The Paleolithic and Neolithic prehistoric periods have very distinct characteristics. In the Hall of Bulls paintings in Lascaux and a detail copy of a deer hunt‚ wall painting from Catal Huyuk‚ Turkey‚ you can see many similarities‚ as well as differences. The Paleolithic period was over 15‚000 years ago. The people who lived during this time used walls in the caves as their canvas. One of the paintings is located in Southwestern France‚ Lascaux.

The “Hollywood Effect” in Play As once said by John le Carre‚“Having your book turned into a movie is like seeing your oxen turned into bouillon cubes.” He explains how movies can change books into something completely different‚ we are able to see this illustrated between the movie and the story Beowulf. The book Beowulf‚ translated by Burton Raffel and the film Beowulf directed by Robert Zemeckis are two almost completely different versions of one story. Movies made from stories are most of the time inaccurate with the details the give the story

These two texts‚ when studied in comparison‚ I believe‚ enrich our understanding of the significant values presented in each due to the intertwining themes; and the differences between texts arise from the differing perspectives of both composers. I believe Authority & power and Sex are two of the most dominant themes explored in the in the texts‚ because even 87 years after

In the state of Telengana‚ India‚ about five hours away from any city and public transportation‚ is a small village called Gonga Devi Guppa. Accompanied by my translator‚ Hymavathi‚ I lived among the people for three weeks. The American culture I was raised in gifted me several prejudices against Hinduism that I was not aware of until I experienced for myself the truth about the religion.

Similarities of The Wanderer and Beowulf These two stories are of warriors who find their own paths in life. In Beowulf‚ he experiences the ups of war‚ and the Wanderer experiences the downs. The theme of these two poems are closely related that it would make sense that the authors could have known each other’s stories and were writing them to have similar structure and purpose. The three major comparisons that I mostly captured from both poems are exile‚ abandoned mead-halls‚ and the ending

The driving force of evil in Romeo and Juliet is hidden‚ the undercurrent of unreasonable hate between two groups. I find the violence in Romeo and Juliet to be more pointless than in Othello‚ at least Iago had a reason. But perhaps that is the point‚ Romeo and Juliet is about the undeveloped relationship: an undeveloped rivalry‚ undeveloped love‚
