Witch And Wizard The Kiss Analysis

216 Words1 Pages
In the novel, Witch and Wizard: The Kiss, there’s a very savvy protagonist who has breath-taking magical abilities, and a wild persona. The protagonist, Witsy Allgood, is a seventeen-year old girl who is of tall height and stunning red hair. Witsy is a witch with vast powers (she is gifted with the abilities of shapeshifting, pyrokinesis, and electrokinesis), and she seems to know how to control her powers very well. In earlier stages of her life, she bursts into flames, turns Byron Swain into a lion and a weasel, turns herself into a mouse, and is able to freeze people and animals around her. Unfortunately, despite her gifted talents, she doesn’t exactly think openly before using them. On page 18 of the novel, she dismisses Byron after telling him “Shut up, Byron” by morphing him into a squeaking weasel. After morphing Byron into a weasel, she proceeds by saying “I should just leave you like this – your true form.” I believe that those quotes and actions done by Witsy show her immaturity and how she isn’t worthy of her extraordinary powers. Despite that, she doesn’t just use her powers for fun and games, she has defeated The One Who Is The One, the previous evil dictator of the Overworld, with her and her brother’s

As a Psychology major, I am taught to analyze people in an objective and holistic way. More than once, all humans tend to fall into the trap of the fundamental attribution error. The FAE is the claim that, in contrast to interpretations of their own behavior, people place undue emphasis on internal characteristics of the agent (character or intention), rather than external factors, in explaining another person’s behavior. This means that people tend to accuse a person's errors on internal factors, instead of how external factors can lead to errors. As I was reading “I’d

Julie Taymor’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream film adaptation creates a fantastical spin on the well-known Shakespeare play. The director is able to create an effective dream-like setting with the use of projections, lighting, and puppetry. From the beginning, there is a sense of wonder created, as without word or introduction, Puck, played by Kathryn Hunter, glides onto stage and lays down on a mattress supported by branches. Puck is then lifted into the air and a large white sheet consumes the stage. Even for those familiar with the play, such as myself, it immediately commands your mind to travel to the dream world Taymor has created.

In the painting, Kiss Me and You’ll kiss the ‘Lasses, Lily Martin Spencer used a woman holding a spoon and the title to demonstrate the beginning of challenging gender roles which relates to John Steinbeck’s cynical tone about gender roles and stereotyping in The Grapes of Wrath, thus proving that despite how far society seems to have come when it comes to gender equality, people still endure discrimination and stereotypical pressures today because of the sex they were born into. The woman in the picture is smiling at whoever is painting her or whoever is looking at her. The person, most likely a man, is tempted to kiss her but she warns, with the title, that if he does so she’ll hit him with the spoon she has in her hands. Also it’s ironic that the lady who

“What the three ladies infer about Lily Daw” In the story “Lily Daw and the Three Ladies”, we are introduced to our three ladies who are: Mrs. Carson, Mrs. Watts and Aimee. These three ladies speak about a young girl who seems to have some sort of disability or as mentioned in the story was “feebleminded”, this young girl goes by name of Lily Daw.
