Many stories people read are written for the express purpose of entertainment and sometimes even to persuade, but few are written to teach a moral. The story “A Fable with Slips of White Paper Spilling From The Pockets” written by Kevin Brockmeier does just that. Although relatively short, the story is filled with words of wisdom and life lessons that are meant to instill a sense of selflessness. The story is about a man who finds God’s overcoat from which he finds prayers from the people he encounters. Kevin Brockmeier makes exceptional use of magic realism and symbolism to teach a moral lesson.
Some fables a bad consequence can also affect just one character. Another example, is "The Swollen Fox", the fox was GREEDY in the story the fox saw a sandwich in a tree and didn't even ask anybody first before eating it and after the fox ate the sandwich the fox got stuck in the tree and couldn't get out of the tree because he was to fat because he ate the sandwich GREEDILY so when another fox passed by he told the fox stuck in the tree that he was foolish because he did not think before he acted to make that decision that's another consequence that another story has. It is clear that we still do need this

Perhaps it is human nature to preserve our dignity and put our safety above the safety of others, but to put oneself before their kin is treacherous. Manipulation, silence and the robbing of innocence are three key themes and motivators throughout this story. Possibly even parallels regarding the human
I learned a lot from this book I learned not to get in gangs and stay true to your family. I liked a quote in this story it said “things are rough all over” to me that meant no matter where you are where you go things are going to be rough so just stop running away from problems because it’s just going to create more. Dally and Sodapop both kind of remind me of myself because I don’t care about nothing but I can understand people and the different things they like and nothing don’t scare me. I think the theme of this story is to be your brothers keeper.
Spirited Away was a global hit and the first anime to win the Best Animated Feature Award at the Academy Awards. As a result, it must have universal themes that people from around the world can relate to. One of the major universal themes within Spirited Away is that it is a coming-of-age story focusing on a young girl becoming her own brave and independent person. Chihiro starts the film as a nervous and slightly annoying young girl who is told what to do by everyone and lacks confidence in her actions. However, after her parents are turned into pigs and she is employed at the bathhouse, she must take the initiative to save herself and the people that she cares about. Throughout the movie, she grows into a person who takes risks and saves her family and Haku, something that would have been unimaginable at the beginning of the film. The coming-of-age theme is popular across all cultures, such as the British Harry Potter series and the recent Disney hit, Moana, and is something all can relate to because everyone must grow up.
The first one tells the messages as to prepare for the days of necessity, and never become idle. Though we have problems in groups or organizations, we don’t criticize them because we fear to stand out among people, therefore we stand with them. (And we know it makes a lot of stress for us). The second one also tells to be honest, because “A liar won’t be believed even when he speaks the truth.” This is common not only for a personal, but when you read this story, this boy makes a trouble for people. Japanese prefer these kinds of stories, and Aesop’s Fables contains a lot of stories, but I can understand why we talk about them, in the TV, media, because these message is the same as what we believe. We don’t like a kinds of “t The Wolf and the Lamb”.
Romero (1989) is an American Hollywood biopic directed by Australian filmmaker John Duigan, and was the first feature film to be produced by Paulist Pictures; a Roman Catholic production company. Romero depicts the life and work of Salvadoran Archbishop Óscar Romero, a liberation theologist who opposed the tyrannical repression in El Salvador during the 20th century, and was consequently assassinated in 1980 while offering Mass in the chapel of the Hospital of Divine Providence. A significant theme explored in Romero is that of liberation theology; a movement that developed within the Catholic Church in Latin America in the 1950s and 1960s. Drawing on one particular sequence from the film, I will explore how liberation theology is used as a
The 2014 motion picture film Maleficent has been widely praised, as well as harshly critiqued, in Ashley Wyman’s article, Maleficent (2014). Maleficent was seen as “…the most evil Disney villain for over 50 years…” until this movie appeared, reducing a villain to a woman who acted out of revenge (weebly.com). Even though the actors portrayed their characters very well, the original storyline and purpose of showing the backstory of a villain was lost in poor visual effects, new driving forces, and twisted morals.
Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, by Gregory Maguire, takes place in the Land of Oz. It actually takes place forty years before The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, written by L.

Maleficent was not always involved with horns and destroying the majesty’s happiness (Maleficent | Movie Review). She was not always the mistress of all evil, hiding behind her powerful dark spells. Individuals, until this day, continue to say that there are two sides to every story. The evil queen who children grew up fearing is not too terrifying after all. The fierce woman who ruined a princess's youth is now being admired after watching Maleficent. When the director takes advantage of a well created fairytale and adjusts the storyline in the right direction, it creates a different dynamic. The movie, Maleficent, takes an adventurous twirl to introduce the movie fanatics an unusual queen with black horns. Maleficent introduces a strategic
