Midsummer

It was an action, full of adventure, romantic, but above all that, it was a fantasy. J.K Rowling knew exactly what she was doing when she wrote this story line. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is an extrodinary array of magical creatures documented by a man by the name of Newt Scamander. During this movie Newt travels away from his home in England to the Big Apple known as New York. While in New York he might have made it there and back without conflict if it weren’t for Jacob Kowalski,…

Tri 3 Final Poem Analysis Overall the poem was really good and had a great meaning behind it. It tells the story of a journey we all go on. A journey that is tough for some people and easy for others. A journey everyone realizes is too short and can never be long enough. A journey that is called life. I thought the poem was really good. I really liked the way Shakespeare actually broke it down into the seven sections/stages of life. Although if you look closely he broke it down even further.…

Picture a place where Kings rule the land, Gods guide there every step, and magic is around every turn. Alexander is the 16 year old heir to Macedonian throne, son of King Philip II, and left Alex as prince regent of Macedon until he returns. Olympias, his mother, and Cyn, his half sister, are attempting a ritual to get magic. Katrina and Jacob left their home tribe of Erissa and are in Pella for the Blood Tournament which Jacob is competing in. Jacob has to compete against many other strong men…

Yet, the “evil” was still vanquished. Perhaps that counts for something? Not quite. Taking a look at the tale how it was originally written may prove to be enlightening. Rumpelstiltskin is described differently in translations of the German tale. In the original German text, Rumpelstilzchen, the Brothers Grimm describe Rumpelstiltskin as a männlein (Grimm, Rumpelstilzchen). In English translations he is often called a manikin or a hobgoblin. The männlein is a fairy that is helpful and wise, but…

Personal Statement 4. Explain unicorns. “What do you know about unicorns?” the man across from me asked, pushing up his glasses. I blinked, caught off-guard by the question from this new chairman. What was he talking about? “Unicorns?” I stuttered. He only nodded. “W-well, I don’t know?” I hesitantly replied. Did he really just pull me out of class to ask about unicorns? Is he crazy? He watched me, his sharp eyes narrowing before shaking his head sadly. “You must think I’m crazy…” Bingo. You…

What would you do if you lost the person you love most? That’s the kind of decisions that both Ovid and Shakespeare write about in “Pyramus and Thisbe” and The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. In the stories, Thisbe and Juliet are both faced with the same question, and they both choose the same fate. Although Shakespeare’s play, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is based off of Ovid’s poem, “Pyramus and Thisbe” both portray the scenes differently, and in a way, better than one another. While Ovid…

The scenes with The Mechanicals add to the play in a variety of ways. For instance, they represent important aspects and themes of the story, a different storyline that intertwines with the main one, a comedic tone/aspect throughout their scenes, and an underlying irony. The Mechanical scenes portray important ideas and themes of the main plot. Their play was about Thisbe and Pyramus. Events that occurred to Thisbe and Pyramus also happened to the Athenian lovers. For example, Thisbe and Pyramus…

To begin with, Shakespeare demonstrates the difficulty of love as the characters first run away into the forest trying to find true happiness due to the father’s actions. The main character’s, Hermia, father denies her lover and went on to accept someone else who was more convenient on his behalf (1.1.20-126). Her father, believe it or not, is trying to save his daughter from being used only to make love as that’s all he saw her lover always trying to do. Her father chooses someone who has…
