...AMUSEMENT PARK Introduction: An Amusement Park is an attraction within a city that provides different kinds of rides that would cater tourist and also local people wherein they can enjoy their time. My topic will focus on building an amusement park here in Iloilo City to provide entertainment wherein no other amusement parks are locally located Defining the proposed problem: * An Amusement Park is composed of different rides and others facilities that cater the needs people for them to enjoy and relax within the vicinity Impact in the community: * The socio economic benefits of Amusement Park to the host community. Tourism activities as with any other type of economic development, brings about changes for economic, social, cultural and spatial structure of the settlement where it takes place. It is mostly regarded for generating income and employment, encouraging the entrepreneurial activity and eventually leading to improvements in the economic structure of the region. However since there are countervailing forces at play within an economy, the arising costs and benefits from tourism are not immediately quantifiable. The costs and benefits of tourism are not evenly distributed. What may be a benefit to one group may cost another group within the same community or area. For example, hotel and restaurant operators may benefit from tourism, but the permanent residents may suffer in terms of crowding, pollution, noise, and in some cases, a changed way of life...

...I. Title of the Case Enchanted Kingdom: The Magic Lives On and On II. Executive Summary of the Case Enchanted Kingdom (EK) is the pioneer theme park in the country, boasting seven fantastic theme zones, and imported rides and attractions. Ideally, new rides and attractions should be added annually to maintain the charm and sustain the viability of the theme park. However, due precarious economic conditions prevailing in late 1997 onward, the company deferred its expansion plans. It has been almost four years since it last introduced a new major ride or attraction for the theme park. Against the Asian currency crisis backdrop, management must identify strategies to eliminate seasonal demands and boost its guest attendance and profitability. III. Background of the Case Enchanted Kingdom opened to the public on October 19. 1995. It was and still is the Philippines' first world class fixed and themed amusement attraction on a scale never before seen in the country. It had 16 rides and attractions most of which were unique to the Philippines during its introduction while the rest were in size and capacities that had never experienced in the country before. Locating these rides and attractions within seven meticulously themed zones interspersed with food and merchandise outlets and kiosks as well as various game stands also added to the “experience” in a totally “enchanting” environment, away from the day-to-day realities of life. In 1996, answering the...

...up with Lysander and Demetrius now loving Helena and they find themselves in the same situation that they were already in before. "The course of true love never did run smooth" comments Lysander, uttering one of A Midsummer Night’s Dream’s most important themes. The theme of love’s difficulty, which is explored through the motif of love out of balance. The prime example of this is the unbalanced love among the four young Athenians: Hermia loves Lysander, Lysander loves Hermia, Helena loves Demetrius, and Demetrius loves Hermia instead of Helena—an imbalance in which two men love the same woman, leaving one woman with too many suitors and one with too few. Though they do sort it out and everything ends up finishing on good terms. FILM...

...A Comparison of the tale of “Aladdin and the Enchanted Lamp” and the Disney Movie Aladdin: A Cultural Study According to N. J. Dawood, the translator of The Thousand and One Nights, “Aladdin has been retold or presented to so many different generations all over the world that it can perhaps be rightly described as the most renowned story invented by man”. Interestingly enough, “Aladdin and the Enchanted Lamp” was not part of the original collection of stories that composed The Arabian Nights. No one knows exactly when a given story is originated, but it is obvious that some stories circulated orally for centuries before they actually were collected or written down. The story of Aladdin appeared for the first time in Antoine Galland’s (1646-1715) translation of the Thousand and One Nights, the first major European version. Before Galland, there was no known Arabic version of Aladdin and his lamp. The first Arabic version showed up after Galland’s version and very well could have been translations of Galland’s French version. One of the more recent and most popular versions of “Aladdin” was an animated feature produced in 1992 by Walt Disney Pictures. Aladdin made over $217 million in revenue in the United States, and over $504 million worldwide. Even though the American film and the medieval Arabian tale share common elements and are both plotted around a young impoverished boy named Aladdin, the moral lessons they offer differ in ways that can be described through the values...

...Elizabeth Davis 3rd hour 12/11/14 OZ theme Wizard of Oz Imagine a deep enchanted sleep, everyone involved in your life has transformed and represents something in this dream. How crazy would that be? Well, in the Wwizard of Oz it strongly demonstrates the search for identity archetype. This is shown through aAppearance, aAbilities, and Dorothy’s attitude. To begin with, the authors begin revealing the theme with Dorothy's appearance. Dorothy dresses in a long white and blue plaid dress with twist/braided pigtails. The fact that they dressed her like this proves that Dorothy is young and is not concerned with the physical appearance. However, others may say that this makes Dorothy a well put together young woman. As a result, Dorothy seems young and energetic and just lives life simply. this is how the authors reveal Dorothy’s physical appearance. In addition, the authors also reveal the theme with Dorothy’s abilities. Dorothy lives on her family's farm, but it does not show her doing any work to help out. Aunt Em states: “I know, but we all got to work out our own problems, Henry” when Dorothy tries talking to them when they are busy trying to fix the incubator. Furthermore, Dorothy feels her words are not heard but ignored. Likewise, the authors also reveal the theme through Dorothy’s attitude and beliefs. Dorothy dreams of a place “over the rainbow”. Dorothy also dreams of a place “far far away”. Dorothy is a very selfless girl, always putting others...

