    In her story, "Full Cicada Moon", Marilyn Hilton exhibits the theme "how communities deal with differences" in several ways. Hilton conveys a story about an adolescent half African American and half Japanese girl in a novel-in-verse book. The book talks about fitting in and standing up for what is right.

The town follows the conception that sheltered towns struggle to accept differences. As Mimi arrives at her new town, Mimi has noticed the confusion about her ethnicity. An example of this is

    On page 77 of the book Full Cicada Moon by Marilyn Hilton, Mrs. Stanton says, “Our dreams are a serious matter. When you take them seriously, everyone else does too.” This quote helps the reader understand more about the theme of dreams. In the story, Mimi wants to be an astronaut, but gender and racial stereotypes cause people believe her dreams aren’t serious. Mimi has to try and pursue her dreams anyway, and not let anyone stop her. A time when Mimi faces gender stereotypes is when she tells the class she wants to be an astronaut, but everyone laughs at her. This may have made Mimi feel like her dreams were unrealistic, and she may have felt like her dreams were crushed. Although it may have been difficult, her parents, her friends, and

  • Differences Between the Grimm Brother's and Disney's Cinderella

    1372 Words  | 3 Pages

    Fairytales, the short stories that most children heard as they went to bed, are actually folktales from previous decades. The fairytales today are primarily adaptations of older versions recreated by Disney— the pioneers of this generation. With that said, the modern versions consistently display good triumphing over evil, a prince charming that constantly came to the rescue, and a happily ever after ending. However, the original folktale version didn’t always come with fortunate events, but often were more violent and gruesome. With the fairytale Cinderella, Disney maintains a similar theme as its Grimm version; however, the conflicts, events, and characters that support this idea are rather different.

He asks the three girls what they wanted him to bring back for them. The two sisters wanted very expensive dresses, while Belle only asked for one single rose.
