No two countries are similar. I witnessed this as soon as I exited the airplane and walked into the Indian airport. India and the United States are ten and a half hours apart from each other and are extremely different from each other. The climate, culture, and technology in India are very different from those in America. However, on my recent trip to India I realized that the two countries are similar in every day life and holidays that are sometimes overlooked because of the major differences.
When I walked into my grandparents’ house, one of the first things I did was locate where the computer and Wi-Fi router were. Even at first glance it was apparent that the technology in India is not as modern as the technology in the United States.

During my time in India I felt as if I lived in another dimension. The Indian culture is extremely different from the American culture. Despite the temperature reaching one hundred degrees Fahrenheit almost every day in India, there is a dress code implied by society for men to wear pants. I noticed this when I saw people take quick glances at me at the movie theater. I was not sure what I was doing to catch their attention and I had thought I was blending in with everyone else pretty well. It turned out that everyone else in the theater were wearing pants and I was the only one who was wearing shorts. In America, if the temperature reaches seventy degrees Fahrenheit, everybody starts to show off their legs by wearing shorts. But in India it is strange for a man to wear shorts and it is seen as loungewear that should not be worn in public. In another example, when I am walking around with my hands in my pockets it is not out of the ordinary in America. But, in India it would be strange, because other people do not see that as normal and I felt as if I were being judged when I did so. What is a normal thing to do in the US was an odd thing to do in
Vladek and Guido use their skills and intelligence to endure a genocide that killed over 6 million Jews and 11 million people in total. Although sadly Guido did not make it through the Holocaust, his wife Dora and Son Giosué survived, thanks to the help of Guido. Vladek survived by using his many talents in the prison camps whereas Guido survived by his cunning intelligence and positive attitude. In the Books Maus I and II by Art Spiegelman, the author uses his fathers story of survival to create a book that unleashes vivid imagery of Vladeks time in Auschwitz, in addition to how it has affected him since. In the movie Life Is Beautiful Directed by Roberto Benigni, Guido was an average Jewish man living in Italy. When his family got taken to a Natzi death camp he managed to keep his son Giosué hidden, while doing so he jeopardized his own life. Both of these works display two brave men withstanding the worst race extermination in history.
English Views In the seventeenth century, the English and many other Eastern countries came to the “new land” for a vast amount of reasons. Many of these foreigners came for religious freedom, some to seek fortune, and others were convicts being deported. However, for those who came across the sea, there was one thing they were not planning to have conflict with when they arrived. The natives, or as the English called them “savages”, which were a distinction on how some viewed these natives, had made this land their home long before settlers came exploring.
Why do directors choose to stay faithful to or depart from a text when they are producing a film? Many directors choose to either alter or maintain literary elements such as characters, plot, and resolution from a text. The presence or lack of these specific features affects the audience. For instance, in the story “The Monkey’s Paw”, a classic short horror story written by W.W. Jacobs, and its accompanying film, the similarities and differences in the characters, plot, and resolution have an effect on the readers and viewers.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is a tragic comedy by Tom Stoppard, which focuses on the adventures of two minor characters from Shakespeare’s famous play Hamlet. The Rover also known as The Banish'd Cavaliers, is a romantic or restoration comedy by Aphra Behn, about a rakish naval captain, who falls in love with a young woman, who plans on marrying him. Although both these plays are comedies, there are significant differences in the theme, style, setting, and the whole feel they give an audience.
In India and World Civilizations by D.P. Singhal, the theme is “the cross-fertilization of cultures and the resultig new development” (Embree 451). The author uses artifacts from Mohejodaro and Yucatan, theories of Parmenides, and the revenue system of Ptolemaic Egypt (Embree 451). Singhal discusses the Hellenistic world and the Roman Empire and how it influenced artistic creativity in India. Singhal rejects the idea of Hellenistic and Roman art having any influence on Indian art. Despite having easy access to Christian sources, there isn’t any evidence of India being influenced by Christian thought, according to Singhal.
Indian culture is not too diverse compared to the cultural diversity in Canada. In India, if you live in a certain region, to have a certain culture that you follow, like people from the state Punjab, are mostly Sikhs. In Canada however, everywhere you go you see so many people with different religions like Christian, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, Jewish, Catholic, and so on, you also even see so many churches and temples, where people go to depending on what their beliefs are. The culture is also similar because many of the belief that people have in India, are also scattered around Canada. Religions like Sikhism, Hinduism and C...

Some people think that if they could only change one aspect of their lives, it would be perfect. They do not realize that anything that is changed could come with unintended consequences. “The Monkey’s Paw” by W.W. Jacobs and “The Third Wish” by Joan Aiken both illustrate this theme. They demonstrate this by granting the main character three wishes, but with each wish that is granted, brings undesirable consequences. The main idea of this essay is to compare and contrast “The Monkey’s Paw” and “The Third Wish.” Although the “The Monkey’s Paw” and “The Third Wish” are both fantasies and have similar themes, they have different main characters, wishes, and resolutions.
The book and movie “The Landlady” by Roald Dahl is about a young man called Billy Weaver who is looking for a bed and breakfast to stay for the night. He comes across a low priced hotel with a peculiar landlady who knows how to make an eerie night for her customers. The book and movie have two key differences and one important similarity. The setting in both the book and movie are different, changing the mood. The resolution is different which gives the reader/viewer an opposing view. Billy’s choice in the beginning of the story and movie gives the same plot. If any of these ideas had been the same between the movie and book, or had been changed, there would be contrasting thoughts from the reader/viewer.
Alto saxophones and tenor saxophones are two of the most common and versatile members of the saxophone family. From the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, on the stage of a Men at Work concert in New York’s Madison Square Gardens, or even on a street corner in the Big Easy, you will find one or both of these saxophones. While the two saxophones are commonplace in the worlds of rock n’ roll, classical, and jazz music, alto saxophones and tenor saxophones are quite different in their size and shapes, the tone and key, and the musical parts they play.
College writing has numerous aspects. Successful College Writing by Kathleen T. McWhorter does well in covering many of those aspects. Consisting of a good deal of example essays, Successful College Writing helps students learn about the different parts of making a quality formal essay.

Two that work well together are Dearly Disconnected by Ian Frazier and Is Sharing Files Online Killing Music? by Jonathan Adamczak. Both display how to write about topics like change. Since the two essays have similar writing styles and topics, it would do a student well to review them.
One of the most obvious things that we are noticing in our everyday lives is that people are distinctly different. There are 7 billion people sharing the earth. But how many are considered “normal”? When are people considered abnormal? To be normal is to adhere to a standard or norm, but unfortunately, normality is an impossible and unlikely dream that we will continue to strive for all our lives. We strive for it because it gives us that sense of self that we need to reassure us that we fit in. While undefined, depending on your upbringing, generation and culture, what you consider normal may not be normal for someone else because other countries and cultures have different traditions and practices that they view to be routine; and what in the past has been viewed as normal has evolved throughout the course of time.
