...ball (51:24-56:00). Disney put out a branched out theme of when the main character’s dreams come to face the reality. The scene starts with Cinderella dancing with her Prince Charming at the ball to a soft music that allows both sense of magic and elegance to step in. This diegetic music played by the orchestra at the ball goes well with Cinderella’s flowy dress as she smoothly slides across the fancy floor. In the music, the heavy bass played by Cello gives a palatial feeling. Also when the couple starts dancing, the spotlight is turned on them, which makes it seem like if Cinderella is dreaming which related to Disney’s theme “Dreams come true.” In the middle of the dance, some diegetic sound is added to the music when the scene switches over to the king and his doorman. In this quick shot, not only they have a quick dialogue but also a breaking noise of the doorman’s magnifying glasses. After dancing at the ball, Cinderella and Prince Charming gracefully dances out to the garden where they are by themselves. During the scene, the diegetic music played by the orchestra slows down as Cinderella starts humming. However, the music doesn’t end but puts an accent by using crescendo in the tune giving the feeling of hope and curiosity in what is going to happen next. As Cinderella sings about love, Prince Charming joins for a duet. Due to the slower tempo of the music and the visual track of the beautiful garden and even the big shadow of the two young couple dancing, the only element...

...Carmen Paulino EN 101- “Cinderella” by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm: Writing prompt #3 As children we are all taught that our prince charming will come for us in a horse carriage with white horses, but is this true? Or is this just a way of looking forward to life? We are taught to value love and that love will come to us but does it come to everyone? We have come to believe in love but does it even exist? In the fairytale “Cinderella”, Cinderella, being a filthy maid who has suffered a lot and still manages to have hope in a better tomorrow, is one of the dominant gender roles which surface in the fairytale. The Prince is the other dominant gender role who is enchanted by Cinderella’s beauty and falls in love with her in a manner of “love at first sight”. He falls in love with her and searches to find her after she is gone. He didn’t care what family Cinderella came from or the live she has had, he wanted her. Cinderella and the Prince depict an idealization of love in just the plain idea that love actually exists and will eventually come to us. Their story tells us that regardless of anything love will overcome every obstacle like their love did with Cinderella’s stepsisters and mother. Also, the idea that love is blind and that looks nor way of life matters to two people who are in love. The prince didn’t care that Cinderella was a maid or that her clothes was dirty when he found her. It also makes us idealize that at some point in life our perfect match will come and we...

We never really look at the detail and the time that goes into the movies, which our children love until this day and age.

...ruled over our childhood since its inception in 1923. Instilled the idea of “happily ever after” to all the little girls in urban cities, bred the idea of prince charming and one true love from the tender age of 3.Now in 2015, after 90 years, it has successfully turned into an American pop culture icon. People instinctively associate Disney with American dream and the princess they created with our own life. Childhood is a time when most of our characters are built. It is the crucial time when the very essence of our own individuality materializes. And every child act like a sponge, they devour every last bit of info thrown at them and assemble themselves accordingly. The mere impact of Disney can simply predicted by the annual revenue generated annually which is 48.8 million USD in 2014 alone. The focus of my research would be how Disney has impacted our characters over the years. The ripple effect it has into our life goals, expectations and aspirations. Due to globalization, the scenario in urban cities of our own country in no different, except for the lower class of our society and those who cannot afford a TV, Disney has almost affected every working class of our society. And Bangladeshi young girls are no different from western suburban teenagers. They, too grow up watching Cinderella losing her glass shoe, Prince charming rescuing Aurora and Snow White living happily ever after. In the façade of innocent entertainment, girls learn that they “deserve” a happily ever after...

