Background of the Study Fairy tale is a story that many parents tell to their children before they go to bed. Fairy tales are generally confused with one another and taken as make- believe stories with no direct reference to a particular community or historical tradition.1 According to Merriam Webster Dictionary, fairy tale is a story (as for children) involving fantastic forces and beings (as fairies, wizards, and goblins).2 The end of the fairy tales is usually happy ending and it also has meaning or moral value that can be a lesson for children. Fairy tale is just like folklore which sometimes delivers people to people and also has many versions or adaptations. As for example is Brothers Grimm3 who collects all the famous fairy tales around Europe. The oldest fairy tales were told and retold for generations before they were written down. French fairy tales were the first to be collected and written down, 1 Jack Zipes, Breaking The Magic Spell: Radical Theories of Folk & Fairy Tales Revised and Expanded edition, (Kentucky: The University Press of Kentucky 2002), p. 6 2Merriam Webster Dictionary, retrieved from http://www.merriam- webster.com/dictionary/fairy%20tale accessed on April 27th, 2015. 3Brothers Grimm contains two siblings, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. They both are probably the best known story tellers in the world. Many years have passed since the time Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm released their "Children's and household tales". The first Volume of Grimm's fairy tales was released in 1812, and the second - in 1814. They kept updating their collection with newly gathered and recorded fairy tales. In their lifetime, the fairy tale collection was translated into almost all European languages, while the German version already had six editions. (Written by Viktor Andonov at http://www.worldoftales.com/fairy_tales/Grimm_fairy_tales.html accessed on December 29th, 2013) 1 2 but now we can read fairy tales from almost any culture.4 Long time ago the media that used to tell fairy tale is a book, but over the times fairy tale is also delivered by movies. Movie is a series of moving pictures, usually shown in a cinema or on television and often telling a story.5 The writer choose movie to be analyzed in this research is because movie is also part of literature. As Arnheim stated that movie resembles painting, music, literature, and the dance in this respect—it is a medium that may, but need not, be used to produce artistic results.6 Movie is generally watched to be enjoyed. However, as a researcher of literature, movie can also be used as objects of research, as the writer does now. In Sumarno’s book untitled Dasar-Dasar Apresiasi Film, he divided movie into three kinds: film cerita (fiction movie), film noncerita (non-fiction movie), and film eksperimental dan film animasi (experimental movie and animation movie).7 In this research, the writer will use the third kind of movie that is animation movie. Animation movie is commonly depicted about anything that has soul and characters, such as prince and princess story, animal, plants, etc. In this case, the writer uses movie which tells about the living of princess. Since previous years, many fairy tales made into movie as the Walt Disney did. Walt Disney has made a lot of movies taken from the adaptation of fairy tales such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), Cinderella (1950), Beauty and 4Discovering Fairy Tales, retrieved from http://teacher.scholastic.com/writewit/mff/fairytales_discovering.htm accessed on April 27th, 2015. 5Elizabeth Walter, Cambridge Advance Learner Dictionary 3rd Edition (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2008) 6 Rudolf Arnheim, Film as Art (London: University of California Press, Ltd., 1957), p. 8 7 Marselli Sumarno, Dasar-Dasar Apresiasi Film (Jakarta:PT.

    ‘OUR SOCIETY LACKS CONSISTENTLY DEFINED ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE BLACK BEAR’: THE HISTORY OF BLACK BEAR HUNTING AND MANAGEMENT IN ONTARIO, 1912-1987 by MICHAEL COMMITO, B.A. (HONS), M.A. McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2015) Hamilton, Ontario (History) TITLE: ‘Our society lacks consistently defined attitudes towards the black bear’: The History of Black Bear Hunting and Management in Ontario, 1912-1987 AUTHOR: Michael Commito, B.A. (Hons) (Laurentian University), M.A. (Laurentian University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Ken Cruikshank NUMBER OF PAGES: vii, 282 ii ABSTRACT What kind of animal was a black bear? Were black bears primarily pests, pets, furbearers or game animals? Farmers, conservationists, tourists, trappers, and hunters in early twentieth- century Ontario could not agree. Even as the century progressed, ideas about bears remained twisted and there was often very little consensus about what the animal represented. These varying perceptions complicated the efforts of the provincial Department of Game and Fisheries and its successor agencies, the Department of Lands and Forests and the Ministry of Natural Resources, to develop coherent bear management policies. Perceptions about black bears often conflicted and competed with one another and at no one time did they have a single meaning in Ontario. The image of Ontario’s black bears has been continuously negotiated as human values, attitudes, and policies have changed over time. As a result, because of various and often competing perspectives, the province’s bear management program, for most of the twentieth century, was very loose and haphazard because the animal had never been uniformly defined or valued. Examining the history of these ambiguous viewpoints towards the black bear in Ontario provides us with a snapshot of how culture intersects with our natural resources and may pose challenges for management.

For the past 80 years, America’s younger generations have taken social cues from their favorite animated movies, learning to act like their favorite princes and princesses. Over the past few decades, Disney has broken through the concept of the damsel in distress and transitioned to represent and even advance modern feminist ideals. From likable protagonists to prominent images and popular products, the movies reinforce the gender roles they present because children learn to imitate the characters during playtime. 22 JAMES MADISON UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH JOURNAL he idea of being a princess is not a novel fantasy; it In Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Snow White is portrayed has been around for centuries.

FRANK BAUM This Book is Dedicated To My Granddaughter OZMA BAUM To My Readers Some of my youthful readers are developing wonderful imaginations. This pleases me. Imagination has brought mankind through the Dark Ages to its present state of civilization. Imagination led Columbus to discover America. Imagination led Franklin to discover electricity. Imagination has given us the steam engine, the telephone, the talking- machine and the automobile, for these things had to be dreamed of before they became realities. So I believe that dreams—day dreams, you know, with your eyes wide open and your brain-machinery whizzing—are likely to lead to the betterment of the world. The imaginative child will become the imaginative man or woman most apt to create, to invent, and therefore to foster civilization. A prominent educator tells me that fairy tales are of untold value in developing imagination in the young. I believe it.
