The only other thing the town contains is a hot air balloon brought from America by the wealthy Sugar Mill owner’s eccentric son. The father in the story, a character named Guy, is very poor and hardly ever gets a day’s work. The only other source of food or income for his family is through the mother, Lili, when she can manage to buy spices on credit and peddle them for a profit at the marketplace. The only hope they have as parents is that their son, Little Guy, who has a lead role in his school play as Boukman, the leader of the Haitian Revolution, will grow up well educated and become something more than the poor small town life they live. The final epiphany and resolution of the father, that it’s better to die having lived free, is brought on from the tantalizing image and idea of flying the hot air balloon that represents freedom to the father, the thoughts and emotions triggered by the powerful and significant speeches of Boukman, recited by the son, and the resentment of his life, and fathers life before him.
Charlie and Chocolate Factory is about a young boy named Charlie who was a very poor boy who lived with his sick grandparents and parents. Charlie ended up winning a contest to go to Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory to get a year supply of chocolate and a tour of the chocolate factory. The short story ‘Rich for One Day’ is about a young girl named Aline who lives life to the fullest and even though she only has eight dollars she still believes she is rich.

He worked so hard at convincing himself that he could recreate the past that he actually believed it could happen in his own mind. He hated his life as a kid because of the fact that he wasn’t rich. To Gatsby, the reason Daisy never married him was because he wasn’t wealthy, like Tom was. This triggered Gatsby to have a life goal. This life goal was everything he worked for, his entire life revolved around doing anything he can to become rich, and once he was rich then he would once again capture Daisy’s love for him again and they would get married back in Louisville at Daisy’s old house.
So he finds his real dad who’s name is Walter and he’s onw of those grumpy, workaholics that doesn’t really care about anything except making money.

Let’s scare people with how childlike I am and that I believe I’m from the North Pole even though normal people will think I belong in a mental hospital.

I think this a the difference between positive and negative effects of media and films. In the social aspect this has had a positive effect with media sales and fueled America financially. But I think it has a negative effect because we are constantly pointing the finger at who is responsible for a person’s actions.
However, Emperor Puyi is an emperor who never sees beyond his own grasp. He is taken to become emperor at a young age and from the infancy he is treated as a god, his every whim catered to, he grows to be a spoiled, selfish man. When he loses his seat of power, he wants nothing more than to get it back (after years of complaining about how he hated it) for his own selfish desires.

King Mongkut represents a great man who must make hard choices allowing the viewer to fall under his cloud of
