    Even though the two heros in Princess Bride and Copper Sun have many similarities, they also have an abundance of differences. Amari is the protagonist of the book Copper Sun, which talks about her life as an abused slave. Wesley is the lead character of the movie Princess Bride; in the movie, he leaves his beloved Buttercup to make enough money to support them and has to come save her when she is about to marry Humperdinck, the prince and the man she does not love. These two stories may seem completely different but they have more in common than what meets the eye. Both Amari and Wesley survive their quests with determination and they fight for what they believe is important. A good example of when Amari shows determination is when she comes upon a river that lies between her and freedom, “We come too far to stop now” (Draper 84%). She is so close to her goal she is unwilling to stop now just like when Wesley is on the verge of death and he still forces himself to get up and fight for Buttercup, “I told you I would always come for you” (The Princess Bride). However, they have multiple differences, one of which is how Amari is not afraid to show emotion and Wesley’s emotion is in absence when he is the Man in Black. Both protagonists are very comfortable and secure in their hometowns, but they are both briskly ripped away from their comfort zone when they are obligated to start their quests. Amari lives in a relatively poor area of Africa and Westley lives on a farm in his medieval universe. These courageous heroes must find their way through a dangerous quest; their journeys have similarities and differences but the importance is what compels them to complete their quest.…

    The Princess Bride is fantastical novel written by William Goldman. The novel is written under the façade of being an abridged version of S. Morgenstern’s fictitious “classic tale of true love and high adventure”, which Goldman has generously decided to abridge and cut the “boring parts” out of. Goldman’s journey to abridge the timeless classic provides the frame story for the main story, which is set in a semi-historic medieval society, utilizing multiple POV switches throughout the novel as well as an an omniscient narrator—Goldman. The inner story follows Princess Buttercup, the most beautiful woman in the world, as she is kidnapped by a trio of hired bandits posing as circus performers—Vizzini, the devil Sicilian, Fezzik the Giant, and…

    The 2011 movie “Bridesmaids” acted as a catalyst for female-driven movies and TV shows. This movie was a first for the film industry; a successful R-rated comedy with female-centric themes, and people loved it. Writer Kay Cannon stated; “'Bridesmaids' I think opened up a door to allow women to show a bunch of different women in different ways of being funny.” This box-office hit also allowed for women to be better accepted in the comedy community, where there is generally more men. Along with just being accepted, women want to change how they are portrayed in the media. Most people believe that a woman will be able to write about a woman better than a man could. Actress Anna Kendrick would agree; “There's something to women writing for themselves,…

    When I was a little girl, I always believed a hero, perhaps a young prince, would save me from my awful parents. That prince would be my hero and we would live happily ever after. I know now, that’s not realistic, yet the media keeps pushing this ridiculous idea on little girls everywhere. They wait, in despair, for a prince who will never arrive. Heroes like this are classified into several schemas in literature. An epic hero is superhuman in contrast to the romantic hero who has humanistic faults but also his own strength. Each hero type has determination to accomplish something whether it be saving the girl or saving the village, but they differ in their actions. In Rob Reiner’s, The Princess Bride, he uses the…

    As Americans, our instinct is to close ourselves off to cultures. Instead, we transplant our culture and lifestyle into other countries; for example, the presence of the mega food chains McDonalds and Starbucks in almost every nation across the globe. But if we were to open ourselves up, even slightly, we would see that some cultures have much of their beautiful history and traditions to offer. In our modernized and technically advanced society, there are many ways to go about this, one prime example being to watch a foreign, or international, movie. "The Syrian Bride", the 2004 critically acclaimed film, contains not only a viewpoint and experience from a different country and culture, but enriches it's audience on the struggles some face indifferent parts of the world.…

    • 670 Words
    • 3 Pages

    In Book 6, Tolstoy tries to make use of Anna Karenina’s minor characters to create new themes in the novel. First, in the theme of love, he pairs up Levin’s brother Sergei with Kitty’s old friend Varenka. Second, he uses Veslovsky’s character to show how he affects Levin’s tendencies towards his relationship with Kitty. Veslovsky is perceived in Book 6 as someone who is always trying to ruin the moment for Levin and Kitty. Furthermore, we can also see in Book 6 how Tolstoy compares the personal life of Anna and Dolly. He does this by situating Dolly in the everyday routine of Anna in the city.…
