Despite the fact that both writers have come from the southern environment of Iran, Ravanipour is better at representing nativeism in his works, while Pirzad’s approach to his environment is more impartial. Relying on a native narration, both authors are directed to discover women's identity and their vulnerability and loneliness in a male-dominated society. In fact, through studying the cultural representations and social norms in the works of these two authors, we seek to explain the issue of women’s world views and life system. The present paper is a comparative study of the cultural and social conditions that are reflected in the works of Ravanipour and Pirzad. Native literature, with its certain characteristics, outlines the peoples’ aspirations of a region along with their culture and customs.

The vivid pictures in this novella have been most influential in the building of popular imagination of a gritty, post-apocalyptic world: More than the movie adaption of the novella it influenced the visuals of Mad Max movies and contemporary computer game series Fallout, just to name a few samples. Review for A Boy and his Dog (novella edition, not the novelette): Originally published in the collection The Beast That Shouted Love at the Heart of the World, New York: Avon, 1969. But like Huck Finn, Vic doesn't much like being civilized. A lucky encounter with a thrill-seeking female from the world below draws Vic and his telepathic mutt Blood "down the rabbit hole" to an encounter with the remnants of pre-war civilization. In post-apocalyptic America, the surface is the province of the roverpaks, bands of feral human males teamed with intelligence-enhanced dogs, descendants of those bred for military use in the war that drove civilization underground. "A Boy and His Dog" is considered one of Ellison’s most compelling stories, and the author expanded it into a novel in 1989. Six years later, it was adapted as a Hugo Award-winning film, with Don Johnson starring as Vic. Critics also appreciated the story, and it won the 1969 Nebula Award (awarded by Science Fiction Writers of America) for Best Novella. Published in Harlan Ellison’s 1969 short-story collection, The Beast That Shouted Love at the Heart of the World, "A Boy and His Dog" is one of the author’s own favorite works. The show tries to prove the validity of ancient aliens by examining ancient religious texts in which humans interact with individuals that descend from the sky. The popular history channel show Ancient Aliens, builds upon Erich von Däniken theology by collecting evidence to support and enhance current views on ancient aliens. Moreover, alien sightings at Roswell, New Mexico and popular films like 2001: A Space Odyssey and Close Encounters of the Third Kind have further heightened the public’s curiosity. With the help of social media and the fascination for the unknown, the idea of alien-human interaction was thrust into the spotlight during the 1950s. Erich von Däniken’s theories and ideas have continued to be analyzed and examined. The book immediately became a best seller and to this day continues to sell in volume. In 1968, Erich von Däniken published “Chariots of the Gods? Unsolved Mysteries of the Past” that hypothesized that ancient alien visited earth and taught humans advanced technologies and ancient religions. Roswell UFO incident described by the Roswell Daily Record Her mother Anne was half-French and half-Scottish. Rowling was born to Peter James Rowling, a Rolls-Royce aircraft engineer, and Anne Rowling (née Volant), on 31 July 1965 in Yate, Gloucestershire, England, 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Bristol. In a 2012 interview, Rowling noted that she no longer cared that people pronounced her name incorrectly. During the Leveson Inquiry she gave evidence under the name of Joanne Kathleen Rowling. She calls herself Jo and has said, "No one ever called me 'Joanne' when I was young, unless they were angry." Following her marriage, she has sometimes used the name Joanne Murray when conducting personal business. As she had no middle name, she chose K as the second initial of her pen name, from her paternal grandmother Kathleen Ada Bulgen Rowling. Anticipating that the target audience of young boys might not want to read a book written by a woman, her publishers demanded that she use two initials, rather than her full name. Rowling, pronounced like rolling, her name when her first Harry Potter book was published was simply Joanne Rowling. Although she writes under the pen name J.K. Estimates for The Doors of Stone have ranged from 2014 to 2018 and everywhere in between. The third book promises answers to how Kvothe, who reminisces of his adventures at the inn he runs, winds up where we met him at the start of the series, and maybe we get some conclusions to the many subplots introduced throughout. The first two books detailed the story of the adventurer and bard Kvothe, as he encounters all sorts of intrigue and fantasy escapades. Here’s everything we know about the much-anticipated book, from when we’ll see it hit shelves to what possibly could be in store. Fans have now waited over a decade for the release of The Doors of Stone, the third book in Patrick Rothfuss’ gigantic and all-encompassing fantasy series, The Kingkiller Chronicle. However, the production of these books is. We’re coming up on 10 years since the release of the Game of Thrones series, but the love of fantasy epics and their adaptations isn’t slowing down in the least. Those times in Egypt were already dominated by the Romans, and it seemed that there would be no more great Egyptian rulers. Her father was perhaps an intelligent dreamer, but he did not have the skills to be a successful king. She was born in 69 BC, as a daughter of pharaoh Ptolemy XII, during a very difficult period in the history of Egypt. Since the beginning, the life of Cleopatra was not easy. Since the beginning of the oldest civilizations, women were able to become independent rulers, but the ones who stayed on the throne the longest, had to learn specific skills to achieve it. If someone were to believe that a woman could only achieve such a great position in the ancient world based only on her beauty, they could not be more wrong. Cleopatra VII could be called one of the greatest intellectuals of her times. More important than her love life was her educational pursuits. She was usually depicted as a lover of great men, but the truth was different. Cleopatra VII is not only a famous person in history, she is also the icon of a rich and powerful culture. |
