In the simplest terms subjects act and objects are acted upon.

The film is John Carter. It's based on a book called The Princess of Mars, which was written by Edgar Rice Burroughs.

I was interested in the idea of why and how

That's a shame because One Thousand and One Nights is perhaps the best known example of Arabic literature, a collection of Middle Eastern and South Asian stories.

It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo.

It will appear, certainly, in many more Middle Eastern stories.

But this story.

There's a story in the sea, in the waters of the sea, in the sediments and the rocks of the sea floor.
