Ode

The concept of loyalty between kinsmen, kingdom and beloved in Antigone by Sophocles is seen throughout the play. When each character, Antigone, Ismene, Creon, Haemon and Eurydice's belief system got entangled, a feud broke out within the context of family, love and state. Thus it came to a tragic conclusion and left readers questioning whether what God had planned for them was morally or ethically correct. In Sophocles’s Antigone, the interplay of devotion among family, state and love causes a…

Human nature and politics are inseparable. Raw, overpowering, and mighty, human nature is the dynamic force that drives political discourse.

Soren Andersen from The Seattle Times agrees with my views on the song because he states that “The picture’s “We Know the Way” is an ode to exploration and self-discovery that has the hallmarks of an instant classic” (Andersen). They placed this song perfectly in the movie when Moana is truly trying to figure out if she wants to listen to her grandmother and break her father’s…

In Cassandra Clare’s novel series The Mortal Instruments and other related series, there are many references to other religions mythologies. The main question that is asked refers to the number of mythologies that she uses without the readers realizing it until her books are re-read or researched further.
