  • Steph Scott ©2014 Adapting Snow White Today
    Steph Scott ©2014 Adapting Snow White Today: Narrative and Gender Analysis in the Television Show Once Upon a Time Abstract: This paper examines the narrative in the first season of the ABC television show Once Upon a Time (2011-Present) and the fairytale Snow White (1857) with a particular focus on female gender representation. The reappearance of fairytales in popular media provides a unique opportunity to examine how values between two very different time periods have changed. Utilizing a narrative approach allows the research to show the merits and limitations across adapting from an old text to a television serial. Once Upon a Time offers a progressive rendition of the character Snow White by challenging both the traditional narrative and the television serial narrative. Snow White’s relationships with other characters are also expanded upon in the televised tale and surround her heroic acts, rather than her beauty, which changes the values presented in the television series. Methodology: In Once Upon a Time, throughout its narrative progression the traditional narrative is challenged. The first season’s episodes “Snow Falls,” “Heart is a Lonely Hunter,” “7:15AM,” “Heart of Darkness,” “The Stable Boy,” “An Apple Red as Blood,” and “A Land Without Magic” are given particular attention in this analysis because they pertain to Snow White’s fairytale. Robert Stam (2005) describes adaptation narrative analysis as considering “the ways in which adaptations add, eliminate, or condense characters” (p.34). With textual analysis of the first season of Once Upon a Time, these factors can be analyzed through Snow White’s relationships with other characters.

  • COLD MOUNTAIN" By
    "COLD MOUNTAIN" by Anthony Minghella Based On The Novel "Cold Mountain" by Charles Frazier EXT. COLD MOUNTAIN TOWN, NORTH CAROLINA. DAY ON A BLACK SCREEN: Credits. A RAUCOUS VOICE (SWIMMER�S) CHANTING IN THE CHEROKEE LANGUAGE. A RANGE OF MOUNTAINS SLOWLY EMERGES: shrouded in a blue mist like a Chinese water color. Below them, close to a small town, YOUNG MEN, armed with vicious sticks and stripped to the waist, come charging in a muscular, steaming pack. Their opponents, also swinging sticks, attach the pack. A ball, barely round, made of leather, emerges, smacked forwards by INMAN, who hurtles after it and collides with a stick swung by SWIMMER, a young and lithe American Indian. Inman falls, clutching his nose. The ball bobbles on the ground in front of him. He grabs it and gets to his feet, the blood pouring from his nose. His team form a phalanx around him and he continues to charge. A PRISTINE CABRIOLET pulled by an impressive horse, comes down towards the town. It has to pass across the temporary field of play, parting the teams. Some of the contestants grab their shirts to restore propriety as the Cabriolet and its two exotic passengers passes by. The driver is a man in his early fifties, dressed in the severe garb of a minister, MONROE. And next to him, a self- conscious girl in the spotless elaborate, architectural skirts of the period, is his daughter, ADA. Inman, using his shirt to staunch his battered nose, looks at Ada, astonished by her. An angel in this wild place.

November is the harbinger of the winter chills and children have dwelt deep within to express themselves in their poems, articles and art. Do appreciate them. WINTER THE ADVENT OF WINTER When the snowy owls arrive, When the snow covers the ground And the woodpeckers unite And not a single blade of grass can be found It's the time everyone's waiting for-“The Winter” It is safe to say That winter has made its way And when the snow falls, The children rush out their houses When the trees are laid bare With their furry jackets to Without a single leaf to spare Play in this wonderful season It is safe to say Some build snowmen, That winter has made its way Some sledge down the snow, some fight with snowballs, When the ants store their grain gold while some just admire the snow And the grasshopper is freezing with cold And when the snow geese fly away to the arctic, It is safe to say It's time to bid farewell to this wonderful season. That winter has made its way - Arjun 7e When the cold wind is blowing And the water is frozen, not flowing It is safe to say That winter has made its way When all's frozen and silent Only the wind is cold and violent It is safe to say That winter has its way And, when the first leaf sprouts And the first squirrel goes out It is safe to say There's going to be a new day -Shrey Gupta (8B) WINTER Winter is turning, With a blanket of snow.
