The story of the piper is definitely a journey, one can easily imagine. It takes a person into scenes of imagination that almost seems so real. However, in reading both, ”The Piper in the Sacred Valley” and “The Magic Pipes”, coming from two different authors, allows the reader to take slightly two different paths, and yet still have some similarities. According to the author of The Piper in the Sacred Valley, a girl is called by the sounds of one's pipe and is pulled emotionally to follow it. The girl is convinced that the sound is meant for her and at once she must go and find it. While preparing to go and find where the sound of the pipes is coming from, the girl is first taken on a journey into a sacred valley. She allows nothing to …show more content…
However, the sound of the magic pipe did cause it to summon her. According to this author, as the girl journeys to find the piper, it was her “beauty” that allowed her into the valley. And when the girl meets the piper at last, they too also marry. But the girl falls into a deep sleep for months, causing the husband to go island to island in grief.
Later, it is said that the husband goes into a long engagement with another woman, but eventually calls it off due to the return of his wife. As his wife comes out of her deep sleep, it is said that she cries. In the two versions of the stories, it is obvious that one had a wonderful journey of love, fear, excitement, and passion -while the other story was just so specific and to the point. One story allowed the readers' imaginations to explore, while the other story doesn’t. The conclusion to both stories: one ends up with a broken heart, but still leaves the readers to wonder, and the other was cut short of an ending. The Piper in the Sacred Valley, was definitely a better read. The author not only allowed the reader to travel with him through imagination, but he has left the reader to desire
Through a qualitative comparative literature analysis, this research will look into the influence that Reyna Grande’s personal experience depicted on her memoir influences her novel Across a Hundred Mountains while paying close attention to the role that liminality plays on the identity construction of both Grande and her fictional character
I loved this book so much. There is so much action and is so much better and exciting with so much amazing detail and description. This is one of my favorite books ever. When you read it, you don’t want to put it down and it makes you feel like you are with the characters in the book and you know them so well. I recommend this book to anyone who can read at this level.
These two stories were also very different, they were written in different views. The second story was written in first person, it told a story about a past experience. The first story was very general, it related to many women readers,
The characters are totally different in the two versions. The short story’s main characters are a family; a husband, a wife, and two children. The film’s characters are a woman and a man, and the man’s mother and younger sister.
As for differences, I came upon many that I think show how the authors might’ve felt about star crossed love, young love, or just love in general. The little details I picked at really do draw lines between the two stories and give them both different meaning.
Most times, anything abnormal or odd tend to be pushed under the rug. Edgar Allan Poe subtly brings attention to topics the are typically ignored. E. A. Poe had far from a perfect childhood. His father left when he was young and his mother died when he was three. Poe also seemed to have a lonely childhood after his parents were gone. He was separated from his relatives and didn’t appear to have many friends. He attended the army and after went into West Point. His academics there were well but he was eventually kicked out because of poor handlings of his duties. Before Poe died, he struggled with depression and a drinking problem. Some believe Poe’s tragic lifetime was the inspiration for some of his stories. Such as, “The Fall of the House of Usher”. A possible theory about this story is that Roderick and the Narrator were one in the same. This essay will discuss the possibility of them being the same through plot, characterization, and personification.
The narrators in both works prove to be similar in several ways. In “The Tell-Tale Heart” the story is told through a psycho narrator; both stories contain apparent psychological imbalances within their story tellers, “
The use of magical occurrences or fantasy in Brockmeier’s story plays a crucial role in the development of the overall moral lesson in the story.
The irony of each story came to light at the close of the writings. The ending turned out to be something totally different than what it would initially have thought to be, because of how the narratives

The two short stories share one similar theme, and contrast in others. The theme these two stories can compare is how the women, Mrs. Mallard and Clair feel about their loved ones and the relationship problems they face. The unsteady relationship becomes apparent when Mrs. Mallard expresses that she feels a sense of freedom when she hears of her husband’s death, which is odd for any marriage unless there is a sense of unhappiness within the relationship. Learning Mrs. Mallard feels free after her husband’s death makes the reader believe she was in an unhealthy
In the final analysis, characters from both stories carried with them a dream that inevitably led them to irrational thinking and an ultimate downfall. In simple
This ending more clearly illustrates the dangers of the Klondike. The first version is more a morality tale, ending with the moral of "Never travel alone!" (62). The second version is more of a good short story, with the ending that is, regrettably, all too common in that part of the world. The main character never gets a chance to change his ways and travel with a companion the proverbial "next time." He learns the lesson with the most severest of consequences: death. Another interesting difference is the fact that in the 1902 version the main character is Tom Vincent; however in the second version, the man has no name. This gives the main character in the 1908 version a feeling of universality.
The emotional impacts of both stories were the most contrastable. Azucena died peacefully excepting her death. Unlike Rolf whom didn’t want her to die because she reminded him of his deceased
In the “Bungling Host” it tell us the reason why certain animals look the way they do, it also has a lot of unnecessary details. While reading it I was expecting a different ending. But it tells us that the Coyote pushes in the Wildcats nose while the Wildcat sharpens and makes the Coyote’s nose pointy (Glotfelty 9). While in ““Wolf and Coyote–Origin of Death” it is more direct and get to the point a lot faster. It was also a bit more predictable.
