the original Brothers Grimm tale "Hansel and Gretel", different perspectives, point of views and messages are shown.

In the poem Beowulf, the most evident theme is the importance of the Germanic heroic code. The heroic code was what made Beowulf so famous and god-like during his renowned life. The code is displayed in the opening lines of the poem and continued to show up throughout the duration of the poem. Heroism is often painted with a protagonist, which causes some acts of heroism to be overlooked when an antagonist follows the heroic code. Throughout the poem, there are many acts of heroism displayed, but many people overlook the way that Grendel’s mother followed the Germanic heroic code. Grendel’s mother follows the Germanic heroic code by showing courage, strength, and honor as Beowulf does throughout the poem, something that is frowned upon in the Anglo-Saxon culture.

Like the introduction, the main part of the tale is also composed of three distinct parts which form a short story on their own. A clear beginning, a central story, and an ending exists. The opening of the main part is concluded after the prince, although enchanted by Rapunzel’s singing, gives up his plan to pursue her when faced with a barrier: no entryway to the tower in which Rapunzel lives. When the prince enters the forest a second time, he is a changed person – he now has a motivation to act on his desires for Rapunzel. The prince is no longer a man who easily gives up; he is eager to form a plan for entry into the tower, and at the same time, the life of the sheltered Rapunzel. She too undergoes a

The poem “My Mother’s Face” by Brenda Serotte depicts the difficulty of a mother and daughter with a close bond trying to cope with a difficult situation of becoming an adult. “My Mother’s face” talks about the women’s state of affairs, the words used in the poem indicate that the mother is going through a difficult situation and the speaker can feel it through her close observation and on her own accord. The poem basically highlights the human aging process and the difficulty for a mother to realize the fact that her beloved daughter doesn’t need her anymore. The daughter sees the mother’s reflection and passes it for her own, feeling empathetic to the sorrow being shown on her mother's face. The daughter now realizes that with time,
