My Favorite Film : Clash Of The Titans

The Odyssey has many stylistic choices that change the story in many different ways to improve it and make the reader better understand the text they are reading.

This book unites characters and events from the past, present, and future to help Odysseus see why he needs to get home quickly. Odysseus's mother is the most important character from the past with whom Odysseus reunites. Odysseus did not know his mother died while he was away and found out while he was looking for Teiresias. Odysseus states, "now came the soul of Antikleia, dead, my mother…seeing this ghost I grieved" (187). She asks him how he came to Hades, a place that is "no sight for living eyes" (190). Odysseus tells her he came to see Teiresias, then asks her about the rest of his family. She tells him Penelope is grieving for him and his son has taken over his kingdom. Odysseus then asks, "what was the bane that pinned you down in Death?" (190). She answers that she died of a broken heart, longing for her son to return. This conversation is a direct link to Odysseus's past.

King Acrisius was king of Argos. He had an amazingly beautiful daughter, but he wished deeply for a son, so he prayed to the gods for them to give him a son. Apollo,the god of culture and prophecy, told him that he will never have a son in all his days and that the son of his daughter will slay him. Acrisius thinks of just killing his daughter,Danae, to prevent his prophecy, but fears of the punishment he will receive from the gods for this act, so he instead locks his daughter in an entirely bronze house and guards it closely. What he did not expect is for the king of the gods Zeus to come directly to his daughter and impregnate her. From this comes a son named Perseus. When Acrisius learns of his daughter's offspring, he puts both Perseus and Danae in a trunk and sets it off into the ocean. By luck or by the will of Zeus Perseus and Danae wash up onto a small island, where a kind hearted fisherman named Dictys takes in the two strangers. They live contently with Dictys until Dictys' brother, King Polydectes, fell in love with Danae. He decides to construe a plot to get rid of her son,Perseus, so that he can have her. The plan he comes is to convince Perseus to go and slay the woman-beast Medusa. He thinks this feat impossible by a mortal man, because any man who lays eyes upon her turns to stone. To aid him on his quest Hermes gives him a sword stronger than that of Medusa's scale. He also told him he would need equipment from the nymphs of the north, who's location was unknown by all except the Gray Women who are ray and live in gray.The three sisters share one eye between them all and

The fourth stage is performing; this stage focuses on completing the task. Coach Boone always told the team it is about being proud of what you have accomplished, regardless of the outcome. This is where a change in the team is really being noticed. Another example in the movie of this stage is when the team creates a new pre-game ritual which helps create a close attachment to team members. This is a warm-up before

The amazing epic poem by Homer entitled “The Odyssey” shares many similarities and many differences as well with the Hallmark movie of the same name. The epic poem is about the hero Odysseus who has spent twenty long years filled with toil and loss, through war and sea desperate to return to his home of Ithaca. Odysseus has angered some of the gods and goddesses of a Greek Mythology with his destruction of the mighty city of Troy. Odysseus is represented in the poem and the movie, but there are several differences between the two in the events he encountered. There are also numerous similarities

The Odyssey is a story made up of stories. Because there is very little action that happens in the present, the presence of storytelling within the Odyssey is something that characterizes it and makes it unique. The spreading of stories serve to form legends and myths that can have the effect of shaping a culture. In addition, since stories were such an important aspect of entertainment in Greek culture, stories also shape the audience, either by entertaining them or creating feelings of sympathy in them. The function of storytelling in the Odyssey, is to evoke emotions and leave powerful, lasting impressions on the audience. However, the stories that are told

Imagine a life without television, no internet, no cell phones, no radio, no movies, and no video games. This was the life during the Odyssey. The storytelling in the Odyssey gave Greek society a way of entertainment. Men, woman, and children would listen to these stories with attentiveness and would then share them throughout their lives. These stories were told in many ways such as in poems, songs, and tales. If not for storytelling in the Odyssey, the story of Odysseus would be a lot shorter, as well as insignificant to Greek society. The storytelling in the Odyssey knitted the life of Odysseus together, and gave many moral lessons and

Remember the Titans is a classic movie about one African American-populated high school and one Caucasian-populated high school who are forced to integrate into one school/football team in a suburban town in Virginia in 1971. Neither races are obliging to this rash decision being enforced but there was nothing to be done about it. The 70’s were a very difficult time to be a minority especially for African Americans, which is what led to many problems and struggles not only throughout the school, but specifically within the football team. During this time of hatred and segregation, one football team at T.C. Williams High School goes through the struggle of working together with teammates belonging to a different race. Through all of the hardships taken place in the film, the team gradually learns to not define one another because of skin color.

