Similarities between Beowulf and “Beowulf” Beowulf‚ an epic written down in the year 1060 by the Beowulf Poet‚ is the epitome of what true writing is‚ defining the standard of the epic itself.

Being eighteen and given a job makes more sense than being twelve because you are older and you become an adult in our society. Also‚ I think that Lily is nine so the movie can portray the receiving of the bikes

He doesn’t use a sentimental approach or political

Watching the Anne Frank movie and reading the play helped me gain a lot of new information. The beginning of the play was all about the Franks having to go into hiding and how they were coping with their unfortunate situation. Similarly‚ the movie’s beginning also showed Anne Frank and her family going into their hiding spot‚ the Secret Annex‚ except the movie showed this with a lot more emotion‚ and with a much more serious and dramatic tone. By the middle of the play‚ the Van Daans had joined Anne’s
