Antigone and Oedipus The King‚ written by Sophocles‚ are deeply tragic plays with a dramatic ending. In both plays‚ fate arises the question: could have Creon‚ Oedipus‚ Antigone‚ and the rest of the family‚ prevented the misfortunes‚ which fell upon them? Or were their lives cursed upon by determination? With every event that took place‚ the possibility of another occurrence was either higher or lower. One can see that every action brings upon an ironic outcome. Also‚ the deadly flaw of hubris can

Birds" by Daphne du Maurier and The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock‚ all types of birds begin to attack the people for an unknown reason. The short story and the movie each have a different way of presenting the main idea and creating suspense. Throughout the film and short story‚ we see how the citizen’s cope with the bird attacks and what happens to the birds. In my opinion‚ I thought that the movie was more suspenseful then the short story for multiple reasons. One important reason that I thought the movie

recently become what movie fanatics are talking about and what viewers want to go see in the theaters. The reasoning behind this is because this genre has everything in it: horror‚ action‚ comedy and sometimes even romance. Viewers love that these films are all based out of the writer’s head: no plot‚ no rules‚ just their thoughts. When viewers go in the theater thinking this would never happen and they leave seeing how easy it would be for it to. I Am Legend (2007) and World War Z (2013) both use

Of Mice and Men - Comparison The name of this book/movie is ’Of Mice and Men’. The book was written by John Steinbeck‚ and the movie was directed by Gary Sinise (also stars as George).

George is the small‚ quick-witted one‚ and Lennie is the big‚ slow‚ dumb and extremely strong one. They have a dream‚ to have a little place all to themselves

The play Antigone was written by Sophocles in about 442 B.C. Now back in his day‚ there were kings‚ queens‚ and kingdoms. But things have changed since then and by the time the year got to be 1970‚ most of that was gone.

So that is probably the reason why the book and the movie are so different. In the book‚ there are little breaks from the story
