Beauty and the Beast by Walt Disney Animations
In Beauty and the Beast, Belle shows compassion for the Beast by being nice to him, even though he is mean to everyone. She tries to find the good in him. When she finds his good side, she tries to tell everyone that he really is nice on the inside. They need to not focus on what he looks like on the outside, but look deep down and they will find he truly is a nice guy. Everyone just thinks he is mean because he captured her, but as she is kind to him, he shows her that he truly is warm-hearted. Nobody let him show that side before, because they always treated him like a ferocious beast.
I love that you used the word compassion to describe how Belle got the “beast” to open up to her. I feel as though this story also relates to the real world more than what is perceived.
People are judged on first glance. If you don’t look a specific way people find you intimidating and feel as though they can’t approach you because of this. Only the people who take that second glance get to see you for who you are. Though some people can appear as a “beast”, they may be beautiful on the inside.
I really liked this post, especially with the use of one of my beloved Disney stories. Great job! 🙂 My class also has our own blog. Here is the link to it: http://kidblog.org/78Lakers/ Go check it out! Mine is “The Power of Music”. Thank you!
