Pros And Cons Of Thanksgiving

In doing this he thought Christmas would not come and all of the Whos would be upset. This, however, is disproved by the singing in Christmas spirit that the Whos performed. Perplexing the Grinch, “he puzzled three hours, till his puzzler was sore… “Maybe Christmas… doesn’t come from a store… perhaps… (Christmas) means a little bit more!””(39). This revelation alters the Grinch’s perception of Christmas vastly. By allowing himself to make an effort to understand Christmas he embraced the Who culture. The Grinch was then able find why the Whos valued Christmas and enjoy the the holiday as displayed by him smiling while carving the Christmas roast

The Grinch Who Stole Christmas begins in Whoville only hours before the Cheermeister Festival. Cindy Lou is questioning the materialism that surrounds Christmas, so she nominates the Grinch as this year's Cheermeister to show that Christmas is about loving one another. She convinces the Grinch to come down from his cave and join the celebration, however, the mayor shames the Grinch in front of the entire town. This causes the Grinch to destroy the Cheermeister Festival in a fit of anger. He schemes to ruin the rest Christmas by stealing all the decorations and presents in every house in Whoville. He does so, but as he’s about to push the enormous pile of Christmas paraphernalia off the cliff to its doom he hears something. All the Whos

Eventually, it is revealed that Buddy is a human contrary to his belief that he is also an elf this leads to his quest to find his dad, Walter Hobbs. Once Buddy arrives in New York City he meets his dad who has no Christmas spirit; which, leads up to the climax when Santa’s sleigh crashes due to a loss of Christmas spirit in New York. At the end of the play Buddy gets enough Christmas spirit to fuel Santa’s sleigh back to the North Pole and issues between Buddy and Walter are resolved. The play ends with Buddy and Jovi who are now married and have a child visiting Santa at the North Pole along with Buddy’s brother, stepmom, and dad. This play had a magical effect on me while I was watching it made me believe in the power of Christmas spirit and how it bonds family and friends together. Berrenbaum’s play that was recently written holds a universal truth, which is that the holidays are about spending time with your family, while the play takes place around Christmas time the message can definitely apply to any holiday. In addition to this powerful message, it should also be noted how relatable and well conveyed it was. Throughout the play I found myself thinking about myself and my actions around holidays and I did a mental check to think of the things that I should stop doing. The play incudes what many or most of us think

. Does your neighborhood has a lot of diversity in it? In America there are a few diverse neighborhoods around us, there are not as many as it should be. I believe every city and every state should have more diverse neighborhoods, so that when their child(ren) grow up they would not just be used to living around one culture. That may also cause them to expand their horizon and exploring different countries to learn different cultures and where they came from. Another reason is because some children grow up racists just because they are not used to be around a certain culture. In the movie “what’s cooking” is a great example of what it is like to have a very diverse neighborhood. Even though some people would say there was no diversity in”What’s Cooking”, there was all type of diversity throughout this movie because of the different ways that each family would celebrate a holiday, they all were friends or knew each other, and there was a different cultured family on each corner of the street that they lived on.

When people are asked to name some of the classic Christmas movies, they are quick to say movies such as Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (1964), Frosty the Snowman (1969), and How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), but they forget to mention the dismal, chilling The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993). But why is that, doesn’t Tim Burton still show the joy that Christmas brings, but in a slightly new perspective? Aren’t The Nightmare Before Christmas and How the Grinch Stole Christmas quite similar depictions of how some may deal with the “Christmas blues”? The Nightmare Before Christmas and How the Grinch Stole Christmas both originated as poems with rhythms similar to most Christmas poems. Tim Burton and Dr. Seuss both portray the cliché themes

After his night of time travel, Scrooge is grateful for a second chance. His life becomes a beacon of light instead of a bastion of darkness.

The movie that will be used for this film review is the movie directed by Jon Favreau, Elf (2003). This is a Christmas film which follows a man who was raised by elves to 30 years of age with no human contact who then finds himself traveling to the city of New York in hopes to find his long-lost father. The human elf, Buddy, was accidentally sent to the North Pole as a baby upon crawling into Santa’s Christmas sack while he was delivering presents to the orphanage one year where Buddy once lived. This, in turn, resulted in him being taken to the North Pole where he was then raised amongst Santa and his helpers from an infant. This strips Buddy of any human contact and cuts off any

The Grinch who stole Christmas is one of my favorite Dr. Seuss books and one of my favorite Christmas movies. I found 3 things similar to one another in the book and the movie which had the Grinch who hated Christmas, the Who’s who loved Christmas, and the Grinch stole all of the presents and food. One identical thing I found in the movie and book was that the Grinch hated Christmas. If they didn’t put the Grinch’s hate for Christmas in both the book and, he would have no reason to steal Christmas and it wouldn’t have been a very good movie. The second comparison between the book and the movie was Who’s love for Christmas. This is very important because the it is the Who’s love for Christmas that causes the Grinch's hate for

Greed is an excessive or rapacious desire, especially for wealth or possessions (dictionary.com). The word “greedy” perfectly describes Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge in the movie and play of A Christmas Carol, written by Charles Dickens. Greed can be caused by a countless amount of things. It can be called almost a disease. It is terrible thing that can corrupt even the best of people. It can lead to severe consequences if the greedy person doesn’t change for the better. To stop being greedy, sometimes, the appropriate measure could be almost flipping their lifestyle upside down. While the movie and play of A Christmas Carol are very similar, there are several differences.

Thanksgiving means to me that when the family gets together to eat and have conversations.We usually watch the Dallas Cowboys play.Most of time there is an abundant amount of food.We either go to more than one house or we switch houses every year.

Thanksgiving is an overabundance of all senses. Whether it’s the smell and taste of the food, or the emotions after not seeing a certain family member for so long. During Thanksgiving there is an immense amount of sensory

After scrooge sees his dead body with nobody caring about it. He is then Humbled and changes his life as he then does good deeds and is a happy and kind man.
