Kermit The Frog

314 Words1 Page

Kermit the Frog's quote can be interpreted in various ways. When taken literally the audience may be quick to form a rebuttal as Kermit is often depicted as living a lavish lifestyle in which he is a movie star and had a fabulous girlfriend. However, some counter arguments may address the difficulties of being famous and maintaining a relationship thus supporting his statement.
An alternative interpretation is that it is difficult to show your true self. Although the animals are all humanoids Kermit's green skin still, shines through. This shows that as much as we pretend to be something else (in this case a human) our true nature (a green frog) will always shine through. Furthermore, the scriptwriter has an important job of instilling positive

    In the first paragraph Dillard begins by using humor and actions to convey a sense of childlike innocence into her main character. This child has no worries and enjoys instilling “dire panic” into the frogs she finds milling about the island. Whenever the main character finds a frog still in a puddle the tone shifts to quiet and scientific. This tone shift is whenever the author stops talking about frogs in general and focuses in on one singular frog. She describes the frog as having “wide dull eyes” and “glistening skin”, then the frog begins to collapse “like

    JIM HENSON Jim Henson was born on September 24, 1936, in Greenville, Mississippi. He moved to Maryland in fifth grade and throughout his childhood had a strong interest in both art and television. His grandmother was very supportive of his interests and constantly encouraged him to use his imagination. In 1954 Jim started in television performing puppets on a local channel’s Saturday morning program. The next year, while studying at the University of Maryland, he was given a five-minute show called Sam and Friends which aired twice a day. This show introduced the first Muppets, marionette puppets. The success of this show led him to many appearances on shows such as The Today Show and The Steve Allen Show. During this time Jim began making many humorous commercials for sponsors. With weekly appearances on these shows, Jim asked for the help of a puppet maker name Don Sahlin and a puppeteer name Frank Oz. "From 1964 to 1969 Henson produced several experimental films." In the mid-60’s Jim was asked to create characters to populate a new children’s show, Sesame Street. It was here where he made some of his most famous characters such as Ernie and Bert, Oscar the Grouch, Cookie Monster, and Big Bird. On this show Jim produced over two dozen shorts to teach counting and other basics. Soon after his fame on Sesame Street Jim, after promoting the idea for The Muppet Show for years, finally received backing to produce. On this show the most famous Muppet of all, Kermit the Frog, was introduced along with Miss Piggy, Rizzo the Rat, Rowlf the Dog, Fozzie Bear, and of course Gonzo the Whatever. The Muppet Show became the most widely viewed television program in the world. From this show many movies and spin-off television shows have been produced. Jim Henson died in 1990 from pneumonia right after his last project for Muppet Vision 3-D, an attraction for Disney World, and right before he was going to sell his company to Disney Studios. Today his son runs and owns the Henson Company. Jim Henson possessed many lovable qualities about him but his most important characteristic was his creativity. Jim Henson created characters that were out of this world and quite unexpected. Jim Henson also had an extraordinary sense of humor, which attracted young and old to his television shows. Jim Henson once said, "Nobody creates a fad.

  • Frankenstein: Don't Judge a Monster Based on His Appearance

    1505 Words  | 4 Pages

    Do not judge a book by its cover. A famous American proverb that says a person’s character cannot by judged by their appearance. A prime example of this is the monster from Frankenstein. On the outside, he has a terrible appearance but he is a kind soul simply looking for a little compassion. He is a victim however due to his monstrous appearance and is left in bitter misery in the story. Both the book and the play present him as a sufferer in a cruel world but ultimately the book does a better job portraying his pain and creating compassion for him. The monster in the book details his suffering in greater detail, is more eloquent and persuasive and also experiences a more tragic ending and as a result a reader feels more sympathy towards him than an audience member would feel towards the monster in the play.

Walt Disney is not only a role model to kids and adults, he is also a leader for the world. Therefore, when I was asked to think of a person who is most deserving to be honored with their own postage stamp, Walt Disney was the first person I though of. Julie Williams, an elementary school teacher, said to her class and posted online “Since stamps are first class, your designs should be designed to look first class (Education).” With that being said I believe Mr. Walter Elias Disney should be granted the honor and respect to be used as a postage stamp design for his various feats of determination, creativity and, passion.
