Generated from prompt:

Title: Sindbad the Sailor and Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger — Adventure, Fate, and Adaptation across Time Slide 1: Title Text: Sindbad the Sailor and Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger — Adventure, Fate, and Adaptation across Time Slide 2: Main Claim Text: In Haddawy’s Nights, Sindbad is a merchant tested by work, danger, and God. In the 1977 film, Sinbad is a calm action hero on a rescue mission. This is a transformative adaptation that changes what a “good hero” looks like in a new time. Slide 3: Evidence from Nights (Haddawy) Text: Sindbad in the Nights — Wastes his money, then goes back to work as a merchant. Says: “A man must labor hard to scale the heights and to seek greatness must spend sleepless nights” (Sindbad the Sailor, p. 6). Thanks God after every voyage and promises to stop traveling. Slide 4: Evidence from the Film Text: Sinbad in the Film — Early scene (about 06:00–15:00): Sinbad sneaks into Charak, meets Princess Farah, and learns that Kassim is cursed. He quickly promises to help break the spell and save the throne. The film shows him as brave, loyal, and always ready to fight. Slide 5: Why This Change Matters Text: The Nights links adventure to work, risk, and faith in God. The film follows 1970s fantasy movie style: clear good vs. evil, strong romance and loyalty, big action and monsters. This shows a cultural shift from a moral merchant to a Hollywood-style hero. Design: Blend of classic academic, cinematic adventure, and modern minimal styles — elegant serif titles, bold color accents (gold and blue), simple icons, subtle film and sea imagery backgrounds.

Explores Sindbad's shift from Haddawy’s Nights—a merchant tested by toil, danger, faith—to 1977 film’s calm action hero on a rescue quest, reflecting cultural changes in heroism. (148 chars)
