Tangled

Author's Note: I wrote this post after watching a movie with my language arts class. After watching half of it I wrote this piece to show the symbolism it had.

Some of that main symbolism was very apparent but then some of the symbolism you have to look at more carefully. It was very clear to me by watching the first part of the movie that the mode was not a tragedy nor a irony. Knowing that it was neither of those two modes I  then knew that it had to be either romance or comedy. So next I took a closer look at both modes but it didn't take much time to figure out that it was a romance.

It was so simple to tell which mode it was because of all the symbolism the story actually had. The pastels were a big part in this movie. Everything for the most part was bright and in pastels. The sky was a light blue color too and she wanted to see the lights in the sky, the stars. That was huge symbolism for me and it stood out. Another thing was the very apparent was flowers. The main character Rapunzel gets her hair braided and the little girls that did her hair added some flowers in it. The flowers are bright pastels color to symbolize romance further.

However there were parts that I could find easily there were parts of the symbolism I forgot. Sunlight was one of them because she wanted to go outside in the sun and go to see the stars at night. Another was the tower she was in. It was one room upstairs and one room downstairs which are both kind of like studies. She also has stain glass in the tower which is symbolism. Evergreens crowded land around the tower. She ran through it with Flin Rider. And even though I found all of these I didn't understand the symbolism of the horse. Because a horse was part of symbolism of a tragedy I wasn't sure about his symbolism.
