Shakespeare uses the bones and structure of the myth as a base for the humor of this scene. He presents the mechanicals (Bottom and Quince, etc) as bad actors who don't know their parts very well, and who also have to improvise to create different elements of the myth. The wall and the moon, for instance, are played by actors rather than just being the inanimate objects that they are in the myth. The story is the same, the plot follows the same lines, but Shakespeare uses the inefficiency and inadequacy of the actors to create more of a ridiculous and humorous tone.

When you are citing an authors work only once, parenthetical documentation should include ?
olasank [31]

In writing, citing an author means you quote, paraphrase or summarize the words of an external source and author and therefore should acknowledge this information is not yours through parenthetical documentation or citations. This according to the MLA manual which is the most common manual followed in academical writing can be included by writing the last name of the author and the page number in parentheses at the end of the citation or by mentioning during the text the last name of the author and including the page number in parentheses after the citation, this applies to all sources and authors that are cited once or multiple times except if the name of the author is not provided. According to this, in parenthetical documentation, you should include both the author's last name followed by a page number.

What are the similarities between "the golden cat" and "the cat and the moon"
m_a_m_a [10]

In The Golden Cat the tone used by the poet is on a reserved nature as though to show how important the cat is to man, without any form of command or stance. It also helps the reader have an interest as it appears constructed. On the other hand, The Cat and the Moon uses a descriptive tone in its delivery.

How does the tone of the two poems differ? "The Cat and the Moon" has a serious and mysterious tone, while "The Golden Cat" has a happy and regal tone. "The Cat and the Moon" has a distant and angry tone, while "The Golden Cat" has fast-paced, excited tone.

The sun in the golden cat basically symbolizes the attitude of the poem. It is a happy poem, in contrast the cat and the moon is more gloomy.

But what is something SIMILAR about them?

they are both stories about cats. :)
