Music Appreciation MUSI 1306 63002 Comparison: The Movie “Amadeus vs. Mozart’s Real Life” Although the 1984 movie “Amadeus” was absolutely an entertaining and well played by many actors, there were many differences in it and the true life of Mozart. Mozart’s Requiem provides an intriguing history. According to Albert Borowitz, the commissioning of the Requiem was nearly as mysterious as the film portrays. He tells the story this way: “Around July of 1791, when Mozart’s work on The Magic Flute was virtually complete and rehearsals had already begun, Mozart received a visit from a tall, grave-looking stranger dressed completely in gray. The stranger presents an anonymous letter commissioning Mozart to compose a Requiem as quickly as possible at whatever price the composer wished to name.

First of all, the movie never portrays Caroline Beaufort as being the daughter of the unfortunate merchant, Beaufort. In the novel, once Beaufort dies, Alphonse Frankenstein weds his daughter, Caroline. The movie also leaves out the adoption of Elizabeth. This leaves the viewer wondering why Victor is marrying his sister and why they are so intimate. The movie also seems to portray Elizabeth's appearance very differently than the novel's description.
How well does The Hobbit satisfy the Fantasy genre? The Hobbit, by JJR Tolkien, can be determined as a fantasy novel.

They are on a great quest to reclaim Thorin’s treasure from the immense and intimidating dragon, Smaug.
The pursuit of knowledge When comparing the two works of science fiction, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and “Flowers for Algernon” by Daniel Keyes, one of the first things you should ask yourself is what kind of questions do they aks ?. And for these two books it’s very clear. Both stories centers around the ideer of man being abel to understand what ‘‘life’’ is. And both books raises questions like: what is human life ?, who are to judge what is human life ?, and what is the meaning of life ?. Even though the story about Frankenstein was written almost 200 years ago, the story never gets old.
Tyler Krause C.J. Gordon Writing 39B 15 February 2012 Brando Skyhorse: A Touch of Magic "Brando Skyhorse writes with great compassion and wit (and a touch of magic) about the lives of people who are often treated as if they are invisible. The stories that make up this novel weave together to create a complex and vivid portrait of a Los Angeles we seldom see in literature or film. The Madonnas of Echo Park is a memorable literary debut." Dan Chaon, author of Await Your Reply.
“There, the sun is eternally visible. What may not be expected in a country of eternal light?” (Frankenstein, page 1) So begins a book, which I’ve only half read as of today, with so many great questions and wonderful speculations that I would challenge anybody to set down the novel after getting to the point that Victor Frankenstein begins his story of how he comes to create a living being. From that point forward, it is simply riveting. We realize quickly that the novel is written in epistolary form, or as a series of documents, letters, dairy entries, news clippings, etc…This form that Shelley uses, like Paul the Apostle, adds a realism to an otherwise fantastical story. (Imagine him.
Probably because, despite all the radical social changes that have taken place since Jane Austen's time, people haven't really changed all that much. It has been argued that Jane Austen's novels all have the same plot; on a superficial level, there is a germ of truth to that argument. However, the true greatness of Jane Austen's work lies not in the basic stories but in the ironic and occasionally bitchy cultural observations that suffuse those plots and bring them to life. Scriptwriter and director Amy Heckerling has followed admirably Jane Austen's example by making a film that, on the surface, seems like another mindless teen flick but is actually a multi-layered social commentary. She took Austen's novel Emma, the story of a spoiled child of the 19th century English leisure class who thinks she knows everything, and turned it into the film Clueless, the story of a spoiled child of the 20th century American leisure class who thinks she knows everything.
When I mingled with families, I distinctly discerned how peculiarly fortunate was, and gratitude assisted the development of filial love” (Shelley 35). There is little from the initial description of Frankenstein’s early years that would make us think that he may turn to evil. Neither did any tragic life-changing event take place in his early years that could influence him or make him seek power. If Mary Shelley had intended to portray Frankenstein as an evil character, would she not have given him a reason to be angry with the world and lash out at it by creating a monster? In fact, Frankenstein never created his monster with the intention to harm anyone or cause destruction.
