                           Use movie to retaliation

    The article describes a phenomenon that Jeffrey Katzenberg, the producer of Shrek said Disney owned him a large number of money for his contribution. He blamed his helpers and friends. And then, he had his own company and created many cartoon movies, which made him more famous. Katzenberg also wanted to let his old employer see his achievement.In his movie, Shrek, he used some characters to reflect his old friends. However, there might be some misunderstanding between them. But just because of the trouble, Katzenberg created a successful movie.

    Katzenberg used his experience and emotion to create teh movie. The movie can reflect his feelings and real life. Retaliation sometimes is not a bad thing. It can arouse some new idea. What's more important, you should learn to how to control it. Everything has two sides, a good one and a bad one. Change your mind to see the world and it may be different.

A New View to Cinderella

A New View to Cinderella

        The article gives us a new view to Cinderella. It says the step mother treates Cinderella stern has some legitimacy. When the king died, the step mother cried, "You cannot leave me here!" It means the step mother love her husband deeply. But accepting a child not be yourself is a hard thing. The step mother also raised three girls. So we can see the love between the king and step mother, or she won't accept Cinderella. In other movies, Cinderella tells us how to face with troubles. Be brave and seek help.
        I think the writer of the article is right. Every story not have only one meaning. We should think more and find the different opinion of the same thing. In Cinderella, we also see the love and marriage in the story. Not only between step mother and king, but also in Cinderella and prince. Love is powerful and it can make miracle happen.

Response to why marriage plot need never gets old

Response to marriage plot

        The article is about marriage plot. It has many examples from famous fictions like Madame Bovary and Anna Karenina. The whole story is consist of many love pieces. Madame Bovary has three lovers. But nobody companies her in the end. We can see the life of the woman is filled with marriage.
        In my opinion, the reason why marriage plot never gets old is that love can cover a range age in our life. And the marriage also can reflect the society. The aim of fictions is to show the society. People read the novels about marriage and they can find the background in that period. The marriage plot need never gets old because we will face these problem sometime. So the writer wants to write the novels to let us know marriage plot better.

Respose to drag queens

Drag queens

        RuPaul is a famous man in drag queens, but RuPaul always perform as a woman so the writer call him "she". She likes dressing like a man. What's more, her TV show about challenging gender roles already has six seasons. Many people like this kind of show because this program is original. And RuPaul even bring the spectrum of male-to-female performance and femininity into mainstream popular culture. More and more people notice her also notice challenging gender roles.
        We always think men should be the real men and women should be the real women. But everyone is not same as other people. We can choose what we want to do. Maybe a man love the charactor of female like elegant and beautiful. Or a woman wants to be cool and forthright. That means, people have their own charactors and we should learn to accept them.

Response to why women smile

        The article tells us some examples to show the reason why women smile. Not only the women, but also everyone, smile always transmit positive things. After we see the smile, we will feel comfortable and in a happy mood.

        The doctors say, smile can express people's mind. We can read the meaning of smile. In the past period, women laughing loudly is conserenced to be bad thing. But now world is changing, and smile can give other people a beautiful face. Smile also can show the freedom. Women through smile to narrow the distance between other people. A real smile can have a great power. So women always smile.





Contradiction

Refute against the claim

         Cathy says Charlie and the chocolate factory doesn't fit the defination of Cinderella story. However, I don't think so. The other 4 kids are all punished by Willy Wonka. We can guess, if they also pass the test then Charlie has no chioce to gain the factory. The other four kids certainly want to prevent anyone else to win the game, but they fail. Similarly, Cinderella's step mother and bad sister also want to prevent Cinderella, but they fail, too. The result is Cinderella goes to the party and meet the prince.

        The second point is in Charlie and chocolate factory Charilie don't have the prince or mate. The prince or the mate is a kind of person who can identify the beautiful characters from Cinderella. And Willy Wonka also has this ability to find good characters from Charlie. And mate gives Cinderella a happy life. Willy Wonka also gives Charlie a happy life.

        In a conclusion, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is fit the defination of Cinderella story. 

Response to "faking it"

Response to faking it

        The article is about a man as father and husband. This story is begin with a towel racks' fixing. Through his fixing, he thinks of some things in the past. He thinks about his father who never showed his weakness. His father is so confident that the author dare not saying the mistakes.
      The author is also influenced by his father, but he is better than his father. In an emergency, his family was trapped by the snowstorm. He tries his best to drive away from the difficult position. He wants to protect his wife and his children. However he doesn't tell his kids what happened, because he doesn't want to scare them. And he should build a hero in his children's mind.
      If you know, you should say you know that. But if you don't know, you had better say you don't know. Although faking it will not lose face and change the impression, it might lead to some terrible things happen because of your bumptious. So it is important to be honest and tell the truth.

Human

        After I read the discussion, I know they were talk about human being.
        First of all, they argued with if the dolls are considered to be the human. They thought dolls have legs and arms. Dolls also look like human.
        Then they turn to the X-Men. These strange men can talk, walk and eat. They have eyes, noses, mouths also the hands and the feet. But they have some differences compared with human. For example, they may be blue. Maybe they can fly and transform. In the end, they came out a conclusion that X-Men are not human beings.
        At last, they talked about the runner who wears prostheic legs that some people say actuallly increase his speed. The government banned him from competition.

Rhodopis

1. I don’t think our story has magic, because no birds or other animal helped her to meet her need. I think it was coincidence like the story said that it was God Horus’s sign. However, the falcon helped her change her life. It snatched one of the slippers and drop it to Pharaoh, so here is the transition.
2. Rhodopis wet her slippers by accident, so she put them under the sun to dry. I don’t know if it was unfortunately, the falcon took one of the red shoes away. And it was dropped on Pharaoh’s lap by chance.
3. I like reading stories, so I do have seen this kind of transition. For example, I read a story called Puss in Boots.The little boy only got a cat from his father’s legacy, but the cat can talk so the cat asked for a pair of boots. Then the cat helped him attract king’s attention gradually.It used its brain to beat enchanter, to trade with people. Finally he married the prince and the lived happily ever after. Also an animal changed the boy’s life.
4. I like the transition. This is fairy tale. Everything can happen. I also want people who are kind but be bullied have a happy ending. If there is no transition, these poor girl would be bullied forever. And the bad people won’t be punished. However, many stories have transition to change people’s life. This is what we want to see.
