Basic Analysis: 
Main Characters- Nemo, Marlin, Dory, Dentist
Minor Characters- Chuckles, Ted, Bob, Billy, Fisherman, Barbara

I learned many things about the characters in finding nemo. Nemo has a small weak fin as he grows up because there was a crack in his egg before he was born. Dory is the Friendliest. Throughout the movie Marlin goes through a lot he loses his wife and family. Squirt is a sea turtle who is very fearless. Bruce is the leader of the fish eaters. Crush is a very laid back sea turtle. Bloat the Blow Fish has a bad temper. Jacques is a shrimp who is always cleaning. Gurgle is a colossal phobic who fears everything. Nigel is often the trouble maker. Deb and Flo are like best friends and never leave each others sides. Bubbles is very playful.


From being by his fathers side all the time nemo learns to be brave just like his father is. In the movie dory often has memory loss and forgets a lot of things throughout the movie. She often thinks of something over and over again until she remembers it. Dory is very disoriented. Nemo has to have special accommodations due to having a weak fin. He often has to have therapy. Many of the characters in the movie help him gain his self Confidence.

In the movie Marlin learns to take risks and let nemo take care of himself. This reveals that he cares about nemo a lot and has faith in nemo. He believes he will be fine on his own. He was a little worried at first and was unsure of how it would go.

Dynamic vs. Static Character

A dynamic character in the movie would be marlin because at the beginning of the movie he was very protective of nemo  and didn't let him go anywhere or leave  his side but towards the end of the movie he seen nemo could take care of himself and started letting him go. A static character in the movie would be the sea turtles because they were always helpful throughout the movie they didn't change at all in the movie.

Protagonist vs. Antagonist

The protagonist in this movie would be Marlin and Nemo and the antagonist would be Darla, the little girl with the braces. Marlin is the one always saving nemo. Nemo gets caught by a fisherman and is put in the tank at the dentist and Darla is the little girl who goes to the dentist there and every time she visits she gets a fish and shakes them until they die but nemo finds a way to escape with Gils help.

Archetypal Characters

 Nemo gets taken away from his dad marlin. Marlin and Dory go on a quest to find nemo. Once nemo and marlin find each other they learn an important lesson.  Marlin learns that he needs to give nemo some space and nemo learns his dad is just looking out for him. Marlin plays as the hero in the story. 

Stereotypes

Marlin is swimming nemo to his first day of school when they come across a pair of fish and some other parents. They convince Marlin to make jokes. They assumed this because they are clown fish's and clown fish's are funny.



 

Basic Analysis:

The life along the Great Barrier Reef. Marlin a clownfish is determined to protect his only son nemo. On the first day when marlin swims nemo to school he swims away from marlin to investigate a boat. Nemo is then picked up from a diver as marlin is heading to rescue his son from the diver he bumps into dory asking her to help him. Meanwhile marlin and dory are going through the most dangerous things possible to find nemo. Nemo has landed in a fish tank  at a dentist office looking over the harbor. Nemo comes up with an escape plan.
 
Marlin's goal is to find his son nemo. He must leave the safety of the coral reef and encounter danger, forcing him to face his weakness, his lack of courage. ( Internal Conflict)

The conflict is the reuniting of father and son. Marlin is being the over protective father he is and nemo wont let his father stop him from rescuing the fish caught in the net to be brought to the surface.

Nemo and Marlin learn a lot after losing each other. Marlin learns to not be so protective of nemo and give him some space and Nemo learns that his father is just looking out for him.

Foreshadowing, Flashback, Suspense, Resolution, and Pattern

Foreshadowing would be when Nemo and the other  fish are trying to escape Darla, and the dentist reaches the little mini net and all the other fish jump in and tell nemo to 'swim down!!' that foreshadows nemo and dory getting stuck in the tuna net.

Dory does have a flashback in the movie and tells nemo where he can find his father at.

Suspense would be when Bruce is chasing marlin and dory and he gets stuck in the porthole or when they lock themselves in the room and he is banging on the door, (when they discover dory can read)


Resolution of conflict


Nemo is found and marlin, dory, and nemo became the best of friends and lived happily ever after. In the end everyone became friends and was very happy.

I dont think the plot of this movie follows a pattern.

Where: Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Queensland.

Examine Setting: I think if the setting changed it would change the story completely.

The setting is based in New York during 1899. Many people were poor and had to work long labor hours for little pay. Many kids ran away or found jobs. The Newsies is a group of kids who pay for newspapers to sell them and make money. The owner raised the prices and that caused the Newsies to go out of business. They started riots to get the prices dropped. Dave was getting beat up in an ally and Jack came and saved him. He then realized his friends were more important then money. They then sent out a huge amount of papers all over New York City and many people were affected by the paper especially kids. The price was then lowered.

Rear Window- In Rear Window Jeffrey is stuck at home due to a leg injury. He spy's on his neighbors through his window. Jeffrey suspects that one of his neighbors Lars Thorwald killed his own wife and his a serial  killer. Jeffrey has his girlfriend Lisa investigate when Thorwald is distracted. Well Thorwald catches Lisa in his apartment and attempts to attack her when Jeffrey calls the police. Thorwald realizes that Jeffrey is the one watching him and Thorwald attacks Jeffrey when police show up he is sent to jail. Jeffrey finds out after all he was right all along about Lars Thorwald.

Disturbia- Kale Brecht is sentenced to house arrest over the summer for punching his Spanish teacher in the face. He starts watching his neighbors. He learns many things about them but he believes he see's one of his neighbors in particular killing someone (Mr. Turner). Kale does everything possible to find out the truth. He has his friend Ronnie go investigate which turns into a dangerous situation. Kale gets caught trying to rescue Ronnie and his mother goes and apologizes to Mr. Turner for his actions. Turner turns out to be a Serial Killer according to the news. Turner attacks Kale but he escapes and rescues his mom. The police get called and Turner is killed. In the end Kale, his mom, and friends are fine and he gets off house arrest.

