Nobody was better looking… Nobody was stronger…” The author repeats the word “nobody” over and over. This emphasizes the idea that everyone has the same skills and is equally gifted.

In the novel, “Dealing with Dragons,” written by Patricia Wrede, Cimorene, the main princess, or character, left her kingdom and volunteered to work for a dragon, Kazul. She was told by many people, including her family, that she did “improper” things, considering the Medieval Time period.

This is very different from the play as there were never any moments where the sisters actually got along and helped out each other. Another essential point in the film is when Kat decided to go into Bianca’s and told her that she cares for her and she is only trying to protect her when she helps her dad keep her from going places. This is one of the most contrastive points from the movie as the play did not have any moments where the a sister expressed her care and love for the other, displaying a much less distasteful relationship than the one in the

I believe its never too early or too late in life to do such. Bill passes away from an unknown condition, and Carol was not able to say goodbye to him. She reveals to her daughter there is not point of getting attached to anyone if death is certain to happen, which I found to be the most touching part of the movie. This is the 2nd death that Carol experienced in the movie; the first death including her elderly dog in the beginning of the movie. She kept the cigar he always carried around during the movie
