I will begin by saying that as much as I appreciate hip-hop, rap, and r&b and listen to things influenced by these styles of music, my personal choice of music is not any of these three. That being said, I do not necessarily have a favorite artist in this style, but if I had to pick one person that I listen to on occasion, it would have to be Ed Sheeran, who has come across the music scene recently and has become a very popular figure in the music world today. As I look at the lyrics of his song “I See Fire,” I see a resemblance to Shakespeare’s work and his styles of writing.
There are also many differences in the two works, the most glaring being that Ed Sheeran’s work is put to modern musical instruments, as opposed to the medieval instruments or no instruments at all that Shakespeare’s work would have been put to. Ed’s music also alternates between a fusion of hip-hop and pop and a rap style that I’m quite sure that William Shakespeare didn’t have in his time. Ed Sheeran’s works are also quite varied in

On the other side you have William Shakespeare, who wears dressy, very nice clothing, has very well manicured facial hair, and a very high-class way of speaking, writing, and expressing himself through playwriting. There are many differences in the two men, but there are also many things in common. The universal appeal that I discussed earlier is a large factor, but they also both use higher level diction, which is uncommon in popular music today, but Ed Sheeran uses words in his songs and styles of wording that most of today’s artists don’t use or know how to use. The way that Ed Sheeran and William Shakespeare use their words to connect and resonate with the whole of humanity by using multiple levels of writing to connect to the whole of the human
There are three main characters in my story, their names being; Alephonsion Deng, Benson Deng, and Benjamin Ajak. These three boys, young as they were, are driven away from their own home with violence. This caused a significant change in how they viewed the world.“I couldn't understand why people were killing us. Did Alchol deserve to die? What wrong had we done to these people? Oh, Ma, why the killing?” The three boys also act so different compared to how we do, when around their own home they are expected to never cry, even this is put to the limits during some everyday tasks. One thing that is way different from the way we live is that, to be seen as a man, you must have your teeth pulled out… with a fish spear! “My gum felt like it was being torn apart by a sharp razor blade. My mouth filled with blood. Then the fish spear penetrated my teeth, splitting one in two and leaving half of it in the gum.” Also, they speak in quite a foreign way, they talk as if they fear that the other speaker will punish them if they are to mess up. This is what the characters are like in my book, hardened to the core like true people of this time, they were brave and willing to do whatever it takes to keep safe. Throughout the journey, the characters just get harder and harder, tougher and tougher. They will have more hard life experiences during the time period that this book covers than most people in America have in their entire life.
Shakespeare is one of the smartest and most influential authors in the world of literature. A lot of modern writers have based their literary products off of the brilliant works that Shakespeare created and brought to life. A specific example of this is the musical, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street by Stephen Sondheim and the 2007 Tim Burton film of the same name. These works have similar parallels with Shakespeare's Hamlet. Both of these works incorporate themes such as appearance vs. reality and revenge for past deeds. Additionally, the main characters in the pieces of literature have peculiarities that make them easy to compare and differentiate.
Suzanne Collins published Catching Fire in 2009. During that year the United States was at war with Iraq. The main cause of the war was the terrorist attack that occurred on September 11, 2001. There is however another reason for the war. George W. Bush wanted retribution for his father, George H. W. Bush. The President of Iraq, Saddam Hussein attempted to assassinate George H. W. Bush. Years later Bush’s son was elected as president and also held a personal vendetta against Hussein. The Iraq War was an armed conflict in Iraq that consisted of two parts. The first was an attack on Iraq on 20 March 2003 by an invasion force led by the United States. The second part was much longer, ending in 2011, in which rebellions came out to go up against the forces and the newly formed Iraqi government.
Shakespeare to create a lot of contrasts and moods, as and when he wants to.
Both use the words of Shakespeare but are strikingly distinct due to rendition of the words and the environment which provides a different feel.

Naomi Wolf, author of Fire with Fire, is one of the most well known women in modern feminism. In her commencement speech to Scripps College in 1992, she strongly expresses the unfair treatment of women in today’s society. By focusing on survival and weakness, Wolf relays ways to prevent and eliminate discrimination. She conveys her beliefs by expressing important facts about the way women were treated in past history and the way women should be treated today. Along with this, she expresses that women should stand their own ground and that it is their responsibility to determine their status in today’s society. She compares women and men to demonstrate how society differentiates between the two.

His style would have been different than others in those times and a lot more thought has gone into his writing than people listening would think. Usually, the audience take for granted the cleverness and thought of Shakespeare’s writing, however, now we have studied and gone into great detail about Shakespeare’s writing, we can appreciate it more than they did:
Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Macbeth and Akira Kurosawa’s Throne of Blood have many things in common and many differences. There are key plot points that are different and completely change the plot.

The setting itself is different introducing different kinds of soldiers to their stories.

Both plays involve greed but the characters are different. There are some characters that have the same qualities such as Hamlet and Malcolm who both killed for revenge. Macbeth and Hamlet are different in character even though they both killed. The tragedies are the same in that many people are killed but the reasons are very different. Macbeths need for power has caused him to lose control while Hamlets need for revenge causes him to lose his own life.
