Differences of Movie
We have watched two different types of of same movie of Cyrano and Bergerac. One was more based in the time of the story was written in and one was more of a modern movie. The modern movie has some crucial essential elements to the movie that makes it Cyrano and Bergerac, but you would need to observe very closely to find out. Both movies include the character of Cyrano, the man with the abnormally big nose. The movie that was based on the 1800s of France, had used French throughout the movie, but through the translations, you would be able to tell the dept of the language of English that is spoken, which uses more complicated language structure along with some deep meaning behind sentences. The Cyrano and Bergerac movies both includes one scene that left a deep impression in my head. The scene is when someone in a big crowd of people openly insults the big nose on Cyrano's face. That insults him, but he withheld his anger and rather than making fun of the other person, he uses different ways of describing his gigantic nose. These two movies both has some differences but mostly still similar. This story is very fascinating but I still prefer the Modern one better, due to the easier dialogue.

Legend
My favorite lengend come to think about it, would have to be The Oddyssey. Due to my history with reading novels, I don't think I have ever came across any other famous legends in my life. I believe the Odyssey was pretty interesting and sparked up a flame in me for legends. I am a guy that generally does not enjoy reading books, and this story actually amuses me. Which was caught to my surprise. I believe some legends I have read are just far too creative, I would say, far too many things that would not happen in real life. This story however, was a story with alot of imagination written through the ink, but also has some interesting plot lines that attracted me. The story of Odyssey was an Epic that was written by Homer. Many say this guy is far too great to be true. I believe this guy was just as real as Shakespeare and many other great poets and writers out there. I hope there would be more and more legends like this we could read in our class later on.
