For the most part the History surrounding "Braveheart" is accurate‚ but there are several significant people and events which simply do not match up historically. After watching the movie and reviewing the history behind it‚ it becomes clear that Hollywood felt they needed to alter several things in order to make the film more entertaining to their viewers.

the World movie is more interesting than the book because the movie shows how the Martians landed on Earth from Mars. I also like how the Martians killed the people from the heat rays. In the movie‚ it showed the community working together to take down the Martians. My favorite part of the movie was when the soldiers were fighting off the Martians.

Moreover the first two theatrical presentations use human beings as the protagonists and thus the lesson of the movie is more readily comprehendible by somebody who may be in a similar situation while Babe uses animals to convey its message which has the possibility of losing its audience in its delivery. Another difference is that this Babe is the first movie of the three to really explore the notion of breaking boundaries. Sheep Dogs are playing with pigs and pigs are beginning to

Do you agree with the view that Mary Seacole‚ and not Florence Nightingale was the real ‘Angel of Mercy’ during the Crimean War I agree totally with the view that Mary Seacole was the real ‘Angel of Mercy’ although I can understand why there may be some evidence suggesting that Nightingale warranted the title. Sources 2C and 2O agree with the view that Nightingale was the ‘Angel of Mercy’ whereas Source V gives evidence that shows Seacole deserved to herald the title. The weight of evidence clearly
