Iliad/Troy Comparison

Some differences between the epic The Iliad and the movie Troy would be the use of the gods. In the epic The Iliad, it depends on the gods and the gods controlled everything unlike in the movie Troy where some of the gods are mentioned but they do not control everything and the movie is not based around the gods. Also in the Iliad Homer describes the pain the people went through unlike in the movie where they played mournful music. The movie also went beyond the epic in events that happened like the Trojan horse. Some similarities are that both the movie and the epic contained was the description of the armor the Trojans and Greeks wore. Also both the epic and the movie expressed how Achilles could not control his anger.

Strategy and Success Blog

1) What i like best about class so far would be the atmosphere. I love how in class we always laugh and how everyone gets along.
2) My greatest disappointment so far would be some of the grades on my quizes. This has shown me that i need to prepare better.
3) When i study for tests i usually make notecards. I cant study in a loud environment so i usually study in my room with the door close. After i have been studying for a while i stop and quiz myself putting the notecards i know to one side and the notecards i dont know so well to the other side. This way i know what notecards i have to study more. I usually study straight for about 30 to 45 minutes then take a break and let my mind rest then start studying again. When we have Quizes on a story we read i make sure that i read the story slowly and make sure that i understood everything that was happening. I also pay close attention to the bold and italicized words.
4) I am a aural learner. I cannot remember things by just looking at them. It helps me best when people test me verbaly so i can hear and understand what i got wrong rather then just looking at it.

Because of this she is viewed as the maid of the house and has clean up after everyone else. Cinderella is fortunate enough to have a fairy god mother who helps her in times of need.

The archetype present in this movie would be the maiden. Cinderella is full of dreams and is looking for her prince charming.Cinderella is the maiden and is looking for someone to save her.The prince at the ball could be looked at as her hero. He saves her from her evil step mother and step sisters.

What I find unique and love about this movie is it is a fairytail. There is the princess and the prince who always finds a way to sweep the princess off her feet.What i love about Cinderella so much is the fact that she never stops dreaming. Even though she lives a rough life she finds a way to be happy.
