Bryan was special. He was also a donkey, and he was stuck with us for two days. My friend and I were in Philmont Scout camp, a high adventure backpacking trip that I went to last summer. The trip was one of the best experiences of my life, something that I look back on with fondness now, rather than I did at the time. About three quarters through our ten day trek we stayed the night at the old base camp, and had dutch oven food, showers, and root beer. It set us in high spirits for the rest of…

In the 1999 movie, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” directed by Michael Hoffman, a girl meets a boy, loses him due to love pollen, and wins him back with the help of fairy magic. Although the plot seems simple, it has multiple elements that it takes from the play and amplifies it so it can sit on the big screen.

This shows us how much care he really has for the friends and not the…

“The Donkey Skin Folktale Cycle (AT 510B)”, Christine Goldberg mentions the contrast between disguise and dresses: “Because together they make a perfect contrast, the ugliness of the skin disguise attracted the motif of the splendid dresses” (Goldberg, 41). The contrast between both motifs proves Perrault’s purpose in criticizing how beauty takes precedence over other qualities such as wealth when it comes to men’s standards. When the princess undergoes the drudgery-in-disguise with donkey skin…

Shrek says to Donkey at his swamp while they were verbally fighting,” Love me? She said I was ugly, a hideous creature. I heard the two of you talking. (Adamson)” Shrek is very depressed when he thinks that Fiona is saying that Shrek is unlovable and ugly when really…

The Giga Impact of the NES After I was prompted to write an essay about an important event in history I decided to go to an event that helped shape the world, yet barely anybody realizes how much of an impact it had on the world, the release of the NES.
