Rose and The Ugly Prince

A mother is a woman that loves her children despite all of their flaws, insecurities, and fears. A mother is a woman who will always worry about her children no matter how old they may grow, from age zero to age fifty-five. A mother is someone that will go hungry so that her children can eat, will walk barefoot so her children will have shoes, and will go poor paying for her children’s needs. These characteristics all describe a typical mother but not all describe Rose Mary Walls, the mother of four children in the memoir The Glass Castle. Instead of acting in a selfless manner rather than selfish, Rose Mary’s attitudes and behaviors are childlike to the point that her children must assume adult responsibilities because she refuses to.

When Popocatepetl returned and found his love dead he took her to the garden where they professed their love. He lay her on a bed of flowers not realizing the rose they told to keep their love promise had turned all the other roses red so that the promise stays

Dark clouds covered the sky like water covering the ocean. Boom! Thunder roared in the distance. Drip! Drip! Drip! Rain ferociously banged against the ground. The atmosphere was a quite mouse except for the rain. Clouds covered the stars, but the moon summoned a faint beam of light down on the forest. Fire raged in the rose’s head. The male rose wanted freedom from the field and to run like a human. However, while he was wishing that, NASA reported an extremely giant asteroid heading towards Colorado Springs in 3 days. An hour later, Jhonny Appleseed was coming to plant a small apple plant when suddenly the male rose stretched out his roots and using the energy of the soil; he pulled the apple plant out of the pot and threw the plant out

The Grapes of Wrath was an amazing book. For myself, the book was simple to understand and relate as many of the dilemmas that the Joad family had gone before, many people still experience today. Similar to Rose of Sharon, numberless women have problems carrying and giving birth to their children today. Although we don’t have as many migrant workers as in the Joads time, we are still rather nasty to each other. In this day of age, many people leave their significant other when they find out that they are pregnant, like Connie left Rose of Sharon.

Women have been the victim of unfair stereotypes and placed at different standards than men since the beginning of time. The Ruined Maid by Thomas Hardy and One Perfect Rose by Dorothy Parker take an in depth look at how women are viewed by the opposite gender. Although they take a different approach and have contrasting poetry styles, the theme that is portrayed is prominent for both. Hardy’s poem portrays a woman living in the Victorian Era where the norm was to be married and faithful. The character ‘Melia lives in an individualistic way and is not only unmarried, but has participated in sexual activities before marriage. With this liveliness comes riches and prosperity, but also social backlash. One Perfect Rose tells the story of a woman who receives a rose as a gift from her love interest. The unnamed persona is displeased with this rose because it is typical and thoughtless. The classic gift that men give to women is a rose, which is looked at as a romantic gesture. This poem’s purpose is to show the audience that not every girl’s dream gift is a “perfect rose.” The Ruined Maid by Thomas Hardy and One Perfect Rose by Dorothy Parker explore how two women break away from typical stereotypes and long for a more unconventional way of life.

     As the old saying goes “The good guy always wins”; Cinderella ends up going to the prince’s ball and is the only girl he dances with all night. For three nights the Prince walked Cinderella home, and she would disappear. However, on the third day the prince caught Cinderella’s shoe by putting wax on the steps. He gets the shoe and tries to find her. He goes to Cinderella’s house to try to find her, and her step sisters try on the shoe with no avail. Finally, Cinderella tried on the shoe and it was a perfect fit. Now that the Prince had found his princess, they decided to get married.

This fish was different from all the other colored fish in the lake, it was so clear, that you could see through it. When the fisherman looked around the lake, he saw no other colored fish swimming around like he saw earlier that day. “This must be a bad sign for the King,” said the fisherman to himself. The fisherman walked to and arrived at the throne of the King. There sat the King in a gleaming golden robe, he was surrounded with massive piles of golden coins and laughing with his viziers. “Oh fisherman, you’re back, where is my new gifts of fish?” happily said the King. “Here O King, I have brought you a fish, different from what you have seen before, but I must warn you, it may be more of a curse instead of a blessing to you.”, replied the fisherman. “Nonsense fisherman, give this fish to me,”, replied the King. “Yes King, but heed this warning first, it is said that troubles don’t come as expected but rather comes when one is relaxed and is at peace.” The fisherman reluctantly gives the King the clear fish and then the King suddenly begins to shrink. “No, what is happening to me?!”, shrieked the King. The King shrunk to the size of a small stone, the clear fish opened its mouth and a jar and cap came forth from it. The King was sucked in a whirlwind into the jar and the cap was sealed onto the jar, then the jar slowly rolled out of the palace, until it rested at the bottom of the

In Rosen’s article, she highlights the harsh effects of images on the coming generations. Supporting the same argument, Hymowitz discusses how history is destroyed by the images posted in the mass media websites. Rosen quotes Camille Paglia on one of her observations of her students “young people today are flooded with disconnected images but lack a sympathetic instrument to analyze them as well as a historical frame of reference in which to situate them” (10). Paglia says that “young people” are destructed by the images and their future becomes indefinite. In the past, children used to inherit culture, traditions and even behaviors which enable them to become experts in facing life’s obstacles such as lack of self esteem, making decisions and managing time.

