Individuals' beliefs and attitudes are the product of the world they live in, and consequently these beliefs and attitudes are challenged when one moves into a new or different world. Both The Story Of Tom Brennan (2005) by J.C. Burke and The Door (When) by Miroslav Holub explore this notion of change through the experiences encountered when moving into different worlds.

Similarly, The Door demonstrates the benefits associated with exploring new worlds, and the growth that occurs as a result of that exploration. Nevertheless, despite their difference in medium and time of production, both texts demonstrate a change in an individuals beliefs and attitudes is product on moving into new and different worlds.…

S.E. Hinton was only 15 years old when she wrote this extremely detailed book. I liked her book a lot because of how much detail she put into it. I didn’t like the movie a lot because I was kind of expecting it to be a lot like the book but was disappointed when it left out many different parts of the book. While the book and movie have many similarities and differences, the book was more effective in telling the story.…

To some people knowledge is what powers society to new heights, to others however knowledge is just another word in the english language. There is a distinct difference between these two types of people making it so easy to compare and contrast them in many aspects. Fahrenheit 451 shows these two people in the world at an ongoing battle between each other which sets it up for quite the conflict. In Fahrenheit 451 Bradbury conveys that knowledge supersedes ignorance through Clarisse changing Montag, Montag getting Mrs Bowles out of his house, and showing the effects of television to society in negative ways.…

But when her granddaughter took her around town, and she saw the whirligig, she changed. Like the quote says “ I glimpsed a smile on my grandmother's face, and I felt it leed” (pg 114).
