The contrast with the western dragon is that the western dragons usually have a shorter but wider body length, as opposed to the Articulated dragons long and slender body frame. The depicted frames are something that is to be noted as the frames represent the visualization of two different cultures regarding the mythical creature. When comparing with other eastern cultures dragons, there will be many similarities and a few, almost unnoticeable, differences regarding the dragons. Comparing the Articulated Dragon to the Dragon Pendant of China’s Eastern Zhou dynasty, we could see that the frames of both dragons are basically almost identical to one another with some minor differences. The…

However, they need some water too and striking that delicate balance between humidity and heat can cause some health issues. Like most infections and diseases, it all goes back to husbandry.

The dragon is described as being enormous and breathing poisonous fire. It is told that when attacks the dragon, his sword fails, implying that the beast is much stronger than any other he has faced. The dragon also is capable of burning down the throne, which can be interpreted that he is not a creature that has any regard for the idea of God, he is the Devil. The fight with the dragon serves to show Beowulf’s weaknesses, his aging and stubbornness. He orders his men to let him fight alone, and the majority of them listen, showing how his egoistic manners and unwillingness to accept help ultimately led to his…

During the battle between the dragon and Beowulf, “Beowulf’s body ran wet with his life blood: it came welling out” (2691-2692). Hence, the dragon is an absolute depiction of evil power and chaos because of the fact that it made Beowulf bleed eternally, which further enhances the idea that the dragon is vicious and truly immoral. In addition, when the dragon bites the amazing hero, “Beowulf discovered deadly poison suppurating inside him,” which eventually causes Beowulf to die (2714-2715). Furthermore, the dragon symbolizes a clear view of evil power and chaos because he straight up kills the life of an innocent being and ultimately ruins the life of a significant hero. To add even more, Wiglaf talks about Beowulf and the battle declaring “He held to his high destiny.…

"-Quote from Minutes That Matter by Kristina Waltz.…
Popular mythology depicts cowboys crooning soft lullabies to cattle on open ranges, singing old familiar songs and hymns, or creating new songs or verses to existing songs in the long dark hours of the night. While this image is highly romanticized, the association between music and the cowboy is not entirely unfounded. For cowboys, recollections from actual workers or witnesses have been recorded long before singing became a profession, recorded, or played on the radio and film because anywhere working men have been isolated for periods of time in particular circumstances, a tradition of song by or about those men and their work develops; sailors, loggers, railroad workers, boatmen, miners, and others all have rich musical traditions (Quay,…

Mythological Creatures Mythological creatures, they are all such strange creatures. These creatures are not real, but very mysterious. The creatures are from myths, but why would people want to have put them in the myths in the first place? Why were the creatures created?

Similarities and dissimilarities between Chinese and Indian Culture - Posemsetty Padma Lakshmi Naga Apoorva 20131070 Chinese is analogous to Indian Culture in many ways. I reached to this conclusion because of the many similarities I found throughout the course. First we learnt about how the Chinese believed the earth was formed how their life started from a seed and after this being kept on going and separated the sky and the land and then the snake like goddess created human beings. Even though this might not be similar coincidently many of our gods and goddesses too are half human and half animals. For example out Lord Ganesha has the face of an elephant and the body of a human even though it is contested that this was to cover up facial…
