Disney's Silly Symphony: The Three Little Pigs

Decent Essays
The truth of who you really are became a fallacy to the ears of many young minds, including mine. Implanted since I was a young child, you were always portrayed as the “Big Bad Wolf” who treated the three little pigs as delicious prey rather than a friendly neighbor who wanted to be more than an acquaintance. I question the reasons why you would let the media tarnish your name in such an evil manner. From Walt Disney creating a cartoon short called “Disney’s Silly Symphony: The Three Little Pigs” to Roald Dahl writing the story “The Three Little Pigs”, these two forms of art made me ask these three questions, why did you eat the pigs, even though you just wanted a cup of sugar? Were you also the same wolf who attack a little girl named Little

    In the article Why You Should Stop Drinking Milk, wrote by a student studying Public Relations at the University of Texas, Leonor Martins’ main focus is to warn her readers on not only the harm dairy milk does to the human body, but also the maltreatment of the producing cows. The emphasis on the health concerns pertaining to ingredients found in dairy milk and the mistreatment of the farm cattle is organized into a distressing warning. It seems that the audiences that Ms. Martins is targeting are health conscious consumers and animal right activists that might get just as shocked by the topic. At first, attention is attained with the use of buzzwords and style that conveys a disturbing caution towards dairy milk drinkers.…

    Crash Coogan is the 3rd most monstrous, TRIBEless shell of a person after I have read a book on. This is behind a rapist and a woman who killed her niece, daughter, and large sections of her dominion’s population. The reason that he is barely behind these savages, is the large amounts of horrible actions he does to the decent people of his middle school. Although, at least, Coogan only affected a few with this behavior.…

    Stephen Strauss’, “Feeding Monsters with our Young” really targets the use of variety in sentence length, emotional appeal, and repetition to emotionally engage his audience. First of all, using a variety of sentence length allows for a better connection with the audience. This correlates with the stories theme, and helps to emphasize on aids not being as bad as society perceives them. Including short sentences like, “What sadness?”(11) brings out the emotional effect within his audience that Stephen Strauss is trying to imply. Next, using a stylistic device like emotional appeal helps to emotionally engage the audience by comparing aids with “Children in the school who were sexually abused by their parents”(14).…

    Not every opinion within our heads is original often we hear or read something that is the opinion of someone else and incorporate it. The worst thing to do when analyzing your opinion is to follow another’s for verbatim. When an individual adopts another’s belief on a subject their actions become untrue to that person’s fundamental character. In “The Fly” by Karl Shapiro, the author cautiously manipulates different literary devices to indicate the unsettling occurrence of unorthodox individuals being swayed by social norms to confirm their viewpoints even when considering the most insignificant creatures.…

    Everyone cares about you, yet no one cares about you at all. This statement is profound and repetitively felt in the story, “anyone lives in a pretty how town.” There are people all around that have feelings and yet none of them care about anyone but themselves. The obvious theme is lack of emotion towards your own people. The above statement is a glimpse of the attitudes and day to day flawed ways of inhabitants of pretty how towns and all other places in the world.…

    Coming-of-age stories detail the growth—physical, mental, and emotional—of a young character who is aging into adulthood. The character in question is often presented with obstacles in their journey. These obstacles can range from internal conflicts to adversaries who feel threatened by (or do not understand) the protagonist. The main character must pass the impediments in their path, and learn to understand who they are in the process.

    Isolation, by prohibiting the development of an individual’s perception of reality, harms one’s ability to mediate emotions and distorts their view of rationality. The main disadvantage of isolation: the loss of expression with society. Interaction with others creates a sense of belonging, intimacy and support for an individual. Without the imperative social skills, one’s decisions would be inane, and they’d be incapable of expedient reasoning. Throughout Golding’s…

    While not apparent, Golding subtly includes the suffering of Jack as he loses his innocence, descending from the leader of a choir group to the tyrannical chief of savages. Jack’s innocence is clearly displayed throughout the earlier chapters of the novel. Throughout the novel, his loss of innocence is highlighted in three main ways: his treatment of the pigs on the island, his physical appearance, and his hatred for Ralph, all which display suffering as an effect. By examining his treatment of pigs, a clear distinction can be seen by juxtaposing his behavior at the beginning and later sections of the novel. When venturing in the forest for the first time with Ralph and Simon, Jack could not kill the piglet; the narrator attributed his inability…

    People all over the world tend to toss their morals aside in order to conform to the influences of society or a higher superior. However, people below the chain of authority, especially the youth, struggle the most in attempt to triumph over these types of situations. Although conformity often helps society function correctly, there becomes a problem when a person’s identity becomes too infatuated within a higher authority that they disregard their own personal morals. So why in a society principled in independence and freewill do people eagerly toss morals aside in order to conform to a superior? It seems as if even though the face of morality does not disappear, individuals still willingly set their beliefs aside in order to please an authority figure.…

    It is simply naïve to disregard the overwhelming influence that the media and literature has had over the public over the past century and more precisely, in our youth. As a society, we constantly twist ourselves to fit the mold presented to us through various media outlets (e.g. TV, movies, magazines, advertisements, etc.) and in literature we encounter in our lives for a multitude of reasons. Throughout time, men have been presented to fit very traditionally masculine traits based on a preconceived narrative as to what it means to be a man and how to present oneself in order to be perceived as manly by others. Media and literature have branded a hyper-masculine image of men that has in time become what is expected for young boys to follow––be it relayed to them or not.…
