...1.) Analysis of all characters Belle: A bookish young woman who falls in love with the Beast and finds the kind-hearted human inside him. She is beautiful, deep, intelligent and loves to read. Belle at times can also be stubborn but she is not afraid to speak her mind. She usually wears a blue outfit along with a blue ribbon in her hair. She is"unaware" of her own beauty and made her "a little odd”. Beast: A cold-hearted prince transformed into a beast as punishment for his selfishness, but later warms, with the help of Belle, and ends up being transformed back into a handsome prince as a reward. He was once a selfish, greedy prince because a poor young beggar asked him for shelter for the night, and he refused. The beggar was actually an enchantress and turning him into a monster. After, Beast fell in love with belle and became a good man for he refused to kill Gaston and didn't want to stoop to his level. Gaston: A highly egotistical hunter who vies for Belle's hand in marriage and is determined not to let anyone else win her heart, even if it means killing her true love. He is a big line-ups of good-looking men with deep voices". Gaston is the main villain in the “Beauty and the Beast” movie. He is a sexist, chauvinistic hunter who wants to marry Belle just so he can brag about it and to give him sons that he can mold at his will. Belle sees him as nothing more than a rude, selfish, chauvinist, barbarian-brained lunkhead and sexist man who is unworthy of her time. Lumiere:...

...schoolboys along with their distant memories of being in a civilized society, fight in an epic battle to try and prevent the full outbreak of evil. Golding illustrates the never-ending combat of “good” and “evil”, amidst the young schoolboys and the Beast; Ralph, the democratic leader, contrary to Jack, who favoured dictatorship; and the strength of civilization versus the forces of human nature. First and foremost, the story displays the constant conflicts between the innocence of the British schoolboys and the dark nature of what they come to know as the Beast. An example of this is when the twins Sam and Eric encounter the Beast in Chapter Six: "Beast From Air." In the beginning of the chapter, Sam and Eric, who were on duty to watch the fire, falls asleep as a dead parachutist falls from the war in the adult world and lands on the island. When they awake from their sleep, they noticed a “figure that hung with dangling limbs” (103) and mistake it as the Beast. Sam describes to Ralph that the Beast was ‘“furry”’ and that ‘“there was something moving behind its head – wings”’ (108). By recalling the terrifying image, Golding demonstrates how fear of the unknown can manipulate the twins into thinking that the dead parachutist was the Beast; and how the barrier of a civilized society was slowly diminishing. The novel also describes young Simon and his encounter with the “Lord of the Flies” in Chapter...

...which relegate her to motherhood and domesticity.” It is undeniable that numerous folk tales implant male chauvinism into women’s mind and thus convey an idea that woman should obey to and depend on men. However; Rowe neglects the aspect that many other folk tales, on the contrary, disclose the evil and vulnerable sides of man and marriage and thus encourages women to rely on their own intelligence and courage other than subordinating to man. Fairy tales Beauty and Beast and Fowler’s Fowl challenges Rowe’s thesis to some extent and exemplifies that some fairy tales motivate women to be intelligent and courageous and to challenge the patriarchy. In the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast, Beauty rescues the Beast and her family with brilliant morality and arduous efforts. Rowe merely focuses on the oedipal complex between Beauty and her father so that she overlooks Beauty’s persistent character and active behaviors when she encounters difficulties. Rowe claims that “Madame de Beaumont’s telling of Beauty and the Beast, focuses on the intimate bonds between father and...

...Beauty and The Beast From ”A Fractured Fairy Tale” by A.J. Jacobs This is a modern interpretation of the classic fairy tale. Jacobs took all the clichés from the classic fairy-tale, and either commented on them or simply altered them slightly. A good example of Jacobs commenting on the classic fairy-tale writing would be the introduction to the fairy tale, in which he wrote: “Once upon a time there was a magnificent golden castle on a silver cloud high up in the sky, which has nothing to do with anything because our story is about an old woodchopper who lived in a shack, but that's a good way to start a fairy tale.” This is a somewhat fairy tale classic since it starts with the characteristic “Once upon a time…”, but Jacobs have merely altered it a bit and states that it’s simply a pleasing way to start a fairy tale. At the time the reader gets past this, he or she instantly realise that this is no regular fairy tale. Another rather significant difference between this interpretation and the original fairy tale is that in this story, the main protagonist is the “beast” and the prince she is pursuing is, at first glance, the beauty. Our main protagonist is described as somewhat ugly, hence her feeling very lonely. In order to cope with her loneliness, her father brought her a mule. And then something interesting happens: She tries to kiss the mule, in a desperate attempt to turn the mule into a magnificent prince. The interesting thing about this is that she somehow...

