Troy River Essay

It's interesting to see how your point of view is different from mine. I thought the opposite from you, in that Troy's dream, was denied because I viewed Baseball as his main dream; while rose's was deferred because she wanted a happy family and relationship. While I still stand with my point of view, yours is very insightful and enlightening. I never thought of viewing this in the aspect that maybe Troy's dream was fulfilled, because people can have more than one dream and baseball might not have been his main dream. I can see that troy did do as he wanted, while not exactly right, he went to look for his happiness. He got the promotion he wanted in his job and found happiness with another woman. On the other hand, rose did not go out to

In The Artificial River, Carol Sheriff describes how when the digging of the Erie Canal began on July 4, 1817, no one would have been able to predict that the canal would even be considered a paradox of progress. One of the major contradictions of progress was whether or not triumphing art over nature was even considered progress. People were not sure during the nineteenth century if changing the environment for industrialization was necessarily a good thing. Another contradiction to progress that resulted from the Erie Canal was when people started holding the state government responsible for all their financial misfortunes. An additional contradiction to progress that the Erie Canal displayed was how many of its workers were either

This site contains 4000 years of history and is immensely significant to us as it has provided us with an understanding into the early development of European civilisation. The site appears to have been inhabited from the Early Bronze Age to arounder—bout 1180 B.C. Troy was the name given to the Bronze Age City displayed in the Trojan War of ancient Greek. Other names for this site are ‘Hisarlik’, ‘Iliios', ‘Ilion’ and ‘Ilium’. The Trojan War is said to be what destroyed the city of Troy in 1180 B.C.

The staging of the Little Theater is a proscenium. The scenery, lighting, and costumes can provide a more realistic environment in a play.

There are many notable retellings of the story of Troy that focus on the perspectives of minor characters, rather than the central characters commonly known in the Iliad, the great warriors Achilles and Hector. The novel “Inside the Walls of Troy” by Clemence McLaren does just this by featuring the perspectives of Helen of Sparta, the beloved of Paris, and Cassandra of Troy, the daughter of King Priam for different periods of time before, throughout, and after the end of the war. The author, a modern era female writer, focuses the text’s aims and attentions to other modern females, albeit young adults. Due to this specific genre, McLaren’s retelling must fulfill certain expectations, such as relaying the story of Troy in an interesting enough manner as to hold the audience's attention and incorporating strong female protagonists the audience can not only relate to, but identify with. To do this, the original epic, the Iliad, wholly from the perspective of battle hardened men and a complex, tedious read must be transformed to simple language that resonates with young, female readers of a contemporary society, while still imparting the significant insights of the original text. McLaren’s retelling of the Iliad comprises of many events and character traits that allow the audience to engage with and appreciate the story of Troy in a way that the original version does not allow for, such as: Cassandra’s attribute as a prophetess and narrator, Helen’s childhood narrative, Polyxena’s retrieval of Hector’s body, and lastly, Helenus’s character as a male character who recognizes women to be the equals of men.

I think we should keep the history alive and well minds of American. The past history keeps us knowing on what we should and shouldn’t do. Because in time we have spent time and money on what helps us to make a better future so that our future self’s won’t do the same mistake as in the past. And if we did make a mistake and yesteryear did or didn’t make a mistake but we rely on contributions not just operate but to the museum/history. We should keep everything in the museum even if it just the little thing but i’m sure people are going to use it in the future and i also think that Troy should be in the museum in the hall of fame because he was in the negro baseball and they should how he lived after that because maybe some people might want

The person responsible for the backdrop of the play used only a limited number of objects but was successful in revealing the specific venue to the audience. The stairs, balcony, chandelier and the walls gave the viewer the impression that the scene was held in a palace. This was because these things are usually present in a palace making it automatic for us to think that the setting is in a palace. Whereas for the prison, which was just under the balcony of the palace, the bars, walls and even the darkness well depicted the picture of a prison. By just seeing those, one can already conclude that the place is a prison. These were also similar with the convent, whorehouses and outdoor setting. But despite these, the stage was still quite problematic because of the space. There were certain scenes when a lot of characters crowd up an area because that was only the part of the stage where the venue is

The reason for these differences due to looking at all of the similarities and differences are either to lower the cost or expenses or due to the director attempting to make the film more likable to increase the size of the audience appeal and therefore earning more revenue from the film. Economical issues mean that Wolfgang Petersen needs to have a three-day war instead of 10 years. If another main character says Paris were to die then the movie would be less likable therefore resulting in no Trojan royalty to have survived (apart from Briseis who wasn’t really Paris’s cousin in the epic). There is really no other reason the director has made these differences in the film Troy apart from money, and as all the major and small differences are observed it becomes clear that the film was molded and catered to appeal to a modern day audience with modern day expectations of films.