One evening a knock was heard at our front door, it was a message from the Prince! A royal ball was to be taken place in his castle to find his bride. I just know he'll choose me, I was meant for royalty! I showed mother and Anastasia the invitation, they were just as trilled as i was, and the funny this was, Cinderella was excited too. I don't know why she thought she deserved to go after not even finishing her chores for the week. Mother told her she couldn't go unless everything was finished but to make sure she could not go, mother made the list unbelievably long. Cinderella did not take it well. She was going crazy talking to the mice in the wall, telling them all about how unfair it was.

After a bee flew up to him, he stood up and he now knew what to do. The father then went to a place where the bees made their hives. “He made a fire and put green branches so that it made smoke. Then he blew the smoke into the tree where the bees where. The bees soon fell asleep.”

Their contrasting forms were perhaps indicative of their vastly different gangs. Rose was the epitome of lower-class pomp and circumstance, so to speak. Her eye-catching garb and scandalous style seemed to demand the attention of the room. It mirrored her gang perfectly. The Stars and Stripes weren't the quiet underbelly of the city, they were the rambunctious kings of it. They strutted about in full sight of both police and the lesser gangs of the city. They weren't careful, quiet, or calculated. They were loud and harsh, as braggadocios as their leader Rose.

This is where Alice meets the blue Caterpillar. He is sitting on top of a giant mushroom smoking from a hookah pipe. He ask her “Who are YOU?” Alice is at this point confused. She tells him how she doesn’t know anymore, and she knew who she was this morning. He doesn’t like her answer and has a rude and nasty attitude. So, Alice ask him shouldn’t you he tell her who he is first. The Caterpillar tells ask Alice to recite a poem and proceeds to teller she got it all wrong very rudely. He then ask Alice what size she wanted to be. Alice then no longer controls her temper. She insults him about his height saying three inches tall is a wretched height. He tells her about the mushroom that one side will make her smaller and one side will make her

“I can hear and I can see…I was born quite rich.” the daisy thought, as the sun was shining on it and it was lucky enough to hear the chirps of the lark. (Andersen,108). Across from the daisy, within the safety of the white picket fence, resided ostentatious flowers, such as tulips and roses. The daisy was sure—but not bitter—that the lark was going to fly down to those flowers, but instead, one day, the little bird flew down and landed beside the daisy. The daisy and the lark grew fond of each other, creating a bond like no other. Soon after this alliance was formed, sadness ensues as two menacing boys capture the lark and lay him in a cage. The lark becomes sad as he can no longer spread his wings and be free; he is trapped. Of course, the daisy wants nothing more than to help its friend, and its prayers are answered

The main fictional aspect of the film was the love story between Jack and Rose, two people who never actually traveled on the Titanic, or even existed. James Cameron envisaged the entire concept of this love story during pre-production, and uses the idea to manipulate the audience throughout the entire film. Character development in the film was vital, as this led the audience to care for what actually happened to these people. The death of 1500 people was tragic, but without key characters the audience feels no strong connection to what happens in the film. To make this connection even more effective, he uses a flashback and framing technique in the telling of the love story. He begins the story in the present day for the starting proportion of the film. He then uses a flashback sequence to 1912 for the majority of the rest, and then cuts back to the present day for the concluding part of the film. He also visits the present day a few times briefly during the main chunk of the movie set in 1912, to make important links between the two different aged Roses'. The first 25 minutes of the film are shot entirely in the present day. The old Rose' is shown as a feeble old woman who is being flown out to help a deep-sea recovery team in the finding of a priceless diamond necklace. A drawing recovered from the ship of Rose by her lover Jack is shown to the old Rose. The emotions shown by the actress playing her on the sight of this picture conveys highly effectively to the

Many people around the world have gone to various wonderful places around the world, whether it be to visit the seven wonders of the world, go to concerts, or to even to watch the Olympics. But there is one particular event that is intriguing and catches one's eye if you were to pass by.

The Rose Parade is an annual event that takes place in January, first in Pasadena, California to celebrate the New Year.
