Today’s Princess of the Day is: Odette, from World Masterpiece Fairy Tale: Swan Lake.

A shy and beautiful young princess, Odette is kidnapped by the evil sorcerer Rothbart, who desires her hand in marriage. She is cursed to turn into a swan during the day so that no other man will fall in love with her, as only true love can break the power of Rothbart’s magic.

All the Barbie protagonists I know -from best to worst

I feel like starting with a disclaimer that this is just my opinion, which should be implied. Anyway, this list took forever because I kept switching them. Look I am bad at picking favourites. The top 3 is actually pretty interchangable.

1. Eden Starling (Barbie in a Christmas Carol) - I love her with all my heart and then some. I love her design, her backstory, her personality, how unique she is from every other Barbie on the list. (Whoever came up with Barbie as Scrroge is a genius that deserves an Oscar) The fact that I relate to her in some aspects makes her even more loveable in my eyes. Also I think she deserves #1 spot because out of all the characters on this list she's the one I sorted before even rewatching her movie -and the rewatch confirmed the sorting. She's that memorable!

2. Princess Annika (Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus) - I love her too: her determination,her cleverness, her bravery, her justified anger. The "Destroy Wenlock!" speech alone guaranteed her a place in top 3. The fact that she doesn't back down even in the face of impossible odds - or maybe especially because the odds are impossible, her relationship with Aiden and with Brietta and her passion for ice-skating make her a very interesting character. Annika is a powerhouse and her entire journey is *chef's kiss*.

3. Merliah Summers (Barbie in a Mermaid Tale 1&2) - I think what I love about Merliah is that she put herself first, in both movies. Her first priority was her career as a surfer and only later did she come to accept her role as a mermaid princess. Her relationship with her mother is also great, I love them when they get along and I also love them when they don't - probably my favourite mother-daughter relationship from all the Barbie movies. Merliah's initial skepticism, her putside the box thinking and her competitive streak are delightful. Also her and Kylie might my favourite ship in the Barbieverse.

4. Blair Willows (Barbie Princess Charm School) - A Barbie with actual money problems?! Of course I was soft for Blair from the very begining. Her dedication and love to her adoptive family made her an instant fave. I loved that once Dean Privet helped her with her lessons she did her damn best to graduate from the school. She had her clothes torn, was accused of theft and looked in a safe, yet nothing stopped her.

5. Mariposa (Barbie: Mariposa) - I always had a soft spot for her as a kid. Her desire for adventure -for escape- the way she felt like she didn't quite fit in, her love for books, the somehow-anti-social attitude made her a perfectly relatable character in little!me's eyes. The way she refused to believe the rumors and the stereotypes in the second movie makes her even better. I loved her friendship with Catania and her romance with Carlos was cute too. Also her design might be my second favourite after Eden's.

6. Ro/Princess Rosella (Barbie as The Island Princess) - This movie is a goddamn masterpiece and Ro is a huge part of why. First I cannot help but be impressed by how adaptable she is: not only did she survive on a deserted island for ten years, she thrived. And then she had the courage to leave the only home she knew to go with Antonio and find answers about who she is. My heart ')). Then there is the fact that she risled her own freedom to help save the animals or how she was ready to step back and let Antonio do his duty and marry Luciana despite the fact that she loved him. And the ending wjere she finds her mother and starts singing the lullaby? It is what had cemented my love for this film and this character.

7. Corrine (Barbie in the three Musketeers) - In a lot of ways I find her and Merliah very similar -they both have goals they want to achieve and are somehow selfish because of it in the begining- but I think Corrine is a much kinder person: remember when she got that violin bow for one of the girls as a way to apologize? It felt like such a character establishing moment. I love that she took no shit for anyone, even the prince, and never faltered for one second in her desire to be a musketeer.

