The Joy Luck Club; an intriguing novel and movie about the hardships about being a Chinese immigrant to America soon after the immigration ban was lifted. A challenging story that forced the reader to try to understand that certain customs and traditions that were seen as ’usual’ can be very unlike the ones we as Americans are used to. A story where‚ even though it lacked a lot of violence‚ action‚ or suspense it still was able to grab its readers and viewers. With a little

I have recently watched a movie called High Noon and just read a short story called "The Most Dangerous Game."

breathtaking costumes‚ the movie Troy was a Hollywood movie that was certainly a box office hit. I am not sure if you know this but Troy was based on the Iliad an epic by Homer. Aside from the excitement during the movie‚ unfortunately it proved to be a loose adaptation of Homer’s classic and I could not help but notice the major differences between the book and the movie. One of the most major differences between the book and the movie was the absence of the Gods in the movie. In Homer’s Iliad‚ the

The movie starring Mel Gibson and Glenn Close left out and even added things that were not originally in the play. When Shakespeare wrote Hamlet he did not write in a scene depicting the funeral