...I remember when I was very young I used to dream that one day I would meet my prince charming. That one day he would take me away, love me, spoil me and grant every wish I had, and that we would live happily ever after. I grew up on fairy tales and M&B novels! It is everyone’s desire to have a life partner, a companion to share his/her life, dreams, joy and sorrow with. And I was no different in nurturing this desire. Every time I attended any wedding I used to wonder when it would be my turn; when would I become a bride. Most importantly: where the hell is he, my prince charming? Time passed by and still there was no prince charming in sight! I resigned myself to the bitter fact that I am doomed to spend the rest of my life alone, without love. Being physically disabled I didn’t want to be a burden on anyone, especially as a financial burden. I threw myself in my career, secretly holding on to the assumption that there is someone out there for everyone. Besides, Allah in the Holy Quran says: “Among His proofs is that He created for you spouses from among yourselves, in order to have tranquility and contentment with each other, and He placed in your hearts love and care towards your spouses. In this, there are sufficient proofs for people who think.” [30:21] There is someone out there for me also. My prince charming will come. When? Then I met this falcon-eyed man with the most beautiful voice I had ever heard. With just one meeting I had slipped, stumbled and fallen...

...the Disney world. Some particular films that I have studied include ‘Cinderella’, ‘Snow White’, ‘The Little Mermaid’, ‘Sleeping Beauty’, ‘Beauty and The Beast’, ‘Tangled’, and ‘Mulan’. Through the utilization of those films, I have carried my study in an order that would allow me to scrutinize the similarities assigned to the ‘pink’ customs fitted to Disney princesses, and any other differences that could break the code followed through years on the films – hence an investigation in the representation of conventional Disney princesses. Disney films have allowed children to compose a preconceived idea of women or female roles in the films or even in life altogether, as helpless, and in need of an external party (usually male – or the Prince Charming) to come in and switch their lives into the better. These stereotypical roles assigned to the princesses are usually coloured with the hue of certain behaviours, physical appearances and characteristic traits, which I will be looking into radically through the essay. For example, one factor that is most recurrent in Disney films is the value of physical appearance over wit or intellect. Secondly, the defenselessness and...

...PRINCESS Okay, people. I wished upon a star. I guess it does make a difference who I are! Do I have to be some poor nobody wannabe? Do I need some kind of kryptonite like a little pea? Did my prince get turned into a frog and he's now hiding in some creepy bog waiting for me to find him? I don't even know how to swim. What's the use of dreaming anymore. No one is beating down my door. I need to be some kind of damsel in distress to get some attention I guess. Where's my Prince Charming? Is there something about me that's alarming? All I get is Prince Pampered who spends his whole life hampered by being royally stuck up. Or there's Prince Never Grow Up who is way too pretty in his curls. All these boys make me want to hurl. Why can't I find a man sized prince who will sweep me off my feet and take me to far away lands. He will hold me with his strong hands and devote his life to me. Is that what I want? Is that what I dream about? If I don't get it, will I forever pout and cry because I didn't get my way? I just want to feel special. I want to feel like they care. I want them to bravely face any challenge for me. Enter my heart if you dare. Lock me in a tower. Make me your precious flower. I want you to battle your way against dragons to win my love today. Quit playing with your toys and prove your worth to me, boys. I promise I will be the perfect princess for you to please. I will be good to you and I won't be a tease... much. Who am I kidding...

...In traditional fairytales, ogres are man eating beasts. The prince usually rescues the princess and they live happily ever after. 18.10.10 The main themes in a traditional fairytale are always either based on Romance/Magic & Evil. The main elements always are the antagonist (the bad guy), the protagonist (The good guy) and mainly sometimes the helper. In traditional fairytales the antagonist, the protagonist and the helper are often stereotypical, take Cinderella for example the princess is warm hearted, beautiful, nice and kind. The prince is always often handsome, charming, brave and wealthy The film ‘Shrek’ begins in a traditional way by using the most common phrase ‘Once upon a time’ that gives you an idea that the film has used some traditional phrases. Well you can tell by the opening scene that ‘Shrek’ is different to a traditional fairytale on how it shows Shrek doing his own thing. Shrek is very not like a stereotypical prince. Shrek is an Ogre which straight away puts a picture in your mind of like a dirty, scary and ugly and also could be the enemy. The music when we first meet Shrek is a contrapuntal sound. It doesn’t really match the things he was doing. For example, when Shrek is in a mud bath. The music gave you a happy/exciting feeling and quite a good/bad impression; it also sets the mood throughout the scene. Shrek threatens the villagers in the film. On this scene you see Shrek as a dangerous monster, which looks ugly and also very angry;...

