There is a huge difference between signs and symbols and many of these were seen in the movie Secondhand Lions. A sign is a physical thing, gibes a brief message, stands for something, and usually instructs someone about something. Examples of signs are warning signs, street signs, informations signs, open/closed signs of shops and restaurants, and many more. A symbol, on the other hand, is something that is visible but represents something invisible that is hard to put into words. It requires your interpretation and they affect how we feel. Examples of symbols are actions like hugs or hand shakes when someone passes away, objects like wedding rings to represent a couples love, a dove to express peace, and a cross to represent Christianity.

Soon afterwards the next day, Thomas Sams one of the students Clark expelled, begs Clark to let him back into the school.

At first Clark was skeptical, Sams was in trouble multiple of times for smoking crack, but after a dramatic lecture about the harm crack can do to a person he allows Sams back into the school. Under Clark’s heavy hand the school begins to undergo a transformation, the school walls were repainted and behavior of the students at the school were better. Only problem is when Clark made the students take a practice minimum basic skills exam, only 33% passed, the school needed 75% of their students to pass the test to not have the school be put in receivership.

A stereotypical teenager consists of always being moody, defiant, and never listening to a word their parents have to say. Dylan Mee was a stereotypical teenager. In the movie, We Bought a Zoo, Dylan Mee is a fourteen-year-old boy who has recently gone through a tremendous tragedy; the loss of his mother. With this loss, comes anger and sadness and with his hormones, comes defiance and irrational decisions. After becoming expelled from school, his father, Benjamin Mee believed that the best thing to do was to move out of the city; so, they did, to a property that contained a zoo. These changes have an enormous impact on Dylan’s psychosocial and cognitive development while in his adolescent stage.

This left the player temporarily blind in that eye, but after surgery he was able to regain his eyesight.

We bought a zoo is a family movie where a family consisting of a dad and two children buy a home that is also a zoo. The youngest daughter, Rosie tries to make situations seem better by making people laugh. An example of her doing this is when Dylan, the older kid and the dad, Benjamin Mee get into a fight and Benjamin says “We still a 7 year old that believes in the easter bunny.” Rosie comes out after the fight and says “what about the easter bunny?” I thought this was a good movie so you should check it out if you have the chance, Rosie was definitely one of my favorite

Animal kingdom (2010) is an Australian movie about a seventeen-year-old boy named Josh Cody who is immersed in a world of crime during the mid-1980’s. Due to the death of his mother Josh is left with no other option then to move in with his criminal relatives. Josh’s grandmother Janine (also referred to as ‘Smurf’) welcomes Josh to live with her and her three beloved sons, Andrew (Pope), Craig and Darren. Craig is a mid level drug dealer whilst Pope and his best friend Barry Brown (Baz) are armed robbers and are training the youngest of the three, Darren, to follow in their ways. Through engaging in consistent criminal activity Andrew has captured the attention of Melbourne’s Armed Robbery Squad. This situation is then quickly escalated into an all out war, as the authorities are responsible for the death of Barry. Which according to the director, David Michod, isn’t uncommon for the time period it is set in, having the movie supposedly based off a true story. The movie focuses on the effects of growing up in a world where criminal activity is apart of daily routine. Given this, the two key theories used to explain the family’s crime rate are Sutherlands differential association theory and General Strain Theory.

In the film Zootopia we see right off the back how a society is shown it may look happy on the outside but picture can be misleading. Although race plays a big part in the movie what I didn’t notice before reading Sir Thomas Moore’s Utopia was that it was much more than that. It was about the society and how people views never really change. Even though the predators and prey lived in peace for many year the prey still felt some way about the predators. Zootopia was very large but the people there had hidden resentment toward each other. This goes with the first quotes “They are generally more set on acquiring new kingdoms, right or wrong than on governing well those possess”. Zootopia full of tall beautiful building but the people there were still unhappy.

The film Zootopia, written and directed by Byron Howard and Rich Moore, follows the life of a small, yet spirited rabbit as she endures the trials angst of pursuing a profession as a big- city police officer. The city of Zootopia is a lively, thriving metropolis where Judy Hopps, the story’s protagonist, bravely embarks on her dream of pursuing a career in law enforcement. The writers employ a buoyant, kid-friendly storyline to comment on a myriad of social injustices and inequalities abounding in modern-day society. Feminist literary criticism utilizes feminist ethic and ideology to analyze the way in which male supremacy permeates the language and themes ingrained within literature. It allows readers to observe literature from a renewed, unorthodox perspective, and therefore extends the spectrum of accepted ideas and convictions. Zootopia is wrought with commentary on the pervasive presence of female oppression in the workforce. Oft beleaguered Judy Hopps combats disrespect and prejudice from her colleagues, condescension from her family and community, and gender bigotry that requires her to continuously prove herself as both a legitimate and qualified officer.
