“Sure.” I answer, feeling almost euphoric as we talk about really dopey things, and referencing Toy Story, with me laughing for at “I am the snake in my boot.” for a good 15 minutes. All things have an end, and my night ended at 11 P.M. with the gang splitting ways with Elijah driving Wade and Hayden back home and Harper driving me and Kacie home in his 2009 Jeep Wrangler passed down from his dad. The ride home was quiet, even with music blasting from the radio. The Eagan streets being no one but us as we sped down the roads, I take a look at the countless stars that filled the what was an empty sky during the day. My hair flew in the wind, subsequently a fretful feeling took over my thoughts as I know this moment won't last. I can’t help but
It’s family vacation time again for the Heffley’s. This time it’s a family road trip that was decided by Greg’s mom. They originally were going to go to Disney World, but Mannie cried that he didn’t want to go. So, road trip it was, to see their aunt at the nursing home, go to the beach, and whatever else came along the way. Family road trips are suppose to be fun and all about spending time with the family, unless you are the Heffley’s of course. The thing that grosses Greg out the most every time they go on a trip, they have to bring Mannie’s potty with them in the car. Greg feels really uncomfortable when Mannie uses it while they are driving.
In the film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the mise-en-scène tells the audience a lot about the story going on around them. The movie starts off introducing the different kinds of candy that are produced in what we can only assume, is the Wonka Factory. With this the director sets a calm and colorful effect to his audience, thus capturing their full attention. Once this is over we see that kids crave wonka candy since it is the first thing that the kids do once school is out for the day. Here is when Charlie Bucket is introduced.
The way our culture has a tendency to view other individuals by there appearance will probably never change. In some way everyone has it set in his or her mind what makes a person "perfect". These characteristics include personal appearance, wealth and intelligence. We do not always get the chance to get to know a person, but rather make assumptions. Two poems, which reveal different perceptions of someone, include Richard Cory and The Barbie Doll.
Toy Story is the groundbreaking 1995 motion picture developed by Disney and Pixar and directed by John Lasseter. The film was so revolutionary not only because it was the first feature length animation to be created completely by CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) but also, also the film was more rounded in all respects. The characters not only looked more sophisticated and three-dimensional but their personalities were also more human and fewer cartoons like. The film uses a constructed text in order to put across a theme of two very different characters learning to work together beyond their rivalries to rise above a common enemy and work towards a common goal. The film uses characters and imagery very cleverly to
“Well I would say goodnight, but I don’t like you.” I pulled out and she sat back down, with tears streaming down her face. I drove through little communities listening to the radio and eating the food I saved. I arrived in Reno, Nevada at 7:00 a.m. My bloodshot eyes told me I needed to rest, even for a few hours, but I’m going to see my daughter. I was low on gas, but I decided to take the risk of going up the mountain on the way to Tahoe. The tree’s became a blur as I pushed the pedal. The warm summer light beaming onto the road before me. The pine trees smell blessed my nose.
We left Garberville, CA at 5 a.m. We knew it would be a long haul ahead of us. I slept on the floorboard of the back seat of Holly’s truck for the first couple of hours. Holly was a funny outgoing and straight to the point person. Along with us were my Mom and Dad, Dylan(Holly’s husband) and there two kids Ashley and Clayton. Dylan was a tall red head that is always the life of the party. Ashley was a short dirty blonde girl that loves her horses. And Clayton, clayton was just like his dad a big built red hair with blue eyes and super outgoing. Finally were my parents. My Mom and Dad we both very active outgoing people who got along great with Dylan and Holly and their kids so we knew it was going to be a fun week in Winnemucca. We
The drive in was empty that night like usual. I was there propped on some abandoned car watching a rerun of Star Wars. I blew smoke out into the air and looked up at the stars as i wondered about things. I wished that ponyboy was here with me but him and Darry had went out to the store. I sat up as the movie and began the walk home.
Topic: Compare how the theme of innocence is represented in The Book Thief and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.
On one of those nights, when I drifted off into a nightmare, I found myself alone in a silent town that looked to be abandoned. The walls of the buildings, as well as the sidewalks had writing on them. Words such as "Mr. Piggyton" and "Play!" were drawn on with chalk. There were also random names written as well. The most troubling was the large drawing of Mr. Piggyton that was drawn on the walls of an abandoned candy store. Below that, "Let's all have some fun!" was written.
When I was four or five, my parents decided to take us, my siblings and I, to disneyland. Well I didn’t actually know because I woke up right away when we were already inside the resort. As a little kid I thought that I had powers like The Incredibles. So I thought I transported them to Disneyland. I don’t remember much but I know that I met many of my favorite characters from the disney movies. I remember that I met Goofy, Mulan and The Incredibles. I only met Mr. and Mrs. Incredibles but not violet, dash or jack-jack. I can also remember meeting A Bug’s Life characters. After meeting them we just got inside the theater and we watched a musical that I can’t remember about. My brother would take me with him to the scary rides. I don’t remember
When I was in the fourth grade I could not go anywhere in my classroom and beyond without seeing it. The green book.So now curiosity peaked at the sheer number of students who constantly grasped it in their hands I decided to find out its name, and after stealthy glances at my peers I discovered it was called Diary of a Whimpy kid: the last straw. Now with the information I soon asked my parents for the book and eventually I myself was the owner of the green book. Now with the chance to discover what had enraptured the attention of so many of my peers I eagerly consumed the book and found myself craving more of the story. I soon attained the remaining books and devoured them in a quite greedy manner. But once I ran out of my hunger began to
The video, presented in the Youtube platform, begins with with a young boy playing with a gun. In the background, the sound of dramatic and melancholic music sets the tone for the video. This in turn, sparks an interest in the viewer because they are drawn to keep watching to see what is the meaning of the video. As the viewer keeps watching, the first quote that is displayed reads, “It doesn’t explore.” “It” being the weapon the little boy is carrying, this implies that weapons are not meant to be used for adventure, or for curiosity even. The second quote on the video reads, “ It doesn’t bring us together,” this is then followed by “It doesn’t create.” The moment these lines appear on the screen for the viewers to see, the child in the video is playing with trucks and legos. This is significant because it portrays weapons as something negative that doesn’t allow for creativity and unity. Guns don’t allow for innovation or positive change, rather one is left to assume that they tear people and society apart.

For almost four decades, Al Gore has fought to bring public awareness to a threatening problem, global warming. Al Gore once famously stated, "The warnings about global warming have been extremely clear for a long time. We are facing a global climate crisis. It is deepening. We are entering a period of consequences." Failing and succeeding, Al gore continues his battle educating the masses about the potential dangers and current dangers of global warming. Warner Brothers and Disney have created films about nature that acknowledge serious environmental problems. These films include Bambi (Disney, 1942) and Happy Feet (Warner Brothers, 2006). Bambi follows a young fawn as he grows up in the forest when campers carelessly leave a campfire
