Literary anaylisis of “Willow”
Imagine a life in which you were taunted by your small stature were constantly in hiding, you were the hunted not the hunter; your life would be in turmoil well this is the case in the fantasy tale of a small village who comes upon a baby and the baby is the princess of a kingdom and has been cast upon a small little village that doesn’t have much strength, and needs to journey through thick and thin, callled Willow by Ron Howard and George Lucas. This is a story of love and loss as Willow a lonley “peck” trying to find his way, to get a baby safe and to his rightful spot on the throne.
The purpose of this film is to show the purpose and symbolism of romance, there are many ones proven is this movie. A lot of the settings were in the morning which helps out the purpose of a comedy, by showing that it’s a new beginning a rebirth. It goes through phases in the movie, like when madmartigan is in love with sorsha and even though he was under a spell the first time, he had a sudden realization that he really did like her. Then she finds feelings for him, even though she claims she doesn’t like him either. Afterward in the end she finds out she has a passion for him and turns against Bavmorda to be with him and risks her whole being, just for him.
The reasons why this film is a romance, is because it has a lot of passion and care for each other, like willow didn’t want any trouble with the baby, but still went to take it anyway, even though he couldn’t support it much. The whole tribe was helpless they were left for dead they would be attacked endlessly until they found the baby, and they wouldn’t stop until it was found, and they would kill anything in there way. The villager’s hated the baby and wanted It gone they couldv’e thrown it back in the river, but instead they told someone to go take the baby the safety.
Later, a conflict arises; the baby ends-up floating down the river and Willow ends up finding it. Then later takes it in, which leads to the huge chain of events. Afterward they make Willow and one warrior; later along the way finding madmartigan and having him join there team. Then the conflict arises more and more since their trying to elude the evil princess. Then after there is a resolution within the life symbolism the kingdom is finally free’d for a new beginning and evil is laughable and weak, good has over come evil and has won.
In conclusion I think this can show the relation ship between different races like hispanics, african americans, and even chinese all should be treated fairly just like how the humans got along with the dwarfs, even though they fought at times they still were inseperable, because still in today’s world there are many racist people.

Ugly duck essay

The Ugly Duckling
Imagine being a outcast among your own kind and your family, having no were to go, no dreams or future in the eyes of your peer’s. You are a for sure outcast you are nothing, your considered a freak. Your own parents hate you what would you do. In this sad tale of a baby swan whos casted as an ugly duck has to find his way through thick and rough patchs in his life. In this adventrerous story called “The Ugly Duckling” by Hans Christian Anderson.
I believe the mode of this story is a Romance, because first off it has plenty of symbols in it then there is the fact that it takes place in the winter and spring and shows the symbolizm of gold and beautiful shining colors and it has baby animals in it. It has a reason for this unkinness, it contains different types of escapism one is he just flies away from his flock, the other is he leaves behind the thought of being hated and ugly. He also is in a world of his own, he doesn’t care about the other people’s words or comments he minds his own he hasn’t hurt anyone but people harm him which is mean, but he still ignores.
The main reasons that make this story a romance is it’s pretty unrealistic, because there is no duck that can talk in the human tongue, and there are no ducks that beat up on another duck, they may fight, but not peck and beat up. Then finally there is the fact that a duck can’t or wouldn’t hatch a swan egg. Next of course if its unrealistic it will most likely have some type of fantasy vision, which was the duck wanted to become a swan, but thought he was a duck so he couldn’t. The duck is in control of what he was doing he ran away, he did nothing he just took whatever they threw at him. Even though everyone scolded him he still was fine and didn’t know of the good future that awaits him.
Then what the plotline of this fits romance perfectly there is a minor conflict, the duck is ugly even though it’s really a swan, then there life symbolism throughtout the story there’s rebirthing of the duck he turned into a beautiful swan and didn’t get made fun of, but was honored and cared for. He also did have a family he just didn’t have caring in the family which was a small problem in his life.
In the end I think that this story relates to everyday life, especially with kids and teen’s, because there are kids who are outcasted and shunned for wanting to be a part of a group which is just wrong because everyone should be treated fairly and evenly, but at the same time people cast them away even there own friends sometimes…

The Story of an Hour
The story of an hour has Tragedy written all over, mainly for just the wife because she hates her husband, and wants him dead which is pretty tragic and gets even more interesting when she finds out or thinks he's dead but he's not he's still alive which for most wifes that would break their heart but she was happy... but, when she found out he was not dead she become sad... which also at the same time is ironic.

Writting Goal
I want to have bigger and more descrptive words to write essay's, which would help by combining sentences and show the emotion in what your trying to write.
To build a fire
There was Man vs Himself because he thought his idea's were right and relied on his own will, which lead him to disaster. When I was younger I was biking and I crashed into a fence and a log was rolled on top of me and I tried to lift it off but if I dropped it, it would've crushed me.
