As a boy, he traveled around on ship and achieved seagoing experience. When he was a store clerk, Robert Peary hired him and introduced Henson to his new goal, which was to climb the North Pole. After a number of tries, he finally reached the top. Johnston had her dream of climbing Mt. McKinley since she was 9. She finally started her journey up the mountain on June 2nd. Although snow occasionally kept her from advancing on her path, Johnston finally touched the top on June 23rd when she was 12 years, 5 months, and 5 days old. Henson and Johnston both accomplished their dreams.

    According to dictionary.com a goal is “the result or achievement toward which effort is directed.” A goal is a checkpoint that you strive to accomplish throughout life. Reading Dillards quote makes me think of never giving up on your goals and aspirations because if you have realistic goals and work hard towards them they can be achieved. In “Living Like Weasels” Annie Dillard says humans need to live more like weasels, “noticing everything, remembering nothing” (879). This portrays the weasel as living

  • Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory as Judeo-Christian Allegory

    1524 Words  | 4 Pages

    The work centers on the world's love for the candy made by Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka, an eccentric, who for as long as anyone can remember, has been holed up in his factory to avoid industrial espionage, especially by the infamous Slugworth. Then one day Wonka announces that he is to hold a contest with five winners who will be allowed into his factory for a tour and then given a lifetime supply of his chocolate, a prize which is far more desirable to the characters than any other. This is the point in the film at which, "the plot kicks in," according to Chris Hicks of Deseret News. The winners are to be decided by a game of sorts. Five Golden Tickets are hidden in Wonka Bars and those who find them are the winners. As the excitement grows, the number of available Wonka Bars dwindles. Wonka madness ensues as the narrating newscasters in the film keep the viewer up to pace with the action through constant "this just in" style reporting.

    1336 Words  | 3 Pages

    Miller’s use of personification and symbolism in the book shows the situational irony that surrounds Willy. This highlights the overall message of blind faith towards the American Dream. The major case of irony in the book is Willy’s blind faith in the American Dream. This belief is that if one is well-liked, they will become successful. The truth is actually completely opposite. The real belief is that if one works hard, with no regard to how well liked they are, they will be successful. This relationship is shown between Willy and his neighbor Charley. While Willy believes likability is the only way to success, Charley works hard and does not care how people think of him. Through his hard work, Charley started his own business, and is now very successful. Willy, however, ends up getti...

  • Gene Wilder And Willy Wonka's Contribution To A Classic

    Being human. Not forcing it.” This is how Wilder played the part of Willy Wonka. He became the role he was playing and knew what he had to do and how he had to act to make the film so magical. Likewise, Meryl Streep said, “Acting is not about being someone different. It’s finding the similarity in what is apparently different, then finding myself in there.” Wilder knew how to find himself in the character of Wonka and that was one of the keys to the success of the character and to the film itself. The significance of Wilder’s character is displayed throughout the entire movie. Even before Wonka appears in the film, anticipation builds for his entrance. This fact is evident when an early scene of the movie is considered. Charlie passes Wonka’s factory one day and a tinker says, “Nobody ever goes in, and nobody ever comes out.” When the strange factory owner does finally appear, there is already a partial construction of the character. It is shrouded in mystery and darkness, but that fact doesn’t change much throughout the entire film until the very

    The Story of Willy Wonka and Charlie Bucket is one of great dichotomy, Mr. Wonka's extravagance and wonder seems to greatly contrast Charlies humble living conditions, even early on we see that he is a young man with little to no hope in ever getting ahead in life and improving his situation. As the story continues and during the fever to attain all the golden tickets we are shown 4 different and extreme versions of bad child behavior, from the glutenous Agustus gloop, to the ever insatiable Varuca salt, these awful children make you want to cheer to charlie and throughout all the different rooms in the factory and as they lost all the “bad” children one by one leaving charlie as the only mind possible to continue the work of the retiring Wonka, stating that Charlie would be the only one who would understand his needs because he has the “mind and imagination of a child”, Truly a story and concept that we can use in anything we hope to accomplish in our

  • The Power of Ambition

    603 Words  | 2 Pages

    We are told never to cross a bridge until we come to it, but this world is owned by men who have 'crossed bridges' in their imagination far ahead of the crowd. I was watching the Doctor Phil Show the other day, and he was talking about the five reasons for why successful people are as successful as they are. Number one on the list was a plan. A goal. A destination. An ambition. Without an ambition we have no purpose in our lives. In contrast, a goal can help us get organized and take steps towards achieving what we want in our day-to-day lives. My friend Ryan always used to tell me, and still does; “My life's ambition is to be happy with my place in, and contribution to Society.” That might be a nice thought, but is there really a workable goal there? No! “The ambitious man is essentially a visualizer and an actualizer... He can visualize something, and when he visualizes it he sees exactly how to make it happen.” - Robert L. Schwartz A person who aims at nothing is sure to hit it. We were given a brain for a reason, and this is a perfect excuse to use it.
