There are many similarities that the two characters, but a few of them consist of both characters being hunters, liking books, being schematic, and…
“Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” by Lewis Carroll and “Gulliver’s Travels: A Voyage to Lilliput” by Jonathan Swift present the reader with two microcosms to aid in a de familiarization of the narrative. The secondary world is painted in extreme contrast to the primary world, therefore allowing the reader to see the customs, traditions and characters in the secondary world as separate from themselves. This allows them to judge the morality of their actions without their own cultural bias acting as a filter. The portal fantasies of Alice and Gulliver lead the reader into an unknown place, and ask them to learn of a secondary world, not unlike their own. The aim of these portal fantasies are to eventually allow the two worlds to bleed together,…
Another similarity I noticed were the timeframes that the two stories took place. The short story Gryphon took place around the mid to late…
While both authors used symbolism to convey the message of their stories the themes of the stories could not have been more different.…
These two stories have a couple of things in common. First, both authors focus their stories around the possible dangers of technology, and their destruction causes similar outcomes. Also, both are set in a time passed or near 2026. Lastly,…
Alice Childress is one of the most famous African American playwrights in the history of playwrights in America. She was born on October 12, 1920 in Charleston, North Carolina. When she was five years old she was sent to live with her grandmother. It is because of her grandmother that she became the woman she was. Childress was very important to America. In a book comprised of different plays it said, “Alice Childress is the only black women playwright in America whose plays have been written, produced, and published over a period of four decades” (Brown-Guillory, 98). The plays that were written by Childress introduce timeless thought provoking conversations about society. Two of her most influential plays were Florence and…
Looking closer, it is plain to see clear similarities between these two stories. These similarities even continue right down to the characters! I have found similarities between the characters Roger, from “Lord of the Flies”, and Shane, from “The Walking Dead”. Both Roger and Shane felt the pressure of the situations they were being thrown…
Another similarity in these pieces of Art works is that they each tell a story. This is not so obvious until you research the two pieces of Art. The Hunt of the Unicorn is a fictional story about a unicorn being alive again, chained and entrapped, but seemingly content in its paradise garden. It appears to be bleeding from the hunt wounds but actually those are pomegranate seeds and dripping juices from the stylized tree (Freeman). It is a story about love of all kind. Tar Beach is a fictional story of an African-American/Indian family who would sleep on the roof top of their apartment building on hot summer nights (Sayre). The story was…

William Faulkner’s short story “A Rose for Emily” carries a theme represented by a dying breed of that era, while using symbolism to represent tragedy, loneliness and some form of pride, the story also shows how far one will go to have the approval of others and the pursuit of happiness.…
There are two main similarities between the two novels. The first of these similar themes is that the books are both set in war time. The second similarity is that the protagonists in both of the stories are all children. They therefore have no adults for support, guidance or supervision.…
By unfolding the story through secondary sources, Emily Bronte creates curiosity in the reader’s mind, causing them to wonder as to the events which occurred before Lockwood’s arrival at Thrushcross Grange. Lockwood’s narrative causes readers to enter the story when the majority of events have already taken place.…
Although the settings are very different, one taking place in 14th century Scotland and the other in modern day America, the ideas of both texts are similar,…
These pieces are unique, but they do share some similarities. One similarity is that they are both written in first person, the characters are talking about themselves and their experiences. The most obvious similarity in my opinion is that they are both fantasy. They both talk about doing things that are inconceivable. They make you believe that the impossible is possible. The people in these stories might be thought of as magical or other-worldly because flying and walking through walls defy the laws of physics.…
Within the first minute of the movie, I realized there were going to be many considerable differences. Having watched other book to movie adaptations before, I was mindful that not everything can be included in an only two hour film, but I was not expecting so many things to be removed or altered. Honestly, the movie felt very focused on the court case, thus eliminating other equally important scenes. The book, on the other hand, made the court case a major event but not the main focus, choosing to also emphasize settings like First Purchase Church, the conversation Scout and Dill have with Mr. Raymond, and the characters of Aunt Alexandra and Mrs. Dubose. All of which were not included in the movie.…
