Both of the political parties, Federalist and Republicans, have many different opinions on how to run America. One of the differences is how each party views the Constitution. The Federalists interpret the Constitution loosely, while the Republicans interpreted it strictly. The Republicans view the Constitution very strictly, unlike the Democrats. Jefferson and Madison, the founders of the Republicans, believed in a strict interpretation. They thought the idea of a national bank wasn’t…

Geoffrey Chaucer and Giovanni Boccaccio both use frame stories to get a message across through their writing. Money is the root of all evil is a theme seen in “The Pardoner’s Tale” by Chaucer, and people make great sacrifices for the ones they love is a theme in “Federigo’s Falcon” by Boccaccio. These two selections contrast with each other because the theme in “The Pardoner’s Tale” shows that people act selfishly out of greed while the theme of “Federigo’s Falcon” shows that people act…
The two statues I will compare are not too different in visual appearance, but they were made for completely different reasons. Once you get to know the reasons, they will look very different. The Statue of Gudea was created after the Akkadian Empire collapsed ca. 2090 BC, and King Gudea ruled Lagash, an independent city-state. It is prefaced with 'Seated' because there are many similar statues of the king. When Gudea assumed control, he made it his mission to rebuild temples honoring the gods.…
Over the course of cinematic history, there have been more Tarzan tales and reincarnations than anyone can count (you probably can, I guess – but who’d want to?). As a result, this is a character that has as much name recognition as any fictional personality ever conceived – right there with Superman, James Bond, and Robin Hood. However, just like James Bond and Superman, there have been some rather dreadful and forgettable inceptions of Tarzan – with the WB’s attempt at creating a television…
The Lamb and the Slaughter is written by Roald Dahl, and is about a woman whose husband is about to leave her. The husband was leaving her and the women was currently pregnant with a child. In addition, there was also a movie made about this text. However, even though they are made under the same idea the two pieces are very different. The Lamb to Slaughter’s film and text, are both very similar, however, the text is more about using irony and a direct tone while the movie is about getting…
There is one major difference and similarity in the movie version of A Knight’s Tale and the research I did about the Medieval era. Both versions present feudalism as a big aspect in the Medieval era. Both the movie version and research I’ve done show how the Nobles are better because they are born into an higher estate and have plenty of money unlike the peasants. Both the movie and the Medieval peasants show how they are treated poorly and how they cannot participate in many activities because…
In Sula, Toni Morrison uses emotive language and humor to relate the struggles that most African Americans suffered in the 1920s. It was common for African Americans to be poorly treated in those days, however, women additionally endured mistreatment from their husbands and society in general. The main characters are Nel and Sula. There are striking contrasts between the two families and their relationships. On the one hand, Nel’s family life is structured to a fault. Her mother Helene, is…
Two key events in European history were the collectivization that occurred in the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin and the final solution in Nazi occupied Europe, courtesy of Adolf Hitler. There were many similarities and differences between these two events. Although there is some variation between the two occurrences, both irrevocably changed Europe and the world. The process of collectivization was a policy of forced consolidation of peasant households into collective farms and it was…
Directed by F.W. Murnau, Nosferatu: a Symphony of Horror, and Sunrise: A song of two humans, are silent films from the 1920's. Throughout Sunrise, two young lovers rekindle their romance while Nosferatu is a horror adaptation of Bram Stoker’s, Dracula. While they differ in genre, both are similar in that they consist of a young couple who encounter a threatening situation. The element of space becomes an interesting aspect relevant to both films as it helps to foresee the events of what is to…
