Winnie the Pooh Not Just CLICKBAIT

Winnie the Pooh was and still is a popular fictional character that starred in numerous short stories. The stories are usually seen as a cute children’s stories about a boy’s imagination, but when digging deeper, there are several topics that the author tackles. In A. A. Milne’s collection of stories “Winnie the Pooh,” there is a correlation between its characters and societal institutions such as entertainment and manufacturing. Tigger is a prime example of the entertainment industry. In “In which Tigger comes to the forest and has breakfast,” Eeyore requests Pooh to “ask [Tigger] to do his exercises somewhere else? I shall be having lunch directly, and don’t want it bounced on just before I begin. A trifling matter, and fussy of me, but we all have our little ways.” Statistica.com shows that the entertainment industry is worth approximately 1.89 trillion dollars. While Tigger is overwhelming in the fact that he is so energetic and is constantly moving, the entertainment industry overwhelms people with too much content to follow up on. Another example of A.A Milne making Tigger and the entertainment industry synonymous, is how Tigger is deceptive. “In which Tigger comes to the forest and has breakfast” states:
‘Then why did it try to bite me when I wasn’t looking?’ ‘I don’t think it did,’ said Pooh.

Additionally, PwC network in their 2016 Entertainment & Media Industry Trends report claims,“Companies across the M&E sector need an effective fan-centric strategy — or risk decline and irrelevance,” which corresponds to Tigger’s extreme desire to be liked by all characters -accentuating his

    In 1906, author Upton Sinclair’s novel, The Jungle, changed the course of history and led to the reformation of Chicago’s meatpacking industry, which was plagued by managerial corruption and unsanitary conditions. Shortly after the novel’s release, the federal government took legal action against the entire industry (Hevrdejs). The Jungle demonstrates the power of fiction to create social change. However, since the early 20th century, society has transitioned from a reliance on the written word to a visual culture, where images posses more meaning than prose. Film has become the dominant form of visual storytelling for large audiences, and like literature, it has been part of the discourse on social and environmental issues for some time.…

Without rules and a common leader men will become so power hungry that they will destroy themselves and others. William Golding fulfills Hobbes ideas about man with Lord of the Flies in the moments when, Jack and Ralph are fighting for power, when Simon dies and when Piggy dies.…

    So, in “Mein Kampf,” Speiegelman is not only dealing with “Maus” overpowering and intimidating him. But, as hinted in my analysis, he is also dealing with a mid-life crisis and the loss of memory as he enters old age. He faces these problems by going into his mind, searching for these memories and reminiscing about them. It’s an interesting dynamic, the fact that he goes into his own mind to find the memories.
