...had similarities and differences. Although written in different time periods, they compare and contrast nicely. When Similarities come into play, they have many clichés. The Differences mostly focus on the point of view of the two characters. Most of the similarities are the way they both acted at the beginning of the stories. The differences start coming into play near the middle of the stories when you start to see the character developments on Macbeth. There is no doubt that there are many similarities when you put Beowulf and Macbeth together. To begin with, they were both placed on the eastern side of the world. While Beowulf was in Denmark, Macbeth was set in Scotland. Another similarity the two shared is, they are both warriors and leaders. There are kings on both sides of the stories, and although not both of them got to be kings for long, they both died in the hands of someone who had dignity and seeking protection for the things they loved. Some might take the other approach, and talk about why the main characters are more...

...Alexus Fuller CRN: 21556 English 1101 March 6, 2016 Women Then and Now “Lucy I’m home,” the famous saying from the famous 1950s sitcom, “I Love Lucy” fully distinguished a vast difference between women in sitcoms then and now. Women in the 1950s held on to the traditional, stereotypical housewife title, one who only tended to their husband children and household duties. Women in contemporary sitcoms, however, did not hold on to those traditional values that were viewed in the 1950s. For example Being Mary Jane is about a hard working single black women going through everyday life, without those traditional values. Status, parenting, and conservativeness are the foremost leading differences from women in the 1950s and women in contemporary sitcoms. Status is the position somebody holds in society. Women in the 1950s held a lower more respectable status than women in today’s sitcoms. For example, Lucy was very respectful of her husband, and his wishes. Women then did not typically talk back, became physical, or dressed inappropriately. Women in today’s sitcoms, however, were the exact opposites. In today’s sitcoms, women were drug addicts, exotic dancers or workaholics. Women also tend to be very emotionally abusive to their families. For example, a powerful African-American woman on Mary Jane in chastised her sister about having two kids and having another. Women in the 1950s sitcom were typically stay-at- home moms who did not work. Their parenting skills differed from...

... Business practices are an essential part of a country’s culture. In addition, the business practices in different countries are quite different. China and America are both big countries of the world, and they still have differences in business practices. In this essay I will compare business practices between China and the USA to find the point of the same and difference. First of all, in terms of interviewing, there are some difference and similarities between China and America. It is the same that during the interview, the interviewees need to dress up and be well-mannered, and they have to answer the questions asked by one or more than one interviewers. The difference is that, in the USA, the interviewers also hope the interviewees will ask questions, not just give answers, to ask some questions about the company, the system or something else. The interviewers want to see the enthusiasm of the interviewees and how much are they interested in the company through the questions. But in China, most of the interviewers do not like interviewees asking questions because they think this behavior is not respectful. They just need the interviewees to answer questions, but do not pay much attention to what the interviewees ask. Secondly, there are differences in management styles. The Chinese are much stricter, more conservative and efficient than Americans. Americans are more humorous, free and open. Different characteristics determine different management styles. The Chinese...

...different yet have very many similarities. In the next following paragraphs, I will be discussing the observations I have made from the story “The Old Man Isn’t There Anymore”, 1- Kellie Schmitt’s purpose in writing this travel narrative was to show the difference of what it was like to live in China compared to living in America. One difference is the living conditions. In China, most of the people live under one roof and the people that live with each other don’t know much about one another. However, they are comfortable around each other to the point that they walk around in pajamas, a t-shirt, or just shoes and underwear. In America people, do not see that very often and sometimes would call the cops; because, it is public nudity to just wear shoes and underwear. Also, there is multiple differences between what is done at and for funerals. Such as wearing a black swatch of cloth on the sleeve of their shirts to represent the relationship to that of the one who is deceased. Another difference that I read in the story was the color of the flowers that was given to the...

...3. The similarities in both Figures 1-3 and 1-4 is that they are both set in a circular motion and have the same sections (Planning, Analysis, Design, Implementation, and Maintenance). The difference is that Figure 1-3 is in a constant circle going through the different processes in an everlasting motion and Figure 1-4 is in a spiral motion until it ends which would represent the end of the project. 5. Figures 1-3 and 1-12 are similar as they are both takes on the SDLC. The difference is that Figure 1-3 has 5 sections that are in a circular motion. Figure 1-12 only has 4 sections and the process repeats on User Design and Construction. Having the repeats on only 2 different sections as opposed to all 5 sections would allow for a faster project completion. 6. Figure 1-9 has the same problems as the traditional waterfall SDLC as it is the traditional waterfall SDLC with the Design section split into 2 sections, it is still only moving downward and not able to revisit any of the previous sections. Converting Figure 1-9 into a circle would fix this problem as with Figure 1-3 it will allow for revisiting the different sections if there are issues with the project. 7. OOAD differs from traditional methods as it combines data and processes into a single entity called an object. Thus allowing for more reusability with the objects. RUP is not considered a cycle as it goes through its phases and is finished. If it would repeat some of the phases it could be considered a cycle...