...The three symbols I used for my book cover is Broken Glasses, Fire, and the Beast. On the book cover, you can see a fire made smoking up the sky. In the smoke from the fire, you can see two red eyes. These two red eyes are the beast that the characters in Lord of the Flies imagined. Next to the fire is broken glasses (left). These three symbols show significant symbolism through the book. The first symbol I will bring up from the four is the broken glasses. The broken glasses belonged to Piggy. The glasses were used to help create the fire for the boys. Piggy's glasses glasses are a symbol of the intellectual and ordered side of humanity. They are a symbol of this because the glasses are the only thing left the boys have that is a part of modern civilization. When the boys don't know how to make a fire, they have to rely on Piggy's glasses. The breaking of the glasses represents the breaking of the last thing the boys had that was close to humanity. Without the glasses, Piggy says "the Island is a sea of meaningless color". This was Piggy's weakness because without his glasses, he could not see anything and didn't know what to do anymore. After Piggy's glasses broke, the boys on the island began to act more like savages and animals which was most of the reason why Piggy ended up dying. The next symbol is the fire. The fire is a symbol of hope and at the same time destruction. The boys decide to make a fire to try to signal navy ships and get rescued. Ralph says "We've got to...

...That night, a beastie fell from the sky, but, “it came down from the world of grownups.” (pg 95) That “beastie” was a man, dangling from a parachute, presumably killed in an air battle above. The, “lights in the sky,” (pg 95) were probably sprays of bullets from ship to ship, making the air battle likely, especially because the boys were evacuated due to a war in the first place. The man is most likely dead because it had, “dangling limbs,” (pg 95) it, “fell and crumpled,” (pg 95) and the parachute dragged it around. This is incredibly ironic because in the last chapter the boys were conversing about how if grownups were there everything would be perfect. Add they talked about everything the grownups wouldn't do, one boy said, “Or lose---,”...

...Inner darkness in human nature is discovered by the use of disorganization and violence. As order collapses, terror becomes reality. Criticism is recognized as man rips nature apart without thinking about the consequences and outcomes. An attempt to trace the defects of society back to the defects of human nature is revealed through criticism. There are several tools used to symbolize the fight against chaos. Golding uses objects as a representation of mass hysteria, and to show the end of innocence and the darkness of a man’s heart. Symbolism is evident within the story through the fire, the glasses, and the beast. Violence is shown through rescue and destruction. It shows the intention of humans to control nature by destroying it. Through harming the island surrounding them, the boys destroy their own habitat and cause damage to themselves. The signal fire serves the purpose of helping the group to be recognized by passing ships, eventually being rescued. If the boys’ world is just a symbol for the real world, then they are not being rescued at all. They are just going to a larger scale of violence. But in the novel, the fire gets out of control and threatens the boys’ lives. Consequently, the signal fire is a symbol of the boys’ diminishing hope. Golding uses the signal fire to also symbolize hope, something which Jack destroys as the novel progresses. At times the signal fire rages out of control, symbolic of the boys themselves. Furthermore, the signal fire is the island...

...The Beast That Took A Moment After It took time for my eyes to adjust to the darkness that had quickly fallen upon the village. The forest seemed more cold and lonely almost manacling like than normal. With a swift step walked towards the entrance of the forest, as if something outer worldly could erupt from its bowels. The stench of death danced across my nostrils, as a trail of blood caught my eyes. As I inched forward I caught glimpse of a severed limb surrounded by drenched leaves. The closer I got the more the nervous feeling in the bottom of my stomach grew with every step; suddenly a growl erupted from the depths of the forest and with it sending a cloud of crows passed above. Bright, red, eyes shone through the bushes and proceeded to bore into the depths of my soul. The ground shook, as the beast took enormous steps to cover the distance; I turn to run, but was engulfed in the underbelly of the beast. Its large canines were looming over my head. The beast could make grown men shake in fear. As I thought the beast was heading for the kill, a cracking sound echoed through the forest and then darkness welcomed me. A Day and A Minute After Ingrid was found a few hours ago. It felt like a hole has set itself onto the village. Mother is worried about me and my safety, but I told her that beast doesn’t come out during day. My house is located at the back of the forest. I skipped towards the heart -carved tree with my name on it. .the roughness against my palm made the...

