they I knew how to use one. Every year my school does a Halloween festival. Students dress up as anything they want to be whether it’s a princess, witch, superhero, etc. There are many stations where you can get candy and there is even a haunted house or should I say a haunted class. Like every other 5-year-old girl I wanted to be a princess. 2 weeks before the festival my mom and I went to find my costume. We enter to this store where there were many costumes. As I walk in I saw a beautiful

Many young children dream of living in a castle. A castle is a key part of many fairy tales, whether they have a princess locked up in a tower, a terrible dragon inside which must be defeated, or the castle is the home where a royal family resides. In Wednesdays in the Tower, by Jessica Day George, the royal family indeed lives in a castle. They do not live in just any castle; their castle is for lack of a better word; alive. The book, Wednesdays in the Tower, is another book that fits into several

personality and emotions. Frozen broke free from the Disney and societal conventions in many ways. For example, as I stated earlier the main theme of the film was sisterly love; in fact the plot of the film is not resolved by true loves kiss like most Princess movies, such as, the modern Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. The act of true love is expressed by Elsa towards her sister Ana when she is freezing to death. On the other hand, some say that the plot would not have occurred if it were not for the classic

When Disney comes to mind we tend to think “A magical kingdom where wishes come true”. Along with the characters that Disney so remarkable. For many who grew up watching Disney films know the magic and sentimental feelings Disney films convey to the viewers. Disney has become extremely popular that it has gone world-wide. It is no surprise, since these films are filled with meaning, are family orientated, and end with a happily ever after. Who would not want a happily ever after? Disney has created

princesses are the “Original Disney Princesses” :(in chronological order) Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, and Mulan. Snow White: The first Disney princess is Snow White. She is in the movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs; which aired in 1937. The Movie is about a Young beautiful princess who is sent in the forest to be killed, orders by her evil mother, the queen, because she is unhappy that she isn’t the “fairest in the land”. While wandering in the forest she finds

girls of all ages enjoying them. The reasons as to why they appeal to all ages ranges between many things. The female population tends to like princesses because they can relate to them, sometimes a Prince Charming happens to be involved, and each princess has a different story to tell and lessons to teach. If you put all of these things together, it gives off why princesses serve as a popular character today. The reason being, princesses teach girls to be themselves, to be strong and independent as

result, oftentimes young girls strongly identify with princess culture and even into adulthood we not only blindly seek our own “happily ever after” but we assume that girls innately love princesses, dress up, and anything magical, making children even more susceptible to gender stereotypes. Many of the “classic” Disney movies spend a great portion of their screen time painting its leading female character as a damsel in distress. This princess culture suggests that despite other defining characteristics

Difference In the movie Brave, Merida goes against tradition by not marrying a price. This upsets her mother, Queen Elinor who believes that Merida should marry into one of the other clans. Merida is a tomboyish girl who is far from being a "proper" princess that we would see in other Disney movies. To her mother's disapproval, Merida wants nothing more but to be a regular girl. Queen Elinor is an uptight queen who believes heavily in tradition, she wishes for Merida to act like she would. While Merida

typically in the kimono-like hanfu, which makes her miserable in the movie, rather than her liberated warrior’s gear. Unfortunately the warrior’s gear is not as pleasing to the eye. Instead it is bulky and manly, neither of which a desired trait for a princess (Hurley). More often than not, princesses are portrayed as feminine and dainty, interested only in clothes, jewellery, and seducing the handsome prince. These are not ideal traits to be teaching children, yet we expose them to media reinforcing

reality and that is why these depictions seem to be engraved in their memories. Do Rozario (2004) also said, “By 1959 and the release of Sleeping Beauty, the three good fairies give up their magic wands for housework in order to protect and conceal Princess Aurora from the evil fairy, Malificent (who has failed to consider that these three might give up the convenience of magic to live in a peasant cottage).” (para. 11). In the Sleeping Beauty, all that children see is how a lady from a high social
