    ...the two versions have significant differences and very few similarities, but this is understandable due to the two versions being tailored for very contrasting audiences. The Greek gods valued physical strength over love whereas modern society today values love over physical strength which has become an essential element of pop culture. Thus, this evolution serves as the foundation of why Disney had to make alterations to their plot, characters, peripheral details, and the notion of being a true hero. Without such alterations, younger audiences would not be able to relate to the story and therefore, not be able to gain a valuable lesson from it. In addition, these alterations allow for the movie to blend in smoothly with pop culture, where "love" is one of the most abundant aspects of entertainment.

  • Analysis of the Secret of the Wild Child: Documentary on Genie

    911 Words  | 2 Pages

    I watched the documentary “Secret of the Wild Child”, on a girl who was in isolation from birth to thirteen years old. Her name was Genie and is referred to as a feral child. This means she was without human contact from a young age, and has no experience of human care, social behavior, and, of the human language. Feral children are often known as being raised as animals and therefore imitating their behaviors. However, a child who is severely neglected is also considered a feral child. During the time she was discovered, around 1970, there was a major debate in the field of psychology. The famous nature verses nurture argument, meaning does genetics play a greater role in development or does one’s environment. In the case of Genie, the real focus was on her language development and deciphering if there was a critical age to learn a language.

I explored in deeper into this topic because the Egyptian culture had a lot of facets in their own culture that had disappeared for some time, only to be assimilated into modern day culture. Their culture was before their time. The period of the Egyptians was from 3500 - 525 B.C., where in 525 B.C. the Persians conquered the Egyptians (more on that later).

  • Comparison Of Osiris And The Lion King

    In ancient times, mythology was used as a way of explanation. It may have explained a natural phenomenon, religious truth, it could have been told for entertainment, or for structuralism in a society. Although we are unable to prove the truth behind the stories, they surely have been entertaining people for many years. As the stories may have been told in ritual at bedtime for children, or around a campfire for the town, they surely were memorable. In modern times we even see similarities in some modern western movies. Although some movies such as Hercules and Percy Jackson blatantly use the stories as their plot line, some authors and directors discretely put stories similar to mythology into their works. An example of this would be the similarities in The Myth of Osiris and Isis compared to The Lion King.
