These topical matters which Yolen has used are the holocaust, and the fairy-tale sleeping beauty or less commonly known as briar rose. Both these subject matters are well known in society and have had huge impacts on history. Being such well known subject matters instantly engages the audience as they are able to apply their knowledge and to make cross-links between the two subject matters. Intertextuality of any text will be intriguing and engaging as the audience is able to compare and to know the basic outline of what is to come, this could be considered dramatic irony. The symbolism of the holocaust is engaging as fairy-tales are always considered to have a happy ending but using such a dark topical matter which seems to have no happy outcomes is able to surprise the audience and to keep them reading as the audience is waiting to see the “Happily ever after” (pg.
Amleth versus Hamlet Hamlet is a classic story written by one of the biggest authors in history, William Shakespeare. But it is interesting to know that Hamlet is based off a story written by Saxo Grammaticus titled Historia Danica. Even though both stories have a number of comparisons, there are also many differences. However, when choosing which storyline is better, the latter one wins. Hamlet has moments which catapult it to extraordinary drama, making readers, like myself, more eager to read along.
She's gonna read us the Cinderelly story. Shh. Pom Pom. Come on, Gus! " Cinderella and the prince lived happily ever after.
“Tartuffe reminds me of a grown up version of a Dr. Seuss book.” says Casey McCall, who plays Mariane, “It really is a great Show, and I think that people will enjoy it a lot.” The audience is in for quite the surprise when they see this show. They’ll be shocked to see how many parallels there are in modern life to a play that was written centuries ago. Every audience member will be able to connect to a character, whether they’re the religious hypocrite, the person who speaks out of place to fight for what’s right, or the young boy having their love seduced by another man who we all know
Arielle Coulter Movie Review 1 10/2/13 Red Dog There is something extraordinary about story telling. When we are young we need fairy tales to stimulate our growing imaginations. As we age, so does our need for stories; the stories grow with us. We go from sitting on Daddy’s lap with an old worn book to sitting around a fire, walking down memory lane with an old timer. From tales of slaying dragons, magical fairies, and ‘once upon a time’s’ to tales of heartache, magical moments and ‘I remember a time when’s.’ We are all suckers for a good story and even bigger suckers for the ones that are or could be true.
They would play practical jokes on the travelers, and this is what Hal encounters in his play. Many of these connections between all of the characters and Edwards life is a big part of the authorship debate, and it is what Oxfordians like to use when they are arguing over who wrote the works. Because the authorship debate between Edward de Vere, the 17th earl of Oxford, and William Shakespeare has gone on for many years, many arguments have started, and much has been proven. The way Edwards education was far superior to shakespeares, how he had connections to Queen elizabethan, and how his personal life connected to many characters from many plays are all very strong and valid proof that Edward de Vere is is the true author of the works from shakespeare, and not the man who just took credit for unbelievable stories, plays, and many
Maria Clesi ED 170 TV Paper The three shows that I watched were Sid the Science Kid: The Big Sneeze for my educational show, The Magic School Bus: Gets Ready, Set, Dough for my cartoon, and I watched Tinker Bell for my G rated movie. All of these shows I found on Netflix, which made everything a little easier. Sid the Science Kid is a very educational show to begin with. I chose the episode ‘The Big Sneeze’ because it’s the time of year that children are starting to get sick and this is an excellent lesson on why we should wash our hands. The show opens with Sid and his friends singing the theme song, then cuts to Sid in his bedroom introducing himself.
Daniel Morin Intellectual Simplicity 15,029 words Dr. Eugene Young Eng 361.07 May 1, 2007 In literature, it is the goal and purpose of the reader to delve as deeply as they can into the depths of a text. In doing so, an intelligent reader then draw parallels, uncovers symbols and metaphors, finds allegories, allusions, etc. The purpose of this is the readers thirst for an intelligent, poignant, and beautiful work of art. As a reader, I found a strong parallel between the works of Cormac McCarthy and Robert Frost. The link between these two men is strongest with McCarthy’s All the Pretty Horses and Frost’s “The Road not Taken”.
