Snowflake Persuasive Speech

A feel-good Christmas story for older kids and their parents, Elf trades heavily on Will Ferrell's physical comedy skill set. The film offers good and awkward moments in equal measure in the tale of an out-of-place "elf" searching for his real father and trying to reignite the Christmas spirit. There’s been a lot of hatred and prejudice clogging the news outlets during winter, even during a time of year when a large percentage of the world is supposed to be celebrating the arrival of Christmas and flurries of warm, fuzzy thoughts. Even if you’re not celebrating Christmas, there are still plenty of reasons to have warm, fuzzy thoughts. And the warm fuzzes, you know, can cross cultures, languages, climates, and skin colors. They can be profound, too, or silly. In the midst of so much intolerance and confusion, of bitterness and cynicism, I feel, once again, that a little bit of a good movie can do a lot to bring to mind the silliness of war and the healing power of peace and understanding, even under the most ridiculous of circumstances. Which is why, today, I recommend—seriously—the movie Elf.

One night, Santa Clause was delivering gifts at an orphanage. One of the toddlers at the orphanage wakes up and climbs out of his crib. “BANG” he fell on the ground and started to crawl towards Santa Clause gift sack. Buddy starts his journey once he got into Santa’s gift sack. Santa did not realize that a toddler snuck into his gift sack. Santa arrives back to The North Pole, and the elves and him hear something moving in the sack. A second later a baby crawls out of the gift sack. Santa and the elves were in shock when they saw the baby. The baby’s name is on the baby’s

Elf revolves around a premature human named Buddy, played by Will Ferrell, who was misplaced in Santa’s sack on a Christmas night many years ago. As he grows up Buddy starts to ask more and more questions about his real family. His adopted father then sends him to New York City, where his real family lives. As Buddy arrives to the Big Apple, he encounters multiple challenges such as his father, his new job, and his love life. When Buddy arrives his biological father is constantly a scrooge because it’s Christmas time and he is having trouble writing a children’s book. Buddy doesn’t help his situation because all he wants to do is have quality time, but to his father he is being an annoying child. Buddy also has to find a way to cope with a job. As he wanders into a mall, Buddy is mistaken by

This show can be seen on TV every Christmas season. Then Ron Howard takes this short film and draws it out to be a two and a half-hour long movie. The worst aspect of the movie is that it makes a mockery of Seuss's main message: “Christmas doesn't come from a store.” This movie is all about selling, from those furry talking Grinch dolls to endless fast-food tie-ins.

As the story moves along Sam out the elder in different situations to see if he would eat the green eggs and ham, but to Sam’s dismay the elder wouldn’t. Finally after trying and trying and trying Sam gets the elder to try the Green eggs and ham. One of the most popular stories by Dr. Seuss is the classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas. This story became so popular that Universal Studios not only picket it up for a movie, but also a whole theme for their Christmas season theme park. In this story the Grinch loathes Christmas and the who’s with every fiber of his being. The Grinch presents himself as socially cut off from the who’s down in whoville. He lives on top of Mt. Crumpit with his dog Max. All of this hate is because his heart is two sizes too small (and this time he’ll keep it off). He finally had enough of the Who’s bangboozaling and clangclangaling so he devised a plan to steal Christmas. After Santa Clause came and delivered all the presents to the houses he would sneak in, in his Santa Clause suit and steal every present, every light, every decoration, every tree, and all of the food for the feast. He even stole the roast beast! He would empty the houses one by one and he didn’t leave anything. Not even a crumb big enough for a mouse. So as he got done with emptying the houses and was about to dump everything over Crumpit he heard a noise, a weird

The film Elf (Berg et al., 2003) follows the adventures of Buddy, a human adopted into Elf culture, as he journeys from the North Pole to find his human father in New York City. As an orphan waiting to be adopted, Buddy was accidentally taken to the North Pole in Santa’s sack. Buddy grew up immersed in the Elf culture and way of life, and was not told of his human origins until he was well into adulthood. Upon learning this, Buddy travels to New York City to find his birth father Walter, a grinch-like publisher at a children’s book company. Unwelcomed by his father, Buddy befriends Walter’s son Michael and begins to make a life in New York, dating a shy, Elf-portraying department store employee named Jovie.

It takes much strength to do what they do to help Santa get presents to me and to you! So, Merry Christmas to all people, and Brownies and Elves, and to all those who think more of others than they do of themselves. “Merry Christmas,” from all the Brownies, who asked me to say, “Let Christmas live in your hearts every day!”

Santa and the elf named Sylvester, the village wizard, had just completed trying out and approving the new, hold everything, toy bag. Sly, Santa, the tailor, and some other elves loaded and unloaded the bag several times. Each time they had the same success as before, it worked great.

Elf (2003) is a Christmas movie and with saying that, people expect to see Christmas decorations, lights, music, and costumes to make the audience feel like it really is Christmas. In this scene of the film, you notice that it takes place in the mall and is completely decorated with Christmas decorations everywhere. Buddy has on his signature elf costume and the fake Santa has on a traditional Santa outfit. The scene itself screams Christmas and no one can argue that.

After living with Santa for years and years, he was no longer a human, but one of Santa's many elfs...and the tallest one at that.

1. “We laughed about all the kids who believed in the Santa myth and got nothing for Christmas but a bunch of cheap plastic toys. 'Years from now, when all the junk they got is broken and long forgotton,' Dad said,'you'll still have your stars.”

The Grinch Brittany Caruso The grinch is a rude, loud character who has a deep overwhelming hate for christmas due to his childhood trauma. After he ran away from whoville he moved to Mt. Crumpit with his dog, and only companion. The Grinch only leaves his cave to steal food, or bother other people.

Dear Santa, hey it’s your good pal Scar the one from the kingdom of Lion King. Animals think I am such a bad lion for killing Mufasa. Also for taking over his kingdom, finally for bringing hyenas into their kingdom.

Santa Claus is the one thing children believe in unfailingly. I mean, the exact gifts they want for Christmas always appear under the tree overnight, and for a child the only explanation is magic. But in today’s world of over parenting, the

I tried to avoid all things Elf on a Shelf, until my daughter started kindergarten and her teacher read them the Elf on a Shelf book and brought an elf into their classroom. The influence that this classroom elf had on my daughter was clearly strong and she often would mention it to me. Along with the frequent mentioning from my daughter I also saw many friends positing on social media of all the fun, creative ways they introduced their elves to their family and the daily picture post of what and where their elf was each day. I eventually gave in and we adopted an elf of our own.
