Assignment 2 – Gorgeous George blows fans away Royals or readable? Introduction Photojournalism is used to represent a news story through a singular/series of images. The images are selected to depict both content and tone, acting as an anchor to the event/story. An anchor is used to provide stability or confidence in an otherwise uncertain situation, it narrows down the obtainable readings that can be made on an image. On the 8th of April 2014 the Dominon post printed and dispatched this front

Descriptive The picture books are spread out across the table, with their vibrant colors and hard covers. I take in all of the new books that I received for my 7th birthday. I feel the pages as I turn them in my hand one after another, taking in the fresh new book smell. This book is titled, The Little Mermaid, and I can’t wait to hear it at bedtime, once the sun goes down. This book will be added to my collection, and sit beside the others all in a row on my pink bookcase, where I know each

reading the novel, “Dealing with Dragons”, by Patricia C. Wrede, one could ask if someone like Cimorene, a princess in the story, should be justified if they go against what expectations are made of them and why that should ever be approved of. However, Cimorene was completely justified in ignoring the social norms of her day because it is very clear that she was never content with being a princess in that kingdom, she was only truly happy in living an “improper” life away from her heredity, and she

In the novel, Dealing With Dragons, by Patricia C. Wrede, Princess Cimorene was justified in dismissing the social standards of her day because in the novel, she escapes from her previous life as a proper princess, to soon enjoy her new life as princess to the King of Dragons, as well as saving their kind from corruption by the dragon, Woraug, and the wizards. At the beginning of the novel, Cimorene is shown disregarding the activities that her parents allow her to do. The activities chosen for

Orenstein does everything within her radius to enunciate on the topic of gender stereotypes. She begins the novel by describing the classic Disney Princesses and her daughter’s (Daisy) perspective towards the dresses. Every child wants to have the “real princess dress (page 3)” but that is where Orenstein wants to draw the line. She wants Daisy to live her life the way she wants to, but that does not mean she has to live up to an imaginary expectation bar. This draws back to the purpose of children, regardless

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

Recently, I have seen more and more moms protest against Disney Princess movies because they deem them to be harmful to their daughter’s self-esteem. People are trying to deem Princess movies as sexist and racist which I don’t think they are. The purpose of Princess movies are to teach young girls and boys valuable lessons like love conquers all and it’s a way to entertain your kids. As of lately, princesses have been under heat for teaching young girls to rely on men for everything, which I don’t

of media is inevitable. Disney’s princess movies have brought significant effects to children’s development of their identities. There are three main stages of Disney movies. The first stage is the “princess” stage, where the movie depicts the most stereotypes (i.e. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs). The second stage is the “rebellious” stage, where the princesses are illustrated as curious and adventurous, yet still show the aspect of female stereotypes (i.e. Jasmine in Aladdin). The third stage is
