Response Essay of movie 'Brave'

The movie 'brave' is about Merida changing her destiny. She was tired of her mother telling things what to do. Her mother kept ordering. So she tries to change her parents' minds about her getting married. There is danger for her path. Finally, her mother changes and respects Merida's opinion. After that, Merida's family lived happily ever after.

  After I watched this movie, I thought of two things: Merida's difference from other Disney Princesses and a comparison of Merida's parents and my parents. It was hard to choose which I should write. But in conclusion, I'm going to compare and contrast my parents to Merida's parents.

  Merida's parents usually ordered Merida to do things. There were many do's and don'ts for Merida. Merida's mom Elinor always told Merida what to do. Merida hated her mother regulating her. I felt the same feeling as Merida. My parents order me to do something, also. There are too much thing for me to do. And it makes me very stressed, and tired. So I understood what Merida did, which was changing her mother.

  Merida is a princess. So she was expected to do many things. She had to walk straight, be loyal, be confident, and so on. Different from her, I am not a princess,so I don't have many expectations like Merida. However, as I a the first son in my house, I have some expectations from my parents.

Merida worked hard to change her destiny. She finally succeeded to live her own life. But I couldn't do this. I am not brave enough and don't have courage to change my parents' minds. I am kind of satisfied with how I live. So Merida's parents have changed, but my parents didn't.

There were many similarities between my parents and Merida's parents. They both give orders and have expectations. The only difference is Merida's parents changed their mind but mine did not.

There is also a difference between me and Merida. Merida had courage. Merida was brave enough to change her destiny. I will try to be like her in the future. After this camp, I'll talk to my parents right away.
