Although both works are credited to Homer‚ The Iliad and The Odyssey provide two remarkably different views on the nature of the Olympian Gods‚ their relationship to humanity‚ and the general lot of mortals throughout their all too brief lives.

Cinderella Comparative paragraph Although both the 1989 movie adaptation of the fairy tale‚ Cinderella‚ and the Grimm Brothers’ text of Cinderella‚ tell a similar story‚ I prefer the excitement of the film because the pace of the movie is faster‚ the sense of humour adds obvious benefits‚ and the colours are very symbolic and vibrant.