8. Princess Genevieve (Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses) - In a lot of ways she reminds me of Blair as she's a quieter personality but forceful in her own way. The way she always stood up for her younger sisters, her love for dancing, her relationship with her father and the fact that she was so heart-eyes when it came to Derek -seriously I don't think any other Babrie was so smitten with her LI from the very first moment- made sure she'll have a place in top 10. The only reason why she's not higher is because I love the others more.

9. Princess Annelisse (Barbie as Princess and the Pauper) - I think my favourite thing about Annelisse is that she completely understood her duties as a princess and was ready to sacrifice her personal happiness for her people. I also really like how she never shied from using her royal status- even if it didn't really work- or how she still tried to help the other taylor with the work when she was thought to be Erica, pity she had zero skill. Her relationship with her mom is my second favourite after Merliah-Calissa. Also collecting rocks is such an unique hobby AND she's a cat girl. Of course I love her.

10. Erika (Barbie as Princess and the Pauper) - Another cat girl! And so snippy and unafraid to be herself. Her dynamic with Annelisse is gold: Erika had all the reasons to despise Annelisse but instead clearly ~bonded with her from the very first moment and went along with an insane plan just to help her. Not to mention, she's the first Barbie who explicitly said "I am gonna fulfill my dreams and have the guy I love; what's this nonsense about choosing only one?" and I have to appreciate her for it.

11. Rapunzel (Barbie as Rapunzel) - The fact alone that she is best friends with a dragon gives her major points in my books. Her love of painting and the way she used it as a literal way of escape? Go, girl! The fact that she refused to let Stefan tell her his name just to make sure Gothel won't find out? Impressive and so spiteful! And the disgust in her voice when she realized Gothel had kept her prisoner for years because her father hadn't married her? Perfect.

12. Kristyn Farraday (Barbie in the Pink Shoes) - I really liked her enthusiasm for getting to actually be the characters she didn't even get to dance in the real world, the way her mind immediately internalized the rules of the fairytale-esque world despite how insane it was and how she refused to conform to the rules. I see the movie as an exploration of Kristyn's creepling fear of failure and the pressure she felt as a proffesional ballet dancer and seeing her come out triumphant on her own terms felt really good.

13. Actress!Barbie (Fashion Fairytale and Fairy Secret) - Probably the most three-dimensional of the "real" Barbies. I think what I like most at her is her determination to save Ken in the second movie. What can I say, I love a Barbie-in-shining-armour. I also like that she knew when to step back and let others do their jobs - in fact she doesn't so much in the first movie, just motivates people. If I had to pick a Barbie to have as a friend, I think she'll be my first choice. She seems like a good listener and someone who knows how to solve problems.

14. Elina (Barbie: Fairytopia 1&2&3) - She is an interesting character and one whose stories I do like, but something never clicked for me when it comes to Elina. Buut, this doesn't mean I don't appreciate her desire to save everyone or how she never drowned in self-pity when she was the only fairy without wings.

15. Clara (Barbie in the Nutcracker)- Clara doesn't get the chance to do much, but I love the glimpses of her intelligence we see (how she figured out the Nutcracker is Eric) or how she longs for adventure and excitment.

16. Thumbelina (Barbie present Thumbelina) - I like that she's an inventor and that she is ready to use Mackena to save her home, but overall I found her unimpressive.

17. Liana (Barbie and the Diamond Castle) - I always had a grudge on her as a child on Alexa's behalf. I always felt like Liana dragged her down. This being said, Liana is still a super smart cookie and very devoted to her friends so she avoids being even lower on the list.

18. Princess Lumina (Barbie: Pearl Princess) - The most memorable things about her are how she loooved having a job and how she refused to condemn the woman that may have raised her but had also kidnapped her from her family. Now both these traits should make her an intriguing character, unfortunately the movie is pretty boring and it never taps into Lumina's potential.

19. Princess Alexa (Barbie and the Secret Door) - Look I relate to her: Lover of books? Check. Desire to escape your life full of rules? Check. Not good with people? Check. But Alexa's development was so weird, the movie was very boring and felt like it had no trajectory and it affected the protagonist a lot.

