Disney Princess and Aladdin
The wicked Jafar, and his trusty parrot Iago, receive one half of an ancient scarab from the thief, Gazeem. Jafar reaches into his robes and produces the other half. As Jafar place the two halves together, the magic scarab being to glow and sparkle.
The scarab leaps out of Jafar's hands. "Quickly!" he shouts to his horse, "Follow the trail!" The scarab scuttles across the desert sands under the beautiful Arabian night sky with Jafar, Iago and Gazeem in fast pursuit
The scarab leads Jafar, Iago and Gazeem to a small mound of sand, it then slits in a half and plunges into the sand. A fierce tiger's head rises, roaring, from the desert. "Now remember," Jafar warns Gazeem. "Bring me the lamp. The rest of the treasure is yours, but the lamp is mine!
As Gazeem steps warily into the cave, the tiger-god bellows, "Only one may enter here, one whose worth lies deep within...the Diamond in the Rough!" The tiger-god's mouth clamps shut over the unfortunate Gazeem and the head dissapears back into the sand. "I must find this one- this Diamond in the Rough," Jafar tells Iago.
In the bustling city of Agrabah there is a lively and crowded marketplace. Merchants sell all kind of household items from pots and ladles to clothing, and olives the townspeople need for their everyday lives.
In Agrabah lives a young man called Aladdin. His only friend is Abu, a mischievous monkey, and his only food is what he can get by his wits.
Aladdin is always in trouble with the sultan's guards who call him a thief, but they can never catch him. Sometimes it takes all of Aladdin's mischief, for them to stay one step ahead of the guards.
Although Aladdin is starving, he is also generous. When he sees two little street urchins who look even hungrier then he is, he gives them the bread he has gone to so much trouble to get. Abu isn't quite as happy about giving up his half of the loaf!
When Prince Achmed rides into the marketplace on a magnificent, jeweled horse, Aladdin and Abu stare. How

    For example, in the novel, the bazaar is described as “merchants crying their wares; street musicians playing horns and lutes and drums; mule drivers cursing; women haggling; caged birds screeching; brass workers’ mallets pinging and clanging and bonging. Smells drifted past: sawdust, perfume, leather, dye, feathers, manure-all mingled with the ever-present odor of sweat” (Fletcher 81-82). The bazaar is described as a very busy place, constantly full of people trading goods. As well as that, it was a place for religious and social circles to unite. In the book Daily Life in Ancient and Modern Baghdad, author Dawn Kotapish writes “Merchants brought their goods to Baghdad’s crowded, noisy suqs (another word for a bazaar). Small, windowless stores opened onto narrow, crowded streets full of busy traders and shoppers. The suqs were divided up into areas that sold specific items. Merchants sold rice, grain, linen, silks, pearls, weapons, perfumes, dates, fruits and vegetables, glass, and mirrors. Shoppers could be sure of a good bargain with competitors sitting side by side. Merchants often offered their customers stools upon which to sit while examining goods and bargaining” (Kotapish 13). In this sense, the fictional novel is accurate because both texts describe the ancient bazaars as a crowded place that sold many wares. Although Fletcher gives the bazaar a much more hectic setting, it can be easily…

    Over the course of the past 80 years we have seen major growth in the company of Disney and the way it presents itself to the rest of the world. One of the many ways Disney presents itself is by the animated films they produce, more specifically, the princess films, that we all know and love. In this paper, I will explore the role and functions of the Disney princesses over the past 80 years and discuss their differences. In particular, the femme fatales we see when Walt Disney was in charge, and how it is the princess rather than the hero who becomes the central figure in these films. On the other side, I will look at Team Disney and how they turn the princesses from damsels to more democratic.…

Bansir then states that he had a particular dream the night before of him being so rich that he could share and spend as much as he wanted knowing he would still have money for him and his family to not worry. He then expresses that this dream was upsetting him because they have worked long and hard “yet to [have known] the joys of wealth”. Then goes along to remind his friend that much of them is shown by their wealth, as well as their work. How he is finally unblinded by the endless unhappy rut the have been walking for half a lifetime. Reading on you start to see that Bansir is more about reward in hard work while Kobbi leans toward the easy way of getting rich. This is shown when the long line of “water bearers” walk through Babylon “bent under” heavy goatskins of water to the gardens. Kobbi states that the man leading them with only a bell is a “prominent man of his county” while on the other hand Bansir empathizes with the men carrying the loads on their back saying they are also good men, no better than themselves. They then start to remember their old friend Arkad, who is claimed to be…

    Victory seems imminent for Abraha. Yet when the army advances to the fringes of the city, headed by its lead elephant, the creature stops unexpectedly and refuses to go any further towards the direction of Makkah. No amount of budging will make this beast go towards the direction of conquest, yet when the army turn it around, it is more than willing to go back. Suddenly from the distant horizon, a huge flock of birds is seen. Ominously it makes its way to the scene of the battle. In their beaks and claws the birds carry with them stones. Like lightning do they descend upon the confused army of Abraha and pelt them viciously with the stones. The stones start to cut and tear away at the bodies of these aggressors and reduce them to helpless wretches. The army of the tyrant are sent back in humiliation. It is no less than a miracle which has saved this sacred city.[2]…

    Ali Baba, who expected a dull, dismal place, was greatly surprised to find it large and well lighted, hollowed by the hand of man in the form of a vault, which received the light from an opening in the ceiling. He saw rich bales of merchandise -- silk, stuff-brocades, all piled together, and gold and silver in heaps, and money in leather purses. He went in and the door shut behind him. He did not look at the silver, but brought out as many bags of gold as he thought his asses, which were browsing outside, could carry, loaded them with…
