Book version of witch

Do you know that the title “big fish” is a noun used to describe a person who tells jokes or a person who tells many stories, and some of these are not true? Tim Burton, the movie director, I think, was very wise to change some scenes of the book in the movie for the following reasons; first, he knew that this book had a lot of popularity and if he made the exactly as the book says, the movie was not going to be a hit; second, he wanted to attract more people by adding something new. In addition the director saw it was very necessary to combine situations from real life and fantasy.

Big Fish is a movie that has two ways. One way is when Edward tells his life story like a fairy tale. He combines fantasy with daily events. Burton has used fantasy as a means to show people the content of the movie. He gets the nature of rural people in some part of the US.

Every chapter that Edward tells has a meaning; for example when Edward meets the giant Karl, when Edward leaves the town of Ashton, as he feels it is too small for his ambitions, while Karl thinks the town is too small for him.

When Edward meets Amos, and when he works for him without pay, it is just to know where the girl of his dreams lives. And Amos uses many ways to tell Edward where the girl lives. The story seemed totally different from the book. If we see the way Edward was born, it is different from the way the son was born.

The other way in Big Fish is that the director explores the father-son relationship; In fact, he feels his father never tells him the truth. But finally when he comes to know how his dad helped the town, he comes to know about him.

The last part would just leave you sad. It is one of the most moving and touching scenes. When Will finally sees his father’s friends at the funeral; everyone has a memory of him.

Big Fish is one of Burton’s most knocked movies. In fact ,every scene tells of a truth in our life. What Burton has done is to use the fable concept to describe Edward’s actions and intentions.

Big Fish also has a great combination of both movie and the book; you can find this by reading the book or watching this movie, and you will have a refreshing look towards human relationships. That is my point of view of the movie and the meaning for the term “Big Fish.”

what is a dream

In the article "what is a dream?" the author mentions what people think about dreams in the past, and the scientists' attempts to interpret what the dreams are. First, our ancestors didn’t pay attention to what the dreams were, but they thought that they were important to the individual's feeling and bodily contentment. Not only that, but they thought that god had sent to them message by dreams. Second, in the twentieth century was the beginning of dream studies that made people believes that the dreams illustrated something in their personality. Third, Freud was the first person studied dreams by his wish-fulfillment theory and his book The Interpretation of Dreams. He assumed that the person expressed his wishes and frights in dreams because they were improper in actual life. Third, in balance theory" To Become Popular" by Carl Jung's. Jung viewed that the person contacted with his wishes by dreams. Next, William Domhoff assumed that there were relationships between the dreams and the person's age, sex, society, waking activities, and believes, compared the dreams between the adults with the children and the women with the men, and noted the similarity and the difference between people from 11 cultures. Finally, the author mentions that it is very hard to know the meaning of dreams and the agreement between who study.

In one night I had a really bad dream. I dreamed that I was insane for long time, and I could see invisible things; after that I started to feel better. I found all my family around me, my mother, father, and my sisters, but I didn’t see my husband and my son, so I was very worried about them. I started asking about them; where were they? For how long had i been sick? What happened to me? After that my phone rang and I woke up; I was so happy that it was just a dream. I think it was the worst dream I ever had.

What is a dream?

In the article "What is a dream?" the author states that some people have thought it is important to interpret dreams, while the other people don't believe dream the significance of dreams. Our ancients believed that dreams help us learn god's message. In 20 century, people analyze dreams. A scientific methods of dreams started Freud who made wish-fuillement theory at first. Then, Jung made a theory that people could control the dreams. Domhoff connected between dreams and cultures. Dreams affect the period during which a person grows from child to adult. Also, dreams differ between men's dreams and women's dreams. People try to seek perfect interpretation, but people should not fell they need their. It is just dreams.
