Monster & Life

With the next discussion question, “When the word, “beast”, comes to mind, what types of characteristics that you think that defines “beast”? Are ugly beasts the only monstrous living creatures in this world?” This is a good question I would like to talk about today. The first time we I heard the words “Beast” the first image appeared on my mind is that giant and hairy body, big ears, head, and a ugly appearance. Also, I had a terrible feeling that the beast has scaring voice as well. However, after I read “Beauty and Beast”, I realize that although Beast does not have a favorable outer appearance as well as his intelligence, he does have a favorable personality. He is kind, gentle, thoughtful and naïve. Comparing the characteristics of Beauty’s two “pretty” sisters to ugly Beast; I deem that the two sisters are much more gruesome than Beast. On page 38 and 40, it shows that Beauty’s two sisters are not only feeling happy to lose their sisters, they also set Beauty up to breaking her promise from Beast, then, Beauty will more likely to be eaten by Beast (Tatar). Sisters, in general, mean the ones we can depend on and trust. Sisters suppose to take care of each other and love one another, but what the two sisters’ behaviors. Despite they have a good looking, dress elegantly, their inner essence are as dark as devil. Indeed, It is also occurred in our society as well. There are a minority of people in our society usually portend to be nice to everyone; in fact, they have an evil inner essence. The reason caused them to be sin is because of jealousy or greed. For example, Jerry Skilling, was one of the top guy at Enron, the electron city company in California. He was been called “Death Star.” The reason he had been called “Death Star” was because his vice behavior although he graduated from the business school of Harvard University. In order to make a considerable profit, he encouraged his employee to be good traders, which means they should contained any value except making money. In other words, employee should make a good profit for the company as priority, it does not matter how evil they would be. Therefore, they raised the electronic price frequently. If people did not want to pay, they would shut down the power or moved power to others. This is a typical example of how evil our human could be due to their Greed. Also, there is some other instances regards to the devil people because of jealousy. Such as, people envy other’s beauty or wealth, so they are unfriendly to each other. The worst thing is some monstrous living creatures even act more than AN EVIL like the two sisters in the tale. So, I firmly believe that there are some monstrous living creatures in our society for sure. No matter what kind of reasons people act evilly, I think they should feel shame about themselves. We are all human being, why there are always some attacks and painful things happen, like the war in Iraq. Besides, life is short, why some people would waste their time being an devil, but not Angle.
