A myth that probably dates from around 400 B.C. told of the twins Romulus and Remus, offspring of a Latin princess and the god Mars.

Remember the silly sayings kids would tease each other with in kindergarten? Sayings such as, "Girls go to Jupiter to get more stupider, boys go to mars to get more candy bars." Even during childhood we knew that men and women are different. But just what is it that makes each gender so different from one another? Think about it, males and females breath, eat, and reproduce.

From the dawning of modern human thought, humans have questioned the nature of life and its passing. One of the most fundamental questions to arise from this train of thought is the ideas of fate and duty. We humans desire to know whether the path of our lives is preordained and unalterable or if it is just a series of consequences from our past actions.

its fictional world as defined by writer/director George Lucas. In an interview, Lucas states that the original idea for Star Wars was modelled on the movies of his childhood, The “Flash Gordon movie serials and Edgar Rice Burroughs’ John Carter of Mars Series of books.” The mise-en-scène in Star Wars plays a vitally important role, so the question explored in this essay is how the use of mise-en-scène adds depth to the themes in Star Wars: Episode IV—A New Hope (1977), paying particular attention

Acacia▬an alluring snow-colored flower. To be more descriptive, it has a twig-thin grass stained stem in the middle, branching off into tiny breathtaking shell-macaroni-type petals. Why am I talking about this? Due to myself being caught in the middle of one of these petite marshmallow-colored petals, I fear I may never find my way to a forget-me-not flower. Believe me, I have attempted through various ways. My throbbing young painfully aching heart was unable to successfully break out of those
