4. What famous films do the cartoons about Shrek

6. Why can Shrekʼs story be interesting to computer

A.
Somewhere in a far-away magical kingdom, there lived a beautiful princess, a prince and animals who could talk
like humans. This is a typical plot for many fairy tales. In 1990, a short story for children about Shrek, a big
green troll, appeared. Unlike previous heroes he looked ugly and scary but had a big, kind heart. In 2001,
DreamWorks studio made the first animated Shrek cartoon.
B.
All the characters of the cartoons about Shrek are easy to remember and have a good sense of humour. The
cartoons are full of episodes about friendship, good and evil, love and family values. The cartoons present an
amusing mixture of traditional fairy tales and real-life events familiar to everyone. All that made the story of the
troll very popular, especially with children.
C.
Maurice Tillet was a famous professional French boxer and wrestler of the 20
th
century. Unfortunately, at the
age of twenty he got a rare disease which changed his body and appearance. It made him look like a huge troll.
Few people know that Shrek’s appearance copies that of Maurice Tillet. However,in contrast to the cartoon
character, Maurice Tillet was highly intelligent he spoke fourteen languages and was good at writing prose.
D.
Several scenes in cartoons about Shrek are based on scenes from famous movies. For example, the ‘Welcome to
Duloc’ song sounds like the popular Disney tune ‘It’s a Small World’. During the fight between Fiona and
Robin Hood’s men, the camera moves as in ‘The Matrix’. There are hints of the ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and
‘Mission Impossible’.
E.
The famous story was also made into a Broadway show, ‘Shrek the Musical’. Technically, the musical show is
not the same as the film but it has its advantages. Children and adults enjoy seeing celebrities in the roles of
Shrek and Princess Fiona. The success of the musical is also based on a nice combination of new and old
popular songs.
F.
The stories about the green troll and his friends are for all ages. Teenagers and grown-ups may enjoy modern
computer games about Shrek. Computer stories have attractive design and dynamic plots, so gamers and fans
will not be bored. Though the images of Shrek and Fiona are a bit different from the film, they are easily
recognizable.

Halloween
Halloween dates back to an ancient Celtic festival. The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area
of Ireland, the United Kingdom and northern France, celebrated their new year on 1
st
November. This day
showed that the summer was over and winter had come. Because of the cold and darkness, winter was
associated with human death.
Celts believed that on Halloween night the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. With their help, the
Druids or Celtic priests, could predict the future. It was important because people depended on the natural
world which was dangerous and changeable. They wanted to know what their life would be like in the next
year.
For this event the Druids built big bonfires, where the people gathered to burn crops and animals. It
was a gift to the Celtic gods. During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes made of animal heads and
skins. They sang, danced and listened to the stories the Druids told them. When the celebration was over,
they went home and brought burning pieces of wood with them. They lit their fires and hoped it would
ensure good fortune and protect the family during the winter.
The first celebrations of Halloween in America were public events. Neighbours got together to
celebrate the harvest and tell each other stories of the dead. They also sang and danced. By the middle of the
nineteenth century, these autumn festivals were common, but Halloween was not yet celebrated everywhere
in the country.
In the second half of the nineteenth century, lots of immigrants started coming to America. They
helped to make the celebration of Halloween a popular national event. Americans began to dress up in
frightening costumes and go from house to house asking for food or money. The most popular characters
were witches, ghosts, and vampires. Everyone tried to look as ugly and scary as possible.
Halloween is closely associated with the Jack-o’-lantern, a pumpkin with a candle inside that shines
through the holes to make a horrible face. Most people think that the Jack-o’-lantern is an American
tradition. However, the original Jack-o’-lantern was not a pumpkin but a man who, according to the old Irish
legend, played a trick on the devil himself. He was punished for that and was accepted neither to heaven nor
to hell. The Irish people shared the legend with the Americans and showed them how to make Jack-o’-
lantern out of the pumpkin.
By the 1930s, Halloween had been celebrated with parades, town-wide parties and lots of other
entertainment. Later a new tendency appeared. By the 1950s, Halloween had changed into a holiday directed
mainly at children. On that evening children in costumes travel from house to house in order to ask for treats
(such as some sweets, a small present or a few coins) with the question “Trick or treat?” The trick is a threat
(usually not working) to perform mischief on the owner of the house if no treat is given. “Trick or treat?” has
become a traditional practice on Halloween in many countries.

It all started in 1865. A group of Frenchmen were having dinner in one of the
most restaurants near Paris
They talked about the democratic changes in the USA and wanted to support
the American people. After a short they agreed on
an original idea.
The idea was suggested by Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi, a sculptor and
. He said they could make a statue of a woman
holding the torch of freedom
It was an ambitious project and it was to complete it
