Manfred Zylla is a 75-year-old German/South African artist known for his politically engaged art that challenges audiences and critiques social issues. As an anti-apartheid artist in the 1980s, Zylla produced impactful drawings and paintings that were crucial to understanding resistance art. Though he briefly considered painting landscapes in 2011, a controversial bill passed in South Africa inspired his series "120 Days of Sodom", depicting sexual violence and war. Zylla's latest work continues critiquing issues like globalization and climate change through mixed media paintings, showing he has lost none of his passion for using art as a tool for social change.
This document is a student paper comparing the fairy tales Cinderella and Snow White. It discusses their similarities such as both having evil stepmothers and being beautiful young ladies treated like servants. Their differences are also examined, such as Cinderella being from France and having a lighter tone while Snow White is from Germany and has a crueler story involving attempts on her life. Their physical appearances and who protects them also differ, with Snow White described as fair with black hair and Cinderella as blonde. Both end up living happily ever after with husbands despite their poor treatment.
Both Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) and The Sleeping Beauty (1959) were produced by Walt Disney, based on fairy tales, and have similar storylines. Specifically, both films feature princesses who face adversity from an evil figure due to jealousy, but are ultimately rescued by a prince's kiss of true love. Additionally, the main characters - Snow White and Aurora - share personality traits like enjoying singing and animals. Finally, the films end happily with the princesses marrying their princes after being awakened from curses.
