While comparing these both stories all of the characters are poor, and cannot afford a Christmas present for one another. The stories are both similar in that the characters are all very determined to get each other the best present they could to show how much they cared for one another.

The setting and characters in the video were all from Sesame street, whereas in the Magi story, it was a young human couple living in a poor house that took place a long time ago. They also

    In all of the movies that we had watched in class, Aladdin and The Little Mermaid has the best relationship between comparing and contrasting. In both of the movies, there is one daughter in each movie who rebelled to find their true love. In The Little Mermaid, Ariel rebelled and went to the surface to search for her prince, but in Aladdin, Jasmine rebelled the law by not accepting the prince who came to see if she's the right girl for them.

    Traditions bring people together for a purpose of handing down beliefs or customs from generation to generation. The tradition could be for a joyous purpose like Thanksgiving or Christmas, and even a sorrowful purpose like funerals or a date like September 11. In “Mending Wall” the tradition brought two neighbors together each year to repair any damage made to their fence. However, in “The Lottery” the tradition brings the whole town together to sacrifice one person drawn in the lottery in hopes of bringing a bountiful harvest. While many traditions are important to hold over, in some instances it is essential to abolish traditions that have outrun their time in this modern age. For instance there was a law to forbid people from carrying pliers that could cut a fence made in the old days when there was the open range in Texas. Now there is no open range in Texas therefore we do not need the law anymore. The speaker in “Mending Wall” used repairing the fence as a symbol of ridding old traditions while in The Lottery everyone kept up the tradition even though people showed fear.…

    The similarities in the movie and the story were they had the setting and everything the same. It also had the same characteristics. The man and the dog looked looked just like they were described in the story. And it looked like the man didn't have an imagination like it said in the story. Both were descriptive and fun to do.

In the original movie adaptation, Dorothy kills the Wicked Witch of the East causing the Wicked Witch of the West to avenge her sister by making Dorothy pay. The Wicked Witch of the West has become a common archetype for the definition of a “wicked witch” with her long nose, green skin, and black hat.