...passed the setting Sun”, where, obviously, the first image means young ages and the second one is about the old ones. This metaphor is widely used in folk texts and in both Russian and Ukrainian languages there are correspondences e. g. на закате своих дней. The pattern purposes are destinations suits this poem because the person dies but this process is described as moving to the other place. The image of the HOUSE is important for the poem. It symbolizes a coffin, or the final destination, or the end of the journey. This complex image renders the beliefs that the dead live in their world under the ground, because only alive people need a place to live. It is interesting that in this poem Death is addressed like “he”. It reveals the difference between American and Ukrainian concepts: for us death is a woman and for them it is a man (or for this particular literary text). One of the possible interpretations is that men tend to destroy everything. Here it is not applicable, because there was the word kindly. According to this poem, death is not the right thing to de afraid of, it is a part of the life cycle and it comes naturally. That is why it is so strongly connected with the ground as the part of nature. There is not much colour in this poem, but due to the images, the brown one...

...Cuneiform and modern typing on a computer has similarities and differences. Both forms of writing revolutionized the society. For Mesopotamia, cuneiform made a big difference for them because they can record important events and important people in Mesopotamia. In modern time, typing was very important because if you make a mistake, you just have to click a button. And if you want to add something in the middle, instead of erasing you can just add it in. Out of the two, typing is easier. It is easier because you don’t need clay and it isn’t messy. If you make a mistake you can erase it easily. When the clay is dry and you made a mistake you have to start over. There are also differences between typing and cuneiform. For cuneiform it is longer to right and it is by hand. You need clay tablets. There is a stylus and symbols instead of letters. It is harder to correct and needs a lot of training. Cuneiform is wedge shaped and the tablet is sun dried on dried in a kiln. On the computer, you push buttons to get letters. It is a faster way to write. To print, you use ink and typing uses a keyboard. Although typing is better, it is also more expensive. You also use paper instead of clay to print. Typing uses electricity and you need little training. It is also easy to correct and faster send to people. Even though it is hard to write in cuneiform by looking for every letter it is fun doing it in on clay. Scribes in the ancient times must have had a lot of fun working with clay. I know...

...interesting to see just how some people can be the same and yet so different. They might have the same taste in music, or in clothes. People often misunderstand why some friends hang out together. They might have many of the same qualities and yet be very different from each other. A few of the differences between countries, for example, are a good way to start. Lifestyles in one country are very different from another. In the journal article, “Health Lifestyles in the United States and Canada: Are We Really So Different? “, authors Krueger, Bhaloo, and Rosenau state that one major difference here in the U.S is the smoking age. The U.S smoking age is 18, while Canada’s smoking age is 12. Another lifestyle difference is what the U.S conducted a study where questions on binge drinking were asked every thirty days, whereas in Canada, the question was associated for every twelve. Here in the U.S, our mortality rate among HIV survivors is very high. In Canada, the mortality rate is lower due to the high number of teenagers. These are just a few examples of “friendly” countries with similar, yet huge lifestyle differences. But not all friendships fall into the same category of lifestyles. People tend to view others as having the same personalities because they can not see how two very different people can be friends. For example, in the book titled “Between Friends” by author Debbie Macomber, two very people...

...Seven Year’s War Luis A Bazan March 27, 2011 HIS/115 Jeff Hanford I am an American citizen here in North America. Living here is very different. There are many things going on here and in all the colonies. There are numerous issues going on. There is a lot of settlement taking place with many different people. There are not only issues between the people who are settling but there are also many issues and differences between the natives that were here when we started migrating and settling. Also there are issues and differences among the colonies themselves. As I have lived here and learned about what is going on, I have written a journal of the several happenings not only where I live but also throughout all colonies. I have kept some notes about the type of people here. I have also kept notes on the various issues between colonies, people and groups. I have observed the natives as well as the settlers and have seen several different things from hatred to friendliness and many steps in between. Although I hope to be able to learn a lot about this and other colonies, it will be very difficult as we are separated by distance and also the communication between the colonies is not very efficient and it takes a lot of time for news to travel from colony to colony. One of the things I have noticed more than anything is that this and other colonies have become and are continuing to become very diverse in more areas than one. First of course there are the natives which...

