The Monkey King’s arrogance and feud with the King of Heaven had landed him under a pile of rocks for 500 years (Yang, American Born Chinese 84). His only way to freedom came from a humble monk sent by the King. The Monkey Kings charge was to reconcile the fact that he was indeed a monkey, to accept being the monks disciple, and to “return to your true form and you shall be freed” (Yang, American Born Chinese 145). He stubbornly refused, causing the monk to be in grave danger. As a last chance at freedom, the Monkey King returned to his true identity, saved the monk, obtained his freedom, and happily served the monk and the King of Heaven faithfully.
I’m not a writer, I’m a monkey! I’m supposed to be swinging on tree branches and digging up ants, not sitting under fluorescent lights ten hours a day (Ives 1635)! Similarly in the movie Office Space, the main character Peter cries, “Humans were not meant to sit in little cubicles starring at computer screens all day filling out useless forms and listening to eight different bosses drone on about mission statements”(Office). Mike Judge has experience directing actors in the movie Office Space who go through the same kind of frustrations the characters in the play experience. For this reason and others mentioned prior, I know he would be excellent at highlighting the satirical situations involved in Words, Words,
In Kahlo's 'Self Portrait with Monkey' a self portrait of Frida herself being grasped around the neck with a monkey which could be suggested to be her pet monkey, is centred in front of a background that has a leafy pattern. The mood that has been created in the painting is quite an uneasy one, as a stern and cold expression on Frida's face possibly over the divorce from Diego, is shown. The monkeys expression being the same. Although great detail is present in the painting, the leaves in the background seem to blend together with the monotonous colour (brownish/green) being shown throughout. This draws our attention onto Frida, as she painted herself an interesting element of a deep red ribbon that wraps around her neck and then disappears behind the monkey's neck.
One was covered with sponge and a soft terry cloth material and the other was covered with by wire mesh for clinging on to. Both surrogate mothers had a light inserted for warmth and a feeding bottle. Harlow separated two groups of monkeys from their mothers and they were placed with the surrogate mothers. It was clear by the results of this study that although the monkeys would go to the wire mother for food, once fed they would return to the terry clothe mother. Harry Harlow and Mary Ainsworth experiment is simular because they both done an experiment on understanding attachment.
One amazing species (Birgus latro) can climb coconut trees, cut a coconut loose, and can make a hole in a coconut so it can eat the inside! (I'm not making this up!) They do all have to return to the water to reproduce however. Did you know that hermit crabs are not considered true crabs? Two big differences are seen in the legs and the antenna.

She learns the anything truly important is worth overcoming many obstacles to achieve, like the field of flowers that made you very sleepy and stealing the broom from the wicked witch. She learned that weak and helpless people can defeat evil, if they work together.

She learned that we limit ourselves, like the tine man, scarecrow and lion who swore they did not poses any of the gifts they seeked out for. Those are many of the other lessons Dorothy learned throughout this strange yet unforgettable journey through Oz.
Mark Twain enhanced the readers perception of how they talked by spelling words differently and using slang like, “Deed you ain't! You never said no truer thing 'n that, you bet you.” Huckleberry Finn also makes referrences to the scenery when he travels to escape his father, “ He has to travel in his raft on the water and even says, “There was freckled places on the ground where the light sifted down through the leaves, and the freckled places swapped about a little, showing there was a little breeze up there. A couple of squirrels set on a limb and jabbered at me very friendly." The existence of slavery also gives the reader insight to the general time which was before the civil war. Slavery is legal, and it shown throughout the book like, “They said he could VOTE when he was at home.
The Real Story in Life of Pi The difference between fiction and reality is not always evident to those who are unable or unwilling to recognize the difference. In Yann Martel’s novel Life of Pi, he wants the reader to decipher whether his first story or his second story is real. The first story consists of the protagonist, Piscine Patel, being trapped on a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger, Richard Parker, and many other animals from his father’s zoo after they were lost together at sea. In the second story, Piscine tells us that he was actually on a lifeboat with a chef, his mother, and a sailor, where the characters were changed to animals to help him cope with his loss. Martel clearly wishes the reader to understand why “Pi” might have been more truthful in the one story rather than the other.
