Beatrix Potter and The Sale Of Peter Rabbit
Written by stevehuna on May 31, 2010 – 4:09 am -Children have been reading and enjoying Beatrix Potter Books since 1902. You might recognize some of the more popular stories such as Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny. Most of her other stories utilize a similar template based on animal characters interacting as human beings which have drawn comparisons to Aesop’s fables. Potter, however, had a very specific and somewhat distinct vision for her own books.
Beatrix Potter had virtually full creative control and carte blanch in the branding and content of her stories. All of the illustrations for her books were drawn by her and were considered quite accurate as well. In a few cases, the pictures were so detailed that they became the focus more so than even the stories for which they were drawn.
The specifics and workings of her personal life would often provide inspiration for the plots and settings of her books. In the Tale of Ginger and Pickles for example the two main characters were dealing with business issues such as how to turn a profit and how to handle customers. This happened to be precisely what Potter was managing at the time as she was focusing more on how to market her books and who to market them to. She also used gardens as models for her pictures and pets and other animals she was surrounded with as character models.
Potter also frequently used recurring characters in many of her stories. The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies featured her most popular character Peter Rabbit, but not as a primary character. Peter Rabbit really only had a cameo. Benjamin Bunny, who was the cousin of Peter Rabbit, also played the title character in The Tale of Benjamin Bunny. This was an effective form of cross promotion, however Potter did do this in every story, as evidenced in The Tale of Pigling Bland.
Beatrix Potter’s strategy was effective enough to achieve her financial freedom and garner the interest of some famous writers and other popular historical personalities. One popular Winnie the Pooh story premise where Pooh gets stuck in a hole after eating too much was actually first used in a Beatrix Potter story. Even the well known animator and theme park creator Walt Disney, who had already purchased the rights to the Wind in the Willows and Winnie the Pooh, took notice of Potter’s work with an offer. Potter ultimately refused deciding to retain ownership and control of her work.
There are common themes in many Beatrix Potter books. For example; The Tale of Peter Rabbit, The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies, and The Tale of Pigling Bland among most of her other books follow an identical title formula. The characters were always animals acting completely human. Additionally, many of the books have recurring characters. Though she would eventually grow tired of writing children’s tales, she purposefully and decidedly developed and sustained this formula almost without fail throughout her career.
Gucci Watch Designs A Watch Or Accessory For Anyone
Written by stevehuna on May 30, 2010 – 4:42 am -I know a person who is an ardent fan of Gucci watches – my aunt. My aunt is a person who admires fashion and things of aesthetic appeal. Those who know her love her endlessly for that. But Auntie had a special liking towards designer watches. Her collection is worth mentioning due to its impressive nature. It had the power to make anyone feel jealous.
Auntie started collecting designer watches when she was twelve and has not stopped to date. She got her first Gucci one, gifted to her by her husband, her boyfriend at that time at the age of seventeen. Her husband is the son of a rich diplomat and often bought her expensive gifts, the watch being one of them. She got addicted to the G word after that and would settle for nothing else when it came to purchasing one.
The watch given to her by her husband was made of pure silver and also water proof. She was very proud of it. It made her happy and she felt a sense of satisfaction wearing it. The watch had a great impact on her and she was moved by its beauty. No one was allowed to touch it, as Auntie was very possessive about it. As days went by, the watch seemed to hypnotize her and she knew they were special.
The deal was an expensive one and you need quite a lot of money to buy a designer watch. My aunt hence started saving her money so that she could buy her favorite model. Her husband obviously had no problem in paying the cash, and would give her a certain amount. Her birthday was the day to buy one or on important events. Everyone knew now, both family and friends, about her hobby.
When she turned thirty, she bought another model, which increased the number of her collection to fifteen and she had no intention to stop there. Her collection was quite versatile and a pleasure to look at. Auntie also had a custom made one which was pure gold, scratch proof, water resistant and had her initials inscribed on it
On turning fifty, the collection had well over sixty watches. And every watch had an exclusive appeal; dissimilarity was a strong feature. My aunt had become very faithful to her brand and trusted it with all her heart. It seemed like she had a job in the company. Her watches attracted a lot of attention and soon the newspapers and magazines wanted to meet her for interviews and other queries.
A local magazine published an article about my aunt and her worthy possessions. She was overjoyed by this gesture. She was thankful to her husband for his cooperation and support in all ways.
The collection reached a grand total of ninety two when my aunt was seventy three. These watches were priceless and most of them were Gucci women’s watch. She stores the watches for men in a special closet that is kept locked around the clock and she is the sole person having possession of the keys. Auntie still gets visitors who want to go through the rare treasure trove and relish the experience. What a wonderful legacy to pass down through the family as a treasured heirloom!

Viewing Television Compared With Reading Books
Written by stevehuna on May 27, 2010 – 4:24 am -The place of literature in society is now becoming less and less apparent. In years past, it was feared that radio could spell the end of books, then it was considered that television would ensure kids no longer read anything, and finally the internet has come along and books have had a further decrease in popularity. While books are still getting read, their popularity continues to dwindle, and new reading devices like the iPod and Kindle threaten to further damage the numbers of people who like to read books, keeping them in shelving in their homes. While many think that the switching of books with electronic products will mean more readers, ultimately it will damage the attention spans of an already media-saturated society, and lessen the number of people who are reading substantial, interesting works of fiction and non-fiction. In this day and age, the number of people with wire shelving filled with books is at a staggering low.
The number of Americans who read books is very low, and the number who choose to read challenging books is even less than that. In today’s age, we’ve been encouraged to believe that everything that seems good is good, and if something is challenging or difficult, this should be rejected. The effect of this in the immediate term is that we’re having much more fun, but in the mid to long-term, we become dependent on these thrills and see them as all there is to life, instead of the deeper challenges that are out there on offer.
This can mainly be put on television, which has taken people away from the mental effort required from books, in imaging the characters and the activities they do. Even radio required a part of the imagination to consider how the people look and act, and how the sound effects might look. Today in most television shows, the goal is to leave as little as is possible to the imagination of the viewer. Not only in terms of the visual aspects, but in the area of character storylines. For a film or show to be made, characters must be easily defined as good or bad, and only make alterations to their character that can be easily understood by the viewer.
The problem with this is that it makes a false representation of life. When we see every day that there are characters on shows easily definable as good and bad, we begin to think this is the way life is, and forget that everyone at their heart has good intentions. If we’re fooled by the TV shows, it’s easy for us to be fooled by politicians telling us the world is packed with terrorists waiting to kill us, and that we should support the great troops in their quest to battle these evil forces.
In order to see the world in a more subtle way, it’s probably worth looking beyond the superficial realities of TV and exploring the deeper worlds of books. While some books are just as superficial as the worst television shows, it is well worth looking into quality writing that can go far deeper than any TV show would imagine.
