Story Hangover Thoughts: Tangled

-

 Tangled was also pretty tangled to me. (No pun intended).

Rapunzel’s reaction to the whole ordeal honestly surprised me. She’d just found out she’d literally been a prisoner for her entire life, that her “mother” wasn’t related to her by blood or legal adoption and that said woman had lied to her for her entire life because she’d wanted to use her for personal gain, not to mention watching Gothel, the woman who raised her die, and she’s totally fine to leave and picked up with her real parents like nothing happened. And Gothel didn’t even need to abduct her! She could’ve just taken a job as the princess’s nanny. She’d still have had access to her.


On a related note, I’m honestly surprised how countless search parties couldn’t find a tower the height of a skyscraper built out in the middle of nowhere, so I actually did the math, and the tower was only 114.97097 miles from the kingdom. I don’t know why they couldn’t figure that out, it took me about ninety-five minutes of math, two calculator apps, and twenty minutes of research based on the distance formula I learned about in Physics class. (D=ST Distance equals speed multiplied by time).


All they had to do to find her was figure out the height of the castle’s balcony and the average rate a horse can gallop carrying the combined weight of the average adult woman and a newborn baby, factoring in how long a horse can run for while carrying that weight and how far the average human can run on foot multiplied by a gravitational pull of 9.8. Once you figure all that out, it’s easy. Especially when you consider that a tower that’s over seventy feet tall built way out in the middle of nowhere would be incredibly hard to miss.

 By the way, if you’re wondering how I got 114.97097 miles as an answer, here are my calculations. (D=ST Distance equals speed multiplied by time)

G= Gothel and R=Rapunzel J=Joules (a measurement of energy) 

110+4.97097= 114.97097 distance

113*9.8*5= 765.51768237991 J Potential Energy G 

7.5*9.8*0.5= 16.6695195975 J Potential Energy R

2.98704 m/s2 gravitational potential G

450.04736 m/s2 gravitational potential P.

Petition

 I figured if I solved whatever problem was causing my anxiety, I'd get rid of it and I'd be helping people. It's a win-win. right? Here's a link to the petition I'm trying to circulate. If you sign it, I'll shout you out! https://chng.it/2zZ2HWhptQ     It's not fair to only take one because it's easier. Traumatized kids separated from their siblings can end up going down the wrong path later in life or worse. I did a ton of research on this. The highlighted parts of the requirements are mine. Proposal for The Betterment of Siblings in Foster Care  This document comes not as a complaint or criticism, but as a request for upholding a simple and basic human right which for too long has been denied to children simply because it isn’t being upheld by a system designed to protect them. Over 80% of children in foster care, who after already losing their parents and homes, are separated from their siblings.  The separation of siblings in foster care has a mass...

Book Hangover Thoughts: The Forgotten Family

-
The  For gotten Family by Meryl Matthews really made me think.  In this story, a wealthy couple with fertility problems during the late 1800s did what many people in that situation typically do. They decided to adopt. In this case, a two-year-old girl from the slums. Fun Fact , that was what poorer neighborhoods were referred to at the time. Now, the Bonners actually had a decent reason to give up their youngest. Not just because she was an unplanned pregnancy, which she likely was, since with two drunkard parents who couldn’t be bothered with any kind of improvement that didn’t instantly increase their finances, another baby was the last thing needed. Neither of her birth parents had any real interest in having a family, which is why the kids basically raised themselves, and very well I may add. Queenie was only thirty months old, and very eloquent for her age, given the circumstances, and able to physically and verbally assert herself, and they made it clear that they...
