For my film review, I deiced to do one of my all-time favorite movies by Henry Selick titled Coraline. Let me start by saying while Coraline is a beautifully created family film it is not for all children like it was advertised. Coraline is much more of a whimsical horror that not every child would be able to handle. Coraline is about a twelve-year-old girl named Coraline. She moves with her family from Michigan all the way to Oregon to an old house called the pink palace. There she feels bored…

trails and gains wisdom of knowledge and maturation, as he learns who he truly is. Within his trials he faces numerous foes, who possess the power of magic Neil Gaiman bases Stardust on a bildungsroman style of writing, which focuses on the transition from youth to adulthood and follows a strict pattern of the monomyth of a hero's journey. In Neil Gaiman’s “Stardust”, the concept of love, magic and youth to adulthood, develop…

The University of the Arts, Neil Gaiman uses his knowledge that he has accumulated from his successful career in the arts to give advice to the graduating class of 2012. Through his use of metaphorical comparisons, his carefree and honest delivery, and organization of his speech, Gaiman effectively conveys his message to the students that they are going to hit a few bumps in the road, but if they keep up their hard work, their successes will surpass their failures. Gaimans’ main point throughout…

After reading “The Other Wes Moore” by Wes Moore I can understand what he means when he says “The chilling truth is that his story could have been mine, the tragedy is that my story could have been his”. This is about two men who each had their own struggle growing up but one was able to succeed in life while the other is facing a life sentence behind bars. Wes Moore could have had a similar life as the other Wes Moore if his mother would have just given up on him. Credit should not be given…

Grimm brothers “original” version and Neil Gaiman’s spin-off version of the story. It is clear to understand that the mood and themes of these two stories are highly influenced by the symbolism and plot. Neil Gaiman changed the perspective of Snow-White and gave a different meaning to some of the symbols within the story. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm’s symbolism in “Little Snow-White” reflects a lot of Christian beliefs that make it come off as innocent. While Neil Gaiman’s dark symbolism in…

In Neverwhere, Neil Gaiman uses the relationships between characters in a feudalistic system to illuminate gender, social, and power inequality by reversing the thematic roles generically given to males or females to promote equality and reduce prejudice stemming from inequality in society. Furthermore, common role placement is usually riddled with inequality, so role reversal is used to identify those places of inequality and create a vision for how society could be with multiple strong female…

During childhood, children are constantly telling themselves that they are inferior to adults. The conflict of adulthood versus childhood happens to be one of the main themes in The Ocean at the End of The Lane by Neil Gaiman. Throughout the story, the Hempstocks teach the narrator important lessons regarding grown ups and adults. Among these lessons include how adults don't always win against children and how adults are just children trapped inside intimidating adult bodies. These lessons give…

In the book “Stardust” by Neil Gaiman, it is about Tristan Thorn’s journey to find the star and to bring it back to his love, Victoria Forester. The main message that the author has brought to the readers is to jump out of our comfort zone because it can enhance readers’ experiences and knowledge. The author showed this theme through the glass snowdrop, a village shop called Monday and Brown’s stocking system, and Tristan’s character development. In my opinion, this theme is still relevant in…
