In the video, April hides what her identity is with a mask. When she is wearing the mask, she is very shy and does not talk. But, she is inspired to be herself…

Creation Comparison Here we have a comparison between three stories about how the earth was made and how it all began. Even though there are extremely different they obliviously have some common ground. That of which I will be pointing out for you. The first is the Judeo Christian story in this one god creates the world and all its inhabitants along with the first two human beings who god gives the world to (I give you every seed bearing plant on the face of the earth).

Throughout literary works, heroes have been described various different ways of how they should be. Main descriptions of those heroes are great strength and courage. The heroes in Greek mythology have been described this way and it makes for enchanting stories, but the heroes all lacked important virtues that could have made them greater.

Many characters that were not in history show up in the Hercules movie. Some of Hercules’ most heroic deeds were not included in the movie.
