Comparing Perseverance In Michelle Kwan And Mae Jemison

The most recognizable similarity is that Tom Robinson from To Kill A Mockingbird, and Janie from Their Eyes Were Watching God, went through a trial.They were both African Americans with the jury being "twelve white men [who] had stopped whatever they were doing to listen..." (Hurston 185). They were also both charged for a crime they did not commit. However, this is where the contrasts come into play. In Tom's case, he was accused for raping and beating Mayella, when in reality he did not. In Janie's case, she shot Tea Cake to defend herself, but was accused of first degree murder. The biggest dissimilarity in this is that Tom's verdict was guilty and Janie's was innocent, whcih was rare for that time because "when it was a white man's word against a black man's, the white man always wins" (Lee 220).

Enduring and persevering through the snares of life is not always easy. Perseverance is not giving up despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. In the novel Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand, the characters face troubles and difficult situations. Louie in particular does not give up although all hope seems lost. Louie exemplifies perseverance through his experience in Olympic running, in the army, and in the ocean.

Though, I can compare both because they do have some things in common. They are both White Americans which make them eligible to have a good future and be able to vote. The difference is that one catches the most attention when the other is kind of ignored. They also think differently, Miriam is positive and sees African Americans as friends. While Tucker sees them as outcasts of society, he doesn’t want them winning their Civil Rights any time soon. I can also say that they are kind of relatable because they both are able to get a job and have plenty of food to eat. These are just some differences and some things they have in common.

Imagine your a young girl in Afghanistan under Taliban rule and your father is kidnapped and put in prison, now what are you going to do without a father to get money for the family.

The Differences and Similarities Between Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs Being African American slaves, both Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs went through hardships that forever changed their lives and influenced them to portray these such hardships in autobiographies. Douglass and Jacobs had a great amount in common including the main similarity of the demonstration of the full range of demands and situations that slaves could experience, but both also had many events in their lives that were quite different, which result in the major difference of their main focus of their narratives. Frederick Douglass, born into slavery as Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey, became one of the most influential slave narrative writers.

Douglass eventually belonged to Thomas Auld and was sent to live with Thomas’s brother Hugh Auld and his wife, Sophia, in Baltimore, Maryland.

<br>Many obstacles get in the way of the road to dreams in both stories. In both stories, all families suffer from having little knowledge, and it doesn't help that they're all black.

Although these two examples of the theme “Perseverance can lead to hope” are somewhat similar, one character arc ties them together, revealing an awe-inspiring story. Where would you find this?

Even though he works at the DOE, he despises the secretary, as shown by his attitude towards blackmailing her

Even if something seems impossible, persistence can make it possible. In Sharon Old's', "The Race", the main character sense of urgency and willpower resolves in her achieving her objective - despite the odds. She is able to gain another opportunity to see her dying father solely because she did not give up and was eager in her task. The author exercises anaphora and imagery to deliver a frantic, but accomplished tone tone that coincides with the poem's theme of perseverance creates success. Anaphora is utilized in Olds', "The Race", to crete a feeling of breathless, continuos obstacles to the character's goal.

I found a theme that carried throughout the whole book, Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. This is the story about Katniss Everdeen and how she got drafted to fight twenty-three others in an arena. She must go through many struggles to end up winning, along with her new lover, Peeta. One simple theme, perseverance, runs throughout the whole book. The complex lesson the story suggests is that perseverance, emotional or physical, not only helps one, but helps others and causes them to persevere as well.
