...Winnie-the-Pooh, also called Pooh Bear, is a fictional anthropomorphic bear created by A. A. Milne. The first collection of stories about the character was the book Winnie-the-Pooh, and this was followed by The House at Pooh Corner . Milne also included a poem about the bear in the children’s verse book When We Were Very Young and many more in Now We Are Six . All four volumes were illustrated by E. H. Shepard. The Pooh stories have been translated into many languages, including Alexander Lenard's Latin translation, Winnie ille Pu, which was first published in 1958, and, in 1960, became the only Latin book ever to have been featured on The New York Times Best Seller list. In popular film adaptations, Pooh Bear has been voiced by actors Sterling Holloway, Hal Smith, and Jim Cummings in English and Yevgeny Leonov in Russian. History Origin Milne named the character Winnie-the-Pooh for a teddy bear owned by his son, Christopher Robin Milne, who was the basis for the character Christopher Robin. Christopher's toys also lent their names to most of the other characters, except for Owl, Rabbit, and Gopher. Gopher was added to the Disney version. Christopher Robin's toy bear is now on display at the Main Branch of the New York Public Library in New York City. Christopher Milne had named his toy bear after Winnie, a Canadian black bear he often saw at London Zoo, and "Pooh", a swan they had met while on holiday. The bear cub was purchased from a hunter for $20 by Canadian...

...to them sometimes.” – Alan Alexander Milne, writing as Winnie the Pooh. Have you ever sat down and thought about the leader in you? Many people avoid thinking about the inner qualities they poses that makes them a good or bad leader. Most people, in fact, believe that being a good leader is just a natural trait born to those select few who are lucky enough to be chosen. Everyone needs to sit down and look at their own abilities and recognize what is helping them to achieve their leadership goals or what is actually holding them back. In order to understand your own leadership qualities though, you must first understand what leadership is. There is no definitive definition of what leadership actually is. We must look at each quality and characteristic that shapes the image of a leader. There is no better example to follow then the lessons learned from the one and only Winnie the Pooh. “ Created by Alan Alexander Milne and was first published on October 14th, 1926. The characters in the book were based on Milne’s own son’s adventures with his stuffed animals and were featured in 4 books written by Alan Alexander Milne and illustrated by E.H. Shephard. The books were a favorite by millions, but the most influential people they touched were the daughters of the famous illustrator, Walt Disney. Their love for the books inspired Disney to bring the characters to life and in 1977 “The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh” was released as the first feature-length animated film. Since their...

...ACA 122 Advertisements and Your Health I discovered that after watching a commercial for Victoria’s Secret that I had to have their newest bra. In my opinion, the bra looked very sexy and would definitely impress my husband. When the model looked into the camera, it was as if she was speaking directly to me. I had to have this bra in the exact black and white color she was wearing. I wanted to look sexy and be confident just like the girl in the advertisement. Many of my bras come from Victoria’s Secret so I had no problem running into the store to make this particular purchase. I was so confident that I didn’t even bother to try it out before leaving the store. When I put this bra on to go out on a date with my husband I was in shock! It was the worst bra I have ever felt in my life. The straps cut down into my shoulders leaving painful red marks. I could also feel the underwire cutting into my skin. I am currently using a fade cream to get rid of the scars that the bra left behind. I intend to continue to shop at Victoria’s Secret but I will not assume that all their products are good just because some model appears to sexy and comfortable. I will not let a model trick me into thinking that a product is right for me just because of the way it looks. The bra probably left her in pain just as it did me. The only difference is that she got paid to suffer and I didn’t. I also intend to try on every bra that I purchase before leaving the store. In the future...

...Students number: 1111965 Students name: Ksenija Mihailova “Difference between Russian and American animation; Comparing Russian and American Vinnie the Pooh”. " The characters in most of American cartoons do nothing but smack and humiliate each other in all possible ways. There is much less aggression in our cartoons. Our artists didn't want to create action. They wanted to create a dialogue with viewers. It was not a dogma that was enforced upon them - it was a tradition that was coming from Russian folklore fairy tales," -Sergei Merinov , a Russian catoonist. American animation began in the 1920s because of it potential to make profits at a time when cinema idustry was in really hight level and it was golden age of it. As it is not surprisingly Disney soon became one of the most successful animators, largely due to its merger of art with bussiness and profit(David MacFadyen, Yellow Crocodiles and Blue Oranges ). The Disney became popular and now because it aim to capture the spirit and innocence of childhood. It displayed characters running aroud, playing through colorful frames with musical accompaniment. Disney animation was also visually realistic, as it can be seen in Snow White (1937). It set a new standard for characters movement , which now cold be traced from a live actor. Also it helped to set a standard for realism in American animation. In capitalist market Disneys ability –tap into the childhood spirit made the studio so successful...

...If there is ever a tomorrow that we are not together, there is one thing you should always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is: even if we're part, I will always be with you in the heart. -- Winnie the Pooh This is a quote from Winnie the Pooh, my little sister's favorite silly, old bear. It's also something that my sister and I tell each other often. It's been really difficult for her since I left for college and this saying helps reassure her that we are always together. My sister was born July 17, 2002. I was 8 years old. I remember being so excited that I was finally a big sister. I got to help feed her, burp her, play with her however; I did draw the line at changing diapers! She was 17 months old when our lives changed forever. She was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. I really didn't understand what was going on. I knew that she had to have surgery. I knew she was very sick. She had been in the hospital for almost a month when I found out even more distressing news, my parents would have to take she to Memphis, TN to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital for treatment and I couldn't go with them. She underwent another surgery and she had to have 36 radiation treatments and she and my parents were gone for the longest 4 months of my life! When she came back she had to learn everything all over again. She used a walker to help her walk. She had to learn...

