Anansi Boys




The myth was reinvented throughout the film because we see a toil among two brothers and it really has to do with the fathers’ actions and behavior. He somewhat paved a road for the two brothers in which they would realize that they need to come together and work together on their struggles ahead of them. It almost is a novel where you see shortly after you read that it was meant to be where the two brothers would have to go through a tough time in order to accomplish their future plans.

Throughout the novel, we see how there are two brothers that are in contempt and frankly I think this is because they had not really known each other and when their father passed away, that created a character shift for Charlie. He had to live with his father’s silly action and contempt. All this build up I believe caused him to search for his magic and along the way he found out that he was not the only one solving his own problems. He had a brother who did not like the other and they both, had to come to terms of what they wanted. So, we see that there is hatred among the two brothers and this is related to the myth of the unknown. They do not for see what is going to happen and get tricked into things like planning to hurt others.

The unknown that I am speaking about is, what happens in today’s world, about not knowing what is going to happen and you don’t know you should trust and where to put your stakes. Also, in today’s contemporary world, there are many stories in which there is suspicion among many characters that are related. This causes a lot of drama and plot twists that keeps the readers enticed.

The Night Circus

The Night Circus Play In this play we see that there is love which is forbidden but also favored. These are the main points through the play. It all starts out with Celia and Marco who are tied in love and they have a challenge ahead of themselves. However there is a always a struggle to maintain that love throughout the play due to the both of them having to concentrating and not breaking the rules. So we see that there is a pattern between the two main characters in terms of love because they both want to be in love but the competitions and rules are keeping them from doing that. So towards the end it is sort of like Romeo and Juliet where they both attempt to die together but with their spells they die together to live as spirts eternally. There is a spiritual challenge here and that is when the two characters do there best to be in love but through sneaky way. Along with moral issues, they both seem not abide to the circus’ rules and do whatever they please wh

Annihilation

Annihilation Something I think is weird about this film is the atmosphere for sure and the DNA that the dome has inside of it. What I mean by this is how the landscape is inside the dome where the volunteers go into to see what’s wrong. It is extremely colorful and has shapes and forms that are very unique. They form around the existing earth structure but eat away at it and forms its own nature. What I think is incredible is how the book talks in great detail about the color of the forms of the new landscape. This is the moss that covers everything. It has incredible neon colors that are so abstract to even imagine but very intense! The patterns that it creates and everything that it keeps inside of it is kind of gross but at the same time beautiful. It’s crazy because the new form that it creates is absolutely beautiful and very intrigue. The other crazy thing I think is weird is that this moss takes on the DNA of humans, and other living objects and kills it to

Akata Witch

Akata Witch In the beginning we see that there is a young girl who finds out she is a witch with the help of others. In terms of archetypes, I do think that this book resembles quite a bit of Harry Potter attributes. Such as the young girl having needing help to find out she is a witch other and in Harry Potter is also different from everyone else and Hogwarts help him get into the magic world. Sonny also builds some great friends while she is finding out who she is and what she is going to do with her magic. The same thing goes for Harry Potter he undergoes a ton of challenges finding out what his mission his and who he really is. In a culture of recognizing the need for female empowerment, Akata could have some ties with this idea in our day and age. With her struggle to find out how to use her powers to her best advantage and for others, the same is for women today.
