The Bear Documentary Analysis

From the beginning to the end, A Bear Called Paddington, by Michael Bond, crafted a humorous tale for readers and listeners within the ages of six through eleven. Bantam Doubleday Dell Books published this story, which is a division of Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group, Inc. Michael Bond formed the copyright information on October, 13 1958. The film on the other hand is called Paddington and was produced by David Heyman, while directed by Paul King. It is rated PG and was released in 2014. After reading the book and watching the film, the literary work created by Michael Bond was not fully addressed in the film. The film created new adaptions that I do not think were successful. When comparing the content of the book to the film, aspects of the book can be found within the film, but many are changed or altered. The film not only changed main events in the story, but they also changed most of the main characters personalities and added/deleted characters, which in the end changed the overall plot of the story.

The movie, Secondhand Lions, is the story of a young boy (Walter) who is dropped off at the home of his two elderly uncles (Uncle Hub and Uncle Garth) by his single mother. There are rumors surrounding Uncle Hub and Uncle Garth’s past lives and speculation that they have millions of dollars hidden on their land. Relatives and strangers hope to find or inherit some of the cash. Both uncles are reluctant to have Walter at their home and view him as a nuisance. Uncle Garth beings to tell Walter tails of him and Hub’s adventures as young men serving in the French Foreign Lesion during World War I. Uncle Hub is a wild character, who seems to be desperately trying to hold onto his youth and prove that he is still as strong and capable as ever.

The important thing in the reader response theory is the interpretive of the readers itself, rather than the author or even the text. The theory gives the competence to the reader to critic the text, however with the condition the readers have the evidence or research from other people toward the critic. The way of their interpretation may reveal their identity, because the reader gives the critic depends on their knowledge and experience (Philip Goldstein, 2005). Everyone has their own perspective toward anything, especially for the literary works. Each of people perspective is unique. That is why reader response was created. The theory is about the transaction between the writer and the reader. The writer composed a meaningful text, whereas the reader composed an interpreted meaning of the text. Reader response is not about destroying the writer’s idea, but it is more constructing the work itself (Louise M. Rosenblatt, 1988).

In E.K Johnston’s Exit, Pursued by a Bear, Hermione Winters was sexually assaulted at a cheerleading camp party. This is a huge problem for Hermione because it affects her entire life and she has many problems to deal with as a result. She overcomes this event by getting help and support. The help and support she gets is mostly from her best friend and her parents. Her mother supported her decisions and helped her through the entire event. Her mother is educated and knows where to go to get help. Not only does she overcome this event but she also overcomes her negative feelings and thoughts. Parents who want to educate their kids on sexual assault and rape should read E.K Johnston’s Exit, Pursued by a Bear because it informs parents on their role before and after a traumatic event through education and unconditional love.

Glancy uses Pushing the Bear to contextualize concrete history. She frames the reality of the Trail of Tears using fictional accounts from multiple narrators, while also integrating historical lists and documents into her story. Pushing the Bear is unique because it tells a history through so many perspectives. Each is relatively short, and the reader is often thrown without transition from one narrator to the next. This technique creates a unique historiography because of its ability to address historical context of a large group as opposed to an individual. By giving all participants of the Trail of Tears a voice, Glancy tells a more “true” history than one ever could using a single narrator account of history. Glancy includes many bills

Book by James Lapine was a great story overall. I truly enjoyed watching the show especially when the Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim played perfectly during the show. Director Eve Himmelheber was able to put out a such an amazing show. I really enjoyed watching Into The Woods because it was colorful, every character was really great with their role, and so much more. I could not be more amazed of how beautiful the production came out. Musical Director Mitchell Hanlon was really great with every musical that played throughout the show. He was always in time of making the sound when a character would kick the floor or any action that was necessary during the play. Scenic Designer Mauri Anne Smith and Ashley Strain created such an amazing setting for the production. The scene looked very realistic, which is really great because it gave me a different feel of the show. Costume Designer Michelle Kincaid created such beautiful costumes for every single character. Whether the costumes were bought, hand made, or both it still came out pretty good. The costume definitely matched the theme of having several characters from different show. Lighting Designer Ben Hawkins made the interior and

