The 90’s was an era full of amazing television series and animation shows that depicted a wide range of characters from a decent assortment of diverse backgrounds for the time. One of my favorite shows was the series Rugrats and it has some of the most memorable and recognizable characters on the planet. For this case study, I want to discuss Chuckie Finster. Chuckie is best known for being Tommy Pickles’ best friend, his crazy red hair, his big purple glasses, and for being the skittish older friend of the bunch who was always unsure of the world around them. Initially, this paper will focus on his reluctant and meticulous nature, then a deep analysis of Chuckie and his underlying problems will better help in attempting to find viable treatments that would potentially help Chuckie in the long term.

I think this will help me grow as an actor by making me step out of my comfort zone and be loose onstage. The challenges provided by the accent and text will help me grow since I’m not used to something so extreme. This monologue is a great opportunity to be this wacky character and make bold choices.

There were many differences between the story and movie of Freak the Mighty, however, the book was better for many reasons. One similarity between both was that the characters were the same in both. They all helped or hurt Max, which influenced his decisions in the book and movie. Even so, there are many significant differences. First of all, Kevin is Max’s tutor at the start of the movie. They do not meet the same way as in the book, which starts their friendship of differently. In the book, they meet in Kevin’s backyard over a shared interest in ornithopters.

From the day of their birth, people have the ideals of civility ingrained into their heads by society. However, if one were to remove the societal norms involved in one’s behavior, this civility would cease to exist. In the book The Lord of the Flies by William Golding, a group of young boys are stranded on an island when their plane crashes and their detachment from civilization begins to influence their behavior. In fact, soon after their arrival, the boys begin to descend into primitive ways. Their cognitive path is depicted through the life of one of the boys, Piggy.

It wasn't very difficult finding the voice in my novel as it is a first person story which includes many self written accounts from the main characters. The voice in my novel is provided by Cat and Joel who are the main characters. Each of them have very strong opinions about each other and feelings that they were not afraid to share throughout the story. Cat is slightly prejudice towards Joel and immediately labels him as a bad person due to their previous experiences together. Joel however, is not very sure of Cat at the beginning but slowly realizes that he most likely will not end up befriending Cat at all. Cat has a fear of losing her seemingly perfect family life while Joel has the fear of losing his mother to a no good boyfriend. This

Each stock character developed a distinct set of attributes such as characteristic speech, gestures, interaction with each other, props, masks and costumes - which became standard to the portrayal of their individual characters.

The Peanuts comic strips have been a motivation for other artist to create content, while bring an analytical philosophical aspect . Richard Greene along with many other authors suggest that the most influential part about the Peanuts comic strips is the ability to connect to the characters. Within Richard Greene’s book he talks about multiple philosophical topics are mentioned. For example the “rhapsody on the theme of Schroeder” and his love for Beethoven is similar to authors and their live for Schulz (Robison-Greene 53). Schulz was able to use Schroeder and his inspiration, Beethoven, as an analogy toward how authors that a creating content for others to view gto have the same passion. The Peanuts comic strips served as a positive influence toward the comic book industry. Greene makes the point that expresses the intention of the Peanuts comic strips (specifically Schroeder in this case), “music alone can serve as a vehicle for wild, creative joy and exuberance and expression of the human experience” (Robison-Greene 56). Schroder gives a positive reinforcement while showing ome as young as he is could look up to such a popular icon, which directly translates to the positive influence that the Peanuts comic as a whole serves as an inspiration towards other comic book artists. Friedrich Nietzsche makes a comparison with Schroeder and the outside world by saying people “prefer to follow paths in life that have been carved out for them by others” (Nietzsche 56). Every character has their own personal purpose which makes them different from the other characters, with a philosophical aspect that can relate to the reader. To analyse what makes the Peanuts comic strips influential to other comic book creators is to analyse the characters and the purpose they serve. Charlie Brown, according to Daniel Leonard has the personality type of wishy-washyness” (Leonard 15). Richard Greene makes the point about how even though the Peanuts comic are usually funny and light hearted it can have some serious content. With Charlie Brown he represents a mistreated boy who is always pushed around by his “friends”. What Megane Brennan says is “how there is an overwhelming sense of optimism in how Charlie Brown keeps on trying”

Before the death of Lexa, the 100 inspired my friends and I by characters that showed us that we can do anything we wanted. The determined and strong-willed characters conveyed in the show express that one can be who they want to be in this world, regardless of what obstacles lie in the way, they can still be themselves. A strong leader, a brave warrior, and a great thinker, Lexa was the embodiment of who I would want to be in a world like theirs.

Storytelling as previously stated is what drives me at the core of animation, and powerful storytellers are the greatest fuel to that fire. The one man who has pushed me the most in this regard is the masterful Hayao Miyazaki, whose work not only profoundly inspires me in my work but has time and time again revived me at my core. He’s a master of action and adventure, sending the audience through roaring sequences of high stakes and insurmountable odds. At the same time his work exhibits a delicate and thoughtful touch, creating richly crafted worlds and genuine characters. His most powerful moments, I feel, have been those of quiet reflection and intoxicating atmosphere—something between a fever dream a warm embrace that I've never seen equaled.