20. Odette (Barbie in Swan Lake) - She just...doesn't do much. I wish we have seen her more involved in her own story. Not to mention I really didn't understand why she was so afraid of being in the spotlight or how being turned into a swan helped her get over it.

21. Starlight!Barbie (Barbie: Star Light Adventures) - I think my opinion of her -and the whole movie- can be summed up in the world "meh". There is simply no spark of life here.

22. Teen!Barbie (Barbie Diaries) - I have such an overwhelming repulsion towards "unpopular" girls wanting the be popular. Especially since I cannot see what exactly is holding Babrie back from being happy? She seems to have everything (great friends, nice life, good grades and music talent!), but doesn't care about any of it. Not to mention, she's the only Barbie who has to settle for a guy that was pining for her while she only saw him as a friend and I resent that.

作业代写：The cultural spirit of music in the west

下面为大家整理一篇优秀的paper代写范文- The cultural spirit of music in the west，供大家参考学习，这篇论文讨论了西方音乐的文化精神。在世界范围来看，西方音乐的独特性在于其完整科学的乐理系统，以及丰富多样的器乐与声乐，除此以外，还承载了西方世界在千年变革进程中所衍生的文化精神，从而在世界文化中谱写了一曲独一无二的人文乐章。所以说西方音乐是西方人文精神的主要载体，音乐家们在创作过程中注入了大量个人情感、哲思以及时代精神。

Music is the main carrier of western humanistic spirit, and musicians have injected a lot of personal emotion, philosophy and spirit of The Times in the process of creation. Strong "happiness" in Mozart's music, Beethoven's interpretation, praise and love of the human spirit, Tchaikovsky's deep understanding and sympathy for the underclass, and the Christian spirit In addition, music also absorbs cultural elements from other art forms. Music, with its rich cultural connotations, is the quintessence of human classical culture and will play a greater role in the new era of human civilization.

Music occupying the extremely important status in human society, and for nearly five hundred years have occupied a strong position in the world of western culture, music is at the forefront of the seven arts, many music giant most proud of is listed as one of the western nation culture celebrities, has become the symbol of culture. In the world, the western music's uniqueness lies in its complete scientific system of music theory, as well as the rich variety of instrumental and vocal music, in addition to this, also carrying the western world in the process of change in one thousand derivatives by a variety of cultural spirit, to compose a song in the world culture unique cultural movement.

In the music of the classical era, Christianity is still occupying the dominance of western culture, many composers who was employed by the church, such as Mozart worked in salzburg archbishop door, until he ran away, 25, Vienna. Therefore, it is not surprising that many works of classical music contain considerable religious thoughts. We in Mozart's "swan song" "requiem in D minor, for example, Mozart himself in writing this is on the verge of death, heart was filled with fear of death instinct and the strange world, as well as in the face of god and the fear of the unknown force. In the second movement, Sequentia, we can interpret the religious process from being in sin to believing in salvation through the transformation of the atmosphere from severe crisis to noble and solemn. This theme is reinforced in subsequent movements. Just as the history of modern western culture is not completely equivalent to the history of Christian culture, the connotation of music in the west is far more than religious feelings. Since the Renaissance of western culture's emphasis on "people" has been evident in the music, expressing personal feelings, thought and mind to a certain extent, has become the mainstream of the composer, it also makes the listening to music got rid of the bondage of sensuality and religious beliefs, as others heart soul of a career.

