A Little Deeper

and cry, often in all in the same movie. Disney Pictures’ definition also comes from its impressive morals that take away from the determination, humor, and love in each movie. Beauty and Beast teaches children to love the beauty within someone; The Little Mermaid teaches viewers to be open to adventure and exploration. Disney movies of all kinds are worthwhile to watch because they teach important life lessons. Like popular Disney movies, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn teaches valuable life…

The United States is the only country that used a nuclear weapon in a war. Both atomic bombs were dropped on Japan. The Little Boy was dropped on Hiroshima and the Fat Man dropped on Nagasaki. It all started with President Roosevelt in 1939, when Roosevelt authorized the Manhattan Project, a secret project to expand research on nuclear fission to make nuclear weapons. Truman then became president when Roosevelt died in 1945. With the war still going on, Truman gave Japan one final warning, which…

People say that love can make you do crazy things. A short story written by Hans Andersen called “The Little Mermaid” sounds like a story based on this quote. This story is about a young mermaid who wants to be loved. In the story the young mermaid has a growing obsession with the world of the humans. She dreams of the day that she is allowed to go to the surface, sit on the rocks, and watch the ships go by. The girls are only allowed to go to the surfaces at the age of fifteen and at night.…

differences and notice the changes much like Pico Iyer’s observations in his essay, “Where Worlds Collide”. Everything was so different. Every single thing that I re-saw got me to realize the distinctions between the two cultures. I noticed the small little details in everyday lifestyles that would throw me off and the most insignificant things that I would be uncomfortable with because of the…

Chapter Four Having Arlene as a friend made school a little more tolerable for Hunter. She would meet him at their table every lunch hour and they’d say goodbye at the end of the day. That didn’t mean the mornings were any better, by any means; some of Frankie’s friends would say shit about him in Geography. It didn’t hurt him or anything (so what if he was drawing the whole class? More entertaining than the actual lesson), but what did bother him was that Frankie would sit there and do…

As stated in the first paper written, I’m canalizing the relationship between my boyfriend and me. A little over three years ago I fell in love expectantly at the age of sixteen. I had no idea that we would end up having a future together. My life turned upside down in the best way possible and in the mean time I have learned many life lessons in between. We have had many obstacles but have managed to get through everything together. No relationship is perfect, everyone has moments where they…

fall semester of 2016. I was a little late in the enrollment process and some of the classes I wanted to take were either not available or completely filled. So my advisor asked me if I would be interested in taking speech class. I thought to myself “I don’t really like talking in front of people but it is a requirement.” So I signed up for Introduction to Speech Communication (10116) and that is where this reflection starts. The first day of class was a little intimidating. We started…

such as the way their body looks. In The Yellow Glove by Naomi Shihab Nye, the little girl has no control of what is happening in her life, and as her yellow glove gets swept away she is consumed by despair because she knows how much money gloves cost. As perceived in each of these stories, children see the world as so small and accordingly little things are a big deal. As people age the world becomes bigger so little things are not a big deal, and there are bigger matters to worry about. In…

mixture of both country music and R & B music. It was different from what teenagers were used to this is why it was so popular between a diverse group of people. Both races started buying theses albums from artist like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, little Richard and Bill Haley. Induvial started to grow a strong passion for rock and roll music especially teenagers. This was a huge cultural change because different races starting doing a lot of the same things like listening to the same radio…

First, starting out with what each mermaid desires most. Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid” has come to terms with wanting a soul, “more and more she grew to love human beings and wished that she could leave the sea and live among them,” (Andersen 65) but pays the ultimate price overall when this ordeal takes place. In Disney’s The Little Mermaid, she has come to the conclusion that she also wants to be part of the human world, after being curious but her ultimate goal is be with the prince. Both…
