Viewers love action packed movies which are full of suspense. In 2005, the best television series drama was Prison Break by Paul Scheuring, and another action packed movie in 2013 is Escape Plan by Mikael Hafstrom. These two have similar plots, and the genres are action and drama. The main character of Prison Break is Michael Scofield who is a structural engineer, and Ray Breslin, the main character of Escape Plan, is also a structural engineer. They are both leaders of break outs, which they planned. The movie and TV series have some similarities and differences. The characters have similar characteristics, but they differ in how they break out of prison and their reasons for breaking out of prison.
One of their similarities is in character traits. The two main characters are very intelligent. Also, they are structural engineers. It is likely that they knew very well about how to break out of prison, and they had some tools to break out of prison. They also had friends who helped them. Another similarity is they both were innocent, but they committed a crime that caused them to go to jail. The final similarity is that they both broke out of prison two different times in the movie and TV series.
The first major difference is how they broke out of prison. Michael got tattoos which concealed a map of the jail, so he could use this as a guide. However, Ray Breslin already knew the structure of the prison because he was the world’s foremost authority on structural security. Michael had a lot of friends and his brother, Lincoln, who helped him break out of prison. Michael made a hole through the wall of his room behind his toilet, and he used metal to make a hole. Finally, Michael and another convict made a hole into the sewer, and they ran away from prison. Michael also used the same idea for the second time he broke out of another prison. Unlike Michael, Ray Breslin was able to copy the pin number for the door of his cell by using plastic from a milk carton.

    The story and the movie compare to each other so well due to several different reasons. First off, both of these are based off of true stories which is really upsetting if you think about it because people during both times were getting falsely accused of crimes. That means that innocent people were getting punished because of someone else’s false accusations. Another thing that is similar about them is when…

    is they both give powerful information of the racial inequality that occurs in the prisons. The film and novel advocates for change. While there are people simply sitting in prison who are too poor and facing the struggles. There are people who are wealthy and treated differently. This inequality needs to stop. The novel and the film relate as change must happen. We must advocate for change and hope for it, as our prison system consists of dehumanization. People are treated differently. Prisons keep people like animals and society does not understand this. Prisons do really little to rehabilitate prisoners ,so they can transition back into society. This needs to change, as it is important people are given the opportunity to transition well into society. And not end up in prison. Looking back Angela Davis' book and the documentary 13th, they both advocate for hope to change the mass incarceration system. If there is a change in within the mass incarceration system, optimistically trust will be restored between law enforcement and society. Inequality still exists and that needs to change. Let’s start with…

    Each individual prison, whether it is at the state or federal level, portrays a set of specific characteristics. Traits such as an individual’s social standing, crime record, and severity of offense have played a role in assigning these characteristics for centuries. A prime example of this ideal can be seen in the sentencing’s of such offenders as Martha Stewart, Ivan Boesky, Michael Milken, Manual Noriega, Timothy McVeigh, Terry Nichols, Al Capone, and John Gotti. The conditions under which Stewart, Boesky, Milken, and Noriega were incarcerated could be called luxurious in comparison to those in which McVeigh, Nichols, Capone, and Gotti were held. It is easily noticed that the people placed into these two groups bare several similarities in not only there social standing, but in the nature of their offense as well.…

    position with the Division of Economic Security (DES)?’ this is my response. Over the years I have held several different office type jobs. I started out as a temporary worker for DES, in a file room in the Child Support Division. I was required to build files for different units; maintain a log of the files that were being received, transferred out, and sent to the warehouse. The files sent to the warehouse were given a secondary number by the warehouse, in case a file had to be retrieved; this was the tracking system that allowed the warehouse to locate the appropriate file. I worked in DES as a Customer Service Representative (CSR) for the Family Assistance Administration (FAA). As a CSR I was required to perform a wide range of clerical duties; distributing mail/inter-office mail and faxes, pulling and filing files in the file room, registering/scheduling incoming applications, ensuring the case managers had their list of appointments for the day and the incoming paperwork that accompanied it, answering the switchboard to guide/answer incoming calls from consumers, and scan information the case managers had gathered from the consumers into the system. The position as a CSR proved tested my ability to multi-task and to prioritize and re-prioritize with the day to day changes.…