Goethe once compared Mozart to Raphael, praising their "light-hearted artistic approach". When we listen to Mozart's most representative work, string serenade in G major, we can easily feel Mozart's spirit of joy. The music genre of serenade is itself soft and romantic, and Mozart gives it a magical energy. The first movement, with its youthful vigour, is best known for its use in the American film "Mozart", as the first impression of the Austrian public on Mozart. The second chapter is beautiful, charming and full of sorrow, as if telling the brilliant and miserable life of this genius. The third chapter is the minuet dance is gorgeous and colorful, giving the audience a warm and romantic impression everywhere. In the fourth movement, the melody of the gyre is filled with Mozart's "happiness". Mozart's operatic masterpiece, "the marriage of figaro", also has a happy and optimistic overture that matches the comedy ending of the opera. Mozart's untimely death and suffering from cold and with the high society crowd out, but the work is permeated with the joy of spirit full of love and fighting spirit, as well as to the suffering of transcendence, this spirit has become a typical western culture spirit and legacy. Accept what Mozart called "happiness," the simplest way to achieve the most lasting happiness in a complex and varied life. The love of the world has since been expressed and celebrated by western artists. In the music field, lullabies have become the most unique form of singing the praises of maternal love.

The love and understanding of nature and creation is also a feature of music in the west, and musicians have even created superb techniques to imitate water, wind and birds in nature with an orchestra. Beethoven himself was an ardent lover of nature and was famous for his habit of walking along the valley stream. His famous symphony no. 6 is the model of nature music, the first movement of the allegro is repeated and repeated repeatedly, making people feel the flow of nature. The second movement is extremely beautiful and moving, and is famous for its imitation of birds. Beethoven himself attached great importance to the title of the movement "by the stream", which was a rare practice at that time. In the fourth movement, "the tempest", with the power of Beethoven's spirit and strength, gives full play to the power and dignity of nature. Beethoven's borrowing nature of poetry image in the "rural", shows both his majesty, wild and tender feeling, the inner world of the fifth movement, enlivens beautiful pastoral style, as tagore's poem says, "god's great power is in the gentle breeze, not in the storm." Natural scenery combines with personal emotion and philosophy.

If Beethoven music of humanism is full of grand verve and noble mind, horizon over humanity as a whole, Tchaikovsky, through to the underworld suffering people's sympathy and understanding, from the perspective of more subtle, more local, elicits the same humanitarian spirit. His famous "as the march of a song", based on a small Asiatic ballad, can be said to originate from the folk, but also express the folk emotion and spirit. The song, played with a low, elegant cello, can be said to be "like hatred and admiration, like weeping and complaining". Like the suffering people it depicts, it gives people a feeling of sympathy and awe. Leo Tolstoy, a great Russian writer with a deep friendship for the common people, wept when he heard this song. This may be the sympathy of two compassionate Russian masters.

In addition to its own humanistic connotation and spirit, music is closely related to other arts, and draws nutrients from other art forms to enrich its own cultural connotation. For example, songs, operas and dance dramas are called "comprehensive music". In these areas, music can blend with literature, dance and other artistic styles. Mendelssohn's "on the wings of the song" the Lorelei with hill's herschel is adapted from the German poet Heine's famous poem, "if the combination of poem and music in the original form is a spontaneous phenomenon, so in the advanced stage in the development of art, is the free pursuit of human perfection in art." Tchaikovsky's swan lake and nutcracker are adapted from folk literature and hoffmann's fairy tales respectively. As for opera, music is a model art combined with literature. In terms of the relationship between music and art, many music works often have a beautiful painting sense, such as the genre of music such as pastoral songs. All the movements in art history, such as romanticism and impressionism, can leave a distinct mark in music field. The cultural spirit of other western art classes can also be Shared by music.

Music is the strangest art because it is completely abstract, completely dependent on the listening of both ears and the perception of soul. Because of this, the cultural spirit of music is more contagious and has more power to push people to the bottom of their hearts. The appeal of music has been around since ancient times. In modern times, music is still active in all corners of society and is loved by people from all walks of life. Western classical music can be said to be the source of modern music around the world. In the minds of those who hold the classical culture as the bible, the western classical music is always the holy book of the gods and contains countless rich cultural doctrines waiting to be thoroughly understood.
