Why did i choose this url: I really love fairy tales. The original, gory ones that I used to read as a child. And I acually don’t even really like the one this blog is named after but it sounds so pretty. (the fairytale is Snow-White and Rose-Red’s finnish translation)

Favourite food: I like food and it’s so hard to pick a favorite. Maybe this reindeer thing or pizza or something.

Last book i read: Terveisin seepra by Nadja Sumanen, I have really conflicted feelings about it but it wasn’t a bad book.

3 favorite fandoms: I’m not really into the whole fandom thing but um to like communities or something like that I like Danganronpa, all the mushroom blogs posting pretty pictures and intereting facts  and then probably the yoi fandom can be nice too.

Research for narrative analysis

here are some of my notes for the essay:

Question: Analyse your chosen narrative with close reference to the Hero’s Journey or another appropriate story template.

·        N.B. You may write about the film’s failure to fit a conventional structure.

 What happens in Kiki’s delivery service?

·        Kiki turns 13 and a full moon she decides to leave home tonight

·        She packs her bags mum is worried and brings Jiji

·        Her mum gives her, her own broom and tells her she can’t take the one she made as its too small

·        Kiki leaves with a vague plan on where she is going

·        On the way down she is greeted with another witch ( a fortune teller) who asks Kiki what’s her talent realises she doesn’t know yet and  the witch dives down avoiding the storm

·        Kiki quickly finds cover in a train

·        She is woken up by cows in a ball of hey

·        She takes flight into the city where the civilians are amazed by seeing a witch for the first time.

·        She loses control and flies manically across the city where she is stopped by a police officer

·        The police officer threatens to tell her parents when tombo distracts the police officer and kiki runs away

·        Tombo catches up to kiki and asks her about her flying powers, kiki doesn’t respond as she finds it rude that he didn’t introduce himself by name first

·        As she walks down town she finds osono trying to give back a left behind dummy to a customer. Kiki offers to fly it down to the customer

·        The customer hands a thank you note to kiki to deliver back to osono so she does

·        Osono invites kiki for a cup of tea and introduces herself

·        She gives her a room to stay in

·        Kiki decides to create a delivery service but needs a phone so she works part time for osono to use their phone

·        Her first customer wants to deliver a toy cat that looks like jiji in a bird cage to a child

·        She takes the bird cage a sets of flying high to avoid traffic

·        A gust of wind hits some birds and then gets attacked by crows as she hits a tree near some crow eggs kiki she drobs the cat in the middle of the forest and decides to put jiji in the cage to buy her some time

·        After she delivered jiji she goes looking for the toy and finds it at ursela house

·        Kiki finds that the toy is broken and ursala says she can fix it if she cleans around the house once finished she takes off to save jiji

·        Jiji escapes thanks to a dog helping him escape and brings back to toy cat

·        Kiki helps put some more at the bakery and takes orders tombo walks in and buys a cake then invites her to a flight party and kiki is excited

·        She then gets a delivery request and sets off to the house

·        Two old ladies haven’t finished making a pie and their oven breaks so kiki helps them by using the old oven and in the mean time helps around the house. She realises she is running late to the party and sets of to deliver the baked pie in the pooring rain to a snooby girl who doesn’t apprietiate the pie

·        She goes home but it is too late and falls into bed upset and now sick

·        She wakes up ill orsono helps kiki giving her the day off and makes her feel better

·        She realises jiji isn’t speaking and she cannot fly her powers are gone so she devotes her attention to the bakery and postpones her delivery service

·        Orsono tells kiki she has a special deliver she would like kiki to deliver in person

·        Kiki delivers it on foot to find out its for tombo

·        Tombo shows her his flying bike and they ride together and crash

·        Kiki laughs and they talk

·        Tombo’s friends invite him to the blimp one of them being the snoby girl and tombo invites kiki

·        Kiki refuses and walks away tombo is confused but goes anyway

·        Kiki goes home and is invited by Ursula to go with her and stay with her for abit

·        She paints kiki and tells her that sometimes she cant paint because she needs a reason to paint just as kiki needs a reason to fly

·        As kiki returns the old laddies ask her to deliver a cake to herself as a thank you for the help

·        She finds tombo holding onto the blimp in danger on tv so kiki sets of to save him

·        She borrows a sweeper broom from an old man and learns to fly again

·        Her motivation was to save tombo and she took off and saved him

·        The end

 I have decided to use voglers version of the hero’s journey as I feel that it is more generalisable then Campbells.

Vogler

Departure/Separation

Act 1

 1.       Tests, Allies, Enemies

·         “The audience’s first impressions of the Special World should strike a  sharp contrast with the Ordinary World.

