Comparing Black Beauty And The Jewels

Many authors use different styles of writing and different ways to show different things and different types points of views. In the articles The Georges and the Jewels and Black Beauty: The Autobiography of a Horse, the authors are both using first person point of view, but using different ways to reveal the character traits. First, In The Georges and the Jewels, the person telling the story is a little girl and also she is talking about her experiences with horses, whereas in Black Beauty: The Autobiography of a Horse, the article is being told by a horse, and the horse is telling about his life and about all the equipment that has to be used for him.

To start, there are some differences between the two stories.In the passage from the novel The Georges and the Jewels the main character talks about falling off her horse, but instead of getting up right away she lies

The similarity and connection existing between the two stories is the point of view in the two essays. The stories are both written in the first person perspective and that

Black Beauty uses first-person narratives to interpret the new environment and how the horse feels about the changes. In quote 1, it states, “I had of course been used to a halter and a headstall, and to be led about in the fields and lanes quietly, but now I was to have a bit and bridle, my master gave me some oats as usual, and after a good deal of coaxing he got the bit into my mouth, and the bridle fixed, but it was a nasty thing”. It is comparing how Black Beauty used to roam around the field, but now his master started to put on riding gear. The horse felt discomfort when he was first introduced to the bit. The point of view is important because the reader is viewing how Black Beauty went through a new experience that was uncomfortable to get used to. Even though the horse was shown kindness, it was not happy with the new gear. In quote 2, it states, “It certainly did feel queer, but must

His “unlined” face has yet to have the heat of a forge baking the sweat off his face and cracking the skin transitioning him into a man. A man that needs to learn the craft of forgetting the burdens everyday life gives him. The line, “eyes amber as the resin from trees too young to be cut.”(ll 10-11). reinforces that he has to grow and be ‘seasoned’ before he is truly ready to make the transition and tackle the craft of drinking until numb. These lines like an artist waiting to sculpt their stone into something else. The reference of the eyes gives a relation to the difference of her father’s young and hopeful eyes that have not seen what her grandfathers have. This is important as it gives the wisdom and long struggle that separates the apprentice from the master. Eyes have also been described as windows to the soul and the way she relates her father’s eyes as young and translucent that have yet to meet the destructive force that well in her grandfather’s eyes.

Night the novel and the movie Life is Beautiful has many similarities and differences. The character development, conflicts, and plot resemble and contrast in the two stories. Night by Elie Wiesel was a writer of the autobiographical account, the novel was written in 1955. Night is about a young Jewish boy named Elie, who was trying to learn more about his religion. Elie and his family soon after are taken from their homes and put into the “ghetto”. Elie’s family is shortly transported to a concentration camp where Elie sees the last of his sisters and his mother. Elie and his father are together throughout the whole entire novel and have many hardships throughout the story. But, sadly Elie’s father dies not too far away from being released. Elie makes it out of

Both stories delve into the unstable psyche of a young man who is faced with one of life's most difficult lessons: that things are not always as they appear to be. Telling the tale as a way of looking back on his life, the protagonist allows the reader to follow his life's lessons as they are learned, imparting upon the audience all the emotional pain and suffering endured for each one. The primary focal point is the young man's love for a completely unattainable girl who unknowingly riles the man into such a sexual and emotional frenzy that he begins to confuse "sexual impulses for those of honor and chivalry" (Wells, 1993, p. 127). It is this very situation of self-deception upon which both stories concentrate that brings the young man to his emotional knees as he is forced to "compensate for the emptiness and longing in the young boy's life" (Norris 309). As much as Updike's rendition is different from Joyce's original work, the two pieces are as closely related as any literary writings can be. Specifically addressing details, it can be argued that Updike missed no opportunity to fashion A & P as much after Araby as possible. For example, one aspect of womanhood that fascinates and intrigues both young men is the whiteness of the girls' skin. This explicit detail is not to be taken lightly in either piece, for the implication is integral to the other important story elements, particularly as they deal with female obsession. Focusing

Where the two authors are utilizing the same literary element, the presentation is remarkably different and produces a different feel in each story.

