Molly Curcio November 13, 2011 Comparative Thesis Paper In both Deborah Tannen’s “Different Words, Different Worlds, and Anna Quindlen’s Between the Sexes, A Great Divide” an explanation is given about the differences between women and men. Both authors share some common themes. However, there are definitely major differences. Quindlen’s piece is not only significantly shorter but her writing style, examples, and opinions are a bit different. Tannen’s writing is lengthy, personal, analytical and well sourced.

Nicholas Yu Collison AP English Language and Composition 13 October 2013 The Cold Blooded Journalist Our world is rapidly changing, morphing itself to suit the needs of people around the world. Journalism is no exception, as it has metamorphosed through advances in technology and new opinions that many people hold. However, Journalism’s goals remain constant, and throughout the novel In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, Capote attempts to fulfill many of them. Although Capote is not an ideal journalist, Truman functions as an outstanding storyteller, effective aggregator, and imperfect moral leader because he forms strong interpersonal relations with those he finds important to his writing, and because of his frequent use of repetition to
Amy Tan and Maya Angelou come from diverse cultures, but both face the same harsh society of the American culture and beliefs. Both authors discuss their problems and culture differences in their stories. Tan and Angelou each tell about situations in their short stories of being outcasts and coming from different racial backgrounds and trying to overcome these obstacles. Angelou and Tan both have different approaches and style in their writing. I have found some similarities and differences in “Fish Cheeks” and “Champion of the World”.

The comparison of the language, society and other various aspects shown in 'The Acid House', to that of the Sherlock Holmes' short story mentioned above, reveals two very different forms of history and the developments, but also degradation, of certain features included in both. An example of the changes in history between the two stories, is strongly seen in the language and dialect used by both authors. In 'The Adventure of the Speckled Band', the language and form of dialect used by the characters is typical to what we would think of English gentlemen and ladies of that era would use. The choice of words and sentence structure used by Sherlock, and the other figures in the short story, are, in itself, part of history, a way of speaking which is no longer used or carried out in today's society. For example, at the beginning of the story Sherlock is faced with a woman who is clearly afraid of the situation she is in.
Time could not support the demands that Gatsby was making. Gatsby catching the clock and his apology symbolizes the sensitivity of his plan and how necessarily his methods were.

Each symbol used throughout the novel has its own meaning to a specific idea or situation between characters. Symbols are very important in literature and they help add meaning to certain text or objects within the piece of writing.

In his novel Aldous Huxley compares and contrasts various characters. Bernard Marx and John the Savage had been chosen for this purpose. Do they really have much in common ?
The Tell-Tale Heart Assignment: We notice that some details in Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” make a literal reading of the story rather difficult. Advance and defend a figurative reading of the story consistent with the story’s details. Poe seems to focus on creating mood throughout his story. Many symbols in this story are interpreted in several different ways depending on the reader. These symbols throughout the story include the old mans eye, the heartbeat and the contradiction between love and hate in which I will be talking about in this paper.
