The time when Johnny screamed Boo!, he caught his dad totally by surprise and that triggered his instincts from the war. After realizing that it was just his son, he "melted, right there before me, his body slumping down like warm wax...He wouldn't look at me." His feelings overwhelmed him with sadness and terror from the days as a prisoner of war which he so desperately wanted to forget. The wooden locker boxes represent Johnny's father because all the memorabilia is stashed away in there and it is padlocked with a oily bronze lock accumulating dust in the tool shed.

    A major difference is the character Johnny. In the book we heard of him, in the movie we met him. Johnny is Bella’s love interest. In the story we knew very little about Johnny. We knew he had a reading handicap and he was an usher at a movie theater. In the movie Johnny and Bella take a walk in the park in the afternoon. Bella didn’t ask to be introduced to his parents because she’s never been to his house in the book. In the play write everything Bella and Johnny did was at night and after a movie. Bella also did more things in the movie she wasn’t as clueless as she was in the book.…

    In the story “The Ransom of Red Chief” The two characters Bill and Johnny, or the Red Chief, as he likes to be called, do not get along very well, or rather, Bill is not very fond of Johnny at all. This is for a multitude of reasons, like the time that the other character Sam is off doing things like mailing letters to Johnny’s father, Bill is forced to look after Johnny, and has to play a few games with him. Like for instance the time that Johnny pretended Bill was a horse and rode him around for awhile. This would be enough for most people to just want to be away from this child as quickly as possible, but Johnny also repeatedly attacks him, barely stopped by Sam. Whether on purpose or in the play world, Johnny tries to scalp Bill and bash…

    Johnny Tremain is a Dynamic character. In the beginning of the book he never would think before he talked for example when he offered to fix Mr. Hancock cup and Mr. Lapham thought he shouldn’t have done it. During the first battles of the war Johnny sneaks past British soldiers by saying things in a mature way that makes sense whereas in the early parts of the book he would have been stopped and told to go away or maybe even tortured for information of killed. Rab helped him much with maturing and thinking before he does things.…

    In addition, both stories had a well developed conflict of Jim Smiley being tricked by the stranger through character development and detailed scenes and descriptions. There were, although, some differences in the conflict that I noticed; for one thing, the play only had one conflict and the short story had two. In the play, Jim was tricked by the stranger and was angry about it for a long time. In the short story, it had two conflicts. One with Jim Smiley being tricked and the other one about the narrator trying to learn about Leo Smiley but coming up empty…

    Ransom Death Essay

    • 1251 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Silhouetted against the backdrop of a war-torn Troy, David Malouf’s Ransom explores the inner conflict and grief caused by the loss of loved ones. The rage of Achilles, so central to the dramatic structure of the Illiad, is portrayed by Malouf as an expression of the most deeply instinctive, primal emotions, unmediated by cultural or social code, an innate human response in its most raw “animal” state. The depths of Achilles’ rage, his refusal to be consoled after the death of Patroculus is mirrored in the pain felt by Priam - the sense of loss that he experiences is no less intense. Throughout his novel, Malouf explores the idea that men from starkly different backgrounds can be united through common experience and their underlying humanity the most explicit of these experiences, which all men feel is pain and anguish resulting from the death of a loved one. Malouf suggests that the death of a loved one is a harrowing affair, plunging men into a ‘clogging grey web’, which can only be liberated through the expression of self and the connection to one’s true humanity. The power of death as a common experience for mortals is further compounded as Malouf advocates that men, even from different socio-economic backgrounds can forge a connection based on their similar emotions, as depicted through Priam’s connection with the ‘ordinary’ carter, Somax. Death, as the final experience of all mortals, is shown to be able to catalyse deeply human connections between men, through which Malouf draws an allusion to the cyclical nature of life and death.…

    This seemed very weird that she knew Billy was coming before he even rang her doorbell. In the story, the landlady already had the bed made for any guest to stay. Furthermore, in the video, the landlady taxidermies Billy after he dies from the cyanide. The author of the video alters the plot because it gives more suspense to the viewers. In the story, it leaves the reader hanging, but it gives the reader a clue that something was going to happen. In the video, the landlady also taxidermied the two boys who went missing. The author of the video continues the story so the viewers knew what happened to Billy. All and all, the story and the video have many similarities and differences.…
