deterioration. Only certain archaeologists and researchers were allowed access to these caves for further examining (Bastian, 2009). The Unicorn Panel was the first wall I looked at, which depicted a group of unicorns,…

the heroine’s downfall. Despite the growing movement towards feminism in society, women still have to deal with the socialization of gender roles when depicted in novels and the media. This is especially demonstrated in Peter S. Beagle’s The Last Unicorn and the…

Dear Mr. Clark I read your book, Bad unicorn and it was pretty good. I liked how you added comedy and fantasy elements into the book. My favorite part was the cheeseburger moon and that made me chuckle a ton. I also liked that you took a little girl’s dream and crushed it with a man eating unicorn that can shoot fire out of her horn and burn people to a crisp. I liked that you put a magical book that only the main character could only read and it was just gibberish to other people. I suggest…

all face the challenges that come from poverty and dealing with the expectations of others. The most prominent symbol of the play is Laura’s favorite piece from her collection of glass menagerie - a unicorn. The unicorn symbolizes Laura since both are different from the others around them. The unicorn has a horn that the horses of the collection do not, and Laura has a crippled leg that other girls do not. Ironically, Jim - who manages to connect with Laura and get her to open up - does not…

her reasoning for writing Who Said It Was Simple and The Black Unicorn. In The Black Unicorn, Lorde again uses more aggressive and direct words and phrases such as “mist painted mockeries of my fury,” “greedy,” “impatient,” “restless,” “unrelenting,” and “not free.” These words and phrases explore why poetry is “a vital necessity” while also connecting to Who Said It Was Simple by depicting the oppression based on race (i.e. black unicorn,) gender, and sexuality. Lorde says that black women are…

Heroism Heroism “Great heroes need great sorrows and burdens, or half their greatness goes unnoticed. It is all part of the fairy tale.” Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn. Heroes can be anyone, heroes don’t put themselves before others, they put others lives before their own. They make sacrifices and hard decisions like choosing the few over the many. Heroes would sacrifice themselves for the lives of others. Heroes don’t always succeed at what they are trying to accomplish. Sometimes they don’t…

particular figurine stands out the most. A small unicorn is her most prized and favorited out of the rest of her menagerie collection. This small figurine is also brought up various times through-out the play. This unicorn has an array of semblances and significance to Laura, besides just being her favorite thing. The main significance of the unicorn to Laura is that the miniature, carved piece of glass represents her.…

the two scholars who describe the Chinese unicorn in great detail, the gentle, benevolent, and attractive qualities of the Ki’lin have given it a role in Chinese culture as a source of goodness and wisdom. The Ki’lin is also said to have resembled many different animals (South 1987). Nigg states that the Ki’lin had the body of a deer, hoofs of a horse, and the tail of an ox (Nigg 1995). The Ki’lin is said to be found near the Yellow River (“Chinese Unicorns”). The Ki’lin originates in the legend…

checked everything, it needed to be perfect. I was going after that unicorn to kill it once and for all. When a unicorn comes out from the woods, it's my job to hunt it down. This unicorn had been coming after the cats. Where I come from, we praise cats. We let the cats roam free and it's our duty to make daily offering offering to them. Finding a dead cat in the street is a tragedy, and I was determined to hunt down the last known unicorn, to end this tragedy forever. I prayed to the meow…

The Glass Menagerie divulges the standards that the population dreams to have. Laura Wingfield does not meet the standards and is affected severely, vanishing her faith. When most of Laura’s hope and faith were gone the broken unicorn came into action. The broken unicorn liberates Laura from her difficulties and signifies that perfect is not always better. That period of time is a difficult time to live in, but it was not impossible if someone had the faith and motivation guide them. In The…