    I had never truly experienced fear, until I was chased by a Doberman on crack. When, I was seven years old my family and I lived in a three apartment duplex in Reno, Nevada. One hot summer day, I was playing outside in the backyard with my younger sister Emily and my friend Josie. We were kicking dirt clods around the yard with unbridled enthusiasm, when Emily suddenly stops. With her curly redhead cocked to the side, she tells us that she thought she heard a high pitched whine coming from “over thattaway”. In this case, “over thattaway” meant the chain link fence of our less than friendly neighbors’ yard. All three of us rushed over toward the fence to investigate this new source of entertainment. Once there, we heard the unmistakable whine of a puppy in distress. Well, we couldn’t let that continue! It was our duty to help the little animal. Besides, we reasoned that our parents might let us keep any aforementioned animal as a pet. So, we began to earnestly call out to the puppy. Suddenly there was a flash of deep-russet fur. Standing directly in front of us was a very large female Doberman pincher. Her legs were stiff; her muscles quivered; her yellowed fangs glistened with spit. She filled the area with her deep rumbling growl of rage and challenge. All rational thought fled. I couldn’t move or speak. It felt like someone seized my heart with an iron grip and squeezed. I couldn’t get enough air. I barely heard my sister hiss at us to run on three. Then I was just moving. The world narrowed. Sounds of running, skittering claws on stone, screaming, and barking were all jumbled together. I had to get away from the horrible thing that chased us. I leapt over a three foot gate and I was somehow in my mother’s arms bawling. My sister was right beside me, but nowhere did I see Josie. I found out later that the neighbors had been feeding the dog cocaine. The dog and her puppies had to be destroyed.…

    Each person is different, so it varies on each individual. Usually, one has to practice whatever it is they are trying to learn. For example, if playing a game you should read instructions if there are any. Retaining this information is one step in the process of learning the game. Once you actually 'play' the game you get an understanding of it. After this is accomplished, you may continue 'practicing' until you are satisfied with your progress. So, let me tell a story of my learning English experienced. My friends say that i'm good in English, because I always get good marks in English tests and I have just scored the highest points in the interview. They think I’m a talented girl and I’m clever at English from the beginning. But in fact, I’m not a talented girl. I’m just a common girl. I’d like to say something about my experienced on didn't do well in English in the beginning. I started my English course at the age of 10. Maybe you can't imagine, I couldn't say a whole sentence at that time. I couldn't catch up with my classmates because of my bad base. Having a bad base may be many students' problem. I was sad about it, I spent almost all of my free time practicing English by listening to the tape and repeating after it. Whenever it was, wherever I was, I kept the tape on. I listened carefully and I tried to recite the articled of it. Once of learning English, soon, I found I had made a good progress in my English. At least, I could understand what the teacher said in class. Then slowly, I could get good marks at times. This taught me a good lesson. That is not to be afraid of setbacks, hard work makes progress. This is the first part of my English learning. When I was in grade six and seven, my English was much better than it was. I could always get good marks in tests. My English skills still couldn't compare with the top students in my class. My spoken English was really poor. I got bad result in my spoken English test at the end of the…

    It was a sunny day in Dallas on the 10th day of July, 2014. I had a united airline boarding pass in my hand, waiting in this long line with my boyfriend as we embark on our first vacation for Dubai, United Arab Emirate. He is from a family of 6. He was the last born of the family. I had known him for about 6months and during that time I had grown very fond of him. Our relationship began to flourish and that in the near future we would begin to grow closer. We both needed a break from our stress filled lives and I was hoping I could help him overcome whatever tragedy happen in his life because I didn’t understand why he was depressed and get drunk most of the time. He had told me about few things that has transpired between him and his past relationship, but it just didn’t explain all of his emotional problems. Throughout the plane ride, He spent most of the time asking the flight attendants for tasty juice and alcohol. He looked out the window with longing eyes. His eyes seem to be passing a message across to me, but I don’t quite understand. I didn’t understand what was missing from his life.…
