The Simple Minded Or Not?

“No matter what kind of person you are, I implore you: try. Try to make the world a better place. Look inside yourself and recognize that change starts with you” - Judy Hopps. The Disney movie, Zootopia, explains a society of animals where all the prey and predators get along together nicely. Judy Hopps, a rabbit, has always wanted to be a cop her whole life, but her parents want her to stay on the carrot farm to become a carrot farmer just like all of the other bunnies. After a lot of determination, Judy becomes the first prey/rabbit cop and moves to the city of Zootopia. The head officer explains that nine animals, prey and predators, throughout the four Zootopia zones had gone missing. Determined to prove her spot as a cop, Judy jumps at the opportunity to solve the mysterious cases. Judy went out trying to solve the cases with a mischievous fox to figure out what happened to the missing animals. Zootopia is a great modern day example of transcendentalism as it displays examples of nonconformity and confidence.

In the story "The Chrysanthemums," by John Steinbeck, imagery is important in the development of his characters. The man who drives the wagon and fixes things is a perfect example of imagery. "His worn black suit was wrinkled and spotted with grease. The laughter had disappeared from his face and eyes the moment his laughing voice ceased. His eyes were dark, and they were full of the

Right near the beginning of the story, the instance of imagery is found. One example, an unbroken front of snarled and ragged jungle fringed the shore (Connell 20), is a phenomenal use of imagery, as it creates a vivid image in the reader’s mind. Richard Connell does an adequate job of conjuring thoughts of a thick, wild, and scary jungle just beckoning for someone to come in. The river of glaring gold light that poured out (Connell 20) is a powerful use of imagery, as it uses descriptors such as glaring, gold, and poured. Connell almost makes it seem like the light materialized as it came out of the door, which makes it very interesting to read and picture. The author was very efficient in his use of imagery because the descriptors painted a very clear picture. Imagery is just the icing on the cake because it adds so much quality and description to the

Imagery is used tons throughout the book. Jonathan Edwards uses a lot of imagery to get his point across and to make it as vivid as possible to almost be seen and imagined by the readers . His attitude towards sinners is that you have to stop sinning and repent from your sins or you're going to burn in hell. Edwards tries to scare them by

Without imagery in “The Most Dangerous Game,” the setting wouldn’t be nearly as powerful. The imagery allows readers to better understand how difficult it is for Rainsford to navigate the terrain. At the beginning of the story, the narrator uses imagery to describe the island: “dense jungle came down to the very edge of the cliffs. What perils that tangle of trees and underbrush might hold for him did not concern Rainsford just Then” (Connell). The imagery is very effective in this scene because the narrator uses words such as “dense” and “tangle,” which clearly illustrate how hard it is to navigate the terrain. The imagery also allows readers to picture General Zaroff’s mansion. The narrator describes what Rainsford sees when he comes across the mansion: “but as he forged along he saw to his great astonishment that all the lights were in one enormous building--a lofty structure with pointed towers plunging upward into the gloom. His eyes made out the shadowy outlines of a palatial chateau; it was set on a high bluff, and on three sides of it cliffs dived down to where the sea licked greedy lips in the shadows” (Connell). By using words such as “lofty” and “enormous,” readers are better able to picture what the mansion looks like. Therefore, imagery is one of the reasons why “The Most Dangerous Game” is a successful short story because it enables readers to picture the setting, which is very important to the plot.

Imagery is one of the components that were used by Edwards to make his story more persuasive. As the short story begins, the first sentence was an example of imagery. Edwards wrote when men are on God’s hands and they could fall to hell. “…natural men are held in the hands of God, over the pit of hell…” Knowing that you might fall into hell at any moment should scare you. God decided to save you until he wants to let you fall into an eternity of burning

Firstly, Ray Bradbury uses imagery to reveal how people may change because of the new technological advances in society all around them. Bradbury also explains how imagery is

This emphasizes the description and adds to the gloomy tenor of the passage. This also allows the reader to better visualize the dreadful landscape of Oceania. Secondly, the use of imagery contributes tremendously to the visual appeal in 1984. Imagery is defined as “Visually descriptive or figurative language” (Oxford Dictionary).

When Chris Crutcher decides to use imagery it is often very detailed. He takes the time to describe what these characters are seeing and feeling. Chris wants to make sure that the readers can see every situation, feel the weight of every decision, and feel the pain of the characters. Imagery is a very helpful tool to help Chris’ ideas really jump off the page and into your head. Some of these scenes of imagery include a little girl scrubbing off her skin using a brillo pad, and a character's father

The author uses imagery to interest the reader in her story that may seem mundane without the imagery. An example of this happening is when Jeannette is going to her new school in Welch it was her first day and the teacher picks on her because she did not have to give the school her records to her not having them as that is happening a tall girl stabs her out of nowhere“I felt something sharp and painful between my shoulder blades and turned around. The tall black girl with the almond eyes was sitting at the desk behind me.

Imagery in In Cold Blood describes a deeper meaning from Perry Smith to Nancy’s diary, there are different types of imagery to convey different messages. From auditory imagery to Visual imagery, even though there are different types of imagery, the one that is the most present in the book would have to be visual imagery. Imagery is the use of words that can effectively convey an image using different senses to convey the same or different ideas. I think Capote wrote this novel to give some insight on the criminal mind.

Imagery is any piece of language that provokes the readers mind to form a mental picture or image.

Most people think of small animals, such as sheep, as meek and submissive due to their frequent portrayal as innocent characters in children’s stories and folklore; in these same stories, antagonistic characters tend to be fiercer animals such as lions or wolves. However, the children’s movie Zootopia, in which all characters are mammals, shows that this is not always the case. The characters in this film break the stereotypes against them by being different or the opposite of what the audience expects based on their species or occupation within the film. For instance, Judy Hopps solves the case on the missing mammals and why they went savage despite being a “dumb bunny”, and Nick Wilde turns from a sly con artist to the first fox cop. This

It is no surprise people enjoy stories of overcoming the odds. This is why both children and adults love the movie Zootopia. Walt Disney’s Zootopia is a heartwarming story on its own, but when it is analyzed, the movie has deeper meaning and lessons to learn. Zootopia not only has many post-colonial aspects that explain the mammals’ way of life, but it displays psychoanalytic tendencies about how the main characters childhoods affected them later in life.

Traditionally, animated films have been made for and consumed by children, with the plotlines and themes being relatively basic and forthright. However, recent years have seen the release of animated films that explore significantly more adult themes and thought provoking ideas. Perhaps the most confronting example of adult themes in an animated film is in 2016’s ‘Zootopia’. The film forces viewers to think about concepts such as racial segregation, nature vs. nurture and the debilitating effect of stereotyping. Although Zootopia features anthropomorphic animals, it is easy to draw a connection between the film’s prey vs. predator narrative and racial divide in our own society.
