Finding Nemo...The Independence He Deserves
Through much thought and contemplating, one character that I thought made significant changes throughout the movie is Marlin. Now Marlin is a clownfish from the movie Finding Nemo. Marlin makes several changes throughout the movie based solely on the problems that he is faced with and the way that he chooses to handle them. He is faced with four major problems and the choices that he makes to react to those problems changes his entire view on life. He is face with the loss of a majority of his family, confrontation with death, and finally he finds what he truly wants in life.
Marlin is a clownfish who, along with his wife, lives on the edge of a coral reef in an anemone. He is what anyone can guess, a "newlywed." He, along with his wife Coral, lives in the anemone where they have just laid a spawn of eggs. They come to a quick decision of what to name their children. Half will be named Marlin Jr. and the other half will be named Coral Jr. Although there decisions were made quickly Coral wants to name one child Nemo.
During the process of the eggs maturing enough to hatch their reef is attacked by a barracuda. While this attack is going on the barracuda goes for their eggs and attempting to protect his family Marlin is knocked unconscious and is in that state over night. When he comes to he learns that all of the eggs and Coral are gone. The only thing left from the massacre is one egg which is damaged, he names this one Nemo. Years go by and we come to find out that as a result of his encounter, Marlin has become

... and find ways that they change, even if it is in the slightest bit. The reason that I chose to use Finding Nemo and the character Marlin, is because he is the character in the movie that undoubtedly changes the most. Like any main character in any movie he is faced with challenges along the way and the ways that you can tell they changes the most is the way that they react to those such challenges. Marlin was faced with the loss of most of his family and he changed, he became paranoid and overprotective of his son. He looked danger in the face

and he became courageous and found that even though things may look dangerous, they always aren't as they appear. And finally he listened to the advice of the creatures around him and he came to trust in others as he would expect others to trust him. He found what he was looking for in life, happiness.
Marlin received the call and took the challenge. When Nemo went to the first day of school he wandered off into the ocean. He went to go touch the boat and he was trapped by a fisher. Marlin didn't
The documentary follows an Orca by the name of Tilikum. Tilikum had been involved in three deaths, including a Marine Biologist named Dawn Brancheau, who was killed by Tilikum while performing with him. The film also highlights why keeping whales in captivity is dangerous and also touches on the death of Dawn Brancheau who was faulted for her own death due to her ponytail hanging low.
Many time in our lives, we have seen the transformation of novels into movies. Some of them are equal to the novel, few are superior, and most are inferior. Why is this? Why is it that a story that was surely to be one of the best written stories ever, could turn out to be Hollywood flops? One reason is that in many transformations, the main characters are changed, some the way they look, others the way they act. On top of this, scenes are cut out and plot is even changed. In this essay, I will discuss some of the changes made to the characters of the Maltese Falcon as they make their transformation to the ?big screen.?
The characters all retain the heart of their namesakes. There is a cocky playfulness to Pete, and yet he is also easily imagined as a charismatic and fair leader. Bella has Tink's jealousy, loyalty, and cleverness. Gwen is a girl on the verge of becoming a woman. She is also brave, and compassionate. The author is careful to keep their essence but moulds it to create characters that are wholly her own. She allows their circumstances and experiences to shape who they are and this makes them feel all the more real. Captain Hook is, perhaps, the character that is most changed. He's given a backstory that serves to illuminate his motivations.
A motherless tiny clown fish named Nemo who was born with a birth defect, and was raised by his overprotective father, is for the first time allowed to go to school. His friends dare him to swim into the open sea and touch the "butt." Meaning to spite his dad and fit in with his new-found friends, Nemo swims all the way out to the “butt” and touches it forever changing his life. Giving into the peer pressure resulted in a series of unfortunate events that shapes young Nemo’s character forever.
One other lesson is that he learned was to trust. And to trust the gods that
It all started with an early evening of September, on the day Michael bought his favorite pet, a goldfish. It was nothing special as a common goldfish: dark eyes, golden and orange fish scales, a triangular tail, and a silly look with a pouted mouth. It was a female, but Michael named her David.
A transformation took place during the story and it is evident through the narrator?s character. In the beginning he was lacking in compassion, he was narrow minded, he was detached, he was jealous, and he was bitter. Carver used carefully chosen words to illustrate the narrator?s character and the change. Throughout the story his character undergoes a transformation into a more emotionally aware human being.
One day he would be fun and get high Lecrae another day was church Lecrae, he struggled with an identity issue, he lived two different worlds. Until one day he met God and it changed his life forever but, God had to put him through these trials to show him just how strong he really was. It is only though adversity that one can truly change and mature.
He spent all his time learning how to protect himself from dangerous people, but his parents would never let him do the things he really wanted. He wanted to meet people, and see things. The world was full of
Adaptability is one of the greatest assets people can have. Some people see it to themselves and some don’t. Though, skepticism about self-adaptability is nonexistent. Knowing about self-capability may be hard, but without even realizing everyone adapts something throughout their lives. For instance, making friends requires a person to spark a common interest. When that friendship grows, it makes it harder to break apart forcing the person to conform accordingly. Other examples can be seen in films such as “Lion,” “Hacksaw Ridge,” “Moonlight,” and “The Man Who Knew Infinity.” By knowing a character’s change, viewers will be able to perhaps realize and connect among themselves about what changes they have done in their lives.

The protagonist, Pi is initially apprehensive to accept Richard Parker on the raft, but later comes to appreciate the tiger once he realizes this animal’s presence is crucial for his survival on the boat. First, Pi is scared and reluctant to accept his shadow self because it conflicts with his character and complicates his beliefs. This is evident when he says, “Together? We’ll be together? Have I gone mad? I woke up to what I was doing […]. Let go […] Richard Parker […] I don’t want you here […]. Get lost. Drown! Drown!!” (Martel 123). Though Pi recognizes his shadow self by encouraging Richard Parker to come on the boat, he soon realizes that he is about to accept his shadow self. He instantly regrets his decision and throws an oar at him in an effort to stop Richard Parker. His action symbolizes his denial and confusion he feels towards the extent of br...
...d, learn how to forgive himself, and he had to understand what is wrong with using love in the wrong ways. Thus, through his journey he has learned that he can, on his own, make the right choices of love through his own free will because God gave us a will to choose.
Thesis: Pi’s journey is characterized better in the movie because it gets rid of excess information to get the story line along, has major effects to visually represent the story, and finishes with a definite conclusion.