...1 Student Sample Symbolism in the Golden Movie Beauty and the Beast When one thinks of Beauty and the Beast, pictures may appear of a golden dress, a pink rose, or a Beast outfitted in blue. This brightly colored movie is a favorite for many Disney loving children and adults. In Beauty and the Beast, “the tale as old as time” is depicted through the symbolism of the carefully selected colors as Belle finds her way to the Beast. The town’s people’s attire is dull: bleak browns, greens, and reds; this shows the conformity of the people and the simple mindedness of the town. Belle’s Papa’s green attire shows conformity as well. No matter how hard he tries to break out and be different, he is always sucked back and consumed by the poor provincial town. Then when Belle becomes happier in the castle, she is depicted in the same green because she is conforming to the castle life and ceasing to push back and long to be free. After connecting with Belle, the Beast changes into the same green. This wardrobe change represents the Beast’s desire to be what Belle wants and what he needs to be to break the spell. Gaston, the manly-man antagonist, is shown wearing a bright red shirt with a mustard collar. The mustard is a mock gold; this shows his need to be first, to be royal. He craves the attention he rakes in. The red signifies hostility. The combination of these colors displays his selfish appetite for power. In the Beast’s introduction and throughout the beginning of the movie, he wears...

Daniel 9: 27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering.

...William Golding, a school of boys crash land on an empty island without any adults and any rules. The boys are forced to survive on their own while creating a system of government, which leads to uprisings and betrayals, resulting to a few mournful deaths. Being alone on an island without an adult is very terrifying, and fear takes over the boy's quick. The themes of “fear and mob mentality” bring out the terror in almost every boy on the island. The theme of mob mentality is very significant in this book and shows in the boys when the savages murder Simon as a group. Mob mentality makes the boys senses blind and changes their morals and actions. This quote is a great example, “The beast was on its knees in the center, its arms folding over its face. Even in the rain they could see how small a beast it was;...

...any kind of image. Fear is described by Webster's Dictionary of English Mirriam- because ?? to upset or worried. "The feeling was mutual for all the island boys experience many different ways. Originally the boys have obviously fear alone, and then we know the beast, or as littluns mean, as fear ?? Beast "brought. While this fear continued throughout the novel, we have come into contact with the other three events of fear. The first one is the fear of the consequences of civilization, only when the child is regarded as a young boy of civilization, the first chapter is displayed. The last two are different in nature, and these fears losing power, fear of rejection, fear of the minority. All these different fear, then traced back to the characters, such as Goldin was expertly planned, and will affect people's attitudes and behavior....

...Numerous children on the island have a desire to hurt and murder, in reality, for the most part, they are physically ready to do anything to keep their power or to gain even more power, even if it includes being violent to another human being. The littluns have no power over the biguns. The elder boys make all the decisions and also decide where and when they want to apply them. In the first place, when Simon was hurt and dragging himself to go meet the boys, Jack immediately starts beating him. The biguns and also the littluns are all chanting and following Jack considering he gives all the orders. “ The littluns screamed and blundered about, . . . one of them broke the ring of biguns in his terror. (-- removed HTML --) > “ (Golding 152). As can be seen, this shows that the biguns have all the power over what happens on the island. They can make the littluns do anything even if it involves murdering a young kid. They are too scared to refuse and they manipulate them into hunting and killing. Furthermore, Jack decides to separate the group of young boys into two tribes; the hunters and everyone else who does not want to kill can stay with Ralph. Most of the biguns decide to join his tribe since they know they need food to survive and Jack wants to kill pigs. When some of the older boys visit the other tribe to get more members on their side, Jack mentions, “Tonight we’re having a feast. We’ve killed a pig and we’ve got meat. You can come and eat with us if you like. . . . The...
