These two historical periods had many similarities, yet also differences in which made the historical periods very unique.

I have chosen to compare and contrast an episode of David’s Attenborough’s nature documentary “Planet Earth” with our devised play. I believe this comparison is appropriate as both texts address the same theme- observing and analysing particular animals in their natural environment- in different ways, though sharing some similarities. Our play is a parody of…
The most significant difference between medieval and renaissance art is that renaissance art paid more attention to the human body, and to detail. Both, however, focused mainly on religious themes, although not necessarily Christian. Renaissance artists are remembered because they brought about the changes that led to the art of today. When looking at medieval…

The two stories, ‘The Pieces of Silver’ and ‘The Red Ball’ can be compared easily. I think that they can be seen as being alike with a lot of common points between them, though many contraries can be found as well. The general theme of both stories is quite touching, though in diverse ways in…
In Porphyria’s Lover, Browning sets the scene by describing the turbulent weather. The vexatious wind blowing on the trees and the moody lake is a metaphor of the Lover’s mind in the poem. It symbolises the violence and anger he has within himself. The Lover is full of hatred inside. The bad weather images is…
These two poems have many things in common they both are written by the same poet Robert Browning. ‘Porphyria’s Lover’ and ‘My Last Duchess’ are written through the eyes of the murder and are dramatic monologues. I suppose they can be seen as biased and one sided as the story is only told by one…

‘The Darkling Thrush’ and ‘Snow in the Suburbs. ‘ Both poems deal with the presence or lack of hope.
