From altering the beautiful language of Euripides’s to a far more powerful Medea, the Jeffers version of Medea is vastly different than the Norton version. The Jeffers version, while beautifully written and adapted is far from as well-written as the Norton version of Medea. While both versions share the fact that the heroin is strong, intelligent, and courageous, the Norton version gives a different spin to the age old tragedy that is more accurate to the word of Euripides. The original essay…

realistic tale and the newer version of the tale, a movie produced by Disney in 1950, is more magical and happy. The two tales have similar story lines, but the Disney version has changed to fit a different audience compared to the original tale by the Grimm brothers. The first change we notice when comparing the two is the father in each tale. In the Grimm Brother’s edition, the father is present in the story and he remarries a year after his wife dies. In the Disney version,…

The author argues that the discrepancies of Abraham's story of journey to Mecca are not isolated to within the Abrahamic religions but rather; even within the realms of Islam do discrepancies about Abraham’s journey to Mecca appear. The author hypothesizes that the major reason for the discrepancies between Christians, Jews and Muslims in how the story of Abraham was narrated was because of the infiltration of indigenous practices that were common at the time, which bled into the way the story…

future by three spirits to convince him to stop. There are tons of different versions of this story, I´m going to compare the ending of three of them, the original, the animated movie version, and the marvel comic. First lets compare how all three of them are similar. The ending of all three versions is about the Mr. scrooge being sent into a graveyard by the of christmas future and shown his own grave. In both versions the spirit is completely and just points at the grave. Mr. Scrooge also says…

those two versions, except not the same people are there. In version two its only the duke and Cersario. In the play it is the duke, Cesario, Curio, and the clown. I think version two took out the clown and Curio so you could really pay attention to the duke and Cesarios lines. Version one is way different from the play. It still looks like it’s a a palace, like a courtyard. I don’t know why the director would choose to do this, but I like it because it is a quiet and nice setting. Version two,…

Of the two versions that we as a class read and listened to from Al Gore’s Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, I think that the audio version is more effective. I think that listening to the speech is more effective because you can see and hear their emotions, and that it only takes a short amount of time. These next few reasons and paragraphs should soon convince you to agree with me. With these reasons and pieces of evidence, this is why I think that the audio version of Al Gore’s speech is…

Olivier, and Doran’s versions. In the five movies the camera angle, actions of Hamlet, and the music do well at producing emotion in the viewer. But only one is superior to all. The Branagh version is the most effective in conveying the full meaning of the “To Be or Not to Be” soliloquy while comparing to the Gibson, Blockbuster, Olivier, and Doran’s version. The camera angle is very important in a film, it captures the perception of the movie and engages the viewer. The Branagh version does a…

have some differences. The Sumerian version and the Biblical version both had a similar theme when it comes to why the flood happened but, the details were slightly incompatible. I did not find Kramer’s interpretation of the fall from paradise and the deluge to be persuasive at all. It seem like the story of the Sumerian fall from paradise was made up based off the Biblical version. I feel like that also about the Sumerian version of the flood. The Babylonian version of “The Epic of Gilgamesh”…

One of the easiest ways to contrast short stories is by focusing in on the plot of the story and the characters. For example, in the two versions of “Sleeping Beauty” written by Giambattista Basile and Charles Perrault. While Giambattista Basile version is more of an adult version of “Sleeping Beauty”, Charles Perrault does write a more child friendly version of the story. Because Basile chose to be more graphic in his writing it can be easy to contrast the plot of the story and the characters.…

different features. The Zeffirelli version of the famous “to be or not to be” speech is the most effective because of the expression, action, and setting. Expression is essential for a play because it is the key element of characterization. The Olivier version of “to be or not to be” has a very unique, but poor way…
