Argumentative Essay On Disney

“A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...” This quote which is seen at the beginning of every Star Wars movie almost immediately sparks pleasant memories in the minds of everyone, but contrary to what is being said the events of Star Wars are not as far from home as you would first assume. It is due to this closeness that Star Wars could be The American Epic. This closeness is from the inspiration for the events of Star Wars, the values Americans can share with the characters within, and the outlook on the world seen within. George Lucas used many diverse sources for inspiration in his story many of which came from real events in history such as the Vietnam war, Nazi Germany, and more.

Ewoks V.S. Polyphemus Imagine this: you land on Endor after barely escaping evil Empire and get trapped in a GIANT net, then you meet a tribe of living teddy bears, who try to cook and eat you. Or you land on an island after several days at sea, and meet a giant cyclops who then eats 6 of your crewmates and you barely escape. This is true villainy, because a villain is usually a cruelly malicious person who is involved in or devoted to wickedness or crime; scoundrel; or a character in a play, novel, or the like, who constitutes an important evil agency in the plot. Homer’s Polyphemus from the Odyssey and George Lucas’ Ewoks from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi fit this description exactly, but the Ewoks fit it better. Polyphemus, the strong, dumb, overconfident cyclops is a good villain, but then again vicious, smart, patient Ewoks are better.

They all have lost their respect for others due to arrogance, making them villains. A villain is someone that is so full of him or herself that they forget to keep the integrity of another

Have you ever thought about how a single action can set off a chain of events that ultimately determines the course of a story? In John Steinbeck's classic novel, "Of Mice and Men," this concept is shown through the character of Lennie. First, Lennie is the catalyst for the events of the novel; without Lennie's actions, the story would not exist in the same way. However, Lennie's importance goes deeper than his role as a catalyst. Lennie's inability to control his strength and impulses leads to disaster in the novel.

The stepmother has two daughters who are filled with jealousy and envy. Ever since becoming Cinderella’s stepmother, she has treated Cinderella differently than her two daughters. Cinderella was turned into a servant in her own house, and she could not do anything. When “the king of the castle invited his son to a fancy ball he said he could choose his bride”.

People are naturally biased, meaning they are uncomfortable with events that contradict societal norms. This shows very strongly in the story Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck where the story highlights Lennie who has special needs, and the controversy surrounding how he is being accused of raping a girl in Weed, the town they had to flee, and towards the end Lennie suffocates and kills Curley’s wife. While some critics contend that the novel Of Mice and Men does not exhibit the literary merit that the conclusion of the novel and the general rhetoric of the story elicits a complex discussion and does not end in a cliche. However, the novel Of Mice and Men definitively shows literary merit through the discussion of people with mental disabilities,

The Villain is the main force opposing the Hero. They are cunning and determined, going to great extents to achieve their wish. Mordred, King Arthur’s son, is the classic Villain. The illegitimate son of King Arthur born out of wedlock with his half-sister Queen Margawse of Orkney, Mordred’s existence was not known by King Arthur. Merlin prophesied that King Arthur’s kingdom would be razed to the ground by Mordred and that Mordred did after he became a Knight of the Round Table.

Cinderella’s stepmother constantly gives her stepdaughter hard work to do, but Cinderella perseveres, which fuels her determination to attend the ball and become the prince’s bride. Although the task is unreasonable, for Cinderella’s embarrassment and suffering only, Cinderella does not give up. Her menial task only pushes Cinderella to want her opportunity to be with the prince more, proving her determination and the benefit of being allowed to go with her stepsisters, shown by, “Then you may go with us”. Cinderella is tired of the life she lives and desperately wants a new one. This is why the benefit of being able to attend the festival makes Cinderella determined to clean up her stepmother’s

Hailee Jaronko There are many horrific villains in movies. Some examples are Farquaad from Shrek, The Stepsisters from Cinderella, and the Evil Queen from Snow White. These characters are all cruel and disrespectful people who want to disturb others’ lives. Thankfully, other people in the world remind us that there are good people in life that are not all bad.

Unfortunately everyone has had to put down an animal at one point in their life, but is it acceptable to put down a fellow human? In the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, as readers, we are faced with this question. Everyday thousands of animals are put down because there is no hope of them having a family to care for them, but can we ever truly justify putting down a fellow human being because they require special care? Unlike pets or other animals, humans possess the ability to communicate clearly with others and reason with them. In this book George, Lennie’s “friend”, ends Lennie’s life, only with no verbal warning to Lennie.

In “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck, George made the right decision in shooting Lennie because Lennie did not know his own strength. Another reason is If George did not kill Lennie others would have killed him. However, the other side might argue that Lennie did not mean to kill Curley’s wife, thus he deserves to live. George should have killed Lennie because Lennie did not know his own strength, that is the reason why he killed many things by accident and caused many problems. “Why do you got to get killed?

The villain archetype is one of my favorite parts of any story. The villain, to me, is the most important part of a story. If the villain, or antagonist, of a story is poorly done, then the entire story falls flat. The villain creates the conflict, and conflict is what separates a good story, from a great one. There are the villains made from tragedy, others are made from traumatic childhoods, and others are just evil to be evil.

Walt Disney How did all these amusing and great Disney cartoons come to be? A man named Walt Disney, born in 1901 in Chicago, Illinois became known as “An American motion-picture, television producer, and showman,” (Biography). Walt Disney was the first to use color cel and became the ultimate game changer of animation. Disney revolutionized animation by creating a color cel, making a cartoon such as Snow White accessible to all Americans, and lastly founded a cartoon empire.

An interesting fact about Walt Disney’s Disney World is that on one of the four kingdom’s opening day, there was approximately around 10,000 people. Disney World has approximately 48 million visitors who annually come to the four kingdom parks for family vacations and other special occasions (www.orlando-florida.net).

As one of the two Disney World’s slogans says, Disney is “The Place where Dreams Come True”(disneyparks.disney.go.com).

If I say Snow White, what are you thinking then? You see in front of you seven dwarfs dancing happily together with an innocent little girl, don’t you? But you should know that the Snow White theme is one of the darkest and strangest to be found in the fairy tale world. The story Snow Glass and Apples is one of the darkest fairy tales we got.
