Comparing Boy's Life And Emancipation A Life Fable
Both text have a similar theme, they both compare someone being trapped in something. Both characters want to escape what they are trapped in. For example, in the story "Boy's Life" the character is stuck in school and can’t wait until the bell rings. Which means that he is trying to leave or escape the place he is in, but he is held for a longer time because the teacher wants to discuss something with him and he doesn’t pay attention when she is talking to him which means he doesn’t have patience to listen all he wants to do is leave.

Another example that both stories are similar is that in the story, "Emancipation A Life Fable" is the animal in the story want to escape the cage to see what is beyond he closed door. Every time he tries to exit the door he

For example, one story talks about a kids last day in school. The other story talks about an animal in a cage. One difference between the stories is one of the characters is leaving a cage the other is a kid trying to leave school as quick as possible. Another difference is one of the stories has dialogue and the other one doesn’t.

Another difference is one story has an onomoepea and the other one doesn’t. For example, in the story "from Boy's Life" it says "TICK . . . TICK . . . TICK." Which is an onomonopea because onomonopea is a sound and "TICK" is a sound. In the story “Emancipation: A life Fable” doesn’t have and sort of sound or dialogue.

The most important thing that makes the stories different is the setting and the plot. Both stories may have a similar theme but the setting and plot it what separates them. For example, one story takes place in a cage and the other story takes place in a school. The climax in each story is different from each other. For example, in the story “from Boy’s Life” the student was so desperate to leave the class when the teacher told the class to leave in a single line, which makes the reader wonder what happens

    Most of the characters are the same in both stories. In both the movie and the book, you still have characters like Hannah, Rivka, Shmuel, Fayge, Esther, a baby, lots of kids and adults, and the Natzi army people. So as you can see, there are lots of similar characters in the book and the movie. As well as the characters, the plots are the same in some parts of the two genres. For example, there is a scene in the movie that shows four people trying to escape the camps. Similarly, in the book, there are four people trying to escape. Also, the people at the camps do work of some sort. In the movie, they are digging holes in the dirt. In the book, they are working in the kitchens. Therefore, the fact that they are working is the same. Those were ways to show how the plot can be alike. Another way the two stories are the same is the theme of the movie and the book. The theme is “Remember, never forget.” In the book, Hannah tells Rivka to remember and to not forget. Likewise, in the movie Rivka’s mom say’s, “We need to remember, do not forget.” That’s the way that theme is the same in both of the…

    To better the story an author will include some sort of way to make the story stand out. Some examples of these would be included in the story "In Response to Order 9066" by Dwight Okita, and “Mericans” by Sandra Cisneros. Both stories have the common theme in them causing a reaction from the readers. One way they are similar is the style they use. One difference is how different the stories about the similar topics are from one another.…

    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…

    One is extremely sensitive and attention-wanting, while the other is mature and mellow. One takes an idea way too far and causes an extreme internal conflict, which he will never hear the end of, while the other unintentionally causes a short-term external conflict which barely includes himself. These two characters also learn completely different things. One learns of his actual strength and that he doesn’t have inflammatory rheumatism, where the other character doesn’t lear anything except maybe to be more careful where and how he sets up his cot. When you think about it, though, there are also some big similarities between the two. For example both of these characters, intentionally or not, are the main responsibility for the story’s conflict. Both of the characters’ conflicts also involve their families. Lastly, they both lie during the story and learn it doesn’t pay off in the end. The similarities and differences between these two characters is just one small example of the many different characters in short stories. Next time you read a short story, think about what they do, and do not have in…

    A majority amount of stories may have a similar trait to another piece of writing. A large amount of stories have been compared in ways such as theme, settings, characters, irony, and close evidence of foreshadowing. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and “There Will Come Soft Rains,” by Ray Bradbury are an example of similar stories by sharing some of the same qualities. These two readings can be said to be identical in some ways by containing a common idea of negative effects of war and the value of the natural world but can be contrasted by being consisted of two different kinds of main characters.…
