Compare And Contrast Daughter Of The Sea Hannah
Comparing and contrasting two fictional novels Telling the difference between two fictional novels is a simple task but finding a similarity within them both is a hard thing to do, or so you may think. When I think of the comparison of the two novels, which I need to pick, there are many books in which I have read before but none as interesting as what I am about to share. One of the books is “Daughter of the Sea, Hannah” by Kathryn Lasky. The other one is “The Fallen” by Thomas E. Sniegoski. Let us look at the differences between the two novels in the next paragraph. One of the differences is the thickness of the book and the size of the words. The novel “Daughter of the Sea, Hannah” is obviously for smaller kids around five to ten to …show more content…
Meanwhile “The Fallen” is squeezed with tiny little words and is bounded together in a thick stack. A teenager like me would read one of this. There are even more differences than these. The plot of “Daughter of the Sea, Hannah” revolves around an orphan girl as she gradually finds out more about herself as she grows up. She is not like a normal human being but actually something else... “The Fallen” is a novel about a teenage boy having odd events happening around him when he later finds out that he is actually the son of a fallen angel. These two novels have not only different kinds of themes but also different kinds of sentence structures. As you know that the novel “Daughter of the Sea, Hannah” is one for the lower grades to read, it will definitely be filled with simple sentences such as: “Whatever the creature …show more content…
One of it is the plot of these two books. In both stories, the main character is put into hard positions where they have to make decisions that might change they’re lives forever. Not only that, both main characters meet new people on their quest and also fall in love. I did not notice they were that similar until I really thought about it. When you read a novel, you do not usually compare the characters with others from another novel. But I noticed that between these two books, both the main characters are orphans and both have kind, caring and strong characteristics. Whereas for the villain, has a strange, cruel and twisted personality. Every good novel needs a good ending sentence. “Daughter of the Sea, Hannah” concludes its story with: “I am not alone! There is a world out there.” While “The Fallen” concludes its novel with: “By touch he found what was needed, a twelve-inch blade that glinted sharply in the beams of sunlight that streamed in through openings in the boarded-up windows.” The first word that came into my mind was confidence. Why? Because they show me that they have decided on what they clearly want to do and they will do not give up no matter what. Something really interesting about the similarities about these two books is that the authors of these two books had me thinking and reflecting to myself. I thought; “If I were to make an important decision in the future, will I choose the right one? Can

    There isn't really many comparing factors between the book and the movie but some are that Hannah opens the door to let in the prophet Elijah in both the book and the movie. Hannah tells stories to the women and children in her barrack in both the book and the movie and I think that those stories is probably what kept most of them alive throughout the movie. Rivka survives in both the book and the movie because Hannah wanted her to get out so she took her place to go into the gas chambers. Rivka later gets out of the amps and changes her name to Eva like she said she would in the movie to Hannah. Rivka later becomes Hannah's aunt Eva in both the book and the movie. Hannah goes to die for rivka in both the book and the movie. The contrast…

The boy is not very happy, so he blames his mom that he doesn’t have his father anymore. However, at the end the boy realizes that his mom’s the one that truly loves him.

    Of Mice and Men

    There isn't as many differences as there are similarities in the stories, but they are very noticeable, for example, in the book, Lennie is described as "big" and "dark around the eyes", but in the movie Lennie isn't fat and he is white so you can see his eyes clearly. To me, he looked pretty average except you can notice there is something wrong with him by the way he acted. There are many quotes in the book that aren't said in the movie. It's good to know that both stories aren't "exactly" the same. Then, if you read or watch one, you wouldn't have to read or watch the other. Unless you are supposed to be comparing or contrasting each, that's a different story!…

    One point of similarities and differences would be the characters and the relationships that the characters have in both stories, Night and Life is Beautiful. For example, there is a father-son relationship in each of the stories. In Night, the father, Shlomo, and the son, Elie, have a very special bond of love and appreciation toward one another, just like Joshua and Guido do to each other in Life is Beautiful. However, the difference between the two would be that at around the end of the book of Night, Elie's feelings toward his father would change at one period in the story. The reader notices the change when he says “free at last!” (Wiesel 112), yet this change did not happen to Joshua and Guido in Life is Beautiful. By Elie’s change of feeling toward his beloved father, this could change how the reader feels about him whether it is a positive…

    The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet and The Hunger Games are very alike with their love and violence, time period, and characters. There were many scenes of love in both of these plot lines that affected a lot of people.

Situations that are very different can also be very alike in different ways, when you are comparing the right…

    It is easy to notice a similarity on the surface of two things that look alike, but when two stories are completely different in their content, it is not easy to detect a similarity. For instance, after we read for the first time “The Necklace” by Guy De Maupassant and “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” by Mary Flannery O’Connor, we cannot connect these two tragedies together. Both were written in a different time by different authors, and they end in a different way. However, if we study deeply both stories, we can find their similarities even though their contexts are different. Although “The Necklace” and “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” are different tragedies, both of them focus on their main characters that suffer from pride, are manipulative, and change during the story.…
