Work of Art



"Beauty and Beast by TGB - Illustrations on DeviantART." Beauty and Beast by TGB - Illustrations on DeviantART. Web. 29 April. 2015. <http://www.deviantart.com/art/Beauty-and-the-Beast-239616073>. 

This work of art is about a girl having a drink with the Beast, and the Beast is dressed up like a human. In this art the Beast looks like a tiger, and between them there is picture on the wall of a male. I can see looking at the picture that he is a soldier. This work of art relates to the Beauty and Beast because in the art there is a beautiful girl sitting with a monster. They both are looking happy in the painting, and enjoying their time together. The beautiful lady does not look scared of the monster even though he looks like a tiger. 

Show or Movie


"Dawn of the Planet of the Apes." Fox-Paramount Home Entertainment, 2014. Film.

This movie connects to The Beauty and Beast in that the apes wants to destroy humans. They act like humans, and they also want to govern the planet earth. The apes doesn't even trust the humans because humans trap one of them. The apes thought that the humans were going to hurt or kill them. However, the humans were trying to take to do the science research on them. This movie relates to the Beauty and Beast in a way that the apes felt betrayed by humans. The Beast felt betrayed by Beauty's father because he tried to steal the roses from his garden.

Song or Poem


"See You Again - Wiz Khalifa." Wiz Khalifa. 6 April. 2015. Web. 29 April. 2015.

This song relates to the Beauty and Beast in many ways. It was sung by Wiz Khalifa. This song relates to the story because he is missing his loved one, who is not with him anymore. The Beast is feeling mournful same way as the Beauty left him. The artist is saying in his song that one day he will be together with his love one. He also says in the song that he will remember all the moments spent together. I think Beast felt the same way when Beauty left him alone.

Work of Prose


"Cupid and Psyche." Cupid and Psyche. Web. 27 Apr. 2015. <http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/cupid.html>.

The Cupid and Psyche and Beauty and Beast both are very similar stories to each other because in both stories the characters redeem themselves to the Beast. They both were forced to live with the Beast. In both stories the sisters were very jealous of them because they both were very beautiful. Even though their sisters were envious of them, but they both loved their sisters. Both Beauty and Psyche sacrificed themselves to the Beast to save their family. The Beast was very kind and respectful to them.

Original Fairytale
