The Westwood Children Imagine you are a small child, with all the wonders in the world. One beautiful day, you decide to join your two brothers in an outside adventure.

Before the fun is almost lost, you and your brothers take your findings inside to perhaps keep as a trophy or reminder of the day.
He was known to have worked with Adobe, Google, Electronic Arts (EA) and Walt Disney Imagineering. But The Last Lecture was not based on his field of study, but about what he learned about life from these experiences. The book is about what he believes it means to live a good life, therefore, any prejudices are null and void. Pausch wrote this book as a way to impart his values and beliefs to his three young children after he has passed on. Pausch’s inspiring words have led The Last Lecture to become a New York Times best-seller in June 2008 as well as a National best-seller.
One eye occasionally blinks more slowly than the other, but no matter. He turns, compliantly, this way and that when asked. About four minutes into the footage, someone places the iconic round glasses on him, and there he is: Harry Potter, boy wizard, the chosen one. The adult voice on the video says: “Those look good.” Within weeks, Radcliffe, officially cast as Harry Potter, was sitting at a news conference before a roomful of cameras and reporters. One of his first questions from the media: “How do you feel about becoming famous?” Radcliffe brightened: “It’ll be cool!” The crowd laughed.
Walt Disney was an artist, animator, cartoonist and dreamer. From an early age Walt drew and painted pictures which he then went out and sold to his neighbors (Walt Disney Biography, 2013). Perhaps it was Walt Disney’s upbringing, perhaps not. But Walt Disney was cultivating a unique reality that families want to spend time in. It is a testament to the strength of his talents and dreams that it has prospered over his creations of Steamboat Willie and Silly Symphonies, after his distributor Margaret Winkler and her husband, Charles Mintz, had stolen the rights to Oswald, along with all of Disney’s animators, except for Ub Eert Iwerks (Walt Disney Biography, 2013).
Then he thought of it, Mickey Mouse! Mickey Mouse was created to bring joy to people in the midst of the Great Depression. Mickey’s happy spirit is what made him popular.

case 2: Build-a-Bear workshop: where best friends are made is the build-a-bear workshop concept a fad, o does it have staying power? | | Build-A-Bear Workshop has a concept that has staying power because they are creating new experiences at the time kids buy their own stuffed animal. The experience begins when kids get to pick their favorite stuffed animal, then they go through eight stations to create it, and its not just going through all these steps in a hurry, in every single one kids get involved a lot more in the “creation” of their stuffed animal. For example they get to choose among some qualities and they have to warm up the heart. The final step is when kids choose some clothes among all the options this retailer offers, and there is a possibility that kids find some outfit that might be like their own style.
Elvis made people believe that they too, could accomplish something extraordinary, even if they were an average citizen. As Bruce Springsteen so delicately puts it, “...it was like he came along and whispered some dream in everybody’s ear, and somehow we all dreamed it.” Little children love visiting Disney World because it is a place filled with dreams, magic, hope, and love, all seemingly attainable. Elvis is Disney World personified for many people, because his outlook on life was so refreshing and full of these ideals that most entertainers don’t bother to cultivate. Elvis humble beginnings helped to shape his personality and appreciate what truly matters in the world. With a strong focus early in his life on faith and spirituality, as well as family ties, Elvis was able to have a strong foundation in his youth growing up in poverty.
For me, it’s my grandpa. But when I was small, I couldn’t say “Grandpa,” so 13 years ago, Theodore Lazarus became Paw Paw. To all the grandkids, Paw Paw was full of fun and games. We all remember his favorite expressions, the ones that would pop out each time we saw him. Luckily, we visited Paw Paw quite often.
As she told her Father “I was not afraid, you held my hand.” Going to the circus is usually a fun experience for most children; especially if it is their first time. The children are so excited and ask many questions. In line sixteen Anne tells her dad how she remembers when he explained to her the danger of three rings. The reference to the "naughty clown" in line eight-teen is most likely a staff member that did not warn the audience of what was
Randy delivers his talk to “an unexpected full house of 400” (Pausch, 15), and proves to both the world and himself that he is still alive. Quote #1: “If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want our legacy” (Pausch, 3)? This quotation is important because it provides a foundation for the entire work of literature. Since Randy has been given such a short period of time to live, he seeks to leave his “last lecture” for his children as his legacy. Randy spends most of his time during the first section of the book reliving his life through old photos and memories.
