    “The Monkey’s Paw” written by W.W. Jacobs was not the best written short story using literary terms including characterization in many ways. For characters, it gives the reader hardly any details about the characters. This makes it difficult for the reader to make a good connection to the story. The reader only knows some of the relationships between the character’s, but barely any personality traits. “The Gift of the Magi” written by O. Henry was not the best written short story using literary terms such as conflict either. The conflict that was identified in this story was not very important. There were many other ways to solve their problem, and also avoid the situational irony that occurred at the end of the story. “Man from the South” written by Roald Dahl was not the best written short story using literary terms such as a strong situational irony as well. For situational irony, it wasn’t shocking that the old man was up to something suspicious. From the beginning of the story, you could tell that the old man was trying to mess with the young boy and trying to fool him and make him do something that he might regret later. It was no surprise to the reader that he was going to do something unexpected and that he would turn out to be hiding…

    For example in the stories there is a difference in the ways of preparation between the characters. In the article, “Survival is the Ultimate Goal in World’s Toughest Sled Dog Race,” The author explains that, “sleds[are] loaded with food, kibble, and survival supplies.” whereas in the story, “To Build a Fire,” the man is only prepared with food and matches. This means that the people racing are way more prepared than the man in the short story. In the same articles/stories it includes more differences, one being that they both take very different amounts of time. In the article about, “Survival is the Ultimate Goal in World’s Toughest Sled Dog Race,” it says that the race lasts up to ten days! In the short story, “To Build A Fire,” the man only lasted 12 hours before dying. This shows that there was a huge difference in the difficulty of the journey. Therefore there is a numerous amount of differences in the two articles/stories. In conclusion the stories have countless amounts of differences and similarities that can be…

    For example, both tones were serious at some point. On the other hand in Life is Beautiful, the tone was also light-hearted and humorous. The movie would do this by transitioning from a serious scene to a humorous scene with the occasional help of music. An example of this, would be Guido getting his son’s jacket and a blanket to disguise himself as a woman. In Night, the tone would remain serious and somber. By only having this tone, this would give the reader a more realistic approach toward the Holocaust. For instance, Elie witnesses the hanging of a child who was struggling to keep himself alive (Wiesel…

    One month ago, Mack Beggs, a high school senior, earned the Texas girls’ state championship and completed a perfect season. Mack Beggs is a transgender boy.
