Shrek: A Grotesque Fairytale From the first scene in Shrek, released in 2001, one can clearly expect a series of cynicism and crude humor embedded in a fairy tale. Dreamworks reinvents the tradition pattern of fairy tale happy endings by creating the most bizarre creature: Shrek. The hideous character was first introduced in William Steig 's book published in 1990, and according to critics, Steig 's version of Shrek is more confident and upbeat than the pessimistic and cynical version…

After recent critical praise on SNL, Alec…

adults who realize that “free college” is not free at all. For college students paying tuition it could be hard to see the big picture. If college is “free” people will be paying that $70 billion through taxes and eventually those who are in college now wishing it was free will have to pay for it too in the future.
