...during our pathway, on the road to success, there will be bumps and setback standing in our way. Only through perseverance can we conquer those obstacles that stand in our way. Perseverance is defined by Merriam-Webster dictionary to be: “continued effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition.” No matter ones culture or what factors life has thrown your way, perseverance is always the instinctual force that tells the subconscious to never quit. Perseverance through strength and determination can be seen in our countries early foundation. It was perseverance that led to westward expansion for inexpensive land, and leads in an age of manifest density and shaped our country. My favorite quote of perseverance is from Disney's Finding Nemo. Through perseverance the protagonist tries to get his son home and only succeeds because he continually reaffirms himself to “just keep swimming, just keep swimming”. With no way to avoid a challenge, you must continue and learn from the experience to become successful. Perseverance is fighting to be on top and achieve that goal to be number one. Perseverance is coming back from a torn ACL and MCL from playing football and becoming 2012 defenseman of the year award in lacrosse. This was won by me after a huge setback in the fall of my senior year in high school playing football. This injury happened when I was...

...On Monday, The first poster for Pixar's forthcoming American 3D computer-animated film - Finding Dory was released, and Finding Dory's poster is showcasing a sweet throwback to 2003's American computer-animated comedy-drama adventure film - Finding Nemo. The tag on Finding Dory's poster remarks "she just kept swimming," which provides fans with a direct one's gaze toward Dory's fin as she propel her body in the ocean. The American comedian, television host and actress who hosted her syndicated TV talk show since 2003 - The Ellen DeGeneres Show - Ellen DeGeneres, is behind the voice of the adorable, absent-minded blue tang fish named Dory.

...Finding Nemo A hero is not defined by their past, but instead, what and who they find within themselves in a dire moment of need. There is a hero in everyone. Most people just need the right time and the courage to bring out their inner hero. The writer and philosopher Joseph Campbell wrote about the stages each hero goes through in their journey in a book called, The Hero with a Thousand Faces. In Finding Nemo, there is tragedy before there is hope. There is also comedy, adventure and suspense to keep the viewer on their feet. Marlin, a clown fish father and the hero, embarks on a journey to find his son, Nemo. Marlin’s wife dies protecting Nemo and his siblings when they are still eggs and are being attacked by an eel who is trying to eat them. After the attack, Nemo is the only egg left. Nemo survives, but is injured, which leaves him with a gimp fin. This leaves the excited and adventurous Marlin a very scared and timid clownfish. When Nemo is captured by a scuba diver, Marlin must swim from the Great Barrier Reef to Sydney, Australia to save him. Marlin will find the hero within himself and act fast to save Nemo while also allowing him to learn and grow without sheltering him too much. The hero’s ordinary world consists of Marlin and his son Nemo, confined to the safety and protection of the ocean by their sea anemone. Although this may seem uncommon, in real life, this is a very common relationship between clownfish and anemone. Without the anemone, clownfish usually become...

...genres don’t have rigid structures that the movies within them must comply with. Children’s-Adventure movies, for example, are usually animated films that have a plot based on some type of journey or adventure that is taken on by the main characters (Dirks, 1). There is almost always some great obstacle or challenge that the main character(s) must overcome, and usually good trumps evil. These films generally contain light humor, and teach some sort of life-lesson, or have a recurrent morale to the story. Methodology I analyzed three movie posters from the Children’s-Adventure genre to explore the similarities and differences movie posters from the same genre may have. The three movie posters I chose to analyze were from the movies Finding Nemo, Up, and Ice Age. My first step in analyzing these posters was to familiarize myself with the genre, so I used the internet to search multiple definitions of Children’s-Adventure films. After I felt that I had a pretty good grasp on what encompasses the genre, I used Google image search to find images of...

