A risk can be involved with so many things whether it’s good or bad. It sometimes results in an expected outcome or just an event that is horrible and unpredicted. It is important in life to take chances Hua Mulan is a Chinese warrior she decided to fight for her father in the war. She took a great risk in joining the brawl against a skilled ancient warrior. Nobody knew that she joined or where she was. At first she didn’t succeed living around men bathing the same time they did, it was hard for her to get by, trying not to show that she was actually a girl who belonged not surrounded men but back with the gender of her kind. Sometimes I don’t know how she survived, she would take long walks wrestle with the guys and had to show that she was
Everyone has taken risks whether they be big or not, they will lead you down the path you choose in life. In the short stories Beowulf, Black Heart, and The Deep taking risks was a big part in all three. In Beowulf, there is many risks that he took, but the main one was that he risked his life to save the people that he loved. In the second book Black Heart by Mark Brazaitis, the girl risked her life to make friends with something she knew could kill her because she was so lonely. In the final book, The Deep by Anthony Doerr the main character made risks every day because he never knew if he was going to wake up to see the next.
Taking a risk is something very few people are willing to do. If you think about it all the greats had to take a risk before they succeed in anything. In The Odyssey, Odysseus takes a huge risk fighting in wars, trying to get back to his beloved Penelope. Much like Vincent Willem van Gogh , A painter, who took huge risks living off of his art, but now he is One of the greatest painters of all times. They both risked their lives to succeed in something great.Van Gogh could have gone broke and starved to death Odysseus could have died at sea or in war. People take risks every time they get up and present a paper or show people there art work. You could mess up, but you also could succeed. This quote from book twelve, “ But as I sent them on toward
In Walt Disney Pictures’ Mulan, Disney attempts to retell the story of Chinese heroine, Hua Mulan, who is described in the Chinese poem, The Ballad of Mulan .The legend begins by telling the story an old man, who has no elder sons, who has been called up to fight in the Chinese army. Knowing that her father will likely face death, Mulan concedes to fight in his place and pretend to be a man, unbeknownest to her fellow soldiers. The movie builds off this premise as we are told the fictional account of Mulan’s life from before she took her father’s place to after.
Disney proclaims that the adaptations of the Chinese story of Mulan is to transform ethnic materials into a “timeless” or “universal” classic (Kurtti 1998). Peter Schneider, Disney Feature Animation President, avers that “the search for who we are, the search for self, it an ever-ongoing process and universal theme” (Kurtti 1998, 189). Guided by this principle, Disney appropriated the Mulan story into its typical formula of a hero’s journey of self-discovery. The film features Mulan as a tomboyish girl who could not fit in the traditional gender role in China. She dressed like a man and went to fight the war against the Huns in her father’s place. Only in the military – a men’s world traditionally – Mulan could “be true to herself” and prove herself. Eventually Mulan single-handedly won the war, saved the Chinese kingdom, and lived happily ever after (Brown, 64-66). This, in my opinion is an interesting message to the world, that reflect how women can achieve anything in this world given the strength, courage and bravery that she could attain in a man’s dominated world. Mulan represents a women of substance, who achieved great heights due to her courage. This is a very insightful and thought-provoking message that highly justifies the idea behind the story.
The story of the great Chinese female warrior, Hua Mulan, first appeared as a ballad titled “Ode to Mulan” in approximately 500 A. D. In the ballad, there is a young woman by the name of Mulan who is feeling dejected because she has just gone into town where she saw lists of men’s names who are being called to serve in the Chinese army. One man on the list is Mulan’s crippled father. Because she has no older brother who can take his place, Mulan, with the consent of her parents, then decides to go to the marketplace and buy a horse and saddle so that she may go to war. Mulan leaves and fights in the war against the Huns for twelve years. When she returns, her troop is honore...
Feifei Wang, author of the article: How is Disney 's Mulan perceived in China, describes Mulan as, “a straight out American movie decorated with Chinese accessories to make it interesting and exotic.” One reason for this is the process of Mulan trying to find her true self throughout the movie. Chinese audiences received this as Mulan promoting herself above the others instead. While people in China see the importance refining yourself by exercising self-control, diligence, and cleverness, they believe that you should do that unpretentiously. That you should blend in with crowd; not stick out from it. Alongside this reason another reason arises. The Mulan portrayed in the classic Disney film is too feminist for Chinese tradition. To a Chinese person Disney’s Mulan does not see a strong, independent woman who can do what a man can do as good character. Rather a bad character who disregards vital aspects of Chinese culture by committing such acts as: running to army in her father’s place without permission and falling in love on her own accord/not having an arranged marriage set up by a match maker. Both of these actions would have unthinkable, especially for a woman, within traditional Chinese culture. And it would be considered more a part of Western culture not East Asian. Later made Chinese version of Mulan did not focus on gender issues, but on
The legend states that Hua Mulan lived during the Northern Wei dynasty. She is a mythical figure from ancient China portrayed in the Chinese poem, Ballad of Mulan. Though both princess warrior show and movie, The Legend of Hua Mulan and Disney’s Mulan have different character personalities and reasons of going to war. The Legend of Hua Mulan is straightforward and seeks to depict Mulan as a warrior. Disney’s Mulan, however, depicts Mulan as trying to prove her parents wrong and bring home a man as in all Disney movies. This shows that Hua Mulan is a better role to girls that Disney’s Mulan.
The classic Disney movie, Mulan, is often praised as a film involving feminist empowerment, but upon closer look just the opposite appears to be true. The classic storyline includes Mulan, a young Chinese woman, taking over her fragile father’s place in the Chinese army, disguised as a man named Ping. She trains among the other soldiers, becoming one of the very best with her accompanying guardian dragon, Mushu and a cricket her grandmother gave her for luck for the matchmakers by her side. She ends up saving all of China by revealing that the Huns are back and invading the country, and is honored as a hero. This movie breaks away from the typical damsel in distress princess story by having a single woman save all of China. However, on Mulan’s journey she faced extreme female shaming, and experienced stereotypes attempting to belittle her; all
For those who have forgotten, Mulan tells the story of a young Chinese woman who runs away from home dressed as a man to join the army in her father’s
Risks are essence of life. In the beginning, they are our instinct. Risks are the essence of life. In the beginning, they are our instinct. We learn to crawl despite the bruises on our knees and elbows. We learn to walk despite the many falls we endure. But as we get older and gain a greater consciousness of the world around us, somewhere along the way we are presented with failure. At that point, we begin to fear the pain of failure and try to eliminate most risks from our life. However, where would we be without our sense of exploration, our willingness to and to try new things despite the pitfalls that await us? The saying goes, “No pain, no gain.” That attitude is characteristic of all great thinkers and innovators in our society.
