Shrek

Odysseus versus (Shrek the Movie Character) The Odyssey is a historical book, written by Homer, about a hero who was lost and he had to face many obstacles to make it back home. Shrek is an older movie, directed by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson, which is about an Ogre who has to rescue a princess to get his swamp back. To be considered a hero, the character has to be charged with a quest, a presence of mythical beings, and a low point where the character nearly gives up. I think that Shrek…

a few years ago. This particular sign caught my eye because I was curious as to why an entire floor of people would choose a 2001 children’s animated movie to represent them in a public area for an indeterminate amount of time. I believe that the Shrek painting is a perfect example of a social media meme. According to Little (2014), “Internet memes—images that spread from person to person through reposting—often adopt the tactics of “detournement” or misappropriation used by the French…

In this short, a horse and a donkey go on a wild chase after a rabbit and a racoon steal the horses’ bushy, black tail. For the most part, the story gets distracted by jump cutting to live-action sequences of the music recording session. As someone who loves working with music and sound, this movie appealed to me as soon as the chase started. The reason is that I believe the music constitutes the actual pace. For instance, each character in the chasing sequences was clearly shot in twos for…

My mind takes me back to a moment of thrill and adventure. The experience began early in the morning. At the crack of dawn, our truck was packed and ready to go. Many hours on the road and a few stops along the way, we finally arrive at Magic Mountain. Magic Mountain was an exciting adventure because of the amusement rides, creepy characters, and the many gift shops. My favorite amusement ride is the Justice League Hall of Fame. This attraction has a 3d laser shooter. On this ride, you are…

Halloween is the only day of the year when wearing a scary costume, asking strangers for food, and scaring people is acceptable. Being a clown would be the best Halloween costume, even though it would be more tricks than treats. To the regular eye clowns seem cute and funny, but some see the real truth behind them. Clowns are sinister. A clown is one of the most scary things, making it the perfect Halloween costume. Clowns are real, unlike monsters or zombies. Clowns are at birthday parties,…

When Sedaris finally finds himself taking his Mother’s advice to check himself, the one thing that distracts him from this self-reflection is the television. For example, when he says “here is a boy sitting on a bed, his mouth smeared with chocolate. He's a human being, but also he's a pig, surrounded by trash and gorging himself so that others may be denied. Were this the only image in the world, you'd be forced to give it your full attention, but fortunately there were others. This stagecoach,…

The Wizard of Oz-Expository #3 The cowardly lion is a great example of a dynamic character in The Wizard of Oz written by L. Frank Baum. Dynamic characters such as the lion experience a drastic change as the story plays out. When the cowardly lion is first introduced to the plot he tries to scare Dorothy, the scarecrow, and the tinman by jumping out of the forest but to his dismay he was just as scared of them as they were him. He is truly terrified of anything and everything. Which leads to his…

5 reasons why Bronies need to stop So to start off I will explain, to those of you who do not know, what a Brony is. A Brony is an adult male who indulges himself into the My Little Pony franchise, specifically the Friendship is Magic story arc. You are probably thinking that, “Oh it's not that big of a deal, they like a children's show, so what?” and I'm glad that you are thinking like that because we as humans like to express ourselves and it's great that you aren't automatically assuming…

mechanism in which a sexual or aggressive impulse is shifted to a more acceptable object. Donkey was upset that Shrek was always nice and friendly with Puss In Boots. Yet he was always mean and rude to donkey. Instead of dealing and talking about it to Shrek, Donkey takes his aggression out toward Puss in boots. He hates him and does not trust him. It is defined as a negative out look on life. Shrek throughout the movie shows a negative outlook towards life. He is always mean to other…

but it takes a lot of courage. Especially the musical "Shrek Jr." I was in. First of all, I had to try out to even be in the show. It was literally a room filled with people judging me. Secondly, I had a terrifying allergic reaction to strawberries right before the show. Lastly, I had to perform in front of a live crowd. The crowd was gigantic and the worse part is that they were all paying attention to me! Therefore, Being in the musical “Shrek Jr.” was a very courageous act that I have…
