Pinocchio

that Pinocchio conveys through both the lenses of universal and national views ins the idea of hedonism versus that of work ethic. In the novel, small nuances such as “when poverty shows itself, even mischievous boys understand what it means” are associated with moral lessons that make the entire novel viewed through a more universal lens (Collodi 20). Another phrase that is very poignant is whenever Pinocchio is traveling to the Land of Toys, a unique instance of foreshadowing occurs whenever…

I did it just for you, although I think my thumb thanks me too because I doubt it likes feeling like it is a grandma, all wrinkled like a raisin, all the time!” I excitedly shout while showing off my thumb that has become young again. He started to laugh at the last sentence. A great big laugh. “So now your thumb has just as much energy as the rest of you?” he asked. “Yup,” I reply so proud of myself. “Does that mean that now you will hold your pencil correctly?” he joked. “Maybe I will work on…

The first stanza is about being surrounded by people and having to wear my mask. I have to pretend to be happy by wearing a “smile”,I said it was “etched” on my face because it sounds more forced rather than natural. This mask is persuasive it is able to distort reality with its “silver tongue” so people do not realize it is all fake. I used a simile to compare my lying to “Pinocchio”. The lies flow so naturally it almost seems real but there is always a reminder. If it weren’t for the reminder…

To most audiences the story of Pinocchio is a lighthearted one, filled with the adventures of a jovial puppet and his cricket conscience with the occasional unnerving scene. Yet this is not the dark and death defying tale that author Carlo Collodi originally wrote in his 1883 novel. As is the case with many Disney adaptations, the original story of Pinocchio has been erased from the public consciousness and replaced by that of the adaption. This erasure is due to the quality of the film and its…
