That’s not good enough! Too slow! What are you, a turtle? Oh my lord. Have I mentioned how hideous you are?” A tear rolled down my cheek. I kept cleaning. I had to, or she would tell father.

    When I was eight years old, my family went on a vacation to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Being the extravagant woman that she is, my grandmother spared no expense; we stayed in a Disney hotel with a jungle theme and went to the water parks and restaurants. However, the prospect of going to Cinderella's Castle made me most euphoric. I had always loved Disney and had traveled to Disney World once before, but I was too young to truly remember the trip.

    For some strange reason, this week got me thinking a lot about Disney and how it took unique characters like Pochantas and changed the storyline to "Westernize" it. I feel that, in the same nature, indigenous religions were affected so harshly by the rise of Christianity and the traveling of settlers. It is sad to think that even today there are Native Americans fighting the government in order to keep their land safe. I grew up going to this one art class and every single class the teacher would read us a new tale. I used to be so entrapped with the mythology behind every story.…

    I plan on bringing multiple topics from class into my story and make each topic into a character. For example: A Feminist character for one of the Feminist articles, a ‘disabled’ individual for the disability article, an oppressor for one of the oppression articles, etc. I want to share their lives in a world where they are all classmates who do not get along. The students end up going on a three week vacation together to Rome, Italy in the summer and are held captive instead for two months by a familiar man who dictates their every move. The goal of this piece is to travel through the characters lives to understand each individual's specific qualities/ways of life and become more liberated as a group by the end.…
