Compare And Contrast The Sisters
o The interplay between ages in Clay is similar to that in The Sisters because of the mentor/mentee type relationship between the older and younger generations. In The Sisters, the narrator is a young boy who frequently visited Father Flynn (a priest) to hang out until Father Flynn passed away. Father Flynn and the narrator spent a lot of time together, so much time that the narrator’s family members began to suspect ill behavior on part of Father Flynn because they felt the relationship between the two was “unhealthy”. The narrator doesn’t confirm or deny the allegations but he later admits to feeling uncomfortable around Father Flynn. This is the main difference between this motif in both stories because in Clay, Maria and Joe grow up and

    Comparing Fences 'And' Tell Me How Long The Train's Been Gone

    This could be one of the only things that these two stories have in common, the theme. After that they really don’t have much in common concerning that theme. As seen in “Fences” by August Wilson, Troy and his sons have a real bad relationship. Troy is bitter and harsh. He has done many things for his sons, mostly Cory, to lose a lot of respect for him. It’s almost the complete opposite for the short story “Tell Me How Long the Train’s Been Gone” by James Balwin. Caleb and Leo don’t have as nearly as bad a relationship with their father. Compared to Troy and his sons, Caleb, Leo and his father have a good relationship. Leo’s father talks to them and tells him about how he feels. Like when he talks to his sons about how he feels about being there in Harlem during that time. They have communication, something Troy and his sons don’t have. The only problem with Leo, Caleb and their father would be that he gets drunk on the weekends. This theme, father/son relationships is one of the many themes that these two stories have. It can be used as a point of comparison for the two stories, but it seems to be the only thing they have in common involving the theme, just the…

    Two Similar Women of the 1800’s”

    During the time of the 1800’s women did not have many rights. Their main obligation in life was to marry young and take care of the house and the children, while the husband did all the physical things such as work and bring in an income. Women had very few rights during this time. It was almost like they were ruled by a man, that man being their husband. Although, in love with this man or just living the life of that era, they could not speak for themselves and were expected to live by the rules of the men they married. Women lived a very unequal unsatisfying lifestyle. In the stories “The Yellow Wallpaper” and “The Story of an Hour” both women are living very similar lives during the same era; lives of which were all but their own. Both of the women in these stories are characteristically the same, they both have wishes they were living lives of their own, both suffer from an illness developed by their husbands, and both women use parts of a room to symbolize their feelings.…

    When you compare The Hunt of the Unicorn and Tar Beach you will see many similarities that are visible to the eye without doing any research. The first of which is the dark backgrounds. They both have lighter colors in them that make the picture stand out, but a majority of the colors are dark. They are calm and flow well there is not a lot happening in each piece of art. In each there is one piece that is a little active. In the Hunt of the Unicorn, the unicorn is in motion, and in Tar Beach the girl is flying across the bridge.…

    All interesting authors expose their readers to experience the essence of the story. In this case, Toni Cade Bambara uses the illustration of her short story “The Lesson”, in order to convey the reality of a 1960’s ghetto, African American community through the eyes of a young girl named Sylvia. Sylvia is a young, fearless girl who has an audacious and outspoken nature despite her constant use of profanity and insulting judgments of Miss Moore. Moreover, Toni Bambara’s technique of literacy in this piece is written in a way that transport the readers to another cultural setting that is condemned by a helpless cycle of economic poverty, which Miss Moore attempts to prevent for the future generation. In addition, Toni Cade Bambara uses her colorful style of tone to express the realism and individualistic characteristic of the urban black community of the 1960s through the use of AAVE, which stands for “African American Vernacular English.” Through this unique style of writing, Toni Bambara’s goal is to challenge or even question society of its unfair economy.…

    The most interesting short stories that caught my undivided attention were: “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and “Jealous Husband Returns in Form of Parrot” by Robert Olen Butler. These stories were both fascinating and intriguing in the sense that they made me feel like if I was the actual character. You could feel the pain and anguish the characters felt, even the desperation. It got to a point that I felt pity for the protagonist whom in both stories where narrating. Here we can see how someone can feel so desperate that they think the only way out is by taking their lives. Both Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Robert Olen Butler created an incredible form of fiction that makes you question if the scenes in the stories can truly happen in reality.…

    In both Essays “Just Walk On By” by Brent Staples and “The Myth Of The Latin Women” by Judith Coffer, both authors talked about how people stereotyped in the world especially by self situations. But to me there’s a difference between thinking your being stereotyped to misunderstanding. Both of these articles talks about the authors and how they were stereotyped for either being Hispanic or black but I believe one of them is right and the other is a misunderstanding. The way I can depict this is the three topics that differ the authors and their essays. Their details are different and their tones and somewhat of their urban past because one grew up in in the United States and one grew up in Mexico.…

    Throughout the years, many scholars, politicians, scientist, and psychologist have performed many studies and have researched how to improve education. Education is a tool that we need to survive in this world (Oak, 2011).

The question is can economic and social factors play an intricate part to the education success of young lives. Paulo Freire and William W.
