Uglies

it to the ball. An additional difference between the two films is that the original version by Grimm’s ending included the step sisters going blind due to the birds pecking out their eyes. Disney’s very popular version displayed the step sisters as ugly. The third difference is the…

The Good, The Bad and the Ugly fits greatly in the history of the western. The movie was film in the West America because of the desert, mountains, small town frontier, railroads, saloons, and military forts of the Wild West. Most of the western movies had cowboys armed with a revolver gun, wearing boots, hats, spurs, and bandanas abound their necks while riding horses. Western movies usually had the same story lines about lawman and bounty hunters tracking down wanted people for a living. Most…

The clock marks 8:00 AM and the annoying sound of the alarm wakes me up in the middle of a dream. I stand up, put on an old shirt and go to the kitchen. I check the fridge and there 's only a little bit of milk left, no food. Great. Now it 's time to go to work. I sell vacuum cleaners all day, and right now on an empty stomach it won 't be a good day. I go check on my wife at her room. Goodness gracious to think that we have been married for twenty years and sleeping separately for five out of…

They both are greedy in the stories. In both stories they are shown to have fancy clothes and jewelry because they got what they wanted. Though, there are some similarities from both stories, there are some differences. In Disney’s Cinderella they are ugly to show kids that they aren’t the nicest. In Grimm’s Cinderella they are shown to be beautiful. Over time, the story changes, but the plot stays true. Despite bearing some superficial similarities, the difference is between Disney’s…

In Scott Westerfeld's dystopian novel Uglies, chapter thirteen is one of the most important chapters and where the conflict begins. This chapter, Special Circumstances, stood out to me because this is where the action starts and Tally begins to realize that the pretty life might not be the best life. This chapter fits into the story as a whole because this is where the specials start getting involved and this is where the conflict begins. In this chapter, Tally starts to to question being…

Westerfield’s Uglies is a society that is purely dependent on age. A person’s age in the society is what determines where they live and what they can do with their life. For instance, the youngest children live with the middle aged group of people until they turn twelve, which is when all the children move into dorm style living. The society appeals to readers because everyone gets to choose exactly what they look like, and nobody hates anyone. There is no war or any major crimes that make…

I watched Cinderella (1950) on Friday, October 14th 2016 at 9:30pm. I borrowed the DVD from the Monrovia Library. The message that I did get while watching it, after already keeping in mind the curriculum we’ve been given in class to indentify certain “Isms” or ideologies. I do see Cinderella as a Blonde hair, blue eyed young woman, who at one time had wealth and love. Who naturally is orphaned because not all good things last forever, or the kind people who might have wealth, and…

There has been quite a shift as time progresses in the land of fairytales. What started as women being oppressed, as stated above, they are slowly obtaining more powerful and dominate roles. Tales mirror society, so as society changes so does the tales. An example of this is Sleeping Beauty, and the rendition of it called “Maleficent” created by Walt Disney Pictures and directed by Robert Stromberg. In the older version of Sleeping Beauty by Charles Perrault, the princess Aurora is cursed by a…

The film I chose to do a critical analysis of the cinematic elements of is "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly." The Good, The Bad and the Ugly is a 1966 Spaghetti Western film, directed by Sergio Leone, it was marketed as the third installment of what became known as the Dollars Trilogy. The film is about three outlaws during the civil war that try to outsmart each other in a journey to unearth a fortune in stolen gold buried in an unmarked grave. Clint Eastwood stars as the main character…

Due to experiences reading these two books, Uglies and Harrison Bergeron, one might infer that there is no hope for society. Humans are getting strict ideas of what “pretty” needs to look like on the inside and out. Society is on a downhill slope and there’s no coming back. Evidence from Harrison Bergeron states, “Hazel had a perfectly average intelligence, which meant she couldn’t think about anything, except in short bursts” (Vonnegut 21). The smartest people in the world can come up with a…
