Schaeffer's The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe

He takes seven common misperceptions that the society portrays of the arts and reveal how valuable the arts are in

At first glance, “The Changeling” written by Judith Ortiz Cofer and the fantasy movie “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” directed by Andrew Adamson and based on the chronological novel, “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” by C.S. Lewis seemed to be comparable in the unique ways that would surprise the audiences. The main similarity between the movie and the poetry struck me instantly when I read the poem. The fact that both works depict a little girl that act strong, imaginative, and playful, but upon further inspection, the fantasy element both possesses are similar as well. Even thought they were written around four decades apart, with “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” using elements from World War

Macbeth, one of William Shakespeare’s most famous plays, is a tragedy about one man rising to the top to subsequently fall. The Lion King is an animated Disney movie about a lion cub learning about life while on the run following his father’s death. The Lion King and Macbeth compare to certain multitudes, as well as contrast to a certain degree. Similarities and differences between the movie and play are shown between Duncan and Mufasa, Malcolm and Simba, Macbeth and Scar, the three witches and Rafiki, and the theme of appearance versus reality. Similar to King Duncan, Mufasa was a fantastic king.

The same idea of situational greatness can be applied to writing. No single quality is the be all end all for great writing, but there are common themes across great essays. Some characteristics of the best essays are exceptional structure, artistic imagery, and writing that elicits empathy. Two essays that had exceptional structure were William Zinsser’s essay

After the battle, he was given the name “King Peter the Magnificent.” These three children are on Aslan’s side, but Edmund is a different story. Edmund was described as “treacherous.” During his first trip into Narnia, he sided with the White Witch, who is comparable to the devil, and agreed to bring back the rest of the children for dreadful purposes. In contrast with the other children’s paths, Edmund falls into the hands of the Witch and struggles throughout the story to seek a stronghold, which he eventually finds through Aslan.

According to him the artistic field is defined as a system where we struggle with the appropriation of cultural capital, and takes advantage of our economic status to “build” status. In other words, the only reason we buy and appreciate art is because it will lift us higher in the social hierarchy. Here he ignores the experience, the feeling and emotional connection we get when looking at art. He . (Battani, 2011)

A little girl named Lucy discovers a secret portal to a mysterious land called Narnia. She mets a faun and is taken into a cave for tea and spounge cake. The rest of the siblings don 't believe her when she comes back telling them what happened. Her older brother Edmund finds himself coming into the land. He gets approached by the White witch to bring the rest of his siblings.

2011 The article presents the author's insights on the subjective opinions of people who are involved in art when it comes to good art, bad art and questions of quality. The author says that these people have different beliefs when it comes to a good work, in which some may state that Jeff Koons is a first-rate artist and some may not. He also compares artists' work aesthetics including Piet Mondrian to Ellsworth Kelly, Henri Matisse to Balthus, and Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn to Corot. Schäfer, Martin Jörg.

This endeavor is to present a unique combination of visual art with literature. Visual art in literature is commonly referred to as “Ekphraisis”*, or as Horace coined his famous dictum “Ut picture poesis”*. Several other writers have rejected the idea of Ekphraisis, based on the fact that language is linear while visual art is spatial. I suggest that our ancients were correct in instituting a relation between the words and art. I feel that one can accomplish a greater understanding of the two if they are either compared or understood in companionship reading, running parallel to each other.

The good side that is shown is through the four children, Aslan, Mr. Tumnus, and everyone else that is on Aslan’s army in Narnia. In the novel Aslan the lion is seen as the main protagonist because he always saves the day when fighting against the White Witch. Whenever Aslan comes back to Narnia the people that fear the White Witch feel safe again. The people that are stuck in Narnia with the White Witch try to stay out of her way and go behind her back to help each other. Humans are not allowed in the world of Narnia by the White Witch because she knows one day that a son of Adam and a daughter of Eve will take over, “The White Witch is worried about the presence of four humans in Narnia because of a prophecy that four humans will eventually become rulers in Narnia, ending her evil reign”(Brown).The evil is clearly shown by the Witch, she is an antagonist who plots the death of Aslan and puts a spell on Narnia which makes it winter forever.

Firstly, by comparing the paintings of Jean‐Michel Basquiat Basquiat and Thomas Kinkade, one may come to see that the possession of a profound emotional quality should, rightly, elevate those objects that hold this over those that do not. Secondly, if one is not assessing something on the basis of its emotionality, one can assess it on the basis of its aesthetic refinement, as is proven when one looks to the cases of the Barcelona Pavilion and Trump Tower. Finally, another method that one may use to gauge cultural value is by questioning a subject’s intellectual strength, an approach demonstrated through the comparison between the sophisticated creations of Miuccia Prada and the boorish products of Philip

It strongly requires the feeling of existence and it is gathered in the soul consequently. Otherwise, we can make such assumption: for the sake of the objectiveness of beauty, everyone in the world should share the same cognition and the same aesthetic criterion of beauty. Then here comes the question: how come can we contradict or even debate on our aesthetic feeling of those masterpiece or calligraphy works? From this aspect, the objectivity of beauty cannot be verified. Hume, in his book, “A Treatise of Human Nature”, defines beauty as an expression of a subjective order that reflects our nature, customs, or capricious inclinations (Hume, 1740).

Aslan and the siblings fight against the evil White Witch in order to prevent her from reigning Narnia with despotism. The idea of both sides having an army creates a good amount of characters for the movie as if it was not just the White Witch versus the siblings and Aslan. The conflict between the two groups (societies) significantly leads to one of the main themes of the story —— Good versus Evil, for which we can argue that it kind implies the World War 2 situation outside. For this conflict, each key character has contributed to it and the audiences can personally choose to either hate or like them.

He concludes that the reason people find approval for certain works is because the works possess features which cause the approval. He further notes that these features are part of “general observations, concerning what has been universally found to please in all countries and ages” (231). He refers to these observations as rules: rules of art, composition, and criticism. From his observation on the common sense of taste, Hume derives his rule of art standard for taste.

The feeling of pleasure when evaluating a piece of art is when the person who is evaluating finds intentional content in beauty. People often make judgements based off of they 're own virtues and values, therefore subjectively perceiving in favor of the work. Kant points out that there is a surface and deep account of pleasure in beauty, deep relating to the use of the imagination and understanding of a work of art. Kant also points out that a person can be intrigued by a sense of
