Peter And The Wolf Video Analysis

1376 Words6 Pages

Peter and the Wolf is a video about a kid going out to defeat the wolf, but there are many ways these video could be perceived in a deeper form. A lot had happen during 1946 and 2006, so each video have their differences in representation. These two videos also have a similar root of understanding. In the 1946 version, I believe it was a representation of segregation because America is in the midst of adjusting to African-Americans having rights. In the 2006 version, the wars could have been a huge factor in it. This what I believe each video represents.

As stated earlier, 1946 was the rise of Morgan v Virginia. This cause me to believe that the move had some representation to segregation all together.

People like W.E.B DuBois, Martin Luther King Jr, and Irene Morgan wanted feel like they could be accepted into the American way and end segregation. The wolf represented the destruction that happen during the segregation period. Even though segregation was the normal lifestyle, this lifestyle endangered a lot of black, emotionally and physically, and the wolf was causing harm upon the bird and duck. Peter’s grandfather represented the white Americans at this time. “Separate but equal” is the prime example of this because whites did not want anything to do with black and were holding them back. The grandfather was holding Peter back because he did not want him to go out and fight, which is what the whites did not want the black to be doing. This is the main symbolic moments I notice in the video with

Peter's intelligence and ability to think strategically are two of his best attributes.

This is a great trait for him especially since he interacted in a political environment where war was also a common

    There were three main conflicts in the segregation days, the 1960’s. I will be getting into those topics. The first one is the Brown vs. Board of education, which was putting all races in one school.

The last one was the Civil Rights Act that made it so all nationalities could use the same water fountain, restroom, theater, schools, and white and blacks could sit together on buses.

Also with the message coming from the dean, it makes Monsters University look successful since the dean is the highest person in the school and he’s making nothing but good comments about his school. I would even consider to go to Monsters University if it were a real school because it shows that the dean cooperates with his students to make them excellent. Despite it being a school of scare, it has a very good anecdote behind it that makes it sound like a real school.
