GAZA Campus Journalism (Eng226-CFa) Writing Task: Write a Literary Analysis Essay Applying a Chosen Literary Theory Formalist Analysis Essay on Beauty and the Beast Beauty and the Beast is a timeless fairy tale that explores transformation, inner beauty, and love through a carefully crafted narrative structure and rich use of symbolism. A formalist approach allows us to dissect the text as a self-contained work, focusing solely on its literary elements such as character, setting, plot, symbols, and language. The story follows a classic narrative arc: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. The exposition introduces Beauty, her family, and the circumstances that led her to the Beast’s castle. The rising action centers on Beauty’s growing relationship with the Beast, culminating in the dramatic moment when she confesses her love, which breaks the curse. The resolution ties up the narrative with the Beast’s transformation and their union. This clear, symmetrical structure reflects the story’s underlying theme of balance between appearance and reality, fear and love, selfishness and selflessness. A formalist reading emphasizes how beauty and beast characters serve symbolic functions: Beauty represents reason and virtue, while the Beast symbolizes the misunderstood "other," capable of redemption through love. The Beast is the most potent symbol he represents the deceptive nature of appearances. His monstrous exterior masks his noble soul, challenging the reader to look beyond the surface, while the enchanted castle functions as a liminal space, separated from the ordinary world. It is a setting of transformation and testing, similar to settings in other fairy tales that mark personal growth. The rose, often central in versions of the tale, symbolizes love and the fragility of life and promises. Beauty’s request for a simple rose, unlike her sisters’ lavish wishes, already signals her purity and selflessness. The language of Beauty and the Beast is formal, gentle, and emotionally resonant. Dialogue is often stylized, particularly the Beast’s speech, which is respectful and filled with longing, contrasting with his fearsome appearance. Descriptions of the castle and its magical elements heighten the fairy-tale atmosphere, creating a tone of wonder and enchantment. Viewed through a formalist lens, Beauty and the Beast reveals its artistry through structure, character design, symbolic elements, and stylistic choices. The tale invites readers to reflect on deeper truths about identity, virtue, and transformation not by looking outside the text, but by paying close attention to how the story is told. It is in this elegant interplay of form and meaning that the true magic of Beauty and the Beast resides.

GAZA FINAL EXAM: Reflection Anthology How the English Language has Shaped my Academic Journey and Voice as a Scholar Language is more than a means of communication. It is the foundation upon which we build ideas, express thoughts, and shape our identities. For me, the English language has been a constant companion in my academic journey, not just as a tool for learning, but as the very medium through which I discovered my voice as a scholar. When I first began my formal education, English felt like a challenge, a set of complex grammar rules, unfamiliar vocabulary, and rigid sentence structures. Yet, as the years passed, it became the key that unlocked a world far beyond textbooks. Through English, I gained to understand global perspectives, and literature that sparked critical thinking and curiosity. More importantly, it became the language in which I could articulate my insights, ask questions, and contribute to academic discussions. As I progressed through my studies, writing essays and delivering presentations in English required more than just technical proficiency; it required clarity, organization, and confidence. I began to realize that my academic voice, my ability to form arguments, support claims with evidence, and present ideas coherently was being shaped by how I used the language. English taught me the importance of tone, structure, and precision, allowing me to move from passive learning to active engagement. The transformation did not happen overnight. I remember feeling intimidated when presenting my ideas in front of classmates who seemed more fluent or naturally expressive. But with practice, feedback, and a growing sense of self-belief, I started to embrace the idea that language is not about perfection, but about authenticity and growth. Each essay I wrote, each article I read, and each conversation I joined added layers to my scholarly identity. In many ways, the English language has empowered me. It has allowed me to think beyond borders, to understand diverse viewpoints, and to express myself with greater confidence. It has helped me
Dr.Jaime Hernandez Avenue, Naga City School of Graduate Studies become more analytical, more reflective, and more aware of the power of words not just to inform, but to inspire, persuade, and connect. Today, I see English not as a barrier, but as a bridge. One that connects my thoughts to the world, and my academic aspirations to meaningful expression. It is the voice I use to participate in the global scholarly community, and the language through which I continue to grow, both as a student and as a thinker
