There are many other differences between Charles Frazier’s novel Cold Mountain and Anthony Minghella’s movie based upon the novel, I have only chosen a few. The key difference that I find interesting is the way the novel ends compared to that of the movie, there is no mentioning of love or thought for Inman in the novel while the movie portrays Ada as having a hard time be able to forget his presence. These differences are important because they can change how the audience perceives the novel in comparison to the
Junior believes it has to do with depression, when he says, “I suppose he is depressed” and “I suppose the whole family is depressed” (40). He realizes that when he says, “we all look for ways to make the pain go away” (107). Some people that suffer from depression lock themselves in either the basement or “run away to get drunk” (150), like his sister and father. According to Junior everyone is depressed in the Rez, that is the reason why so many Indians become alcoholics, to flush away their pain. Junior's father “drinks his pain away” (107).
In the essay, ‘The Step Not Taken’ by Paul D’Angelo, the author depicts a story of a man caught between doing what he feels is the right thing, and doing what makes him comfortable. By analyzing the archetypal structure of the story, the reader clearly sees how the man in the elevator experiences the cycle of the monomyth. The first stage is the separation – upon seeing the other man in the elevator break down in tears, the narrator refuses to rise to the occasion and offer his help. During the struggle, or initiation, the narrator realizes that what he has done by walking away from the elevator without saying a word was the wrong thing to do. And finally, throughout the return and reintegration, the narrator realizes his mistake, and refuses to go back to being the way he was previously.
Out of the two stories First Flight is more enjoyable because of the text to self connections that are possible. First Flight and Fog have similar qualities since they both target an age group and when not read by that certain age group they are thought to be dreadful. First Flight is a more powerful story when read by teenagers because they can relate to the way Gregory feels. In Fog teenagers cannot relate to the main character because she is an old woman waiting on death’s door which teenagers have nothing in common with most of the time. In First Flight the author realistically shows how teenagers will act with one another.
Like most movies that are based on books, the movie does not follow the book very much at all. I believe that the short story and the movie of "The Birds" are extremely different. Although there are some similarities, the differences outweigh them. In this paper, I will discuss the similarities and differences in the works. The book was written by Daphne DuMorier, while the movie was
Rhetorical Analysis Essay The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger is written for a teenage and young adult audience. The reader knows this statement is true because throughout the book Holden had some things that the wrong audience would not like or be able to relate. One would say that because Holden is a minor he should not be making lots of important decisions that would affect him later. This does not mean only teenagers would like this book but it does mean that teens can relate to Holden the best.
followed by another man in his mid-twenties. Then something out of the ordinary happens, the young man starts to cry. I think that this symbolizes that the author, Paul, is in an uncomfortable state and is put in to the unordinary. This symbolizes The story starts off in an office building in the large city of Toronto. A man is followed into an elevator that Paul has gone through the first stage of the monomyth, separation.

Sexual and Racial Tension in Larsen’s Passing Clare Kendry and Irene Redfield are the two main characters in Nella Larsen’s Passing. We do not learn about the both of them by seeing or hearing the story from a neutral point of view. Rather, we are subject to envision the entire novel from behind the eyes of only one of these characters, Irene. At first, forcing the reader to suspend themselves in only one of these two complex minds may seem like a biased action on the part of the author. However, as we read further into the book, we soon discover that the limited third-person view is necessary to bring both of these figures to life.
All I can say is that 'The Other Side of the River' was very different from different books. This is true because usually a book starts out without much excitement then leads on to a satisfying climax. This book however started with the climax and then explains the stories while the narrator reveals some feelings of his own. As I was reading this book I felt something strange: I couldn't really give the narrator a face. This is the first time it happened to me, as I usually give the narrator a face, and because I couldn't do this I just decided to think of him as a non-human being.
