Moses Vs Miyax
Have you ever thought about how dissimilar people can be? People can be different, especially when comparing and contrasting real people and fictional people. Miyax from the book Julie of the Wolves, and Moses a biblical prophet.

Miyax, for example, is a 13-year-old Eskimo lost in the snowy tundra of Alaska. She is trying to get to San Francisco, to find her pen pal, and is hoping to find her father along the way. She follows Kapugen’s beliefs about animals and life. Kapugen supposedly died on a seal hunting trip, so Miyax married a boy named Daniel. She quickly regretted doing so. Then, she ran away. This story took place in Alaska in the 1940s.

Moses, however, is a 120-year-old who lived in 1300 B.C., he lived in Egypt for his childhood.

    I am not alike this character in many ways. I don’t have any little brothers with disabilities, or little brothers at all. Nor do I want to suffocate them with a pillow. I’m not embarrassed of my brothers, for any type of reason. I don’t call my brothers names, so people don't expect much from them. I don’t think they’re a let down, they’re quite great, intelligent, and impressive people. Of course this character is a very round character, from the beginning to the end of the story the change quite a bit. I definitely relate to the character at the end of the story, but hardly at all in the beginning.…

    For example, in The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street, and The Giver, the characters are alike because they show paranoia because they were second guessing their peers, they acting like leaders to their community, and also because they want to protect themselves so that nothing bad happens to them, or their loved ones. Both of these texts proves that just because the plot or structure of the story is completely different, it does not mean that the characters have to be different. In fact, it shows that the books are very alike, and they are also very relatable. The characters truly show that they are dependable, trustworthy, and brave to their…

    Many people in this world will believe in the first impression they get. The appearance people see will usually satisfy them without further investigating into the reality of a situation. The difference between appearance and reality can be quite different. This also applies to literature. There are many instances where an author will describes a character as kind, but is actually deceptive and mean. In the novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, there are characters and situations that show how appearances can differ from reality. The three main instances are the Grangerford and Shepherdson feud, through the Duke and the Dauphin, and Miss Watson.…

    Moses Versus Odysseus

    • 1596 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Odysseus and Moses represent the standard hero, which is one scarred with imperfections—a hero that commits crimes, lies, deceives, is in some sense immoral. Moses as an adolescent murdered an Egyptian who was pestering a Hebrew man (Exodus, 45) whereas, Odysseus betrays his faithful wife by having affairs with several women, such as Calypso and Circe. Odysseus’s crave for adventure and Moses’ violence show that both Hebrew culture and Greek culture are accepting of a tarnished hero only because their gods ordained it. The fact that the hero was an instrument of the gods was equally important to both cultures. Moses was picked to be the savior of Jews by God. He was to be the one who would free the Jews and take them across the desert to a safe haven. He spoke directly with God, via the burning bush and various angels and, was given specific instructions on what to do and how to do it leading the Jews out of Egypt. Similarly, Athena visited Odysseus frequently under Zeus' consent and different disguises. She freed Odysseus from the obsessive love of calypso by sending Hermes as a messenger, to warn calypso. She also approached others, indirectly aiding Odysseus. As a disguised mentor, she encouraged Telemachus to take a stand to the suitors and to take a journey of his own in search of his father, restoring his hope. She sent the Phaencian Princess Nassiuca done to water to wash her clothes resultantly finding Odysseus. Both Hebrew and Greek culture value the idea of their god or gods choosing devotees for particular tasks.…

Therefore, their similarities go a long way. The character Arthur Dimmesdale comes from the novel The Scarlet Letter. Due to the complexity of being the legitimate father to Hester Prynne’s baby, Dimmesdale reacts in a rather negative way. Melinda Sordino resides in the book Speak, and her equivalent reaction comes from the fact that she was raped, and blames the incident on herself. In both novels, characters Dimmesdale and Melinda relate a great deal as a result of self harm, isolation, and their struggles internally.…

    As we look around us we notice that we are different. The differences can be small, such as in twin siblings, or they can be big, such as in neighbors. The size and shape of our bodies, the color of our skin, or even how we fix our hair are physical differences that can be seen on the outside. However, what about the differences we cannot see? Some people are born to be leaders. We all have different beliefs. Every person’s attitude differs on what they perceive.
