It was early Christmas morning in Los Angeles, California. I woke up feeling like many kids felt when they woke up that morning, with excitement. I put on my clothes and rushed down stairs to find only one present under the tree. I looked at the name tag for who it was for, it was for me. I picked it up and shook it, I couldn’t hear anything. I ripped it open to find a piece of paper. The paper said ‘You have been chosen out of a special group to go undercover and fight crime over the world’. I…

in the 1980’s with the middle and end of the movie in the twenty first century. The beginning of the movie starts out with Santa Claus accidentally bringing a baby back with him to the North Pole. An elf names the baby Buddy and volunteers to raise him as his own. In the North Pole they have different norms and beliefs than anywhere else. They believe that reindeer fly, Santa is real and they can make enough toys for all the good children in a year. Buddy was raised with these beliefs and they…

All kids have lie, we have all done it. Yes, even you the parent! Admit it, at one time or other when you were little you told a little lie, a fabrication, or a bending of the truth. Whatever you want to call it, you lied. Eventually, you, the parent, got in trouble. But what about when parents lie to their own kids! Should you be lying to your kids in the first place? Is it time your kids put you in time out!? In my opinion it's very simple, as the parent, you should not lie to your kids.…

Who doesn’t love a story that takes an unexpected turn? The Gift of the Magi, The Necklace, and The Lady or the Tiger all include many instances of irony. Irony helps create more suspense in a story and makes it more entertaining.. Della and Jim give up their most prized possessions because their love for eachother is so great, Mathilde quickly learns that looks can be deceiving, and the King is nothing but barbaric. Irony helps reveal the true theme and characters in a story. True gift giving…

It all started when Stephen woke up on christmas Day like any other kid. He was so excited, but when he got down to check and see if Santa had come, sadly there where only two crying elfs. He goes to see what was wrong. They said that their names were Andrew and Callie. They went on to explain that Santa had been kidnapped. So instantly acting on pure instinct he stole his mother's car keys and “drove” to the airport. He managed to get into a airplane. As they tried to take off the guard…

I wish I could explain to you just what's going on inside me around Christmas time. Something that deals with the heart. It may make you laugh or it might deeply resonate with you. It usually starts when I hear music. Christmas music of course. The songs play with sounds of bells in the background, and they begin to stir feelings of excitement. Everything within me jumps for joy and dances around uncontrollably. There's a warmth that stretches to my toes and makes me downright giddy: Like a…

Since the dawn of mankind, greed has always had an important role in the corruption of humans. Both,"The Gift Of The Magi", and "The Lottery Ticket", are shown through the global context lens of Identities and Relationship because they examine this excessive value placed in material possessions and its impact on human relationships. Each author uniquely uses the development of their plot, the characters, and the overall theme, to demonstrate how material possessions are not the key to happiness.…

shattered by something as large-scale as poverty or as insignificant as finding out that Santa Claus doesn’t exist. When I was first told that Santa Claus didn’t exist, it was the Christmas Eve of 2007. I was eight-years old. Of course, I didn’t believe my brother when he told me this. Santa was practically a real-life…

‘Performances mark identities, bend time, reshape and adorn the body, and tell stories’ – Richard Schechner, Performance Studies: An Introduction. Human life is drenched nowadays with ritual and traditions and Christmas Day comes under that very heavily, it is a greatly celebrated event, especially in our Western society. Naturally, we will adopt restored behaviour and focus into our ‘second reality’. Schechner’s ‘Performance Studies: An Introduction’ gives an insight to the various concepts…
