My Favorite Disney Character & Villain

My favorite hero is Mulan in the movie "Mulan". I like Mulan because she represents two of the most important lessons in this world, selflessness and bravery. She does this by leaving her home and taking her father's place in the army voluntarily. I also love Mulan because she is funny and has a great personality. She is always telling jokes and having a great time with her best friend Mushu who is very funny. Her humor does not come in the way of her instincts because she always does the right thing.

My favorite villain is Ursula in the movie "Little Mermaid". I like Ursula because she is a funny character. I say this because of her movements and appearance. I also love the way that she accomplishes things, which is through people who desire something that they can't have. What I like most about her is the different parts of her. In my opinion, she is part Shakespearean actress with the flamboyance, flair, and theatricality, part used-car salesmen, and a con-artist. These three components bring a very interesting combination that I love to watch.

Opinion

I agree you have to do something wrong to get ahead. The world that we live in is very competitive and there is a major gap between the losers and winners. In order to stay in the winner group you have to do something wrong every once in a while. Although doing something wrong can be beneficial, it can also be harmful. To prevent it from being harmful it should only be done in small doses. I have learned this mainly through experiences through my brother. For instance, when I broke a light bulb that my dad had just put in the lamp I blamed it on my brother. I did this because I wanted to stay on my parent's good side. Also, one time in a tennis match I called the shot out when I had not seen it because I wanted to maintain my lead in the game. We see this in Macbeth when Lady Macbeth helps Macbeth seize King Duncan's position through murder.

I disagree women are more compassionate and less violent than men. I say this because women can be compassionate and peaceful but they can also be cold hearted and violent. I know this because there are plenty of women who cheat on their husbands and kill them. Also, there are plenty of women who are sociopathic serial killers. We see this in Macbeth with the three witches when they charm up a spell on a woman's husband because the woman didn't give one of them chestnuts.
