To compare and contrast an Egyptian pyramid to the Parthenon in Greece

A cultural theme such as class, floods, droughts, death and attitudes toward death, war rivalries, structures of power and politics, religious conflict, chaos and order, gender, revenge, etc. has to connect the two works you choose. For example, if you are interested in structures of power and politics you could compare and contrast an Egyptian pyramid to the Parthenon in Greece. In this example, the two cultures are Egyptian and Greek and the two architectural works are pyramids and the Parthenon. The theme that connects them is power.

You can consult a maximum of 5 sources for this essay. The sources that you use MUST BE CITED in your essay in MLA style. Use the sources to gain background information and context about the works you choose. For example, you will have to explain what their history is or whom or what is depicted in them. You will be making arguments in your essay and supporting them with evidence. These sources will provide that evidence. Sources must be books, database articles, and magazines. You have free access (in the library and online) to databases such as JSTOR where you can download articles. I strongly advise against using unreliable websites and blogs as sources.
