This can be related to the stories written in War Dances with the outcome of the narrator’s relationship with his father in, “War Dances,” or the marriage between husband and wife in, “The Ballad of Paul Nonetheless,” or even the relationship between two lifetime friends in, “The Senator’s Son.” Many of the outcomes in these stories might have been totally different if they lacked this theme of coming to terms with oppositions and looking at their situations in multiple angles. Also, the author of the article writes, “The ability to see a different point of view requires that you give up ‘being right’,” which also goes back to some of the short stories in War Dances (Daley). For example, in the short story, “War Dances,” the narrator gives up the idea of being in the “right” with his father in the wrong and
The essay I am writing will emphasize the similarities as well as the differences between two stories. In my opinion doing a compare and contrast essay allows you to really breakdown the stories. I also feel it helps you distinguish which story you liked more, or whether you liked either at all. The two stories chosen were, from Genesis King James Bible, and from Popol VUH. Both stories share that in the beginning the earth was still, but empty.
The first aspect that I would like to discuss is that of the plot within “The Rite” and “The Man I Killed”. Some of the meanings are designed to be complicated thus furthering the possibilities of interpretation on the readers behalf. However, both short stories are similar and different in their own
O’Connor uses humorous irony to affect the reader of these stories, and one can see that the three different areas that you notice similarities are showed through the characters, and how they can relate to one another- even though they are in two totally different stories, the setting- how both stories include some of the same styles in time and place, and the structure of how the stories are written, in which they both contain the element that there is an illusion to a lot of people and things in life, as well as how one can never know what is going to happen next. Through O’Connor’s certain writing style, one can notice that the characters in this story have quite a bit in common. Both sets of characters in these stories include one that is the unlike the rest. Comparing the grandma in A Good Man is Hard to Find and the daughter in Good Country People, it is clear that they are somewhat of the main characters in each story. In a way, the daughter (Hulga) and the Grandma both hold the
Analysing Act 2, Scene 1 and Act 4, Scene 3 in “The Taming of the Shrew” will cover various features of the clever language Shakespeare has used in the play, in order for it to appeal to all audiences. This will include humour in the form of sexual innuendo, slapstick comedy and puns because the play is a comedy. I will also point out animal imagery and different 16th century themes Shakespeare has included in the play, some of which still exist today i.e. sexism, men versus women, power and appearance versus reality (what is seen on the surface is not always what is underneath). The main theme that any 21st Century audience will firstly notice is the obvious sexism towards Katherina.
Shavon Roberts April 26, 2015 Dr. Strangelove/Fail-Safe Assignment Comparison and Contrast of Dr. Strangelove & Fail-Safe Deciding between two things is an everyday issue, and we usually end up making a decision upon what is the best offer or outcome for us. In this case, I am considering the similarities and the differences between two movies, which are Dr. Strangelove and Fail-Safe. Dr. Strangelove is an exaggerated sarcastic comedy while Fail-Safe is a severe drama. In this paper, I explained that although the two films are similar, they are also different. I do this by comparing the characters of the film.
This same situation applies in the short stories " Young Goodman Brown" and " The Rocking Horse Winner." While these short stories are completely different in their plot, settings, point of view, etc., they do however share some similarities in the general message that they are trying to portray. This paper will explain both stories in detail, all while
He often creates very alternate commentary on political, cultural and emotional themes in life using his whimsy characters. He describes his approach as “regressive, messy and vaudevillian - producing work which is both raw and sublime, loved and hated.” (Michael Leunig website). His artistic style often has a very playfully quaint or fanciful feel in the way creates his pencil and line drawings. These pencil line drawings often have heavy philosophical statements about modern society embedded in them. Leunig also uses watercolours in many of his thought provoking art works.
SYMBOLISM IN “RED CONVERTIBLE” The symbolism can be defined as the use of symbols to signify ideas and qualities by giving them symbolic meanings that are different from their literal sense. Many authors use this literature device in their stories to reveal the theme or to give and emphasize the message. The symbolism captures significant elements and confers complexity and depths to the story. By using this figure of speech, the writer communicates and shares his ideas without thorough explanations; leaving the final interpretation to the reader. In the short story “The Red Convertible” write by Louise Erdrich, the symbolism is used to illustrate the changing bond between two brothers Henry and Lyman.
Write about some of the ways Fitzgerald tells the story in chapter two. Throughout the novel Fitzgerald uses a variety of techniques to draw the reader into the story, in chapter two there is a lot of evidence of these techniques being used. In particular he uses pathetic fallacy and symbolism as well as shock. The opening of chapter two is illustrated by a description of the valley of the ashes as Nick travels with Tom through the Valley of the Ashes to New York to meet Tom’s mistress, Myrtle. In the description, Fitzgerald uses pathetic fallacy at the very start to portray the moods and emotions of the time.
