help relate these relevant issues to the African American community, Hurston placed the story of Exodus in the times of slavery. Adding in her own characters and filling in the gaps that were left in the original text, Hurston was able to create a version of Exodus that stayed true to the tale of Moses whilst giving a newfound voice to the African American community and a cry for civil rights that had so long been…

"A girl group of dance ensemble" reworks Ed's song in 2006 into a sassy rendition of the confused feeling of trying to get back with their lover. It seems in this sexier version of "Tainted Love" keeping the verses close to the same of Soft Cells lyrical version. The drawn-out melody of The Pussycat Dolls gives it a softer and a bit naughty tone through the song. As the female singers take turns describing their need for ending this "tainted love" also add an alternate…

enchantment, taking away the story line from the original tale. Leading children to believe that life is a fairytale that always ends with a happily ever after. Some deceiving fairytales are Snow White, Cinderella, and the Little Mermaid. In Disney's version of Snow White, the poison of the…

The Cultural Authenticity Debate Who is paying attention to children’s literature and the potential negative messages that it could send to multi-cultural children? The debate about cultural authenticity continues, does it matter and if it does, can we solve this diemma so that everyone is satisfied? There does not seem to be a clear-cut method and some say that it would be a crime against art if we did. Should we let educators decide what is appropriate? Should the parents of these…

service. I decide that I would go to the morning service on Sunday, February 15. The scared book used at this church was the Holy Bible. However, there are different versions of the Holy Bible. During the service, I noticed that the preacher kept making reference to the King James Version (KJV). He also made it clear that the King James Version was the only bible that should be used. The book was used in nearly all of the service. The service would start with music, then transition into the…

This version shifts his character to being heavily based on his brute strength and his fighting skills rather than his leadership skills in kingship. This story also differs from the original tale of young Arthur in the way that his characteristics are portrayed. In addition, the description in which Arthur pulls out the great Excalibur from an anvil and stone rather than merely a stone further emphasizes this point. This version shifts his character to being heavily…

The Two Fridas is an oil painting by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, painted in 1939. This large-scale work presents a double self-portrait of two versions of Frida that takes almost the entire canvas, posing seated on a wooden-bench together. One is wearing a discreet, elegant, white European-style Victorian dress while the other one is wearing a colorful, traditional Mexican dress- both representing the artist’s background. The first impression that depicts this art of work is the duality of a…

speech at the 1851 Akron Ohio Women’s Convention. Today, multiple versions of this speech exist because the original was never officially recorded. Each of these interpretations manipulate the wording and presentation differently to alter the overall effect of the speech. Two of these interpretations by Cicely Tyson and Maya Angelou have similar purposes but are very different in how they are presented. Cicely Tyson’s version was very dramatic and appealed to the pathos of the audience.…

own homes. While they weren’t exactly family-friendly, the inclusion of a moral tried to justify the tales’ violence—even if it was partially obscured by overkill. The version of Red Riding Hood we all know involves a big bad wolf eating a pensioner, eating her granddaughter and finally getting cut open by a woodsman. Older versions skip out the ‘cut open by a woodsman’…