...these two completely different ways of life, you should know that living at home and living on your own have some similarities, and they also some differences that you have to think about before making a decision. Every young person should realize that living on your own is a big step towards becoming a responsible adult. When living at home, and living away from home you have certain responsibilities to do in both places. If your decision was to live at home with your parents, you have to help with household chores like cleaning the house, and your room, and you have to do it well, because if you don’t you will have face the consequences. For example, if you have to wash the dishes and you don’t do it, you will just have more and more dishes to wash on the following days. As well, if you decided to move away from home you will also have household chores because no one will be there to do them for you, so you have to do them. Another similarity is that no matter if you are living in your home or away from it, the place where you are living is special and you feel something unique when you are there; This could be because you spend a lot of time in that place such as when you sleep, and eat there. Despite these similarities, living at home and living away from it has some differences that you have to know. The first difference is the freedom that you would have, but you tend to have...

...Renaissance artist were inspired by the ancient classical world and it was reflected in their sculptures and paintings. While they painted and sculptured new work, it still reflected it’s very early beginnings. As Babcock stated in our textbook, it was inconceivable for a medieval painter to consider creating a masterpiece outside of their box of knowledge, if you will, because of the hierarchical worldview. As I read this week’s assigned chapters, I was intrigued by the vast differences of paintings that Babcock depicted in Chapter 18, yet, in comparison to those from the ancient classical world, they had striking similarities. When you compare the image of the Virgin Mary from the ancient classical world to the painting by Botticelli known as “The Birth of Venus” you can see the similarities. Among those are the shape of the women’s faces as well as the slight tilt of their heads. At first glance, they don’t look anything alike, but once you look a beyond the surface you are able to see how the art definitely reflected and was inspired by the classical themes. Interestingly enough, the position of their hands in both paintings are quite similar as well and in each painting, the positioning of their hands served a very practical purpose. In all honesty, I do not enjoy history at all. However, if I were to choose a period in history that “inspires” me, it would have to be the beginning of the Church as recorded in the book of Acts. I find it inspiring because it’s where...

Either way they suggest or dramatize the speaker’s emotions or state of mind. 6 Then some figures of speech, just one or two (you might say, for example, “Each poet employs the trope of paradox, but in different ways….” 7 Then the most important difference, perhaps closure. 8 Finally your conclusion. This is one possible structure, with 8 paragraphs. You might have a different order. You might combine related topics – speaker with imagery related to state of mind, or the similarities with minor differences in plot – and have fewer and longer paragraphs.

Your tutorial leaders might have different suggestion, or you might create a different argument and developing structure. Your thesis should probably focus on the most important difference and what it implies about the...

...I chose to discuss the three songs, “Bhimpalasi,” by Ravi Shankar, “Magonde,” the traditional music of Zimbabwe, and “Aililiu na Gamhna,” by Solas. Each of these songs differ greatly from one another and I found them interesting to listen to. Compared to “Western” music, I found these songs to be very different in terms of how they sounded to me. Although some may not find much difference, I perceived them to have little similarities. However, I did find a relation of the “Western” genres and the genres from other parts of the world. I noticed how different each of them sounded; yet they all convey a similar quality of uniqueness to where they originate. I feel like all of them represented their given cultures and that they all had meaning behind them. The song, “Bhimpalasi” was very similar to Ravi Shankar’s other excerpt we listened to called, “Raga Anandi Kalyan.” This song heavily portrayed the Middle Eastern part of the world. It contains solely instruments that are plucked, which makes it lack harmony, whereas “Western” music is often full of harmony. Western music also utilizes scales in a more common way to our ears, and this music uses scales in more of a melodic shape. “Magonde” is a traditional African song. This song is very full of rhythm, which is often appreciated by Africans who are more used to this type of music, versus Americans who may think it all just sounds the same. This particular song contained the traditional African drums, along with singing and...

...“I remembered a common saying at home, ‘A campaign is always made out to be worse than it was…’” (Walter 88). Jakob Walter was a German mason drafted into Napoleon’s army as a foot soldier. In his diary, found years after it was written in 1932, Walter gave a unique perspective of France’s efforts to expand its empire through three campaigns invading Russian territory. The account of Jakob Walter shows the invasion of Russia from a soldier’s mindset rather than an officer, which gives historians a different view point than many historical texts from that time. Walter continually expressed his indifference about the campaign and about his belief that the army was in many cases, leaderless. He came to realize that the saying from home was completely false—that he would never want his family to know about his true conditions because of his complete apathy towards the famine and decimation, his indifference about Napoleon’s goals, and the disgust for Napoleon as a leader. Throughout the diary, Walter mentions other men’s sufferings and how the hunger and cold caused men to act in demoralized ways. He said, “I could look with indifference at the people falling by the hundreds, although the impact upon the ice bashed their heads. I could look at their rising and falling again, their dull moaning and whining, and the wringing and clenching of their hands…. Nevertheless, I had no pity” (Walter 88). Walter mentions sick people being crushed to death in wagons because, “the impulse...
