A thirteen-year difference lies between two connected Pixar movies that both involve a soul finding their way home. Finding Dory begins with brief flashbacks of the previous movie Finding Nemo and then picks up a year after its ending. Instead of the movie being centered on the journey of crossing the ocean like Finding Nemo, Finding Dory is more centered on Dory’s journey inside the aquarium. Most people remember watching Finding Nemo as a child, now with the sequel finally premiered, the childhood story can now continue in the minds of its supporters. The movie Finding Dory brought in $422.5 million, which pushed it to be the biggest hit in Pixar history, but is it worth the money to watch (Singer, 2016)? One of Finding Dory’s main features is the animation. This is an important factor because Finding Dory is an animated movie. Everything you look at in the movie is animated, which Pixar has undoubtedly upgraded on in the past few years. The movie is very eye appealing because it mostly contains the color blue as the scene is set in the ocean. The color blue is associated with the feeling of relaxation, which is why it is so appealing to the eye. The vibrant colors snatch your attention along with the oceanic topography (Collins, 2016). Sea animals of all shapes and sizes swim across the screen, along with beautiful kelp forests, towering skyscrapers, and dazzlingly colorful coral. The high definition quality is the main eye grabber. As the movie progresses, it transitions…

The recent sequel to “Finding Nemo”, “Finding Dory”, which was released in 2016, takes the Disney Pixar classic from a new perspective as Dory searches for her parents. Dory is a blue tang fish with a memory that lasts for a brief ten seconds at a time and remembers nothing outside of the current ten seconds. Except in this movie, Dory remembers something, she has a memory of her parents, which shocks Nemo, Marlin, and all of Dory’s friends, ultimately inspiring Dory to go on a quest in search…

She is the reason that Poe has wrote the poem and is the main focus of the whole poem. Poe never really gives us any details about Annabel Lee herself; she doesn’t talk and we don’t really know what she looks like so this allows the reader to characterize Annabel Lee however they see fit. Also, this could be the poet’s way of showing that she is perfect in his eyes and is made of pure beauty. Annabel Lee is first mentioned in line 4 when the poet refers to her as a “maiden,” which almost makes…

individual can look at a situation in an unorthodox perspective, their position can be altered. This concept is presented in Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird. In the novel, Lee displays varying perspectives on a court case between a black man and a white family. Atticus Finch, the lawyer appointed to the case, changed the perspectives and beliefs of individuals regarding equality, by getting them to look past the promoted beliefs of society. The majority of Maycomb residents see themselves…

Recently, I have had the literary privilege of reading two great novels, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Go Set a Watchman, both by the renowned Harper Lee. In my reflection of reading these two stories, I viewed one as an innocent example and the other as a wake up call to reality. I agree that the character of Atticus Finch has indeed been added value to – in some ways that most people would not prefer. The fact is, he is the same person in both stories, only to be distinguished by the…

This paternalistic theme continues in Lee’s work. This time, Lee denounces Northern liberalism. When Scout starts first grade she meets Miss Caroline, her new teacher who is implemented a new method of teaching that Jem incorrectly calls the Dewey Decimal system. While the Dewey Decimal system refers to the library classification, Crispino argues that the new method of teaching Scout is referring to the is the methods taught by John Dewey. Dewey has been described as "a philosopher who combined…

This becomes a very prominent barrier that prevents many people from trying to see things from another’s perspective. Many of the town’s residents contain a strong hold onto their traditional beliefs, in…

away from Jem and [runs] as fast as [she] [can] to Atticus” (Lee 202). She thinks that the people Atticus is speaking to are gathered for a friendly chat when they are not.
