    A Christmas Carol is a short story, not very long at all as I read it today and found some interesting differences between the book by Dickens and the movie incantations. Most of the movies I have seen pretty much have the same screenplay, it seems, with some small differences in most and some have a scene or two the others don't.…

    The first movie that I chose was Disney’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. I know it sounds cheesy and overuse but I feel that this movie describes my creative side. This movie has always boosted me up to be creative and create art. This movie is very beautiful in animation, especially since it is stop clay animation. This movie has some very creative characters like the Mayor, Lock, Shock, and Oogie Boogie and each character had a different view on everything. I love making weird creative art because no one else in the world will have it. I love making my own stories with my drawings and this movie can always get me out of my artist block when I am in…

    I think one of the themes in this book is that in life sometimes someone can have the best intenitons to change people and change a culture, but it doesent work and the person conforms to that life. On the otherhand one reason the person intiontentions of new ideas might not work because that person could possibly be before their time meaning that the person ideas could be great for people in the future, it might not work in the present. In this story if Carol was around during the women’s revolution then her ideas could have been viewed as forward thinking and those ideas could have been used and she could have had a better life and could have felt that what she was doing was worth it in the end but because came earlier the majority of…

    Doctor Who (BBC 1, 1963-1989, 2005 -) is a BBC produced programme created in the early 1960s when Sydney Newman - the head of BBC’s drama - was brought over from ABC. The passion for science fiction that was gained drove him to create many ideas, one of these ideas was a teatime serial called Doctor Who. ‘The Daleks’ (Christopher Barry, 1963) and ‘A Christmas Carol’ (Toby Haynes, 2010) are the two most important in relation to the discussion to be made in relation to Doctor Who and give the best textual analysis due to the aesthetics and narratives of both episodes. Focusing on the context into Doctor Who’s production and broadcast, it will allow two key issues to be explored - the BBC’s channel identity and the cultural discourse of ‘quality’…

    Often time’s people get set in their ways, and it is hard for them to see themselves as others do. For most people to change their behavior, a significant emotional event must take place. For example, people who contract an illness such as cancer often make radical changes in their lifestyle and behavior when confronted with the fragility of life. In literature, change is often accompanied by great drama such as A Christmas Carol where the character Ebenezer Scrooge tries to find out who he is. In A Christmas Carol, Dickens uses the supernatural to dramatize the need for Ebenezer Scrooge to change from miser to socially responsible citizen.…

    The movie I chose to critique is Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas”. The story is an animated musical that puts in a world where Halloween is always celebrated but also gives you a brighter side of the joy in the Christmas holiday. Although the movie is not directed by Tim Burton, Henry Selick brings an animated holiday musical to the big screen. Unlike other holiday movies like Rudolph the Red nose reindeer and Frosty the Snowman. The Nightmare before Christmas has a wide variety of misfit characters and scenarios that may not be very holiday friendly to the younger audience. For example there is a scene where Jack the Skellington (the pumpkin king) wants to kidnap “santy claus” and take over Christmas day. Jack is the main character that has many ideas for Christmas and means well but are not always the best plans. With Tim Burton’s ideas, Henry Selick took Tim’s ideas and visions and was able to bring the creative vision and imaginative characters, sketches and drawings and bring them alive and vibrant. In 1993 “The Nightmare before Christmas” became a legendary masterwork with great animation, songwriting and storytelling.…

    My first reaction to The Murder on the Orient Express was amazement. Christie has the ability to hold together multiple ideas and storylines, still she is able to connect them and form one of the best mystery novels ever published. I have heard a lot about this novel, The Murder on the Orient Express, and was pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable it was to read. It lives up to its reputation. Of course when reading every book, there are questions that we want to be answered the moment we think of them. In the book, when the reader learns about the murders origins, Mrs. Hubbard says it was right to murder Mr. Ratchett, to help prevent…

    In order to classify a story as a fairy tale, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, the story must be a tale containing actual fairies, an imaginable artificial story, or an absolute dishonest story. Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass are not novels about fairies or are completely false stories, but they do contain imaginable artificial plots in which a young girl named Alice travels to different worlds in her dreams. Through the creative adventure of these dream stories, one could vaguely qualify them as a fairy tale. Tolkien's perspective opposes the label of fairy tales to Alice stories by which he states that dream stories may be a fantasy of the mind, but lose their realization when Alice wakes up back in the real…
