In Finding Nemo, the two characters the movie is about are very special. In a way, I can connect with the character Nemo because our parents are similar. Marlin, Nemo's dad, is overprotective and doesn't want to let his son go. Marlin has good reason to want to be overprotective as well though, considering the tragic loss he went through at the beginning of the movie, losing his wife and all of his kids except for one. I understand why Nemo is so upset about his dad not letting him do anything because

“A remarkable work, awesome in its conception and execution… at one and the same time a novel, a documentary, a memoir, and a comic book. Brilliant, just brilliant.” -Jules Feiffer (1) This is a commentary by Jules Feiffer about “Maus”, which is a survivor’s tale created by Art Spiegelman. As you can see from the commentary, this is a wonderful story, not only its the writing but also the art.

Thousand Leagues Under the Sea Some time ago, I decided to read Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea, by Jules Verne. I figured that because it was so well known it must be an extremely interesting book. In addition, it was science fiction, the one area that I was always interested.

"Giselle" is a romantic ballet choreographed by Jean Coralli and Jules Perrot. Adolphe Adam beautifully composes the music. This ballet was originally performed in Paris in 1841. The production that we viewed in class was from La Salla. "Giselle" is one of the last ballets of the Romantic era.