...Megan Woodrow December 10, 2012 Human Symbolic Activity Final Paper Gender and Communication: Disney Princesses Evolve Over Time Women have been around since the beginning of time, and have been stereotyped towards having “weaker natures and bodies” and “silly and emotional desires”. The women in the classic Walt Disney films are no exception to this criticism. But there is a saving grace. As women in real life have changed over time, our counterparts in fantasy film animation have also changed. The classic Walt Disney Princesses have therefore evolved through, and with, the media. After thinking back on what made Disney such a huge hit and major part of all of our lives, one answer came to mind: The Disney Princesses. Walt Disney and the Disney Company started out with young and beautiful Snow White, and then eventually moving onto the long line of famous Disney heroines such as Cinderella, Aurora, Belle, Ariel, Jasmine, Mulan, and many more to recent date. There have been so many princesses (and other strong heroines) added to the Disney list, but has anyone ever thought of how these princesses have changed over time, or how they have evolved due to how women in real life are represented in the media today? Before I go into any more on the Princesses themselves, I first need to explain what events and stereotypes have made the basis for the Disney Princesses of the past, and even the for the women of the past, due to how the media and others have portrayed...

...generations to come. Preview Audrey Hepburn is one of the most recognized Hollywood actresses’ in the world. Audrey Hepburn was an iconic actress, a humanitarian, and a humble human being. Body I. Audrey Hepburn is considered to be one of the best actresses of all time. Audrey Hepburn’s acting abilities made her an iconic starlet. Her first starring role was in the 1953 romance film “Roman Holiday” this film made her an instant star. She played a princess who runs away and falls in love with a journalist. Many audiences were enchanted with her elegance, grace and sincerity. She won the Academy Award for Best Actress for that role. Her most famous role of course was in Breakfast at Tiffany’s when she played a sophisticated hurt soul, Holly Golightly. Audrey’s charming acting skills made Breakfast at Tiffany’s the classic film it is today. Throughout her career she played a young woman with Cinderella like transformations. However, she also had the ability to play more dramatic roles, like in “A Nun’s Story” in which she won an Oscar nomination for. With all these great films and awards, I still truly believe what made her a great actress was her compassion. She had compassion for the characters, and...

...He had come a long way to this blue lawn, and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it…Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter — to-morrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . . And one fine morning – So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” (Fitzgerald 99), showing that ultimately, our attempts to achieve the American Dream is a race we will never win, a view most probably motivated by his own growing dissatisfaction with the wealth and riotous lifestyle he was living. (Curnutt 87) In my opinion, the film does less of a good job presenting the American Dream as the tainted illusion that Fitzgerald was seeking to portray in the novel. For example, while in the novel the parties are described as overly decadent, bacchanalian affairs...

...after an amusing and colorful prologue, which in itself could have been enlarged into an exciting family film. Then it expands into a parable of survival, acceptance and adaptation. The story begins in a small family zoo in Pondicherry, India, where the boy christened Piscine is raised. Piscine translates from French to English as "swimming pool," but in an India where many more speak English than French, his playmates of course nickname him "pee." Determined to put an end to this, he adopts the name "Pi," demonstrating an uncanny ability to write down that mathematical constant that begins with 3.14 and never ends. The zoo goes broke, and Pi's father puts his family and a few valuable animals on a ship bound for Canada. In a bruising series of falls, a zebra, an orangutan, a hyena and the lion tumble into the boat with the boy, and are swept away by high seas. His family is never seen again, and the last we see of the ship is its lights disappearing into the deep — a haunting shot. This is a hazardous situation for the boy (Suraj Sharma), because the film steadfastly refuses to sentimentalize the tiger (fancifully named "Richard Parker"). A crucial early scene at the zoo shows that wild animals are indeed wild and indeed animals, and it serves as a caution for children in the audience, who must not make the mistake of thinking this is a Disney tiger. The heart of the film focuses on the sea journey, during which the human demonstrates that he can think with great ingenuity...

...My experience with the instrumental accompaniment of the musical Urinetown was surprisingly enhanced as I listened attentively to the musical value of the comedic performance. Of course, each musical performance was supported by vocals from the individual actors. But, the comedic nature of the film is undoubtedly facilitated by the background instrumental music. The instrumental music is quite simple, rarely polyphonic in texture, and focused on exaggerating moments of comedy or suspense. Instruments such as the bass, piano, trumpet usually combine with the vocals, but sometimes play alone as the actors dance theatrically. My general feeling towards the musical was amused yet enchanted by the cerographical impressiveness of the play. In order to effectively utilize the dynamic versatility of instrumental accompaniment, the musical had to of been prepared to perfection with every beat. Every piano stroke had to be in perfect coordination with the actors. Furthermore, the actors and musicians must have an equal interpretation of beat and meter. If not, the instruments would lose value, and the music would lose continuity. Regarding genres such as the concerto, or symphony, all musical parts of the performance are able to focus on the conductor in order to achieve an exact tempo. In the case of a musical, actors must be fixated on the audience, which makes attaining a uniform tempo a difficult task. Regarding my dislikes of the play, I found the simplicity of the...

...Walt Disney was a man of many enchanted ideas. His imagination was the main characteristic of his career. However, his imagination became tied in with his real beliefs, which ultimately caused problems within his multimillion-dollar empire. Whether he did this subconsciously or not it has become a major issue in our present day society. Critics have begun to investigate his movies because of suspicion that there are undoubtedly inappropriate concepts within the story lines, they seem to be absolutely correct. However, Disney did create a “dream” world for children, he taught them that they could be whatever they wanted, and that they will live happily ever after even in the worst of situations, but he did not make the best choices as to...
