The sparkling lights fly through the air every year, signaling another year that the princess has been missing. Tangled is exciting and is a never ending adventure. Her long hair is kept a secret in the tower by the witch. This twist on Rapunzel teaches kids to follow their dreams and never give up.
Everyone has dreams in life. Whether it's becoming a millionaire, acing a test, or going bungee jumping everyone has something they want to achieve in life. In the story Rapunzel's dream happens to be wanting to see the floating lights. To achieve your dreams in life you have to work hard and be brave. Rapunzel wouldn't have left the tower if Flynn had never come to the tower. Everyone needs someone to give them that final push so they will achieve their goals.
Rapunzel wasn't the only one with a dream in the story. Almost every character in the story had a dream. I didn’t realize this at first because their dreams weren't broadcasted as much. The wicked mother had a dream of staying young forever. The parents had a dream of finding their long lost daughter, and Flynn had a dream of becoming rich. This story taught kids a good lesson because all the characters worked hard and all their dreams were achieved (except the wicked mother).
Although people think kids movies are cheesy and boring, it's good to watch one with a good lesson every once and awhile. Because Rapunzel never gave up and kept working her dream was achieved.
I thought this was a good piece of writing, the introduction I didn't really understand what the essay was going to be about but the rest was really good.
ReplyDeleteI liked your second to last paragraph. I didn't realize until now that everyone had a dream in the story.
ReplyDeleteWhen you get into the meaning of the story in the second paragraph, I really started to enjoy the piece -- a smile growing on my face. You know, even those old stories we heard as children have meaning to them, and your ability to see that in the simple movie is pretty cool. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI thought the same about the book too. Dreams seemed very important to the story. I didn't notice that everyone in the story had a dream at first, until you mentioned it. That third paragraph is probably your strongest paragraph in this writing piece. I thought your introduction could have leaned more toward dreams, but overall, I thought this piece was good.
ReplyDeleteThis is a pretty good essay. For the most part, the thesis was clear, and you made good points. You should try putting better words into the story.