“The Bear,” by Tom Lombardi, is about of a husband and wife. While reading the story you start to understand that Gary, the husband, doesn’t seem to care to much about his wife, Lois. Gary doesn’t seem to even care about Lois. Gary was very unsensitive when it comes to things. In the story, while they are in the woods, Gary tells Lois to pay attention to bears, if she sees a bear, she should not be scared, but don’t be stupid. While Lois went to use the restroom one time, she encountered a bear. However, during this time, she felt that the bear was communicating with her. In the story, Lois talked about the bears puppy-like eyes and that the bear rolled over and showed his belly. In a way, this made Lois trust the bear and not to fear the bear. The bear tells Lois that he has seen Lois and Gary together making love and he

Werner Herzog directed a documentary film called Grizzly Man to show viewers how much interest Timothy Treadwell demonstrated towards human nature and how he demonstrates human nature through himself. Timothy Treadwell spent thirteen long summers in Alaskan Peninsula. He went to go portray his love and protection to the wild life and grizzly bears, which lead him to his miserable death. Herzog creates a sequence of scenes, comments, and interviews from people who is well connected directly or indirectly with Treadwell. His purpose of directing the Grizzly Man documentary through Treadwell’s own film was to convey the viewers the difference of human beings and the wild life animals. Herzog’s main effective argument was to convey how courageous and how insane Treadwell was to spend thirteen summers in the wild life of grizzly bears.

If i were filming or writing a documentary, I will film about Koalas. Did you know that Koalas are not bears, but their nickname is a native bear? They are very interesting animals and have many interesting facts to their population. I would love to see how they interact with each other. I also just recently found out that Koalas carry around the Chlamydia STD. It can also be passed to a human. Frankly, Koala’s don’t care where they urinate. While people love picking them up you better be careful. The disease can possibly being transferred through the koala’s urine. Koalas live only in Eucalyptus trees, because its hot, dry, and light. The only problem with this is people keep cutting down trees in the forests so Koalas are losing their homes

Animal Asia Foundation’s short video “End Bear Farming” (2001) demonstrates how most bears in China, especially moon bears, are suffering. These animals endure extreme level of pain in environments where many diseases can develop through immoral and disgusting actions such as bear bile extraction from living bears without anesthetics. In recent articles Ryunosuke Kikuchi, IK Loeffler, J Robinson and G Cochrane have offered harsh critiques encouraging people to stop this cruel action. There are some images in “Compromised Health and Welfare of Bears Farmed for Bile in China” (Loeffler, Robinson and Cochrane 228-229) and text which show the method of bile extraction. Bears typically suffer chronic physical and psychological torture, even death (Loeffler,

This documentary tells the story of brothers Clifford and Jeffrey Azize as they travel the world, during their travels they slowly learn what it truly means to be human. These brothers embark on a journey to New York and live on the streets for a week. This film prompted me to think about how self centered and short sighted most humans are. If a person sees a hungry dog on the side of the road they will likely feed it, maybe even take it home, but if someone sees a homeless person on the side of the street they will most likely just ignore them. This aspect of human nature is something that really makes me upset because as humans it's in our best interest to help each other survive and thrive, but most people won't even try to understand the

The film Bears Discover Fire written by Terry Bisson is a film that was produced by college students. This film covers many different controversial topics. The book allows for many different perceptions of these topics to be seen.. Although the title of the film has a scientific feeling, it is more of a fantasy than a science fiction film. In the film “Bears Discover fire” one may interpret the movie as more of a fantasy film, with that being said the elements of a fantasy story base line can be perceived in a much bigger picture.

There is a personal interest in this company as they just recently ended their contract with Busch Stadium, which is my place of employment. Build-a-Bear was able to negotiate a year by year agreement and a possible sponsorship with the St. Louis Cardinals, LLC for the future and this is what sparked my interest in the company their financial security.