...I. Introduction: In our everyday lives we confronted with many obstacles and choices. We look for escapes and stress relievers. The media provides a false comfort away from those stresses. “Thus the predominant genres and modes of representation (news, chat show, soap opera) meet the needs and the desires for order of, and in, the everyday, and even in those areas of media production and consumption where it may be suggested that there is scope for both resistance and ambiguity (and there is evidence, for example, in popular music culture and in some online networks and bulletin boards that this is the case).” (Silverstone, R., 2002). It’s the media, producers and the fortune 500 companies that produce consumer goods and those companies that feed our imaginations with fallacies through “entertainment” television. i. Thesis: It is my belief that we should hold the media accountable for its not only on a deontological level but, a judicial level as well. II. Ethnics: while not mandatory is in good character. i. Promote your business in a positive light. ii. Provide positive influences for children. III. Where the stereotypes are: “There are many formal fallacies, mistakes in reasoning that occur due to the structure of the argument (the fallacy of affirming the consequent is, therefore, a formal fallacy). There are also hundreds of informal fallacies.” (Mosser, 2010) i. Stereotypes and the media influence consumers with fallacies such as Slippery Slope, False Authority...

...Going Lobstering It was midsummer in Florida. My aunt Susan asked me if I wanted to go to Key West and go lobstering with her and my cousins for the weekend. Susan then added all expenses paid. Several things ran through my mind all at once. I have never been to Key West. I have never been lobstering. What else do I have to do in the middle of the summer? I just could not pass this up, so off I went. We arrive in Key West that Thursday evening via my aunt’s huge white, red and yellow, cigarette boat. Most people think it reminds them of McDonalds, but not me. The boat was sleek and fast. On the open water the boat goes 75 knots which is about 50 MPH, fast for a boat. We stayed on Flamingo Key, which is actually two keys up from Key West. We docked the boat in the marina near our hotel. Our hotel sat right on the beach. That night we went to Sloppy Joe’s on Duval Street. I had their famous Sloppy Joe Sandwich. It was awesome! Duval Street is one of the craziest places I have ever been. There are “flaming” gay people, beach bums, tourist and chickens, yes live chickens everywhere. On the first day lobstering, the water was so clear you could see the images of the reefs and fish below. The sky was a brilliant blue and not a single cloud in the sky. Learning how to catch lobster was interesting. You basically get drug around by a boat via tow rope while snorkeling. It sounds easy but it’s not. You have to remember not to let go of the rope unless you are...

...If asked, most children probably won't be able to define sustainability, but they might recall seeing the movies A Bug’s Life, Finding Nemo, and Wall-E. In A Bug’s Life, the protagonist must save his colony from greedy human-like grasshoppers stealing their resources. Finding Nemo, shows the effects of the human footprint on tide pools through a father clownfish losing his son. Directed by Andrew Stanton, Wall-E (2008) also uses an anthropomorphistic story to highlight aspects of sustainability. The first sentence of the trailer for Wall-E, sets the story seven hundred years into the future when mankind has abandoned planet Earth and left it’s clean up in the hands of a machine. As the story is being introduced, the audience is shown an aerial view of Earth from outer space. It zooms into the dusty, brown planet, and we are introduced to Wall-E. Standing for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class, Wall-E is the last robot alive from millions of machines whose purpose was to clean up the Earth after humans fled the mess they made. However, after introducing the main character, Wall-E, the trailer then dives into his relationship with his love interest Eve. This undermines the importance of the film’s ecological message by portraying it as a love story. Through its dramatization of excessive corporate control, iconography of relevant waste culprits, and somber cinematography, Wall-E actually serves as a social critique of consumer mentality and illuminates corporate effects...

...inevitably he would speak to both a sea turtle and a shark on his adventure. Marlin was a normal clown fish that lived in the ordinary world but that changed after an adventure arose. Heroes do not often realize that they have particular traits within themselves that become present in the presence of an adventure or heroic deeds. In Andrew Stanton’s Finding Nemo, Marlin finds himself within an adventure to find his son Nemo and on this adventure, three particular stages of a Hero’s Journey are present: call to adventure, meeting a wise mentor, and tests, allies, and enemies....

...Disney’s spin-off sequel, Finding Dory, swam – and swam with a purpose over the weekend, smashing box office records. With a towering 3-day total of $136.1 million, Finding Dory, starring the voice work of Ellen Degeneres, became the biggest opening of all-time for an animated feature (on the domestic front, that is) – surpassing the $121.6 million total established by Shrek the Third in 2007. By comparison, Finding Dory also blew away the numbers put up by its 2003 predecessor, Finding Nemo, which opened with $70.2 million – on its way to grossing $936.7 million, worldwide. With a $50 million contribution for foreign markets, Finding Dory is officially off and swimming with $136.1 million. It was produced on an estimated $200 million...

