Upon reading the classic fairy tale story and enjoying the popular Broadway hit, you can see the two stories contain very similar and yet some unlike features. Throughout this paper I will be exploring the comparisons of these two stories told by Jeanne-Marie Laprince De Beaumont’s Beauty and the Beast to Andrew Lloyd Weber’s Phantom of the Opera. The most important symbol that is seen in both stories is the rose. In Beauty and the Beast Beauty asked her father for a rose since the countryside they
Upon asking me what my favorite picture book was, I knew without a doubt which childhood story I wished to share with you. Kaylee Clean Your Room written by Diane McAffee and Illustrated by Guy Francis was my favorite picture book when I was growing up. Between you and me, it still is my favorite picture book. Why? It is a simple story about young Kaylee not wanting to clean her room. As the days continue rotten food, disgusting garbage, and different animals begin to take over her bedroom. Grasshoppers
Date How I met my husband by Alice Munro The short story by Munro presents a teenage girl who goes through much agony before finding true love. The writer uses a first person narrator. A naïve young girl, Edie, brings out her story from a perspective of innocence although she uses a mature sense in some parts. Story centers on the teenage house girl’s life while bringing out the theme of love and the treacherous process she went through to find love. Her employers seem like caring people who trusts
it as a story. Somewhere in a far off land, (maybe Scotland) there was a boy who lived with his mother and his older brother. This boy watched his brother die in an ice skating accident the day before his dear brother's 14th birthday. It's sad, I know. But from this horrific accident that boy will be inspired and go on to create one of the most notorious story book characters of all time.
For most of us in our lives we have been told "You're pretty for a fat girl." or "You would be so much more attractive if you lost weight." I have been told this by several people, wiether it be when I was in school, when I worked, or even by family. I have heard the saying several times in my life "Beauty is only skin deep." Only Skin deep- I used to think this was a compliment growing up hearing it from family or others. Of course they would all say how pretty my sister and I was but, they
significantly relatable. The problems teens confront in his stories are problems in which teens still confront today which makes him popular. Shakespeare's still very popular today among current artists and screenwriters. In music, movies, and everyday life Shakespeare is accounted for. Consider for example the movie Table 19. One of the guests whom the bride and groom have wronged raises a toast and says, “You are Romeo and Juliet, and we all wish you the same happy ending.” Oh the irony! Taylor
family, I was taught to earn God's love and do the right thing. I always thought I wasn't nice enough, skinny enough, pretty enough, smart enough. The people and ideas I surrounded myself with consistently reminded me of my failures. Instead of learning the truth about the Lord, I gave up. I decided to do life on my own which, to me, meant being the first person to jump at hosting parties and chasing the idea I had in my head about what high school should be like for me. b. Somehow, through this and
when I reached my adolescent years. This anxiety is beyond shyness and stress that people normally feel, it became chronic to the point it makes me unable to function well. I never quite discussed it with other people, not even to my family, and it negatively affected how they perceive me. In this post, I’ll be sharing with you this extremely personal story of mine; the profound effects of anxiety in my life; signs and symptoms and how I’m conquering it. Hopefully, you’ll learn from this post and
Are Romeo and Juliet really in love? Some people might ask because the actions they take can make people believe either way. They are very irresponsible and don't make very smart decisions from when they first meet to the very end of the story. Here are three strong reasons on why Romeo and Juliet really aren't in love. They get married within hours of meeting each other, no one is supportive of their relationship, and their young and irresponsible. Romeo and Juliet get married just 24 hours after
Someone who motivates me, no doubt, no further thought, not a flinch further, probably the easiest question someone has ever asked me. My mother. This may sound cliché, but it’s a fact. Someone so loving, so strict, yet so motivating. From the moment my eyes took its first glance and probably even way before that, she’s been there for me, nurturing me till date despite my endless mistakes. She showers me with her ever lasting love even though I may come off as argumentative towards her and maybe
