*These differences should be important. Paragraph 2 Sentence 1: Begin with a transition (The first major difference between the text and the movie is the relationship between Beowulf and Grendel’s mother. In the story, …”) Sentence 2: You would then discuss what happened in the story, use a transition word or phrase (“In contrast” etc), and talk about what happened in the movie. Sentence 3-5 (or 6): After you’ve listed the difference, you will then discuss why you think the movie made the change, and if you think it was more or less effective than the story and why.

Heckering exploits the contemporary genre of film to create, if you will, an Emma of our time. Both texts immediately introduce the reader to the major characters of Emma and Cher and the first parallel is made. Austin’s opening sentence of Emma is written in the third person and is extremely
How has the Eunice been presented in A Streetcar Named Desire? As A Streetcar Named Desire is predominately a study of couples and the time, Williams uses Eunice and Steve’s marriage to give a separate backdrop to the neighbourhood; it gives the audience a broader insight into understanding the conflict shown between couples. Williams uses Eunice’s marriage to compare with the Kowalski’s. In Scene 5, Stella and Blanche’s conversation is interrupted by the sound of Eunice and Steve arguing, and Steve subsequently beating Eunice, which would shock the audience, however Stella responds to the violence by saying that alcohol is a “more practical” cure for Eunice’s woes, further shocking the audience with the nonchalant attitude toward domestic violence, which is a constant occurrence in the play. As Eunice is used to present a wider background for the play, she also presents the society at the time, and sometimes voices the audience’s opinions, for example, after Stanley beats Stella, Eunice’s speech is punctuated with many ‘!’, showing hers and, furthermore the audiences, shock at the violence.
Differing Point of View In John Updike’s “A&P” and Eudora Welty's “Why I Live at the P.O.” the two authors use first-person point of view to develop the characters and while the usage of first-person is incredibly different the characterization in each story is surprisingly similar. In "A&P" the point of view is chosen to develop the growing sense of morality in Sammy, while in "Why I Live at the P.O" the point of view is chosen to exaggerate the family's feuds by showing Sister as an unreliable narrator. The first person point of view used by Updike in "A&P", defines the usage of first person to develop a character in a very traditional manner. According to Suite101 "First person makes the narrator close up and personal. We, the reader, can identify with the character and experience their deepest, innermost thoughts and feelings".
Antigone's Everlasting Conflict A Comparison between a Legendary Tragedy and a Modern Drama Before 445 B.C Sophocles wrote a now historically famous tragedy entitled Antigone. In 2010 director Debra Granik released a drama adapted from Daniel Woodrell’s novel of the same name “Winter’s Bone”; this movie was praised by A.O Scott who is a prominent leader of film critique as “the modern day Antigone”. Overall the comparison made is extremely accurate; this comparison is drawn based on the movie and tragedy’s similar conflict and the reaction of the female protagonist throughout the respective stories. These observations can be taken directly from each narrative’s text and are important to recognize these conflicts from Antigone being used as we can as readers we can see that people in seemingly powerless positions taking control of their life and challenging the status qua in society, which are timeless conflicts. Now, the character Antigone is a woman in a very patriarchal society, ancient Greece was not a place where women could easily undermine a man's authority.
On the oppose side of the marital spectrum, Zeena regularly professes her hypochondria to her husband. However, in response to the sledding accident, she “seemed to be raised right up just when the call came to her” (Wharton 131). This ironic “miracle” proves Zeena’s addiction to martyrdom, emotionally dependent on first her illnesses, then to her vocational role. Although professedly unhappy, she relies on her marriage for a sense of purpose. In an examination of the constancies, it seems as though both wife and husband, woman and man, are reliant upon both one another and their marriage to function

Through Another’s Eyes: Point of View in “The Yellow Wallpaper” In Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper” the narrator’s point of view through first person narration gives the story it’s truly intrinsic tone. As the reader is lead first hand along one woman’s descent into madness, the fact that this story is to an extent autobiographical further increases the importance and appeal of the first person narrative. The story in itself has a deceiving prose, with the narrator initially appearing upbeat by the use of exclamation marks, sarcasm and humor but revealing to the reader that she is considered mentally ill by the outside world. Gilman’s personal experience with the depression and treatment described in the story undoubtedly comes forth in her ability to narrate “The Yellow Wallpaper” in such a believable manner. The narrator’s delivery from start to finish keeps the reader off balance, thus adding to the frightening style and evolution of the story.

Graham’s Night Journey tells of Jocasta’s destiny, the triumphal entry of Oedipus, their meeting, new love and intimacy and then their devastating discovery that their relationship is not of husband and wife, but actually of mother and son. Movement and non-movement components, motifs and symbols will be analysed in order to outline the emotions of devastation, love and hope of Jocasta’s inner core.

In particular, she performs very sharp, rigid and strong movements to suit and connect with the powerful music. A way to show that she feels lost and heartbroken is through rigid isolations of the chest and wrapping her hands tightly around her body and then releasing them with intense power.
