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…
CHRISTIANITY Christianity is one of the largest religions in the world, with one-third of the world’s population as followers (Patridge 461). The teachings of Christianity date back to a small Jewish sect before spreading into the Roman Empire and eventually Asia and North Africa. 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. However, according to Patridge (462), this triggered off persecution of Christians as the…
Characterization in Ivan the Terrible Introduction Ivan the Terrible is a two-section chronicled epic movie about Ivan IV of Russia, composed and coordinated by the producer Sergei Eisenstein. It was dispatched by Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin, who respected and recognized himself with Ivan. The film begins with the early piece of Ivan’s rule, the period before the ruler became ‘horrendous’ and propelled a ruthless crusade to dispense with his genuine and saw foes among the honorability. We perceive how Ivan vows to make the nation extraordinary, battling both inner and outside adversaries, a plan which was significant after the past time of political unsteadiness. Solid and certain, the Tsar accomplishes his objectives.

The popular movie executive got the loftiest state prize for the initial segment. However, it was cruelly scrutinized by Stalin…

Analysis of a Classic Album: Bob Marley and the Wailers, Burnin (1973) The group known as the Wailers released the album “Burnin” in 1973 and featured Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer. The collection has songs like “Get Up, Stand Up,” “Hallelujah Time,” and “I Shot the Sheriff,” among others. The “Burnin” album starts with a rather unusual, ominous introduction, and continues to ring a notably darker than usual tone in a way that fits the songs lyrical matter. The band can accomplish this feat without taking the Wailers’ trademark groove out of the music, which is an idea that few groups have been able to blueprint equally. Even though the introduction is ominous, the music in this album picks on a beautiful ascend to create a beautiful piece.
