are the evil villains trying to take over the land (442). Good looking characters such as the toned and “tall dark and handsome” Batman are out to do well in the world (442). An “uncommon gambit” in the subject of “Heroes and Villains” is Shrek (442). Shrek goes against the mold of the…

With the help of contemporary media, women are finding better role models to teach them and their children that women can be independent. In the television show, Once Upon a Time, the novel series, The Lunar Chronicles, and the movie, Shrek, women have gained power and are not as dependent on men to save them; however, Shrek’s female protagonist, Fiona, most clearly defies the gender expectations. In Mark Mylod’s television series, Once Upon a Time, the characters of Emma Swan and Regina…

Courtly Love in The Canterbury Tales Courtly love can be described as a medieval conception of love that emphasizes nobility and chivalry. “The Wife of Bath’s Tale” from Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales depicts some criteria necessary for true courtly love; however, not in a traditional sense. This allows us to compare it to today’s society, since courtly love still exists, but in a non-traditional way mainly through media instead of actual relationships. The media is perhaps one of the…

Some animals, like dogs and cats, can develop special relationships between each other. Animals have an instinct to look after each, like a dog looking after a baby squirrel if it fell out of it's nest. There are many other essences too, like how a red bird might take care of a baby blue bird. A dog that just had a litter of puppies just might take care of some kittens. The animals have the proclivity to care and nurture each other. In passage one the lions stick together because while one…

These kids are not raising families on their income, it’s just some extra spending cash that would just go towards gas, clothes and food. “They are better educated than younger minimum-wage workers but still have less education than the population as a whole” (Shrek) People over 25 bagging groceries are the people who only finished high…

Literature is a language in itself. Understanding that language allows the reader to fully appreciate the work at hand. After all, the grammar of literature is "a set of conventions and patterns, codes and rules, that we learn to employ in dealing with a piece of writing" (Foster xii). Memories of past stories, seeing symbols in the writing, and pattern recognition play important roles when reading a book. Pattern recognition in literature can help the reader decipher texts that would otherwise…

Even after all the things Quixote has put Sancho through, releasing criminals only to get beaten, stealing from innocents, and fighting windmills, to name a few Sancho has always been by Quixote's side. They can be related to Shrek and Donkey from the Shrek series, and to Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson from the Sherlock Holmes series. When the protagonist is at a low point it is the foil's job to bring them back and do their job of basically being the best friend and defend them. Like Sancho…

the better of the two. Pixar is the better animation studio because they are known for many box office hits like Up, Toy Story, and Monsters Inc. Although hits are all DreamWorks produces, they have only won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature for Shrek and Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Pixar has won "…Best Animated Feature Oscar seven of the past 12 years" (Hollywood). This gives Pixar a huge advantage over DreamWorks in the terms of each studios' success. DreamWorks and Pixar…

come out with a handful of friends. After watching so many movies and discussing them afterwards, it’s easy to notice a pattern. In order to strengthen my case and prove what I was observing, I studied a handful of movies that ranged from E.T. to Shrek. The common trend I noticed amongst the movies now and in the past were a lack of diversity amongst the cast which could easily be fixed with more background knowledge on the topic and wiser choices when picking actors and actresses. If you do not…
