Have you ever felt every choice you make is scrupulously watched by society?

Within a new trend in the Movies Industry‚ a lot of classic books are selected to be turned into films for the big screen. This is the case of the epic poem Beowulf‚ which dates from Anglo Saxon times and is considered as the earliest poem in the modern European language.

Memorable A story wrote from many others The Thousand And One Nights has no true author. Wrote over the last few centuries its authors are unknown and many. This was the first thing that I thought was amazing about this text. It is a compiled component of so many people who we may never know. It is a piece of history that normal people were able to pass on. I enjoyed the uniqueness of the stories. A Thousand And One Nights was the best critique assigned in this class‚ due to it being truly