...under several subsidiary brands. The subsidiary brands include Justice, Maurice, Dressbarn, Lane Bryant, and Catherines. In 2012 the company celebrated its 50th year of nonstop business operation. The company’s stock market price rose from below $15 per share during January to $ 19.40 on December 7, 2012 (Bloomberg, 2012). The company combines colors and top quality materials in each Ascena product (Mehta, 1998). Ascena effectively engaged in customer-based marketing strategies (Luther, 2011). The company grew in size by acquiring Charming Shoppes. Consequently, the company’s desire to focus on its top selling brands, precipitated to weeding out previously lesser performance brands.

...and his pledge to modernise Britain, but he promises to respect the Royal Family. Three months later, Diana, Princess of Wales died in a car crash at the Alma Bridge tunnel in Paris. Blair's director of communications, Alastair Campbell (Mark Bazeley), prepares a speech in which Diana was described as "the people's princess". Blair gives his speech the next day and the phrase catches on. Within the next few days after Diana's death, millions of people across London display an outpouring of grief at Buckingham and Kensington Palaces. Meanwhile, the Royal Family are still at their summer estate in Balmoral Castle. Diana's death sparks division among members of the family, in which they observe that since Diana was divorced from her husband, Prince Charles (Alex Jennings) a year earlier, she was no longer a part of the family. Diana's funeral arrangements were thus best left as a private affair of her noble family, the Spencers. Charles argues that the mother of a future king cannot be dismissed so lightly, while the Queen authorises the use of an aircraft of the British Royal Flight to bring Diana's body back to Britain. In London, flowers pile up before the palace railings, which forces the changing of the Queen's guard to use another gate. British tabloids become inflammatory about the lack of a statement from the Royal Family. Charles leaves no doubt that he shares Blair's views about the need for a statement. As the Royal Family's popularity plummets, Blair's acceptance rises...

...The Prince, written by Machiavelli, was a guide for all the rulers of his time who wanted to become major powers and to find all the solutions to their political problems. In his book, Machiavelli mentions a great amount of key points that guide rulers to the road of success. One of the key aspects that Machiavelli talks about is fate and how it effects the decisions of a ruler. The following paragraphs will discuss how human affairs are governed by fate, and how fate can be contested. During Machiavelli's time, it was commonly thought that events were ruled by fate and by God only. Not only that, but men could do nothing to stop or protect themselves from those events. Machiavelli did believe in fate, but he did not believe in the fact the fate controlled all events that occurred to mankind. If that were so then princes would rule by chance. This is proven when Machiavelli states I am not unaware that many have held and hold the opinion that the events are controlled by fortune…cause of this, they would conclude that there is no point in sweating over things, but that one should submit to the rulings of chance. (Machiavelli, pg.79) Machiavelli argued that fate controlled one half a person's life but the other half was governed by the people themselves. Machiavelli strongly suggests that princes are fortunate when fate and time are in harmony with their procedures, but things fall apart when things begin to change and the princes do not attempt to adapt to the changes. Machiavelli...

...Advice for managers: Intrapersonal Skills Achieve and Maintain Confidence, Focus, and Positive Self-image Decreasing Self-Oriented Perfectionism Work on your self-esteem, and try to stop the automatic thinking that sets your sights so high that your efforts can never measure up. It is OK to be hard on yourself on occasion, but be sure to take some time to be proud of your successes as a manager - and as a person. Reflect seriously about how you perceive yourself. Note your own negative and positive self-impressions. Write down what you like about yourself, what your strengths are, the people to whom you are important, and why you are important to them. Also, keep track of your negative perceptions and try to figure out why you took that particular issue so seriously. Maybe it wasn’t so bad after all. Explore why you should be proud of yourself and review this list often. Keep a journal of your thoughts, moods, and daily activities. Observe your automatic reactions to events at work and how you feel about yourself during daily life. If you make what you see as a horrendous mistake and feel like the lowest, lamest, most despicable worm on the earth, then write down the event, how you feel about yourself, and how you interpret the situation. Next, consider the situation from other perspectives and write these thoughts down as well. Follow these steps to gain new insight about your perceptions: - Do a serious reality-check: Are other people thinking as scathingly about you? If...
