Andelina Dreshaj is an Albanian female who lives in the United States and attends Mercy College. The Dominican and Albanian cultures share some similarities and some differences. Each country holds different morals and rules on higher or lower pedestal. For example, the way marriage is conducted, children are raised, the crimes that occur on a day-to-day basis. Although we share the same planet and have similar qualities such as our choice of meal and music, we often have plenty of differences,…

associated with magic and workmanship in fantasy Germanic literature. There was only one problem with his evidence, it didn’t move his ultimate claim forward; his claim being: “They are associated with magic. . . The fact they are celibate, carry the seven lamps, give the heroine good advice on the intent and persistence on the Lucifer-like queen, rescue her twins from death at the queen’s hands, point to the familiar mix of Germanic and Christian deposition. . . To see them as only “stunted…

orally or if it is, read to a child or if it is visually depicted in a movie. I would be lying if I said I never loved Disney’s version of Snow White. In the version that most people are familiar with ,which is the Disney version Snow White and the seven Dwarfs ,Snow White is the fairest of them all and the Evil Queen does not like that one bit. The main idea of the whole story revolves around the idea of beauty and jealously. The Grimm Brothers version of Snow White is quite similar to…

In fact, the band and fans conclude each game with “Hark the Sound,” linking arms and…

When we think of fairytales, what comes into mind is the Disney variant that many people recognized. What perhaps not many know is that many of Disney’s stories like the Little Mermaid or Frozen, have an origin; a foundation that can have different versions. For example, Han Christian Anderson wrote both the “Little Mermaid” and the “Snow Queen” (the basis of Frozen). Both of these stories are considered “the one true story” when in fact they have different origins like any other fairytale.…

In the book “Stardust” by Neil Gaiman, it is about Tristan Thorn’s journey to find the star and to bring it back to his love, Victoria Forester. The main message that the author has brought to the readers is to jump out of our comfort zone because it can enhance readers’ experiences and knowledge.

In my opinion, this theme is still relevant in…

Plot Structure of The Little Mermaid The Little Mermaid, a fairytale that is made by a Danish author named Hans Christian Andersen is different than the film that we all know and love, which is adapted by Disney.

So here is how the original version of The Little Mermaid goes. From the story, the Little Mermaid…
