The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe

305 Words2 Pages

The journey of imagination and fright in a lions eye. When it comes to a child's imagination and fairy tale daydream, In my opinion, the film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe captures the essence of a fairy tale land and their duty in that land which is to be either a king, queen or another type of authority figure. A child's imagination is once again brought up and seen in the film where imaginary and multi-cultural animations and animals are used which emphasizes the genre of fantasy and adventure. From an adults perspective it may seem impossible and childish to believe in these animations and animals but this film creates dimension and captivates the audience. This can be seen as a strength and it allows the

    The lights on the christmas tree shone different colors across the faces of the children as they roasted marshmallows in the fireplace. Half empty hot chocolates sat beside them. How the Grinch Stole Christmas played over the television set, not quite drowned out by the children's laughter and discussions of what presents they would be getting the next morning. The man, in this moment, couldn’t help but notice just how beautiful his wife was. The way her nose crinkled up, when she laughed with the children, the way she snuggled closer to him while watching the movie.

    How the Grinch Stole Christmas”, also known as “The Grinch”, is a 2000 family-based, Christmas-themed, comedy film delivered by Universal and Imagine Entertainment and based on the 1957 children’s picture book written by Dr. Seuss of the same name. Directed by Ron Howard (who also directed “Splash”, “Rush”, and “The Dilemma”), “The Grinch” was the first full-length feature film adapted from the series of outstanding and beloved Dr. Seuss tales. Since the film was the first to be based off one of Seuss’s famous children's books, many additions had to be made to the storyline to make the film fit the era’s “standards” by bringing it up to feature-length, leaving the young and older audience intrigued, and most importantly keeping the legacy of Dr. Seuss's works intact. In addition, this included adding some vivid information about the

    Comparison Essay Friendship is a relationship the everyone has whether its with the same sex or opposite sex. The importance of friendship means you have to trust one another, have somewhat of the same interests, and you can get along. Friends stick together no matter what and have a bond with each other that no one else has.

One message both authors explain in their stories is that friendships can happen under unusual circumstances.

    First of all, the first tale told by the monster taught me to reserve my judgement until the facts are out. Having assumptions are acceptable, but it is different when it comes to judgements. The first tale is a classic fairytale which is mainly about the battle of the prince and the stepmother in winning the throne. It illustrates the queen as a murderer who killed the king and the prince’s beloved in order to become and stay as the ruler. However, there is another version of that story and this version of the story is what caught my eye and kept me interested in watching.
