Compare the character Ra’s Al Ghul in Batman with the new Ms. Marvel. How are these two characters similar and/or different?

The characters Ra's Al Ghul in Batman and the new Ms. Marvel are similar because they both have good intentions and are of the few depictions of Muslim characters in comics. They differ because one is a hero and the other a villain, among other reasons.

One of the most interesting similarities between the two characters is that they serve as some of the very few depictions of comic characters of Muslim origins. Ra's Al Ghul is the Arabic translation for "Head of the demons". The new Ms. Marvel, known as Kamala Khan, is a Pakistani American Muslim girl from New Jersey.

This provides an interesting real-world-ish similarity between the two, some more comic oriented similarities include:

Both fought to live up to family expectationsBoth have good intentions behind their actions.

Though some similarities can be drawn, the differences between Ra's Al Ghul and Ms. Marvel are much more evident and numerous. These include but are not limited to:

One is a hero (Kamala), the other a villain (Ra's)Ms. Marvel pertains to the Marvel universe, whereas Ra's Al Ghul belongs to DC comics.Both have good intentions, but Ra's does not seek to help humans, whereas Ms. Marvel does.

along with a plethora of other differences such as age, gender, abilities, and so on.

Ms. Marvel and Ra's Al Ghul are both comic characters of Muslim origins, with perceivably good intentions behind what they do, but present many differences in age, gender, abilities, comic universe that they each belong to, and the fact that Ra's al Ghul is a villain meanwhile Ms. Marvel is considered a Superhero.

Emerson represents a snapshot of different ‘characters’ one may overlook when looking at a nature scene.

Explanation:

In the poem ‘Each and All’ the famous American transcendentalist poet Ralph Waldo Emerson discusses about organicism in our life. Organicism is a philosophical concept that deals with the organic wholeness of all objects or things in this Earth with respect to its surroundings.

Emerson emphasizes on the fact that everything on this earth fits into a complete wholeness with respect to its surroundings. In the process every individual, animal or things performs its routine duty without noticing its onlooker and also often itself stays unnoticed.

Through a first person narrator the poet relates all the unnoticed things like the hill-top, heifer, sexton, a field hand. He even alludes the French monarch Napolean who always stopped to listen to the sexton when he was riding but the sexton carried on with his work and never noticed him.

Emerson portrays a snap-shot of the different ordinary characters that one may overlook while passing by as they fit perfectly into the wholeness of the surroundings.
