A film that is dramatically devastating is characterized by the transforming character dynamics, vintage setting, and compelling dialogue while inconsistent in its authenticity.

According to Victor and Edith Turner, a liminoid pilgrimage is a “[rite] of transition marked by three phases: separation, limen or margin, and aggregation” (p. 2). In Stephen Sondheim's Into The Woods, all of the characters go to the woods and take part in those same three phases outlined by the Turners.

Power is having the possession of control, authority, or influence over others. In our lives power can have a positive effect or negative effect depending on how it is used. People are always wanting power and are willing to do almost anything to gain it; one can do a tremendous amount with that power, both good and bad. When one is hungry enough for power, he or she will become greedy and a multitude of problems can arise just like it had for Koba in the movie “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes”, a franchise of “Planet of the Apes”. “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” builds a satisfying movie through the theme of control and leadership which creates visual attraction and emotional characters.
Where the Wild Things are by Maurice Sendak is an interesting children’s picture book. The main character is a little boy named Max, who has a wild imagination. He uses all five senses as well as thought and his actions to express his personality as well as how he reacts and interacts with his surroundings.

Parents are everyone 's first role models. Regardless of biological relation, those who raise us have a profound influence on the way we perceive and interpret life. Parents lay the foundation of our first sense of morality and empathy, and usher us to the path of our development of social skills. No matter how consciously one may attempt to have no resemblance to their parents, it is an inevitability of life that we will harness aspects of their influence and carry them through our lifetime. In Mary Shelley’s, “Frankenstein”, the influence of parental figures is displayed by the morals and values instilled in the monster.
