I would want a roommate that is responsible, caring, accepting, and has a sense of adventure. Belle from Beauty and the Beast would be the fictional character that I would want as a roommate. She is a person that knows her boundaries but is still willing to go past them if it means helping others or adventure. Belle is also aware that other people have their own boundaries and will respect them. When the Beast pushes her away and treats her poorly, she continues to help him see that there is still good in the world despite what he seems to believe. Part of her being so accepting is due to her unconventional methods of looking at things. She does not judge things as quickly as other people and gets to know what she is facing before judging.
If great writers are able to escape the influences of their era and write in a timeless fashion, then Jeanne Marie LePrince de Beaumont is certainly not a great writer. Beaumont wrote Beauty and the Beast in eighteenth-century France during the reign of Louis XV. It was a time when the enormous bourgeoisie population was slowly growing in independent wealth, yet remained grossly overtaxed and starved. These peasants were systematically excluded from the aristocracy and the workings of government. France was a stronghold of the dying feudal-influenced monarchy system, in which the king declared himself an absolute monarch with the divine right to rule as awarded to his bloodline from God. Because of the works of the Enlightenment, commoners were growing more aware of this abusive monarchy-peasant relationship and, consequently, less inclined to accept the royal rule from Versailles (Brainard).
The first and most noticeable change which happened to the Disney’s princesses is the existence of woman of color as the princesses. From the first princess movie in 1937, Disney exclusively uses a White woman or a Caucasian woman as the princess - from Snow White to Belle, all of these princesses are White women. Though the notion of racial discrimination abolishment had been reverberated since 1950s in America, only on the sixth movie in 1992 the first colored princess, Jasmine, appeared as the official Disney’s princess. After Jasmine, impressively and consecutively, Disney releases three more princesses from colored women before using White women again as the princesses.

Not all roommates will be your best friends but not all will be your enemy. It is important to know during your young adult life, which types of people are compatible for your personality to ensure a smooth and fun living experience.
Out of the ten learner profile attributes, these three describe Allie’s personality best: inquirer, risk-taker, and thinker.
In 2008 the first woman was awarded the position of Speaker of the House, and Hillary Clinton ran for president. While Hillary had widespread support leading people to believe that the two different genders had reached equality, there were several that doubted whether or not a woman has what it takes to be a president. The women that came into power that was generally held by men, needed to perform a balancing act. This balancing act was between the characteristics of women and projecting the masculine strength and leadership needed to hold their position (Jenen 14). This problem in society has been continuing on for a long time. In the 1970’s women had no standing in academia. That women were no use to the department they were studying and
Beauty and the Beast is one of the oldest fairytales known to man. A little bit of fantasy with a little bit of fiction. It provides life lessons that society, deems important to learn. Throughout the years one lesson has remained constant beauty is only skin deep. Generation to generation the story has been passed down, changing ever so slightly but still maintaining that fairytale edge. Differences are slim but still recognizable. In Beaumont's version that we had read in class Beauty and the Beast is told more for an older crowd because of the language and dialogue as well as the ability to understand it, but the message was the same as the Disney version just the Disney version isn’t as in depth.
“…the witch took her to the middle of the forest and shut her up in a tower that had neither stairs nor door, but only a little window at the very top.” (p. 74) A feeling of suspense is instilled just by reading this single line in “Rapunzel” by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. Elements evoking emotion in a story, such as suspense, increase the degree of entertainment thereby enhancing quality and enjoyment factors. This story is both superficially entertaining and subconsciously intriguing. Exploring the symbolism of images such as the tower, the open window at the top of it and Rapunzel’s long hair will begin to satisfy this curiosity.
The media of a time, whether stories, movies or music, generally reflect the thoughts and issues of that time. In all the variations of “Beauty and the Beast”, by Janne-Marie LePrince de Beaumont and Angela Carter, the father “gives” his daughter to a beast. Each author either embraces or rejects the idea of fathers giving away their daughters by examining the reasons for arranged marriages and the effect it has on both the daughters and their fathers. LePrince de Beaumont rejects arranged marriages by almost mocking the idea, while Carter seems to embrace the thought.
The work of literature that I feel best reflects communion as mentioned in the book is, The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe written by C.S. Lewis. In this work of literature, communion in terms of sharing meals with one another occurs quiet often from the beginning of the story. In the beginning when Edmund (2nd youngest of the four siblings) enters Narnia, his first encounter is with the White Witch and this meeting becomes a communion because her first approach to Edmund was an offering of any kind of food that he wished for. Edmund and the White Witch met for the first time, yet her offering of food to him changed this because it was a way for her to show Edmund that he should join her side and that she would take good care of him. The
Over centuries of children have been enjoying the classic fairy tales of the Grimm Brothers and Charles Perrault. The fanciful plots and the vivid details allow children to be entranced by characters and adventures that can only be found in these stories. One of the most beloved fairy tales, which both the Perrault and the Grimms have their own separate versions of, is Cinderella. Cinderella is able to show how both versions are able to feed off the same plots while personifying the century and social economic situation in which they have lived.
“The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” is a story about four siblings, the Pevensies, who discover another world from inside a dresser within their professor’s home. This other world is called Narnia. Lucy, the youngest of the siblings is the first to discover this new world when she enters the dresser and realizes it has no ending point. When she ends up in this cold world she meets a faun named Tumnus. He is in this other world ruled by the White Witch ordered to capture “brothers and sisters of Adam and Eve.” When Tumnus tells Lucy what he has done to other humans, who have entered this secret world, she begs him to spare her life. This weighs heavily on his conscience, and he escorts her back to Earth before anyone finds out she was ever in Narnia and set free. When Lucy comes
What words come to mind when you think of someone that has character? There are many different ways to describe someone who has good character and some of the qualifications are integrity, loyalty, and faith. Would you consider yourself a person of good character?
A few I found accurate include: outgoing, perfectionist, assertive, loving, organized, involved, open, leader, ambitious and complimentary. The ones I found questionable are attention seeking, easily hurt, emotional and image conscious. The two items I found to be unagreeable are hyperactive and group oriented (The latter item being one of my greatest personal struggles because I prefer to work alone.) Finally, the laughable item is anti-tattoos; laughable because it is painfully accurate, and I often threaten my son with bodily harm if ever he comes home with
You have to take into consideration of what kind of food you are eating because you need to remember everyone has different likes and dislikes. Especially if you are both home at the same time for meal times. Cleaning actually gets mom or else your roommate does not think you are a cleanly person. When you are living with someone you cannot have gross habits, most of the time if that happens no one wants to be your roommate. When you are combining two peoples skills, you can work together to get things done in a professionally amount of time.
My impression of beauty comes from a lot of different experiences and could be divided up in various ways. First of all, I think that true beauty is different for everyone. Let 's take physical beauty, for example. Each culture defines ideal physical appearance in different ways. The way I see it, everybody is born different from each other. I mean, sure, we all strive to look like the slim/muscular models we see in the media, but if everyone achieved that goal, then we 'd all look the same. This thought kind of goes hand-in-hand with trying to achieve "normalcy". There 's the ordinary and the extraordinary, and I feel like people pressure themselves to make the extraordinary into a standard. But again, we aren 't meant to be clones of each
