After being lost at sea longing for home for ten years, Odysseus ends up in the alluring kingdom of Phaeacia. From Homer’s depiction of Phaeacia it seems to be a paradise; however, Odysseus is able to resist its temptations because of his persistent determination to see his homeland of Ithaca. One of the biggest temptations is sensually described by Homer: “Here luxuriant trees are always in their prime, pomegranates and pears, and apples glowing red, succulent figs and olives swelling sleek and dark. And the yield of all these trees will never flag or die, neither in winter nor in summer, a harvest all year round for the West Wind always breathing through will bring some fruits to the bud and others warm to ripeness”…
The short story 'Harrison Bergeron', composed by Kurt Vonnegurt Jr.and the novel 'The Giver' by Lois Lowry both offer a subject of constrained fairness, and how absurd and troublesome it is to oversee. In both writings, the goverment is controlling the residents in light of the fact that the consider it to be a perfect society. Both are stories that occur in universes that fake utopias they put on a show to be perfect, to have no flaws of any kind, however truth be told, they are only concealing that it is dramactically different; both stories express there is no such thing as an ideal world. The Giver end up in the same conditions. The communities people were hereditarily adjusted and medicated so that they all turned out to…

The Epic of Gilgamesh has very many similarities to the Old Testament in the Bible. Some of the characters, events, and story lines seem to have drawn a lot of influence from the Bible. Many times while reading this iconic epic the reader may relate to the stories they were told as a young child in Sunday school. These two have very different endings, lengths, and meanings but they have a lot of the similar stories. A few of the more popular stories this epic really relates to are Noah and the ark, the Ten Commandments, and Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.…
Undeniably, Noah and Utnapishtim tried to contribute in their own way to help restore the order, but did so differently through their actions, which revolved around their social differences. The last significant difference between the Bible and The Epic of Gilgamesh is the promises the god or the gods made afterward. In both literary works, they used a rainbow to symbolize their promises after their repentance and admission of guilt. In The Epic of Gilgamesh, the mother goddess blamed Enlil for the flood.…
The stories of Greek mythology have had many interpretations and many meanings throughout the years. There are also many similarities and differences between stories from the past; Just like in the plays Bacchae and Hippolytus. Both Aphrodite and Dionysus' motivation and behaviors in the plays Bacchae (Dionysus) and Hippolytus (Aphrodite) were similar, in that, they both wanted to restore honor to their names and they used the family to teach the one who disrespected them to show respect to a god/goddess. But on the other hand, the human perceptions of these gods were far different from each other. First off, the motivation for both gods is very similar, they both wanted to make sure they were well respected among the mortals and that the…

The two creation stories are very interesting in their plot. One is from a religion that has molded the world we now live in today and another from a long lost forgotten culture that only a few know about. Even though these cultures are hugely different they have uncanny similarities and very understandable differences which proves that humans are connected by nature. The first thing that comes to mind when reading these two stories is “What is with the fascination with trees.” It kind of makes sense in the fact that the people from the past and the present are fascinated by trees.…
The Sniper and Cranes have differences that give two opposite ideas of the story. The main focus of The Sniper targets the civil war and the repercussions that follow it, whereas Cranes focuses on the loyalty one has to family and friends. The Sniper expresses the toll the war has taken on the soldier and how it affects him by giving detail about the feelings and thoughts he has about the war. The author wants the reader to know that the sniper is dedicated to his duty and does not think twice about the decisions he has to make. In Cranes, the opposite occurs; Songsam goes out of his duty and gives Tokchae the chance to escape instead of taking him to be killed, as he volunteered to do in the first place.…
Eve and Pandora share the role of “The First Woman.” Likewise, they are both depicted as giving in to temptation, thus bringing suffering into the world. However, these two figures have stark contrasts between one another that reveal the views of their respective cultures’ towards women, god, and the world around them. I will begin by comparing major elements of both story. In Genesis, Eve is personally created by God, and born from Adam’s rib.…
