Written in the late 8th century by Homer, Odysseus, the pinnacle of epic heroes in Greek literature, has become literature’s piece of clay and has been molded and adapted to what we find relevant in our society, who has also withstood the test of time. In The Odyssey, Homer’s protagonist Odysseus recounts his adventures getting back from the Trojan War and trying to get back home to Ithaca. Much like Odysseus, a hero modeled after Odysseus in modern culture is J.K. Rowling’s own Harry Potter. In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Harry finds himself in J.K.

There are roughly six thousand five hundred spoken languages in the world today. It is generally agreed that even though these different languages possess distinctive vocabularies, grammars, and pronunciations they can be expressed with the same meaning to a certain thing and do not affect how we see and understand the world. However, the widespread conception of language is wrong; instead language does, in fact, shape the way we think. People who disagree may argue the influence of our thinking comes from culture. It is correct, but we cannot forget that language also influences the way we think about culture it carries .Besides, Language is also used for estimation of intelligence and identification.

In the following comparative essay I will be discussing the literacy of practices used outside of school for pleasure by comparing and contrasting the reading, writing and digital literacy use of British Asian girls and Welsh girls and how this has influenced or affected their bicultural and bilingual identity using information from an article written by Susan Jones in 2006, as well as information I’ve gained from my lectures and own personal experience. Literacy practices includes everything you read and write. If you are reading and writing for pleasure you are choosing what you want to read or write in your free time. Fry suggests that “what we choose to read, or simply the books we have in our possession, are indices of the ways in which we want to be seen and the ways we see ourselves”(Fry, 1985, p.96). The Welsh girls are more comfortable with reading welsh as the texts are more contemporary in nature compared to the texts which the British-Asian girls read but they still choose to read texts that are English as there is not a large variety of magazines and novels available in Welsh.

Despite the apparent differences between ancient oral myths and the contemporary myths often depicted in brightly animated films, the “cultural force” of a myth exists within its deep structural components and not within its medium. One contemporary myth, Beauty and the Beast (1756), and one ancient Sherente myth, “The Planet Venus”, have different geographical and temporal origins. However, with the aid of Claude Lévi-Strauss’s structural analysis of myth, this essay will analyze the structural elements of both myths to expose their homologous deep structure and meaning. Subsequently, the same structure found in both myths transcends the limitations of time and functions in a present day myth that has devastating consequences.

In order to pursue a college degree, the student must make the choice between learning in a traditional classroom versus learning online which can be challenging at times (Follis,2014). Some of the primary differences between learning in a classroom versus learning online are location, time allocation and communication with the instructor. My previous college experience began with me waking up early, getting dressed, then driving an hour to attend classes all day on a campus. In addition to all the assignments associated with each different class, you also had to concern yourself with the commute in itself. Of course, online learning can be done in the comfort of your own home and on your own schedule (Bethel University,2014).
