Geography Of Shrek

Decent Essays
Foster would classify geography as any setting or any detail of a situation pertaining to the surroundings of the character or characters. The media examples of geography I’ve chosen are: Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Shrek, The Grapes of Wrath, and To Kill a Mockingbird. For the first movie, the Grinch lives on a mountain very high up which represents isolation, which the Grinch is in fact as he separates himself from everyone in Whoville. In “Shrek,” Shrek is an ogre who lives alone in a swamp representing unpleasantness. Unpleasant meaning the place he lives is not very appealing and unpleasantness meaning how he feels, as he is not very satisfied with his life although he appears to be to others. In the book “The Grapes of

    Finally, once the vineyard has been purchased and farmhands hired, the Northern Buyer “[has] a mild suspicion that [his] colored assistants do not suffer from want of grapes during the season” (706). However, this is the only mention of the issue – nothing more than a mild observance, whereas the slave owner in Julius’s story sought to control this issue by means of beatings and actual, mystical curses (e.g. the titular…

    w’en Mars Dugal’ began ter orune de grapevimes, he mus’ go en take ‘n scrape off de sap whar it ooze out’n de cut een’s er de vimes, en ‘n’into his ball head wid it; en ed he do dat once’t a year de gopher would n’ wuk agin ‘im long ez he done it” (463). At the beginning of the story the white man finds Julius eating grapes, “He held on his knees a hat full of grapes, over which he was smacking his lips with great gusto, and a pile of grapeskins near him indicated that the performance was no new thing” (460). Another reason for Julius to tell a story like this is because he is benefiting from the grapes and does not want anyone to take away what little he has, “I found, when I bought the vineyard, that Uncle Julius had occupied a cabin on the place for many years, and derived a respectable revenue from the product of the neglected grapevines” (466). The comparison that Uncle Julius makes between himself and Henry allows the reader to see that Uncle Julius is not only trying to persuade the white couple not to buy the vineyard, but also to elevate his status in their…

    This caused the subject to lose credibility, and people turned aggressive towards different group comparisons. After the negative stigma was created, the subject was removed from Harvard and many other universities followed without protest. Landes believes that the subject itself is discredited and causes people to see geography as “unfair.” Why do “most writers prefer to say nothing” about Geography? Why does Landes respond that “One must not take that easy way out”?…

    A. THEMES: • MOVEMENT: By definition, movement, one of the five themes of geography, is characterized by the transfer of people, ideas, and culture, and things over space. In “A Clash of Culture in Heartland America,” Stephen G. Bloom excellently portrays the reluctance and negativity that can be involved with relocation and movement. Specifically, Postville was a picturesque town where all the citizens knew and trusted the other members of their community. In fact, the trust level was so high that many individuals did not lock their car or house doors.…

    In the article “Telling ‘Spatial Stories’: Urban Space and Bourgeois Identity in Early Nineteenth-Century Paris” (Journal of Modern History, 2003), Victoria E. Thompson explores how the ideologies of the middle class, expressed through literature, had a significant impact on the organization of society, and the physicality of landscape in Paris surrounding the July Revolution of 1830. During this time, social class and landscape were under construction, and as a result, the formation of the new large middle class was in need of an identity and took advantage of their presence and power of the urban landscape to help differentiate themselves among the wealthy and poor. Spatial stories, fictional narrative accounts of the everyday occurrences between the social classes in specific urban locations, influenced the middle class through the…
