Erik Erikson was born on June 15, 1902 in Frankfurt, Germany. According to his obituary that appeared in The New York Times, his parents were separated before he was born due to the fact that he was the result of an affair. He never met his birth father. His mother was young when she had him and raised him all by herself. She eventually married physician Dr. Theodor Homberger. For many years Erikson had no idea that Dr. Homberger was not his actual father. When the truth did come out, Erikson was left with confusion about who he really was as an individual. This is what led to his interest in how one’s identity is formed. This interest continued to grow throughout his school experience. He would often get teased at his temple school for not being like the others in terms of ancestry, and because he was tall, blonde, and blue-eyed. He was also rejected in grammar school due to his Jewish background. Those negative experiences motivated him even more to figure out how exactly one forms their identity and continued to influence his work the rest of his life (Cherry, 2014).

The historical, cultural, and social setting of both the original fairytale and the Disney adaption of The Little Mermaid are incredibly important when analyzing the differences between the two.

In both Hans Christian Andersons “The Little Mermaid,” and Disney’s version of the story, the main character— a young and beautiful mermaid— waits anxiously for her fifteenth birthday to venture from her father’s underwater castle to the world above the water. As the story carries on the mermaids priorities change; her modest and selfless nature is revealed towards the end in Andersen’s version. However, Disney’s version encompasses a rather shallow ending and plot throughout. The theme found in comparing the two versions reveal that Andersen’s substance trumps Disney’s entertainment factor in fairy tales.

The Vikings The Vikings era started from the late 8th century to the late 11th century. Some people thought of Vikings as mean and ruthless pirates, but that is not the whole story. In fact they were some which were poets, lawmakers and great artists. Vikings were great warriors who did not kill for sport or burn and pillage without a motive. They made great changes in the land they conquered.
Copenhagen is a very good book. The story line draws you in and the play format makes it even more of a quick read. Not far into it, you will find yourself tied up in trying to unravel the mystery of just what went down that night that Heisenberg and Bohr took a walk. The whole book is a mosaic of all the components of what makes a story great. Of course without Margarethe none of this would be possible.
“A little nonsense now and then, is cherished by the wisest men”- Roald Dahl.The most influential and most helpful people are the ones that help the world by giving people a reason to wake up everyday and to motivate us. These people are authors. They write passages that can tell us a story, or ones that can teach us a lesson. They speak words of wisdom that drive people to continue to do what they do. Roald Dahl was an extremely influential and moving author. He told many stories, short and long, that people took into consideration in different ways. From his long life story like in the novel, Boy, to how he grew up, and his long list of achievements, he has a wide variety of work to be proud of. Roald Dahl used his life experiences and his thoughts and applied it to his work, making him one of the greatest authors ever.
“The Little Mermaid” was originally a fairy tale written in 1837 by Hans Christian Andersen that has since inspired several movies adaptations, once of which being “The Little Mermaid” produced by Disney in 1989. Both the movie and book portray a young mermaid that face the tribulations that comes with growing up and her struggle to obtain what she wants most in life, however the mermaid’s ultimate fate and personality is evidently disparate within these two versions.
Hans Christian Andersen, født inn i en fattig familie, vokste opp konstant mobbet av andre på grunn av sin høye kroppsstruktur. I en ung alder flyttet han til København fra Odense for å starte en karriere som en skuespiller. Gjennom denne karrieren møtte han mange utfordringer som førte til at han ble avvist av teateret, akkurat som den stygge andungen ble avvist fra gruppen av ender på grunn av utseendet hans. Det er tydelig at mange hendelser og utfordringer forfatteren skapte for den lille andungen reflekterte disse tider med motgang i sitt eget liv.
