Shrek-Personal Narrative

Shrek is a territorial, lonely, and somewhat of a nice ogre. He lives all alone in

Instead of seeing Gaston as a horrible being, the father sees him as just having a home like the average human. In the story, Saroyan writes,“of course not. How would we like it if somebody hollered every time we came out of our house.” Another quote from Saroyan’s Gaston is, “He’s a bug. He’s ugh. Not at all. He’s Gaston, the grand boulevardier.” Instead of looking at Gaston, seeing he is an insect, and killing him, the father makes up an interesting thought of what he is in the insect world. These quotes are magnificent pieces of evidence that the author makes the father have rare philosophies that are very

When she grows into an adult, her abusive foster father reveals to her that she is not his daughter. After this, Zelena leaves her father and goes to The Wizard of Oz to learn more about her heritage. She learns that she was abandoned by her mother, Cora, and learns that she has a sister named Regina who her mother had kept, because Regina would bring Cora the one thing she had always desired that Zelena couldn’t give her; a royal status, because she had Regina with a prince that she had married named Henry, and she had Zelena with a gardener named Jonathan. She learns that Regina is being taught magic by Rumpelstiltskin, and goes to the Enchanted Forest so she can also learn how to control her magic from Rumpelstiltskin. Eventually, Rumpelstiltskin drops Zelena as his student. When Zelena returns to Oz, she learns that The Wizard of Oz is a fake, and turns him into a flying monkey. She grows jealous of Regina, and her skin starts to turn green with envy. She eventually becomes the ruler of Oz. The twist it puts on Snow White and the Seven Dwarves is that The Evil Queen, Regina, has a different reason for hating Snow White besides her being more beautiful than her. Regina, before marrying Snow White’s father, is

Lord Farquaad sends fairy tale creatures to Shrek's swamp, so he leaves the swamp to go to Lord Farquaad. To get his swamp back, he has to rescue the princess Fiona

After Sleeping beauty pricks her finger and falls into the deep sleep, the struggle is then on to revive her. The prolonged period of time that varies between the stories depends on the hero, whom overcomes the evil villain with the help of the good fairies. The penultimate sequence in which the hero defeats the villain transformed into the dragon, to me resembles the legend of Saint George and the Dragon. The prince then finds the princess and gives her the kiss of life and she is awoken. He then returns with the princess and gets recognised as a hero when they get married. However this is not the end in the Charles Perrault version as the prince’s mother is not happy with the marriage, and tries to eat the princess and the newly married couples children, eventually she throws herself into a vat of vipers and dies.

“I heard what you said, fool. Wherever this assassin is, I want you and an army of twenty other guards to hunt him down. Do whatever you can.” Her voice was not delicate anymore, as anger rose from her.

In William Steig’s Story, Shrek is portrayed as the hero who goes on a quest for an evil lord to rescue a princess from a dragon-guarded castle in exchange for his swamp. The Hero’s Journey clock begins in the hero’s ordinary world called status quo that encounters an incentive to venture in to the new world. That change is the call to adventure which will lead the hero to seek assistance. The Hero with the help of their assistants will face the trials and challenges of the unfamiliar world before the heroic action.

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.

“That’s enough out of everyone and since we must continue, I suggest we continue in silence.”

The Beauty and the Beast starts with a lively music in the castle which immediately set us into action. A castle full of expensive housewares and beautiful ladies wearing white gowns dancing to the music represent perfection. The ball is interrupted by a knock from an unexpected beggar who offered the insensitive prince a rose for shelter. The loud thunderclap and the way the chandelier lights were blown off by the wind intensified the scene. When he refuses, the beggar transformed into an enchantress and changed him into a hideous beast and his servants into housewares. The camera angle which showed the shadow figure of the prince turning to a beast was amazingly done. She casts a spell on the rose and it would only be broken if he could learn to love another and earn their love in return by the time the last petal fell. On the other hand, Belle starts the film in a small lively village which implies peacefulness and security. Belle is a simple, creative girl wanting to leave her monotonous village life to explore new things and go to an adventure. This came true when her horse Philippe went home anxiously without Maurice, her father. The way the horse neighed repeatedly implied that something is wrong. Belle, without hesitation, stormed off to the castle where her father was imprisoned and took his place as

These films have many characters that share characteristics along with the same role for their own films. First, there’s the Beast and Edward. They were the ones that everyone would look at and consider wicked; in reality people are just basing this off their looks. Even though the Beast started off being monstrous, Belle had changed him to be genuine to everyone. He hadn’t even done anything wrong when the villagers attacked. Gaston had only made them believe the Beast could do

The first character to be discussed is Belle, in the original book. An author online even states “The original Beauty and the Beast Story is not what you expect” ( S. Paul). What is unique about Belle in the book is that she is the youngest of six children, which is never shown in the movie. Her father is not an inventor either, but is a very wealthy merchant who loses his fortune. The whole family in the original was forced to move to the country, where they had to live much more simple. Belle is a very special girl though, with very jealous older sisters of her beauty but also the fact that she is able to not be miserable in such a simple lifestyle.

The fact that he is first drawn to her voice rather than her appearance seems to suggest an attraction more to who she is rather than anything physical. Her “voice” may be symbolic of Rapunzel’s thoughts and personality. However, the first time the prince finds Rapunzel, he is obviously unprepared to proceed into this facet of his life. He searches for a door through which to reach her but is

In the Grimm’s version of Rapunzel, Rapunzel doesn’t get trapped in the tower until she

If Rapunzel was never captured in the tower, the prince may have never found her that deep in the forest, and heard her sing. A plot makes up a story, and a main part of the plot was the prince finding his love and furtively planning an escape each day he came. However, Rapunzel was locked away and the story encroaches with a series of events that are a result from this. When the prince finds that Rapunzel is stuck up in the tower, he insists on marrying her, and does. They then plan a way out, which sparks into another problem, in which that problem sparks into the conclusion. Rapunzel is thrown out into the wild, and the prince is tricked and goes blind in the process. However, these key details of the story are all essential to the outcome of the lovers finding each other again. This is where a conflict can come to an end and be solved through the sequence of events that all tie to the main conflict.
