Kamkwamba And Hercules Similarities

Hercules has adapted over time because the original myth of Hercules is so complicated that for people to comprehend it, the story of Hercules needed to be simplified. There many changes to help people understand the story of Hercules, but there are three main topics that have been changed to help the younger and older audiences. These three main topics that support that Hercules original story is too complicated is, the story of his immortality, the antagonist Hades, and the happily ever after. “Zero to Hero in no time flat,” or was it Hero to Zero in no time flat.

“ A huge boar was ravaging cattle on mount Erymanthus, and again Hercules was required to capture it alive. This pised him no problem… he chased the boar… until it collapsed… and then bound the beast in chains.” ( Creighton 99) He got a lot of experience from this labour because he had to chase down this wild boar, and then chain it up. So if any tragedies like this occur in the city, he would be able to take care of it. “ The third labour imposed on Hercules was the capture of a deer with golden antlers… Eurystheus wanted him to bring the animal back alive, Hercules brought it down by shooting an arrow neatly through the forelegs.” ( Creighton 98) To hit a shot like that, there is lots of experience necessary, so even before the 12 labours, Hercules had these amazing skills of running, shooting, hunting and so on. The best hero, most also have the most experience and skills, that is why Hercules is the greatest hero. Without these skills, and without this type of experience, you are not fit to be called the best hero. Hercules is the only one with these skills and experience, that is why is the best

Odysseus and Percy both similarly encountered the Lotus Eaters while on a quest and must rescue their friends, but they meet them in different places and save their friends differently. Both heroes had saved their friends from the Lotus, but their saving methods differed from the others. Many heroes have similarities but they are also different from one another even in their similarities.

Hercules is not the hero that greek mythology glorifies him to be. His ruthless acts to “purify” himself from killing his family, are nothing but him following commands of robbery, whether it be of a life or possession. He is less of a hero and more of a modern day hired ‘hitman’. Hercules agreed to completing the twelve tedious labours, however bad they might be. If he was ordered to steal something, he would. If he was told to kill something, he would do it. His actions are more alike the ones of an assassin or hitman rather than a selfless hero.

As men, both Jesus and Hercules performed miraculous or super-human feats of strength, will-power and self-discipline.

Authors, poets, and film directors have all used ancient stories to create new pieces of literature and film works for modern times. The animated Disney film Hercules (1997) and the myth of Hercules share the background of audience-driven narratives; however, Disney's aspiration to fill the theaters and earn money results in an unblemished narrative, while the original myth portrays an imperfect model to a flawed humanity.

American politician William Hall once stated: “We go on and on about our differences. But, you know, our differences are less important than our similarities. People have a lot in common with one another, whether they see that or not.” No matter where we go we can always see similarities in everything. We see similarities in how a musician writes his music, and what he writes about. Just as a musician, we see many similarities in how a writer writes his stories, and what he writes about. Washington Irving uses several similarities in his stories “The Devil and Tom Walker” and “Rip Van Winkle.”

Similarities and differences are present between nearly anything. For instance, two books can be compared in regards to their themes. Likewise, multiple people can be contrasted in regards to their personality. Similarities and differences can be good and bad and they can also help one to clearly see which of the subjects that are being compared are better than the other. Another example of where two subjects can be compared is in Macbeth and The Social Network, in regards to the characters. One may wonder how such different pieces of work could possibly be compared and contrasted, but after analyzing both pieces, it is clear that such similarities and differences exist. Characters

You ever wonder how a hero really came to be. Most people think of a hero as powerful. However all heroes have gone through tough situations. In which they have to think more clever. When they start to realize this they tend to become more wise. To help better understand this we compare two different heroes, and their journeys. To find out if they are more different, or more similar. My Grandmother is more similar to the hero in the Odyssey following their journeys.

There are similarities between every ideal and thought imaginable. There are also notable differences between the infintant ideals, tangible or not. The comparisons can seem unlikely however are still comparable and contrastable. Likewise Arthurian characters are closers than they seem at first look. King Arthur and Lord Bercilak compare and and contrast through their ways of hospitalities, principles, and religious views.

for me, these talents are represented through my top five strengths that were given to me from a test I took. Two of my signature strengths that I think best fit me and are the ones that will help me be successful are Competition and Analytical.
