Explanation: The story Under the Waves theme is about embracing what make you unique from everyone else. I believe it is important for children to understand that they should not give up their unique interests because of what others think. The story also teaches that it is okay to be different and not follow the group. Many times you have to venture off on your own to discover an exciting adventure. The story Under the Waves is also related to one of my other creative writing assignment The Shy
The piece I chose to write about that we learned in class is the movie Alice in Wonderland. The movie is about a girl, Alice, who has a dream about chasing a white rabbit into this magic hole, where she meets odd characters and must stay on the Queens good side. The movie was made in 1951 and was produced by Walt Disney. The idea of Alice in Wonderland came from a book written in 1865 called Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Look-Glass by Lewis Carroll. Walt Disney was working on the
girl in an insane world, or an insane girl in a sane world? I’m still trying to figure this out. And so they locked me up inside this limbo of a center. But fear not, I still have my imagination. At least, that’s what I call it. I see the white fur thing of a rabbit baiting me to follow him daily. His anxiety for time startles me day and night. He screams and screams until I follow him to unknown places. And when I do go with him, I rarely ever come back. It’s like a dream I never wake up from. I’m
Still Alice is a movie about Alice Howland, a professor at Columbia University majoring in linguistics. During one of Alice’s lectures she forgot a word and during a jog she does everyday, she became lost. Alice went to her doctor who diagnosed her with early onset Familial Alzheimer’s Disease. The director has used Sounds, Costumes and Cinematography that is used in the movie to develop the character of Alice Howland.

to see a white rabbit would indicate a forthcoming death in a person that was currently ill (Russell, H. (1925). Through the Celtic tribes it was noted that it was taboo to eat rabbit meat, quoting to do so ‘was like eating one’s own grandmother’ (Ezpeleta, A. 1996) this shows us the importance of rabbits and how highly they were regarded throughout history, whilst elsewhere it was considered that eating rabbit meat would cause beauty and vitality. The Celtics also believed that rabbits burrowed
Rabbit Genetics The similarity between the physiology of rabbits and humans makes the rabbit a good model for research into human disease. The most prevalent types of rabbits are cottontails and European rabbits. Domestic rabbits are tame assortments of European rabbits. The Californian, Florida White, and New Zealand White are the most common breeds used in research. Until 1912 rabbits were classified as rodents. Scientists discovered that the two types of animals differed in several distinct anatomical
The small group of rabbits that left their original warren, Sandleford, to find a new home often uses their little spare time to listen to stories generally told by Dandelion. These stories are often about the Thousand Enemies and how they are a threat to the rabbits, especially El-ahrairah. Humans are presented as one of the “Thousand.” The author of the book, Richard Adams, displays man in a negative way because of this. Man is portrayed as violent, nonsensical, and abusive to the natural way of
Richard Adams' classic novel Watership Down isn't simply a book about rabbits.

The Rabbits by John Marsden and Shaun Tan is a simple but revealing picture book that satirically depicts the historical tragedy of the past aboriginals during the first and last settlement of the Europeans and ridiculing the Europeans behaviour using animal illustrations. The book is set in an indigenous point of view with the specific use of words and illustrations, as the story is told and viewed by the unexpected arrival of an unknown species called “The Rabbits.” This gives the readers an insight

However the activities, physical and mental, actions and behaviour demonstrated by the rabbits in Watership Down are typically the things that humans would expect from rabbits. This said, Charlotte’s behaviour in Charlotte’s Web, is what we might expect to see from a human being. Her spinning of the web with a word or two in it is not common activities for spiders.