The plots in both movie are the same because they are both about someone who is confined to their home and begin to think one of their neighbors killed someone after watching them. They somehow have to find out the truth without leaving the house. I liked Disturbia's plot better because the film gives a greater explanation of Kale's past and why he is put in this situation. Disturbia contained more suspense . In the end of Disturbia Kale kill's Mr. Turner in protection of his mother.

Main Character- Andrew Beckett
Andrew is a senior associate at the largest corporate law firm in Philadelphia. He finds out he has AIDS.  He is assigned an important case . One of his partners at the firm notices a lesion on his forehead. Andrew stays home from work for several days to try to find a way to hide his lesions as it progresses. After he finishes the complaint for the case at home he is rushed to the hospital and gets very sick. Andrew gets fired from his job. Andrew believes he gets fired because of his diagnosis of AIDS. Andrew gets an attorney and fights in court trying to sue the company he worked for because their reasoning on firing him. He wins the lawsuit in the end and gets more then five million dollars. After the lawsuit is over with Andrew passes away in the hospital.
Man vs. Society

Dynamic- ln the film The Color Purple I believe that Celie is the dynamic character because in the beginning of the film she is quiet, abused, and a uneducated housewife. As time passes in the film she comes around more and grows and learns a lot.
Static-  I believe Sophia is the static character in this film. She is a strong independent women. She often has to have the last say in everything.

Protagonist/Antagonist- I think In the film that the protagonist is definitely Celie  and the antagonist is Alphonso. Alphonso's wife leaves him and ever since Celie became his play toy in everyway possible. Celie was greatly damaged as a person from him. She felt like she could not escape. But one day Alphonso's old sweetheart came to visit him and then on his attention was focused back on her pleasing her (Shug).  Shug leaves and then comes back with her husband and her and Celie create a bond. Shug helps Celie find the letters that her sister been writing her for years that Alphonso been hiding from her. Shug decides that it was best Celie leaves with her after Celie confronts Alphonso about everything she leaves.

Main/Minor Characters:
Bilbo- He is the most important figure in the movie. Bilbo often led a comfortable quiet life. Throughout the journey you see Bilbo's love for exploration. He doesn't fear much. He is very tough. During the journey Bilbo is the leader. he often saves many of his friends from danger. Throughout his journey he changes in many ways. He gains confidence, wealthier, and becomes very known.
Gandalf- Old Wizard, keeps his thoughts to himself
Thorin- dwarf who led the quest to reclaim the treasure
Smaug- Dragon who lives in the mountain where they are going to get the treasure from.
From the comments that each character make you can tell Bilbo is very honored and very liked. Not only did the characters on the journey learn a lot about Bilbo that they never knew but also Bilbo learned a lot about himself.
Each character looks out for one another during the journey.

Archetypal Characters: In the lion king one Archetypal character that stood out to me was simba. After simba was born he was recognized as the future king because his father Mustafa is the royal king. Simba's uncle Scar gets jealous because he wants to be the future king. Well Simba gets into some trouble and Mustafa goes to save him and ends up rescuing simba but he ends up hanging off a cliff and Scar (Mustafa's Brother) flings him off the cliff into the stampede where he just rescued simba from and he gets trampled to death by the wild beast. Scar puts in simba's head it was his fault that he killed his father and he tells simba to run far  away and not to come back so that Scar can become king. When scar becomes king everything at pride rock changes. It was once sunny and a happy place now its full of evil and dark. Simba's best friend Nala comes across him in the jungle and tells him he needs to take action and take care of his responsibilities. Nala helps simba fight scar and the hyenas for his title of king. In the story I think good defeated evil and evil defeated itself. When simba became willing to kill scar he became desperate and blamed his allies for everything bad that happened and called the hyenas his enemies. Simba lets scar leave with his life but scar refused and put up a fight. He ended up landing in fire and the hyenas killed him. Simba became the king and everyone became happy and it was no longer dark.

 In both films I believe that the characters are sort of the same in
both films. In Charlie and the Chocolate factory the Characters appearances
change but its not much of a major change compared to the older version. The
Characters all together are the same person and have the same personalities in
both films. 
    In Charlie and the
Chocolate factory the spy that was in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
wasn't in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. He went around to every kid that
found the golden ticket telling them to find the formula of the everlasting
gobstoppers and return it to him. In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory he didn't
play a role in that movie. I think maybe he wasn't in Charlie and the Chocolate
factory film is because he didn't play an important or main
role.
    The Characters are pretty much the
same in both movies but I like the old Willy Wonka compared to the new willy wonka. In the older version Willy Wonka is much more nicer and he looks older.
In Charlie and the Chocolate factory Willy Wonka is rude at times. He tends to
call the characters who have the golden ticket names and has an
attitude. The appearances in bother movies differ a lot. In the new
version everything and everyone looks much younger. In the older version its
back in the older times so its not in the best quality and there is more details
in the photograph in the newer version. In Charlie and the Chocolate factory
Willy Wonka looks much younger and compared to the older version the new Willy
Wonka is completely different from the older Willy Wonka they don't resemble
each other one bit.
    In the older version
the oompa loompa'a didn't sing as much as they did in the newer version. Also it
was included in the newer version how Willy Wonka met the oompa loompa's and how
he got them to work in the factory. In the older version that was not included.
I liked the New films characters better but I liked the old willy wonka better
than the new willy wonka because the newer will wonka tended to be rude at many
times. The characters acted the same but in the newer version their appearance
was a big change.
