                   Expansion:

Love takes time and effort

A.    Without enough time, people do not know each other enough which will lead to a result that people imagine their lovers too perfect that once time destroys their fancy for lovers which means they cannot understand each other or they cannot stand the lovers’ shortcoming, they may finally find that she or he is not the person they really love.  

B.     If someone think he or she fall in love with another, and they do not spend much time together to know each other, the most possible reason that lead them to fall into love is they are appealed by the good appearance of each other, however, human will get old and human always want something or someone new, so appearance can bring someone who is drawn into the beautiful or handsome appearance, but character can decide whether people can love each other.

C.     In Cinderella story, Cinderella and prince just stay with each other for one night, the time is so limited, how much they can know about another, even the prince cannot remember the appearance of Cinderella that he can only find Cinderella by shoe.

Marriage plot lead to passive influence.

A.    Marriage was used as a tool to get stuff such as wealth and upper class, but now marriage is not only a ceremony but also means sincere combination of people. Marriage plot tries to bring the old opinion to society.

B.     Marriage plot sends people a signal that women’s success depend on marriage, and also lead the girls to be passive: since marriage can bring success, why do they need to fight, their husbands can deal everything for them.

C.     In long history, women are always the appendant of men, social class is different between men and women, and women use quite a few time and much effort to fight the unequal society, if girls believe the marriage plot and depend on men, they are wasting the consequence that women used to fight.

Marriage without love cannot bring happiness

A.    Without love, people will not care about their partners and the careless can lead to loneness, much loneness cannot make people happily ever after, it can only bring crazy.

B.     Every relationship need respect, if the marriage without love, it probably lost respect too, people will not think for their partners if they don’t have any emotion.

Response to Shrek: Parody or Form of Retaliation

   “Shrek: Parody or Form of Retaliation” makes a point that <Shrek> is not only Parody but Form of Retaliation. This essay expose the conflict between Jeffrey Katzenberg and Michael Eisner to public. Katzenberg announced that Disney had defaulted his wage when he was employed by Disney and Disney had got profit because of his movies. Due to the conflict, <Shrek >is considered as a retaliation to Disney. Because the obvious difference that Katzenberg point out that everyone has right to receive love, no matter who they are, which is satire for Disney.

  As far as I am concerned, it is the parody and the idea of <Shrek> which is a satire to Disney attracts audiences. Throw off the conflict between Katzenberg and Eisner, what I see is think outside the box makes Katzenberg get huge success. The satire for Disney movies can be considered as a retaliation, but it can be considered as breaking the way of Disney, and it not only sets me pondering on the important of drop out of some “normal” routine but also how to use an appropriate way to get the objective with opponent’s “help”

Thesis: technology improves education

Quote: Thanks to technology, we can instantly communicate across the world, but it still doesn't help us know what to say.

Explanation: according to Jonathan Henry Sacks, a rabbi, philosopher and scholar of Judaism, technology is a tool to commutate with outside world, but it cannot replace education. However, there is no doubt that the modern education is always corrected which owes to the development of technology that lead people to know about truth and the world. Technology can’t teach people to know about knowledge, but without technology, the education that people receives is always same and the wrong opinions are hard to correct, which is the reason why technology improve education.

              Response to Insight from a Cinderella story

Cinderella, the main character of the story establishes a positive image that no matter how difficult situation she faced with, she never gives up her dream, it is her insight that save her heart and finally achieve her dream. It is the theme to praise the good quality, however, there are also some subtle detail to show meaningful symbols.  

There is no doubt that the saddest thing for Cinderella is lost her father who loves her so much, and after her father’s death, Cinderella has to face the fact that she isn’t the favorite girl in family any more, she has to stand the ill-treatment, which just like the children have the face the cruelty of the society when they leave their parents’ help. Furthermore, the grey of Cinderella also emblems her pain for her father’s death which demonstrates that people always need much time to get out the pain, the stepsister also stand the peacockish personality and there are also many meaning in the story and most the symbols are represented in a small details which are always ignored. By observing the these symbols, it is helpful to realize the importance of detail for plot development and the details can lead readers to find more meaning of the story.

Reading story just focus on the plots will miss many details, analyzing the details is also a way to analyze inside world which makes us think further and deeper.

          Response to Why the Marriage Plot Need Never Get Old

With the feminism developing, marriage is not the most important part for women any more. However, it seems a disaster for the novels which are related to the main characters’ marriage, and there is an instance in the article that Anna Karenina kills herself because she left her husband which also ruin her life, but now the heroine in contemporary novel will be busy with the custody battle and remarry. In the former novels, the social repression for the main characters demonstrates the power of love, which attracts the readers most. Nowadays women have the right to divorce for themselves, however, from my perspective, the marriage plot will not be out of style because of it.

On a hand, marriage plays an important role in everyone’s life, and the person you choose is who you want to live with her/ him for the rest of your life or at least a part of your life, so marriage will not be separate with love, although divorce is legal, it is not a reason to use marriage as a tool to get money. On the other hand, in brief, the conflict comes from the social life and human nature which means the conflict won’t be influenced by outsides situation, for example Madmen Bovary does not a successful is because the her character, divorce cannot solve her problem.

 In a conclusion, the plots which are related to emotions and play important role in people’s life such as marriage will not get old.

                  Response to Mutant Right

It is ridiculous to deny that mutant human is human. The mutant human have the same appear as human, they can consider and they can do everything human do. However, Sherrie and Indie tried to find the leak of doll definition to prove that mutant human did not belong to the scope of human being, and the reason why they did it just for the money, just for cut down the tax. For money, they even prove that mutant in regular family is also not human being which means the mutant have to live in the shadow of being excluding by everyone. Sherrie and Indie have rubbed humanity..

From my perspective, mutant human is also human. For example, if the mutant were not human, all marvel heroes would not be human. The meaning of marvel movies or novels has been changed, people hope that marvel heroes to protect them, but people still fear and hate them, the positive meaning has been destroyed a lot. Furthermore, denying mutant also show the unequal to the mutant, and depriving the mutant right also shows that people exclude the person or things which is strong and uncontrolled. I think we are not tolerant enough to mutant, and when the judge rules that all marvel heroes are not human, the humanity for mutant is destroyed.