...demeanor caught my attention. Like the other kids, I expected him to start interacting with the other children when he came in, but he passed them like they were not even there. In terms of physical appearance Christian was wearing blue jeans, a white t-shirt, black jacket and blue cap. He was kind of short and average weight his hair was curly in a mini afro. I noticed he was very independent he took off his coat and hat by himself without any assistance from his nanny. He made himself comfortable by sitting down as the nanny picked up a book to read to him. Christian has wonderful fine motor skills, which involve physical movements with his hands and fingers. I watched him turn pages in the Winnie the Pooh book with no hesitation or problem. After she read the Winnie the Pooh book to Christian they colored together. Christian held the crayons perfectly, with both his thumb and his finger. He is capable of drawing and can use circular strokes. Christian’s attention started to shift. As someone who had just waken he started to notice the other little boys and girls who were off playing on the opposite side of the room. He slowly started to remove himself from sitting with his nanny. He began to watch the...

...In the Florida Language Arts State Standard 3.1.6.3, concerning vocabulary, it states “a student will use context clues to determine meanings of unfamiliar words.” In the text, Winnie the Pooh, the word “gorse” is used in the sentence “He crawled out of the gorse-bush, brushed the prickles from his nose, and began to think again.” Since gorse is a vocabulary word that is considered above third-grade level, the text used surrounding words to help the reader identify the meaning of the word. In this case, as the reader studies the words that surround “gorse”, they will read the words “bush” and “prickles”. Thus, helping the reader determine that the meaning of gorse must be some type of bush that contains thorns on it. Which, indeed, is the meaning...

...“That Pesky Television Test Pattern” Reading these articles really has shown just how much the Graphic Design field has progressed since the 1900’s. Seeing the process and understanding how effective designs can be and how efficiently signs can be used is so fascinating. Along with the concept of signage as a way of advertising, television had quite an impact on the world of Graphic Design. Walt Disney World is such a magnificent place to see. All the remarkable attractions help a person to escape to a fantasy world where everyone can be a kid again. In 2002 I took my daughter there and even with it being very commercialized, it really felt like we were in another world. Going through Cinderella’s castle, having lunch with Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, and Piglet, and the outstanding lighted parades every night were such memorable moments. The eye catching features all around create an ambience, which people not only need in life, but desire. For instance, all the live characters actually walking around throughout the parks and mingling with children and adults is a great example of the involvement a person will encounter. It is so amazing to think with the right angle, one can capture an individual’s attention and it can be instilled into memory long term. Television is another astounding invention that even though it started out in the 1920’s; by 1930’s there were a few hundred commercially available. The test pattern created was used to determine how well the transmitter was...

...Analysis of Pooh Bear’s Nonsensical Hums Throughout the story, Pooh bear hums and songs are added to create a sort of lightness to so called serious situations. He is a simple, humorous and loving character that captures the facets of childhood. Milne has created a novel to entertain children and their parents through creating a quirky yet secure world of imagination, adventure and enjoyment. During the time period when Winnie the Pooh was written there were many historical events taking place, such as the World War, social dilemmas confronting England and the technological advances in society. None of which are mentioned in the book. Paula T. Connolly writes the following about Winnie-the-Pooh “envisions an alternative world that is safe, rural, insulated and largely Edenic.” We can see why Connolly would think as such from the many poems and hums throughout the novel, which are unstructured and non-judgmental. An example of this would be the “Cloud Song” (pg.17) where Pooh Bear sings about being a cloud to deceive the Queen Bee. The song is spontaneous and Milne appreciates that children have this great gift of imagination like Pooh. The hums, poems and songs are “largely Edenic” (4) throughout the book and it is said that children have a greater connection to nature than what an adult does; so nature is supposed to inspire us and make one feel like a child again. On the other hand some aspects of the poems are much darker than what meets the eye. One may say that the...

The author Benjamin Hoff uses the characters from winnie the pooh to describe many of the different types of people we see in the world today winnie the pooh being the prime example of being tao. The book begins with the descriptions of the three different people that taste vinegar and get the three different reactions by the men represent Confucianism which thought that the vinegar is sour which represented the sour things in life, Buddhism represented the bitterness in life, and Taoism which focused on the sweetness of the vinegar. Hoff uses these examples to show that even though something may taste sour in the case for confucianism, with the correct outlook, it can be something sweet instead....

...“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” Many might see optimisms as just wishful thinkers but really, these people are problem solvers who try to improve a situation. The definition of optimistic is “hopeful and confident about the future” so in other words one would be a Pooh Bear and not an Eeyore. Optimisms can take any negative situation and see a positive light in it, no matter how bad it may seem. So, is it really worth being optimistic or to just continue on with life and its negative aspects? Being optimistic, or acting like Pooh Bear, can really be beneficial to ones physical and mental health; cooping better with stress, improve you immunity, increased life span, improved coping skills, reduced risk for death from cardiovascular disease are all befits to thinking positive. By being pessimist, or acting like Eeyore, has the exact opposite effect; poorer mood, less social support, prolonger recovery from stress and illness and less satisfaction with life. Optimism could be one of the most important predictors oh physical and metal life. Positive thinking can even help women deliver healthier babies. A study done by Lobel, Devincent, Kaminer and Meyer in 2000 showed that optimistic mothers deliver healthier and heavier babies. “Women's self-reported experience of the ease or difficulty of the current pregnancy . . . Those who reported having the easiest pregnancies had the highest levels of...
