Karn Randhawa 5/10/11 Period 3 COMPARE/CONTRAST ESSAY The books To Kill a Mockingbird and Great Expectations are closely related both in structure and in meaning. Two characters that are similar and different from both of these novels are Scout from To Kill a Mockingbird and Pip from Great Expectations. They lead similar lives, both under the shadows of those they want to become and pressured by many around them, shaping their overall qualities and characteristics. After analyzing both novels, it’s apparent that both of these characters are similar in their traits, but they also have some differences that set them apart. Scout and Pip are similar in the fact that both characters are different, or long to become different, in regards to their environment and those around them.
A comparative study of texts will show that the same values will exist across time and are influenced by the context of the time the value is composed in. The given statement reflecting this states that the values are merely influenced, however these values are actually significantly influenced by the context. These statements can be seen as being absolutely true and is clearly highlighted in the 19th century novel ‘Frankenstein’ written by Mary Shelly and the 1982 dystopian science-fiction film ‘Blade Runner’ directed by Ridley Scott. These two very similar texts express many of the same values within one another; these values could be addressed as the values of scientific discovery and nature. These two, very specific values that exist in each text across time are clearly influenced by the two different contexts of the two different time periods.
There are lots of great short stories out there, but in my opinion, both`` Desiree’s baby`` by Kate Chopin and ``Sonny’s Blues`` by James Baldwin are two of the most truthful and effective stories. They share both similarities and differences throughout. Comparing and contrasting the way the authors use their narration to achieve their intentions in the story will give us more idea how these stories are alike and distinct. First, these two stories are similar, because both the authors had chosen the same topic of people all over the world suffer in different ways of discrimination and that is why`` Sonny’s Blues`` and`` Desiree’s Baby`` are alike, because both authors use discrimination as their main theme. In ``Desiree’s Baby``, the author describes the importance of skin color when he says,``The yellow nurse woman sat beside a window fanning herself.
Certain Key points in the plot wouldn’t have been made available to the reader unless they were reading it from the characters themselves. The dairy form allows for an excellent understanding between the different character views, and how the views apply to the different characters. It adds a sense of connectivity between the characters and the reader while adding validity to the novels context. Extensive detailed descriptions about persons and items all through the novel is also a part of the diary form. An example can be seen in this quote, "As I looked, the eyes saw the sinking sun, and the look of hate in them turned to triumph.
The Great Gatsby Passage 2 Commentary F. Scott Fitzgerald gave his novel The Great Gatsby much more depth than is first observed by the reader. One can read the novel, and be completely enthralled by the story without noticing the complexity it contains. A closer look at the novel reveals so much more to the reader than could be imagined, by examining the careful word choice chosen by the author. In this passage, Fitzgerald makes particular use of his language to make evident the theme of pride. Pride can be a good thing, but it can often have negative connotations.
Perhaps most of his admirers will concede that not every Greene story is a gem; many, in fact, are undeniably slight. Several more, however - including "The Destructors," "Under the Garden," and "The Basement Room" - must be ranked among the best of their time. Greene composed these pieces, as Kelly notes, "along traditional lines": they show the influence of James, Maupassant, and Maugham. But they also display elements of the same style that marks Greene's longer fiction - including, as Kelly puts it, "crisp dialogue, clever similes, seedy atmospheres, and recurrent themes such as innocence and betrayal." They create a "unique vision of the world" shaped, Kelly argues, by Greene's "personal demons," including "a sense of betrayed innocence; an authoritarian and puritanical father; clever school bullies; fear of the dark, birds, and water; fear of and fascination with sexuality; fear of boredom."
In the end, they managed it together and each of their hopes comes true. The novel is one of the best-known stories in American popular culture. Children like it because it is a kind of good story, full of fun characters and exciting adventures. Adults, in case of its field and history, also like the novel because they can read between. When we concern on the symbols in the novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is no longer an innocent fairy tale, it has underlying meanings that symbolize various ideas of political interpretations as evidenced in its intrinsic unsure and its relation with ironic portraits of America in that era.
Epic’s and ballads, may be looked over as just two sorts of poetry among many. Between the two types of poetry, qualities show the resemblance along with some that set one apart for the other. Both have traits that immediately catch the reader's attention. As in the Epics strong attention to adventure and the ballads rhyme scheme. While both poems have traits that are similar, they have many more traits that differ from each other.
Finding similarities between them is really usual, by the reason that a lot of them have things in common, despite each one has a unique side. A movie is special by the message it is transmitting, that´s the reason I’m going to talk about two movies that made me think a lot. “The impossible” and “The Life of Pi” both of them are based in true stories and make us learn something, they are kind didactics movies. My objective is to compare and find some similarities between these two movies in plot, setting and gender. The plot in these two movies is kind the same.
Text vs Image As Brian Aldiss once said, “there are two kinds of writer: those that make you think, and those that make you wonder.” In the literary world there is a vast amount of different writers and contrasting forms of them. Some writers stick to traditional prose while others are more visual, creating comics, and even scripts that are adapted into movies, that tell stories in different ways. They each use different tools to give the reader the best possible understanding to each storyline and because of that they are separate entities, making comics just as effective when it comes to the act of realistic storytelling. Particularly in comics, messages are usually easier to understand than in prose due to the fact that images tend to reveal the message much quicker. In Spiderman comics, all the action and adventure that takes place is much more exciting due to the detail of the colors and font that is used.
