Do you like adventures? Would you like to be taken to a world full of action and romance? If you do, then Frog Princess by E.D. Baker is the perfect book for you. Once you start reading, you will not want to stop until the last word. I loved how the story depicts an image of someone always willing to be optimistic and helpful to those in need. After Princess Emeralda turned into a frog, Prince Eadric in frog form pointed out “at least you have a friend with you.” This is a great example of an optimistic character helping to lift someone’s spirit. In addition. A part that I really enjoyed from the story was the ending where Prince Eadric proposed to the princess after she helped to turn him back into a man. This showed that it was more than

The book is well-written because there is an extensive background on the characters in the book.

The fantasy is about Buttercup, a milkmaid, and Westley, a farm boy, who fall in love and have to face many obstacles. The story mainly develops the themes of true love and revenge.

For example, in the book, the author has dedicated four to five pages to understand Inigo’s and Fezzik’s past.

The Princess Bride is an average book, meaning that there were interesting parts and some parts that were not engaging. I enjoyed how they included great detail when describing everyone’s live and what shaped them throughout time because it gives you an overview on what the character is like. Although I didn 't like how during the story when something interesting is happening, the author, William Goldman, would interrupt and spoil some parts, because as a reader, I like to find out what happens without having to stop in the middle of the story. Lastly, since I do not enjoy fantasy books, I did catch myself throughout the book zoning out because some parts were just not interesting and I didn’t like how the author would ramble on at some points.

Fourth, the characters were extremely basic and had little to no development at all. None of them really displayed any differences and were very stereotypical. In addition to the characters, Maxon Schreave is definitely not an ideal prince the author tried to make him seem. Not knowing any of the girls' names, being completely awkward with everyone, but at the same time charming all the young women? Fifth, the plot was very deranged.

Congratulations on the take-off of your writing career and the debut of your bestselling Young Adult novel Red Queen! I love how Red Queen focuses more on character development and world building rather than romance. The overarching social issues presented in the book were never glossed over by the budding romance themes. Once the romantic elements began edging towards center stage, it didn’t feel forced; it felt organic and well-worth it. I thought this book was fairly entertaining.

The movie “The Princess and the Frog” is not your typical “boy saves girl” movie. Instead, this Disney movie presents us with a strong female lead who doesn’t need a man to achieve her goals. In many previous Disney movies, it is demonstrated that a girl needs a man in order to get her happily ever after. Without a prince, she is nothing. In “The Princess and the Frog” the gender roles are presented to us as equal, even reverse at times.

Atwood began the story as the female lead being beautiful, but changed her to being average looking, and changes the stereotypical evil stepmother to an evil stepfather. On the contrary, Perrault follows the basic generic conventions of fairy tales by having the prince marry the beautiful princess and writes the main antagonists as two older women. Perrault uses his story to frame the prince as the hero who saves the sleeping princess and her kingdom, and later saves his family from his evil cannibalistic mother. Perrault’s story has more of a magical aspect than Atwood’s since he includes fairies and curses in his story. Perrault’s story offers an escape from the trials and

Idealism and Realism are two strongly opposed views of foreign policy. At the core of this opposition is the issue of power and security in politics. Realism establishes a separation between politics and ethics in order to understand and comprehend international events. Realists don’t oppose morality to politics, nor power to law, but rather oppose the utopian peaceful society to the nature of society.
