The Hound Of The Baskervilles By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
In Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s mystery novel, The Hound of the Baskervilles, two of the characters, Watson and Sherlock Holmes have an extremely complicated relationship. In the real world if someone treated another person like how Sherlock treats Watson, the other person would not be friends with them. They would not be friends with them, because being treated like that makes a person look non amiable. Although Sherlock thinks he is treating Watson right, he is treating him that exact opposite of right. Dr. Watson is proven to be a benefit, as well as a detriment, throughout his training, he helps out a lot through questioning people. Sherlock Holmes speaks to Watson as if he is talking down to him, just as if they have no respect for each other.

    The fairy tale Beauty and the Beast opens with the characters of a rich merchant and his six children, three boys and three girls. "The two eldest girls were vain of their wealth and position" (22), but the youngest girl, the prettiest of the three, had a more pleasing personality, humble and considerate. This youngest daughter was so beautiful even as a child that everyone called her Little Beauty. She was just as lovely as she grew up so that she was never called by any other name, a fact that made her sisters extremely jealous. All three girls had numerous marriage proposals - the two eldest always turned their suitors away with the declaration that they had no intentions of marrying anyone less than a duke or an earl.

    The Fox and the Hound

    The relationship between Tod and Copper was like the relationship between black and white kids in the 1970s. Whilst their parents would be against it, they see no harm in playing with each other. People are expected to conform to their roles they have in society. I chose this particular movie because not only is it a classic, but it is a very deep movie with adult themes. The mix of characters, each different and pursuing a different goal, combined with as subtle mix of themes, makes this a winner. The Fox and the Hound is about society and the roles we are expected to conform to.…

To receive power in one’s life, they bring out strong emotions, such as fear or guilt to persuade the person to obey their commands. But, these people are simply exercising their power, and only have a relationship with them asymmetrically. The person will authority has the ability to limit the choices of another, and uses physically or psychologically pain only to pursue their goal.

    Bram Stoker's Dracula

    Why do humans always become disappointed when their favorite novels become films? It is because adaptations of films tend to sway from the truth of the novels. The same common belief may be illustrated in both the film and the novel, but major alterations are made in the film to make it more exciting, attention grasping, and addicting. Dracula by Bram Stoker is just another novel made into the film Bram Stoker’s Dracula by Francis Ford Coppola. Distinct changes take place from the novel on paper to the film on the screen. The characters of Dracula, Lucy, and Mina tend to share some of the same characteristics in both the film and novel, but the movie changes aspects of the characters to be more sensational and dramatic. Just as the characters are changed and reshaped, the plot has tweaks of its own. The novel and the film have similarities, but the differences are clearly visible.…
