The Boy Who Fought Hitler by Lauren Tarshis is a true story about Ben, a jewish boy caught in the midst of WWII, he must learn to fight the oppressive nazis and help his family at the same time. Quite the opposite on the other hand is a story by Nora Baskin, Amira’s Song, it's about a girl who emigrated from Syria during the Syrian Civil War and she wants to make her family proud with a project about Syria.

While there are many comparable characters between the story and the film, the most prominent similarities are with Jon Anderton and Guy Montag. For example, both men had government jobs in the beginning that they both deemed was ‘respectable’, but in the end had betrayed to follow their own free will. In “Fahrenheit 451”, Guy’s wife Mildred had turned him in after an incident regarding her and her friends, while similarly in “Minority Report”, Jon’s ex-wife Lara had informed Burgess of Jon’s arrival in secret. Beatty and Lamar Burgess are also comparable, as they both were leaders of an association that was intended to prevent an action even though they both committed the crimes, and they both died at the hands of the protagonist.
If they do one thing wrong they could have a chance of dieing. Therefore both characters are very similar with their struggles and the need to survive.

I suspect the similarities are easier to find by reading the play because the movie really shows their contrasts. There is one similarity in that when they really believe something, they are passionate about their cause.