   Happiness is defined as enjoying, showing, or characterized by pleasure; joyous; contented. Based on this definition we all search for happiness our entire lives. Two very different stories address this idea of the quest for happiness. M. Butterfly by David Henry Hwang is the story of a man named Gallimard who is longing for his love "Butterfly" to return to him. John Deeney describes it as him, clinging to his idea of a "Perfect Woman" to the end by costuming himself into the victimized Butterfly though his final suicide. Although Gallimard’s infatuation with Song sometimes makes him cut a rather ridiculous figure, his dead seriousness at the end evokes a certain amount of pathos and

F. Scott Fitzgerald felt as if he needed excessive amounts of money to succeed and succeeded as an author in the 20th century, after his first novel in 1920, he wrote The Beautiful and the Damned which was then followed by The Great Gatsby. In the Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald showed comparisons to his own life as he went to Paris with his wife after This Side of Paradise in 1920 succeed and lived an extravagant lifestyle but behind his façade was a writer struggling to continue the wealthy lifestyle and was unhappy and struggling with alcoholism. These comparisons show as Jay Gatsby was a wealthy man who longed for the American Dream and a wealthy lifestyle. As well as the want for wealth and a sophisticated lifestyle, he also has the desire for Daisy Buchanan. The novel is written from Gatsby’s neighbour Nick Caraway’s point of view, Jay Gatsby is introduced to the audience as a wealthy and generous man who throws extravagant parties and has built his fortunes himself in the hope that it will win him Daisy. Gatsby is killed for Daisy’s mistake at the end of the novel and his wealthy lifestyle is no more. The beautiful and the damned is the story of Anthony Patch “who was intended by Fitzgerald to be a tragic character” and was born into a wealthy family but rejects this and tries to distance himself from their reputation and upper-class name. He marries a socialite called Gloria and their common longing to live an extravagant lifestyle but the lack of interest in working to

Narrative power is a unique thing in that it does not matter what the story says or the truth to it but rather how it is conveyed; how does the story create meaning and understanding for the reader. It is one thing to read the novel for the facts but it is another thing to understand why the facts were told the way they were; the importance behind the facts. Authors achieve this by using copious different points of view including: second person, third person-limited, third person-omniscient, and in the example of The Enchanted, first person. First person point of view is where the story is told through the experiences of an individual within the story. The author of The Enchanted, Rene Denfeld, slightly alters this in the sense that she

Although both the movie and novel adaptations of The Woman in Black followed along the same narrative, the movie altered or changed different aspects of the novel such as how certain characters acted, added scenes where children kill themselves, and had a more focused supernatural element so that it could transition to film more easily. The first detail that the movie consistently altered was how different characters acted. Characters such as Mr. Jerome or the Gifford Arms keeper were much less friendly to Arthur, and would often avoid him or keep their confrontations with him brief. Mr. Daily was also much different from the novel as he would deny the ghost stories regarding Eel Marsh House, and at times would either entice or assist Arthur's

The story of the Beauty and the Beast is well known amongst all ages. Though the story they portray in the Disney version is much different than what they have portrayed it in France. La Belle et la Bête has been produced twice, once in 1946 and again in 2014. These two movies tell the same story but in very different ways. The perception of this story has changed between the different time periods.

 The Girl with a Pearl Earring and Mona Lisa are the two most famous portraits ever painted (Courtauld 36). The girl with a pearl earring follows the Mona Lisa painting, which is considered as the most famous painting. The girl with a pearl earring, by Johannes Vermeer, and the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci were created during the same historical time. Historians believe that Leonardo da Vinci created his art piece between 1503 and 1506. The girl with a pearl earring was created in 1665. The masterpieces were both created using oil. The medium for the girl with a pearl earring was oil and canvas while Mona Lisa was created using oil and wood. They were both from the genre of portrait art.