·         The most important function of this period of adjustment to the  Special world is … to test the hero, putting her through a series of trials  and challenges that are meant to prepare her for greater ordeals ahead.” Pg.  136

·         “The Tests at the beginning of Act Two are often difficult obstacles,  but they don’t have the maximum life-and-death quality of later events.”

·         “If the adenture were a college learning experience, Act One would be  a series of entrance exams, and the Test stage of Act Two would be a series  of pop quizzes, meant to sharpen the hero’s skill in specific areas and  prepare her for the more rigorous midterm and final exams coming up.” Pg.136

·         “The Tests may be a continuation of the Mentor’s training. Many  Mentors accompany their heroes this far into the adventure, coaching them for  the big rounds ahead.” Pg. 136

·         “The Tests may also be built into the architecture or landscape of the  Special World. This world is usually dominated by a villain or Shadow who is  careful to surround his world with traps, barricades, and checkpoints.”

·��        Sidekicks: “…pairings of hero and sidekick can be found throughout  myth and literature…. These close Allies of the hero may provide comic relief  as well as assistance.”

·         “Comical sidekicks … may freely cross the boundaries between Mentor  and Trickster, sometimes aiding the hero and acting as his conscience,  sometimes goofing up or causing mischief.”

·         “The Testing stage may also provide the opportunity for the forging of  a team.”

·         Enemies: “The hero’s appearance in the Special World may tip the  Shadow to his arrival and trigger a chain of threatening events.” Pg. 138

·         “A special type of Enemy is the rival… [who] is not out to kill the  hero, but is just trying to defeat him in a the competition.”

·         “The watering hole is a natural congregating place and a good spot to  observe and get information.” Pg. 140

·         This goes throughout the film as she meets  new allies such as the old ladies and enemies (kinda) the snobby Girl

 2.       Approach to the Inmost Cave

·         “It’s time to make final preparations for the central ordeal of the  adventure.”

·         “As heroes near the gates of a citadel deep within the Special World,  they may take time to make plans, do reconnaissance on the enemy, reorganize  or thin out the group, fortify and arm themselves, and have a last laugh and  a final cigarette before going over the top into no-man’s-land. Pg. 144

·         Last laugh, a joyful time (calm b4 storm)

·         Courtship

·         Beware illusions

·         Threshold Guardian

·         Another Special World

·         Shamanic territory

·         Higher stakes

·         Team pep-talk, ass-whupp

·         Disguise

·         NO EXIT

Between the  Foreshadowing of the blimp and the climax kiki goes to the mentor Ursulas  house and learns she needs motivation to get her powers back her threshold  guardian is her worry that she will never get her powers back but she  overcomes this fear thanks to ursula

 3.       Ordeal

·         Death and Rebirth

·         Crisis not climax

·         Points of tension

·         The mid-point (can also be delayed crisis, but my novel is mid)

·         Witness to sacrifice or death needed

·         Facing the shadow

·         Walk through story in Shadow’s skin

·         Sacred Marriage

·         Negative anima or animus

·         Facing the greatest fear

·         Standing up to a parent

·         Death of the ego

Kiki finds  tombo hanging on for dear life on the out of control blimp due to winds fore  shadowed earlier in the film with the crows

 4.       Reward

·         Celebration

·         Campfire scenes to retell the tale

·         Love scenes

·         Seizing the sword, taking possession

·         Holy Grail (the elixir that heals all)

·         New perceptions, see through deception

·         Clairvoyance

·         Self-realization

·         Epiphany

Kiki is able  summon her powers in desperation using an old guys broom although not  particularly a celebration but more in correlation with seizing the sword

 Act 3

 5.       The Road Back

·         Another threshold

·         Finnish your opponent

·         Chase scenes

·         Magic flight – sacrifice of beloved/sacred objects

·         Setbacks require resolve to finish journey

Kiki rescues  tombo

I have also looked at the book ‘Studio Ghibli the films of Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata’ by Colin Odell and Michelle Le Blanc.

Where it goes over common themes within each of the Ghibli films and their inspirations. I helps to give a good understanding on how the films came about and why they were made the way they were.

mökkiloman suomiupdatet:

lukin kaikki käyttöohjeet ja käänsin viroksi kavereille

kirjoitin talon haltijalle niiku "siellä on vitun jäätä siellä putkessa"

kysyin joku satamatyöskentelijalta että missä helvetissä saa ajaa laivaan ja hän puhui niin nopea suomea etten ymmärnyt mitään ja pitäsi kysyä uudelleen englanniksi

menin 3x päivässä kmarketiin ja iltana ostin postimerkkeja kavereiden korteille full suomeksi

kuulin ku joku suomalainen sanoi että jotakin on "oikean ihan jees". unfortunately ei kuullut mikä se hyvä asia oli
