Ever since movies had started becoming popular, film adaptations have failed to live up to their book counterparts. Although there are exceptions, both critics and the general audience alike have given film adaptations the cold shoulder. A Clockwork Orange is an exception. Originally published as a novel by Anthony Burgess in 1962, A Clockwork Orange sets out to show the mind and workings of an extremely violent teenager in a futuristic dystopian society. Director, producer, and screenwriter, Stanley

that was never hers to call home anyways. She knew remembering that marvelous land of magic and mayhem was almost as fruitless as remembering him and all he had taught her there. She knew dreaming about him would only lead to heartbreak. After all, Wendy Darling wasn’t a little girl anymore. She hadn’t been thirteen for quite some time, and though her father would never say it to her face, a girl of age nineteen had no business still believing in made up stories. The good doctor back home convinced

an interesting phrase used in Suzanne Berger’s “The Meal” to describe the state of the children. Berger’s “The Meal” along with Alice Walker’s “Everyday Use” and Wendy Wasserstein’s Workout use carefully selected words, tone and imagery to portray a pertinent theme of deception in appearances. Suzanne Berger, Alice Walker, and Wendy Wasserstein all have some sort of family relationship and the woman of the family seems to bear the troubles and struggle. Throughout their literary works these problems

of all hope. Their whole system had officially ended. In Peter Pan a significant symbol is that of the kiss and thimble. Wendy gives Peter a “kiss”, which is actually a thimble, out of her newfound affection for him. Peter, however, doesn’t realize the significance of it, and naturally gives her an acorn in return. This act of giving “kisses” is only seen as significant to Wendy at the time. Later, when the acorn saves Wendy’s life, Peter grasps the importance of it. This exchanging of “kisses” is

Age Is Only a Number In J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, young Wendy Darling and twelve year old John Darling, along with Peter Pan, learn that maturity is not shown by age, but by attitude, as seen by Wendy’s motherlike attitude, John’s fighting spirit and decision making, and Peter’s immaturity at times even though he is older. Wendy uses her attitude to help raise the Lost Boys and give them the mother they need. John’s headstrong attitude helps immensely in the fight against Captain James Hook, as he

“Oh… Boo. I’ll be right back.” “I’ll be right here.” Garrett laughed nervously. When Wendy was a fair distance away, he whispered: “I love you.” “Look at you two, getting all romantic at the fair.” Garrett saw Rachel appear with a huge cone of candy floss in each hand. “Come on, it’s no big deal.” “Yeah it is!” “Ok, you’re right, it is

about the interesting adventures of Peter Pan, Wendy, Michael, and John. Peter Pan is my favorite charecter. He is a free spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows up. Peter Pan spends his never-ending adventures in Neverland, he is the leader of the lost

example of this from the book is when Tink treats Wendy offensively by calling her ugly: “ He had to translate. ‘ She is not very polite. She says you are a great ugly girl, and that she is my fairy’” (Barrie 27). Tinker Bell is shown to be uncivil and boorish towards Wendy by calling her ugly. As a perfect antagonist, she creates tension and suspense in the story with her threats towards Wendy. Without remorse, Tink doesn’t even apologize to Wendy. With this type of behavior, she shows her nasty

contradicts this belief by saying that parents need to discipline their children if they really love them. In his short story, “The Veldt,” he builds upon this statement by creating a story around two permissive parents, Lydia and George, and their kids, Wendy and Peter. The parent’s intentions were to make their children happy, but in the end, all of their pampering only caused the children to turn out impolite and churlish towards their parents. Thus, through the use of irony, allusion, and symbolism,

catch the boy. She barely remembers this boy from stories told when she was younger. When Peter returns for his shadow when the parents are away, he mistakenly awakes Wendy. He tells Wendy about Neverland and the Lost Boys, who happen to be young babies in which had fallen out of their carriages and were sadly never found again. Wendy along with her brothers fly with Peter to Neverland,