My favorite movie is ‘Remember the Titans’ it was composed by Trevor Rabin. This historical film was created in 2000 in September. As this movie is a symbolic showing of race and the movement of integration of whites and african-americans into public schools. With such a difficult topic to cover for these producers and others, the music was crucial to what the viewer needed to see to understand the situation and setting of the movie. Although this movie was about the racial inequalities of the school system, this movie was an inspirational movie, about how people that integrate at first hate one another, but soon are brought together for the passion that all people had in common, the love for football. During the movie my favorite part was when the team is at training camp, Coach Boone, the new african american coach, took all his boys to a remote area to have camp, to get away from all the hate in their town. So, once they are there they have early morning, intense practices and then of course required bonding time with a person of the other race. But my favorite part of the movie was when they were in the middle of practice, and they run through a play with music setting in the background, then after the african american running back Petey gets hit he falls and with him he loses the football. Watching this part of the movie and listening to what Coach Boone said to him and treated him like he would treat anyone else is a crucial part in this movie, because Boone put all

Hades is the god of the underworld, he starts a war with the Titans to fought Zeus. Hades causes a lot of war with Zeus and the other gods and goddess. On the 18th year of Hercules birthday the stars match up in a line, and Hades will get the titans out of the underground where Zeus locked them up. It was a godly kingdom, it was never ugly nor boring.

The story begins when Odysseus and Neoptolemus are on a beach on the island of Lemnos. They are looking for Philoctetes. Odysseus tells Neoptolemus to find Philoctetes, and tell him that he is the son of Achilles. Odysseus wants him to become friendly with Philoctetes and gain his trust. When he has accomplished

Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey follows Odysseus on his long journey home. The Epic also includes the stories of Odysseus’ family left behind: the travels of his son, Telemachus, and how plenty, of what we would now call “home wreckers”, suitors pressured his wife, Penelope, into marrying one of them. The characters are beautifully crafted and the story is truly epic. All the elements presented can bring in any reader from any century, the Cyclops, the Gods, the trickery of Penelope, and the disguises of Odysseus, are all legendary literary hooks . There are many things to learn—about writing, about the world around us, the world ahead of us, and the past behind us—from The Odyssey. (26) It is undeniably evident that this ancient text has

The story of "Perseus and the Quest for Medusa's Head", begins with a man named Perseus who lives in Greece. Perseus and his mother Danae live on the island of Seriphus with a fisherman named Diktys. Polydectes is not only the king of the island, he is Diktys brother, and is in love with Danae and wants to marry her. To get Perseus out of the way, he hatches a plan. He gathers his friends, including Perseus and asks for gifts to give to win the hand of Danae.

Within an instant, the god of thunder summons all his strength to produce winds that cause the building to shake. Lightning flashes across the sky; the energy weaves through the ocean, and leaves behind streaks. Disoriented, Hades and Poseidon, are forcefully grabbed by their necks and thrown back to Earth. Zeus, drifts down, and opens his mouth. Yet, there is no sound coming out of him. All of a sudden, Zeus, the mighty and powerful, Zeus, doesn’t seem so powerful anymore. Eventually he whispers, “I know I have been unfaithful, but this child you speak of must be killed. Hera shouldn’t have heard of this in the first place. She’s not very fond of me, anyways. Why must you two make a ruckus?” Poseidon, offended, shoots back with, “It wasn’t us who betrayed our wives, we can’t keep cleaning up your messes. Who is this child anyways? You…” Zeus cuts Poseidon off, “No, you two don’t understand. She isn’t half god. She’s simply a human… I created her for the mortals,”. “I don’t understand--why must she be killed?” Hades asks. Zeus looks up with his eyes that seem to be crumbling into billions of pieces, and softly speaks, “The child is going to be the end of the world. The mortals have stepped

Perseus was ocean's surface mid life dehydrate and clutched, every grain in his molted sandals raising parches and distressed by th serpents of his part life"(67). Perseus aware in what he guesses is heaven at the beginning of the story and seems alabaster chamber in a fine spiral, reminding "Dunyazadiad". The beginning stage of his life is imitated by means of Barth's comic errors, modern gorgon, and sexual moment. Perseus introduces to Athene as "Semisis" and the act in which Perseus takes the eye and tooth from the smelly Graeme is introduced as a rearranging burlesque repeated. Apart from a small complaint that the sculpture "petites his phallus" (74), Perseus distinguishes the scenes of his life as a masterpiece. Perseus also sights cycling pattern in the chapel picture, on his bed, and in Calyxa's stomach.