...Winsor McCay’s Little Nemo in Slumberland depicts a child named Little Nemo journeying through a fantastical dream before ultimately being woken up to reality in the end. As Little Nemo’s ventures through Slumberland, his dreams often take place in realistic settings such as cities, ships, buildings, or forests. Vivid colours, ornate architecture, and imaginative inhabitants are also included to compliment the setting. McCay produced a dream world brilliantly decorated in the art nouveau style that echoes the art nouveau movement of that time. The focus on natural forms, structures, and curves characteristic of the high art movement paralleled McCay’s own world, helping him create narrative art within Little Nemo. McCay’s impressive manipulation of backgrounds and panels in conjunction with his art nouveau...

...Steve Jobs was born in San Francisco, California, on February 24, 1955, to two University of Wisconsin graduate students who gave him up for adoption. Smart but directionless, Jobs experimented with different pursuits before starting Apple Computers with Steve Wozniak in 1976. Apple's revolutionary products, which include the iPod, iPhone and iPad, are now seen as dictating the evolution of modern technology.

...accomplishes a goal and it is but one must be able to achieve more in life when one is doing what they love and is passionate about. During the process of being victorious some people do and will go through tribulations. When one goes through those tribulations they can’t just give up. One must keep on going or like how Dory says from, “Finding Nemo” the movie, “Just keep swimming.” this quote is stating one should keep on going and do what makes one happy in becoming successful. A good example of achieving a goal is the story of Kewauna’s. This story talks about a young girl in which fails in the beginning of her life and after a while it hits her and she wants...

...Steve jobs (1955-2011) The man who thought differently Introduction From the start his path was never predictable .Steve Jobs was given for adoption after birth, he dropped out of college after one semester, and at the age of twenty-one , he created Apple in his parent’s garage with his friend Steve Wozniak. Quickly rising to the top of the industry, Jobs pushed all boundaries and cultivated what became the intrinsic hallmark of his genius-his perfectionism, taste and design style. But soon after success, Jobs was fired from the top spot of his own company . Finding himself a beginner again , Jobs entered into one of the most creative periods of his life. Through Pixar, the iPod and the iPhone , Jobs revolutionized the major industries of movies, music and phones. The father of four would be repeatedly compared with the inventor Thomas Edison and auto magnate Henry Ford. People described him with the strongest words: Visionary. Showman. Artist. Tyrant. Genius. Jerk. Your time is limited so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. STEVEN PAUL “STEVE” JOBS was adopted at birth by Paul Reinhold Jobs and Clara Jobs. Jobs was taught how to work on electronics in the family garage , how to take apart and rebuild electronics such as radio and television. As a result he became interested in and developed a hobby of technical tinkering. In the late 1973 Jobs took a job as technician in Atari Inc.( a video game and home computer company).Steve Wozniak...

...Theme: The Walt Disney Co. is an enigma in these rough economic times for the sole purpose that they show minimal signs of slowing down. Mickey Mouse has his hands dipped into everything and from an investor’s standpoint that’s a good thing because that equals diversification, and in turn, diversification lowers risk. The Disney Company operates in several areas of the media and entertainment industry. They have recently acquired Pixar, which consistently provides box office record sales with their animated films. Along media entertainment lines, Disney also operates dominant media channels ABC and ESPN. These are two channels that carry with them a strong loyal following. Sports have always been America’s past time and it’s unlikely to see them ever declining or the viewership that goes along with it. People have always poured capital into sports and will continue to for many centuries to come. Aside from Disney’s ventures, investors focus and confidence should be in the trademark of Disney. Characters such as Mickey Mouse and Buzz Light-year are icons that will never be lost in the pages of time. Kids and adults alike will always want to participate in the next big thing the company has to offer and these kinds of expectations will always lead to Disney having a stable stock price and even unstable in the positive manner because the growth potential is limitless for this company. You can see that limitless with the many franchises Disney has under its wing. For...
