The religion spread out from the Roman-occupied Palestine area into the entire Mediterranean region. The recognition of Jesus as the Messiah of the Jewish teachings resulted in the separation of Judaism from Christianity. This change is also is in line with the transformation from the Old Testament to the New Testament. This new order came with essential rituals, including Baptism, Communion, and Easter. Apart from being the largest religion, Christianity is also the most diverse due to the division of the early church into three different branches, i.e., Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant (Pluarism.org). There were three centers of the Christian church in the Eastern Mediterranean region with Jerusalem as the capital. The expansion continued to modern-day Turkey, Istanbul, and the south in Egypt.

Comparing the Wall and the Books, Before the Law and Dream of the Butterfly Though the above-selected texts were from different contexts and are different in genre, they have multiple shared similarities as far as the themes, styles, and characterization. Borges’ The Wall and the Books gets set in modern China, and it is more of a mythical story that explains how the Great Wall of China got constructed by the first emperor of China, Shi Huang. Out of the fear of death and the need to get rid of the past, the first emperor conquered eight kingdoms in China, got rid of the past canonical books, and even banished his mother (Borges, 1971). On the other hand, Kafka’s text Before the Law is set in a fictional location where a man faces barriers in access to the law (Kafka, 1971). The text remains subject to multiple interpretations as, in most cases, it depicts the life of every individual and the struggle they go through to achieve their goals. Again, Zhuang’s Dream of the Butterfly emanates from the dream of…
