never the answer and killing is his last resort. He also has somewhat of a princess for himself, Lois Lane. But sometimes Superman has to lend her a helping hand too. Superman has also experienced a major downfall. This happens when Lex Luthor ties Kryptonite, Superman’s greatest weakness, to Superman’s neck and tosses him in the water. In the movie, you are now thinking that this is the end for Superman, but he comes back. All of these traits add to the ultimate decision that Superman is the…

Well, Bebop still lives through many rock bands today. There are many bands out there that like to play at very fast tempos which are hard to dance to. For example Kryptonite by Three Doors down runs with a 198 BPM (beats per minute), and that is pretty fast to dance to! Today we use these fast paced songs to work out, for they get us moving in a faster pace than dancing. Bebop is also very famous into crontributing…

superhuman strength and also battles his Grendel which in Gilgamesh it is his mortality and the fear of death. Like Gilgamesh, Beowulf lets his pride get the better of him and pays extremely for it. Is like I always say every super hero has their kryptonite, and gold, treasure, and pride is Beowulf’s downfall and it will soon consume him and cost him dearly. Also, “The Odyssey” shares a parallel story line similar to Beowulf. Like Beowulf battle against Grendel and his mother Odysseus battle…

Thanksgiving is one of my most treasured holidays. While there are some constants in the way thanksgiving is observed by Americans, it can mean different things to different people. In my family, Thanksgiving is a day to gather with those we love, to join together in a huge feast, give thanks for all that we have been blessed with throughout the year, watch football, and listen to the men talk about the big buck that got away during their morning hunt. My mother makes the turkey, the…

The position of Antigone has been chosen not because it is easy to defend, but because it is the right thing to do. There was not one adequate reason to defend Creon; no one should defend a coward like Creon. Yes, he is a coward because he feared what his contemporaries would think if he was proven wrong by a female. Thus he continued being an ignorant and walked the path of eventual dismay and ruin. The position of Antigone will be defended on premises as such as fundamental human rights,…

Grant Morrison once said, “Superman is us, in our dreams. He lives our lives but on an epic canvas”. In light of the Golden Age, Superman was an iconic hero with unlimited abilities that could solve real life issues. He embodied the superhero archetype, fighting crime for the greater good of society, saving the damsel in distress and wielding boundless power. With the launch of Superman in 1938, Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster catalyzed what is today known as, the Golden Age. In All Star Superman…

In this paper, I propose that contemporary action movies portray the negative stereotype that women are not as important as the men in the world. In order to prove this point, I will examine the movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. I will do so by examining this movie visually, through the types of clothing the character wear, the type of superpower the woman has, the amount of screen time for women, and through the camera angles shown throughout the movie. I will also examine this movie…

Faulkner’s theme. In this short story the main character, Emily Grierson, has a plethora of reasons for being anti-social. The judging ways of the small town of Jefferson, helps fuel the disassociation between Miss Emily and the town. Miss Emily’s kryptonite is time, but the post-civil era was a time of change for everyone. Isolation and pity is ultimately the major themes in Faulkner’s short story “A Rose for Emily.” With the setting in “A Rose for Emily” being set back to the early 1900s…

incredibly powerful when he was resurrected on the third day a When saw that he had been resurrected and later ascended into heaven having everlasting life in New Living Translation, Luke Ch. 24. Superman relates to Jesus because he was slaughtered by kryptonite from Lex Luthor, but when he was resurrected he did not become as powerful as Jesus, but he did improve his ability all around allowing him to do more than could not do…

fallen into the abyss. It was also beautifully dangerous with dark, sharp rocks hovering over foreign waters. Fear entered my heart once more, but only for a mere second before my father said the words, “you won’t do it.” Those four words were my kryptonite. Anytime I heard them, I would allow myself to do anything and everything. All because of my reluctance to…
