Comparing Inspiration In Moon And Dawn

If “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens and the movie inspired by the book, “A Christmas Carol” by Jim Carrey can be different, but the same plot, then imagine how many other movies inspired by books out there that are the same way! Though both forms of literature are based off of the same plot, they do have their fair share of differences and similarities like any other adaption to a book. Even if it’s the slightest bit changed, it still will stick out like a sore thumb! It’s crazy how similar and different the book and movie can be at the same

There are various things that make up a piece of literature. For example: choice of diction, modes of discourse, and figurative language. Mary Rowlandson and Olaudah Equiano were great examples of authors that used these elements of literature. There are similarities and differences in A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson and From Africa to America. Though Mary Rowlandson and Olaudah Equiano shared similarities in experiences, they had different writing personalities, purposes, attitudes, tones, and relations with their communities.

Another reason there is no wholly original work is because of the many archetypes that many different books have in common.

The stories we read in class had a lot of distinct similarities in each story. One similarity I saw was; all the stories introduced their settings in the beginning. Also, all the stories explain some truths about the world we live in. For example, in The Lottery, this story shows the danger of blindly following traditions of the community was so used to playing the lottery, that it has become a normal habit for them not realizing the damage this “lottery” is causing them and the people who has to lose their life for it. Another example, in The Lottery, is when Mrs. Delacroix turned against her good friend Tessie by picking up the largest stone to kill her which shows that there are certain friends you may have and when certain situations happens, their true colors will show and they may not have been a true friend to begin with. Also, in Young Goodman Brown, along his spiritual journey he encountered people he knew already, but then those people started to act the total opposite of what Goodman thought of his friends. This shows that in life, not everything is what it seems, no matter how you see it. Another example is

The stories bear minor similarities and differences that the setting influences the plot development by era and place, main characters backgrounds, and environment /time frame of stories.

Inspiration can be found in anything or anyone. Someone who you look up to that makes you want to follow in their footsteps, is an inspiration. Something that gives you an idea to do something great is an inspiration. Mrs. Patton, my Java teacher, is inspirational to me because she challenges herself, works through problems, and always has a good attitude, as well as a smile on her face, which inspires me to be a computer programmer.

Many books have shared values and themes but like A Separate Peace and The Kite Runner. They both share common themes and writing techniques. They share imagery, metaphors, sarcasm and irony. The spirit and mood of the book have similar ways they make the character grow and evolve. Both books have common techniques they use to let the character move on and grow to do something better and more hopeful with their lives. They both use friendship, warfare, and conflict of identity to help their characters grow.

For instance, the point of view of both novels is different from each other. In “Out of the Dust” the story is told through a series of poems from Billie Jo’s first-person point of view. In “A Long Walk to Water”, it is told through third person view of Salva. Another thing is overall plot differences. In “Out of the Dust” by Karen Hesse, the plot is about Billie and her family trying to get through the 1930’s Dust Bowl in America. In “A Long Walk to Water,” it is about Salva losing his family and attempting to travel to a refugee camp to escape the Sudanese civil war. However, both texts provide the protagonists' obstacles to face to persist. In “Out of the Dust,” Billie Jo have to endure the brutal climate of the dust storms and drought and in “A Long Walk to Water,” Salva have to withstand through the relentless desert to reach the

When you look at the two paintings; “The Starry Night” by Vincent Van Gogh, and “Number 1 1949” by Jackson Pollock; there are a few similarities about the meaning of the works of art. Their background and history are different. These paintings were created in two totally different eras and have different formal and technical aspects. Saying that, these works of art share no spiritual or moral value. Respectively these paintings have a great history and legacy. Two paintings created in different time periods have little in common but yet so much in common.

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

When you read a story,no matter if a short story or novel, you probably don't think that the stories you read are written similar or different from other stories by other authors. From the story to the writing style each piece of literature is its own independent piece.

Throughout House Made of Dawn Momaday forces the reader to see a clear distinction between how white people and Native Americans use language. Momaday calls it the written word, the white people’s word, and the spoken word, the Native American word.
