Mary Poppins

Mary Poppins
Have you ever seen a lady that can clean by snapping? If you haven’t I think that you should see the movie “Mary Poppins” by P.L. Travers. Mary Poppins is a young woman who is magical. She is a nanny that changes the way the children think. Mary Poppins is a highly unrealistic story that has a twist of romance that follows the plot line.

Just because Mary Poppins can do no wrong doesn’t mean she is a good nanny for the Banks family. In the movie, Mary Poppins can fly and can clean by snapping. The movie is highly unrealistic when Mary Poppins flies or talks to animals. She makes the children happy when she uses magic. The children think it’s amazing but does the dad?

Besides that Mary Poppins fallows the characteristics of Romance it follows the plot line too. First in the beginning of the movie the Banks family looses their nanny which is a minor conflict but they got Mary Poppins so things were looking up. But their dad was still mean and rude but by the end of the movie the dad was nice again, it was like he was a whole new person.

Also in Mary Poppins has symbolism that follows the romance plot line. One symbolism is white doves if you remember in the pastel, chalk world they flew right in front of the whole screen. In the fantasy land there were animals singing and dancing which again unrealistic. Also the banks families’ house is very big and luxurious which is also one of the symbolisms.

The movie Mary Poppins is highly unrealistic. She can fly and use magic. The movie follows the plot line, characteristics, and symbolism. That’s why romance is the mode of literature.
