There are some movies that are adapted from the novel such as Harry Potter, Da Vinci Code, Twilight Saga, The Hunger Games and Lagenda Budak Setan. What are the differences between watching a movie and reading a novel? There are some contrasts between the two actions. One of the differences is by watching a movie, you just need to sit and relax. It is very easy since you only need to watch it and understands it. Furthermore, you can watch the movie while doing something else such as eating or exercising. You do not really have to focus like to imagine how the atmosphere is in the movie at that time or how a person is walking down the streets. Lastly, you can avoid disbelief since it is a multi-sensory experience. On the other hand, by reading…
Gilgamesh is told to be the oldest existing story in the history of humankind, imminently, the story has many similarities to the bible. Bible is a text oof belief based lessons and the base of the religion of Christianity which has many similarities to Gilgamesh as in they both include the tales of worldly destruction with the reasons, destroyer and the saving. All similarities aside, the two texts can be contrasted as the bible is the root of world’s biggest universalizing religion and the Gilgamesh was not extracted as a manuscript and if man made errors are factored in, it may not have been comprehended as it was supposed to be. Gilgamesh and the bible can be compared and contrasted based on the stories, lessons and the effects on the evolution…
In almost every book you read, you will find that someone always has to go on some sort of journey or quest (Rice). If you examine each quest closely, you will notice that they are all very similar (Rice). When things are used repeatedly like that, they are said to have an archetypal pattern (Rice). The quest on which all these heroes go on is referred to as the archetypal quest (Rice). “The Wizard of Oz” focuses on a small-town girl living in Kansas. “The Epic of Gilgamesh” focuses on an arrogant king who rules the city of Uruk. The Wizard of Oz and The Epic of Gilgamesh were written 5000 years apart, but they both contain the elements that make them archetypal quests.…
The Epic of Gilgamesh vs. Star wars The Epic of Gilgamesh and Star wars at first glance seem as though they are polar opposites. One is a journey through space and the other is a journey for everlasting life. Vaguely these stories are very different but when looked at closely they share a lot of the same themes and concepts.…

In Gilgamesh, we see several of Campbell’s stages of the heroic myth. We see Gilgamesh introduced in his ordinary world, he is called to adventure twice, he passes the first threshold, he meets several helpers and encounters tests, he reaches the innermost cave, endures the supreme ordeal, seizes the treasure, is resurrected, and returns home with the treasure.…
In world literature Gilgamesh and the Book of Job are considered to be masterpieces. These stories are two of the oldest epics literature written, however they appear to be more of a myth or a dream of great leaders. Both stories cover pain and suffering in the eyes of humans who wish they were Gods. Gilgamesh and Job are great leaders that are rich and powerful. They have a spiritual connection that relates to the humanity and belief of mankind with a relationship with Gods. These stories are a comparison of suffering that is evitable to the amount of pain you will feel. Gilgamesh and Job bring culture and religion to their people and attempts to control them or have them to follow them. Although, Gilgamesh doesn’t have a choice like Job.…
In the story Gilgamesh, there are many different things that go on and different fascinating events. The people, events, and even the animals are very different and interesting to many people.

The differences are the cause of the flood, the duration and the means of announcement.…
In the Epic of Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh undertakes a journey of self-discovery and transformation from a tyrannical leader to a refined, mature and wiser king. The hero of Uruk, who is two-thirds god and one-third man, was introduced as the reigning monarch of Uruk who was a notorious rapist causing hatred and concern within in the kingdom. In the epic, his friendship and adventures undertaken with Enkidu, the death of Enkidu, and his failure to achieve immortality are key factors that led to the development of Gilgamesh 's character. By the end of the epic, Gilgamesh, who was initially antagonistically depicted as domineering, transforms into the wiser protagonist who has the courage to accept the notion of death and his fate as a mortal…
On Halloween each year, my family does not go trick-or-treating. Instead, we turn off all our lights, make a couple batches of popcorn, order pizza, and sit down together in our living room to watch movies. We often watch more than one movie on this special night. Last year, we decided to watch Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Sea of Monsters. My siblings and I had read and loved the books, written by Rick Riordan, so we thought, “How bad could it be? It would be amazing to see these incredible stories onscreen!” We were wrong. Every member of my family who had read the books agreed that this movie destroyed the intent of the original Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. We had rented the movie in hopes of being able to see the characters from the book brought to life on the screen in the same vivid way that Riordan brought them to life in the pages of his book. But instead, we were horribly disappointed. The characters and most of the basic story were there, but they were different. The goal was off, the producers seem to have attempted to stuff the entire series into two movies, and we generally felt that the films were incomplete. Gone were the fascinating scenes in which trivia about Greek mythology were woven into the…

The history of film began in 1827 when the first still photograph was taken. But, the first moving picture started with the first technological precursors of film, the pinhole camera. The pinhole camera was a simple camera without a lens and a single small aperture with a lightproof box with a small hole in one side. Light from a scene passes through this only point and projects the reversed image on the opposite side of the box. This camera, nevertheless, was followed by the more advanced camera obscura. Operating camera obscura, it was achievable to project a moving image but there was no ways of recording the image for later showing. Although, this was a long distance from motion pictures, as we know of them. The first commercial exhibition of film took place on April 14, 1894 at Edison's Kinetoscope peep-show parlor. Each frame was printed separately…
