    “When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house‚ I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home.” In The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton‚ Ponyboy is not the ordinary fourteen- year- old boy for he is a greaser‚ a poor person known to be a public disgrace from the East side of town. All of his life he has been living as a nothing compared to the Socs‚ the rich kids from the West-side. He doesn’t know if he should be proud of who he is until his entire world

    parents want their kids to read the book then watch the movie. But why?

    a more in-depth way; they make readers bringing up different question for their appearance‚ purpose‚ and the idea they symbolize. Beowulf and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight‚ two of the earliest great stories of English literature‚ do not disappoint the readers and present us with Grendel‚ Grendel’s mother‚ the Dragon‚ and the Green Knight. The two poems similarly describe the protagonists’ encounters with these unworldly characters in three patterns‚ Beowulf’s three great battles with the

    without getting bored of it. We also just finished the movie today with Carrie Fisher which was weird not seeing her shooting a blaster at storm troopers‚ but that is beside the point. It did not follow the book that we read at all. There were very few similarities to the book and it was confusing putting the two together. Victor did not travel around when he got depressed‚ but instead he went and hid in his laboratory. Henry Clerval in the movie did not look

    Johnny Depp before in movies like Alice in Wonderland (2010)‚ Sleepy Hallow (1999)‚ and my favorite‚ Edward Scissorhands (1990). However‚ the director did a great job making the film very creative and colorful for the most important viewers for this movie‚ which are children. The outside of the factory looked old and rusty‚ but once the four children went inside it was like another world. There was a river and fall made out of chocolate‚ which was how he mixed his chocolate in his chocolate room. Not

    In my opinion on the movie O and that it related to the play Othello because there were many differences but all the end it did seem like an Othello ending. Like for example in the play they used swords and knives in the movie used guns. Plus‚ there was a war going on in the play but in O it was just a basketball. But both stories are still similar because both Odin and Othello both have anger and jealously. This movie was good because it did show Othello in a different way‚ but the characters were

    between the societies of Beowulf and the Lord of the Flies. Because of how both leaders in the stories were abandoned to fend for themselves and how they both have someone who helps them through their journey‚ similarities occur in their vastly different societies. Despite the reason for why both leaders in the stories were left alone in a fight were different‚ the loathsome deed still occurred. In Beowulf‚ the Geat warriors were seen as cowards because they didn’t help Beowulf with his fight against

    The timeless tale of Romeo and Juliet has been told again and again; the similarities and differences between the films are endless. Two movies were made based on the classic love story‚ Romeo and Juliet. The first movie was made in 1968 and the second was a much more modern remake of the classic tale which was made in 1996. These movies told the romance in similar‚ but still in different ways. Both movies can be easily compared and differentiated because they were both alike and different at different
