    For centuries, stories have been told amongst people all around the world. As time went on, people have searched for ways to help better memorize these stories. Stories were often written down by those who could write, which at the time was a small percent of people in the world. For those that couldn't write, they had no choice but to pass stories on verbally. These people soon realized that over time, stories are not always told properly, or are purposely changed. Stories told by song are not only kept the same, but they are also easier to remember. For example, during slavery, slaves depended on songs to lead them to freedom. One song was "Follow the Drinkin' Gourd." This song gave specific instructions on how to follow the stars, evade…

    Othello, a tragic play where a man named Othello meets his downfall when he allows another man to play mind games with him. Since this plays tragic ending is quite famous, a movie called "Othello" was created in 1995. The director of this play wanted to not only keep the movie as close to the play as possible, but also have a unique way of getting the plays message across to the audience. The difference we see between the play and the movie is how they interpreted the character Iago and Othello by the way the director uses movie tools and Othello's ethnicity.…

A narrative poem simply tells a story from the perspective of a narrator who does not reveal their personal thoughts or feelings.

    Franco Zeffirelli and Baz Luhrmann have both directed a film version of Romeo and Juliet very well, but a movie can not capture everything from the book.

For example, there could one movie could show the character's personality better than the other one or one movie can show the city of Verona better than the other movie did.

    Hannah Kent, in Burial Rites and Billie August in Les Miserables explore a variety of injustices as a product of prejudice by revealing the flaws of their Nineteenth Century social system. Although Kent released her novel in the 21st century, she thoroughly presents Nineteenth Century Iceland in all its formidable culture of prejudice and hardship to the same extent that August explores Nineteenth Century France in Les Miserables. Though both authors propose that one’s preconception of another rests in the position of their social class, August presents that as one’s social class changes, the prejudice changes towards them changes. This is different to Kent as she entices the readers to see the nature of men and their prejudice towards women…

    I see the Song of Songs as an allegory. This is supposed to be a poem that is between lovers. A man and a woman are expressing appreciation for each other’s bodies in frank detail. It is intended to celebrate human sexuality, love and human life itself. The lovers repeatedly describe parts of each other’s bodies over and over. They make comparisons to animals or features of landscape. The intention of this is to have the reader gain the power of physical desire while appreciating the harmony of the human body and love.…

    It’s been over forty years since Rocky Horror Picture Show was released in 1975, and its cultural impact has been significant. Despite poor reviews in the box office, it quickly gained a cult following, and thanks to consistent midnight showings at indie movie theaters, it is now the longest running theatrical release. A combination of parody of and tribute to the B movies of the early age of cinema, Rocky Horror is a rock musical draped in glitter, eye shadow, and fishnets. It tells the story of the ultra-square newly engaged couple Brad and Janet who, after getting a flat tire in the middle of a woods on a stormy night, go to a nearly castle to call for help. However, it does not go quite as planned, given that the owner of the castle is…
