Comparing The Dog Of Pompeii And Life Doesn T Frighten Me

They both had terrible events that people do not forget when they read them because they shows inequality between different cultures and differs societies. Also, both talked about killing and murdered people which they leave the bad picture in people’s mind when they read it because most of the events about killing people. Both of them talked about the human victims because of the war and the revolution in that

The similarities of the book are very simple and easy to point out. In both works, they cover the same events in

For example, Night and Life is Beautiful are both centered around their similar themes. Their common theme is that when someone has another person to love and something to hope for, they are capable of incredible things. In Night, Elie and his father’s love and hope depend on each other. As long as they were both alive, Elie as well as his father had a reason to stay alive and maintain their hope. But once Elie’s father died, the one person Elie could put his love and hope into was gone. In Life is Beautiful, Guido’s family all depend on each other. The father depends on his son and wife; the son depends on his mother and father; and the mother depends on her son and husband. They each put a little bit of their hope and love into each other. So, when Guido dies, a little part of his wife and son dies as well taking a small part of their hope and love with him. Another similarity between these two fascinating stories is the father-son relationship. As stated in the previous similarity, they rely on each other. However, these two relationships are different within their similarity. Between Elie and Chlomo, Elie’s father, they had a strong relationship that kept them going through everything. At one point, Elie even helped his father get the marching pattern right so Chlomo would not get hurt. Also, Elie gave his bread to his father even when the more logical thing to do was to keep it for himself since he was obviously the only one who had a chance at life then. In this

On the other hand, the excess of fear yields cowardice, which is certainly not a characteristic of any skilled man in The Odyssey. The strive thus, is to find the mean between deficiency and excess. To temper the attribute of fear into

and the short story “The Tell Tale Heart” it can be concluded that the two texts share similarities and differences within the film/ literary techniques used and their effect. They are similar in that both texts explore the theme of obsession to the point of madness; and they are different in that their attitude towards death is completely

How can two stories be so different yet so similar at the same time? In The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien, the author depicts the life of the soldiers as they are in Vietnam. He writes about what the soldiers carry in their bags, but he gives it a deeper meaning. He writes about the soldier’s life, all the emotional baggage they carry with leaving their loved ones and the pain of losing a fellow soldier. In “The Lone Ranger and Tonto fistfight in Heaven” by Sherman Alexie, Victor goes through different encounters where he experiences racism. He ends up going back to his reservation and getting a job. These two stories are similar through the freight, “any load or burden” (YourDictionary.com), the characters carry and how the characters are seen as the enemy. Although they have these similarities, they also have their differences. Their differences are the main character’s conflict with their

An interesting concept surrounding books is that they can relate or contrast with each other, or rather both. Margaret Atwood and Kurt Vonnegut brought the ideas of opposites and similarities into play with The Handmaid’s Tale and Slaughterhouse Five. These two books have much in common, but Atwood used her writing skill to reveal literary elements more effectively. The main characters are described and act very similar per the authors’ dictions, but Offred’s affinity for risk-taking deemed her a dynamic main character. Likewise, these stories are both told with a unique plot structure, with Vonnegut’s making his story hard to follow for some audiences. Diversely, the tales have distinct styles of

In our second semester, we dove deep into different literatures, each encompassing different heroic traits. Four literary texts that we studied are Romeo and Juliet, The Miracle Worker, The Odyssey, and To Kill a Mockingbird. Each written work has its own perspective on the definition of heroism; however, they all link back to perseverance and bravery, concepts that relate success to hard work and will power. Yet, often times, persistence is not enough to reach the goals of these novels. The definition of bravery can also vary from people to people, in the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus states,, “I want you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand, It’s when you know you’re

Courage, a phenomenal trait is the acquired ability to move beyond fear, which is crucial for every hero to possess. Theseus has a remarkable amount of courage, thus allowing him to confront agony, pain and danger. As Theseus courageously went to Athens, "He became determined to choose the perilous land passage" (Rosenberg and Baker 245), making it apparent that he is willing to take risks. On the contrary, Perseus whom is likewise a fearless hero, distinctly lacks the amount of courage which is possessed by Theseus. As an act of courage Perseus mentions; "I have no family wealth to offer you, but I fearlessly offer you my services" (200). Theseus's stupendous courage when opposed to Perseus's minimal courage,

There are many different pieces of literature throughout our past. Many of these stories follow the same archetype but there are still some that are very different. In all of literature, there are many novels who share the same qualities, but there is also a lot of diversity. The Count of Monte Cristo and The Life of Pi display the similar theme of loss of innocence; however, they undoubtedly have different characters, one being scheming and the other being spiritual, and they have varying writing styles throughout the novels.

Furthermore, throughout the course of both books, there was a change in the protagonists’ mentality. Although whether the change was malicious or benign is an extensive difference between the books, the more overriding dissimilarity

What makes reading so unique? There are several reasons as to why reading can be so interesting. It allows our brain to go wild and live a thousand lives. We are given the opportunity to live a different life and understand what life is like in another person’s shoes. Reading several books also gives you the chance to compare and contrast books. For example, I have been reading two novels with a clear theme of tragedy. The novels I read where Lives of the Saints by Nino Ricci and The Color Purple by Alice Walker. In these stories I was able to recognize the common theme and I was also able to look at the several similarities and differences in the book. Overall, in this essay, I will be comparing Cristina from Lives of the Saint to Celia

Which place is frozen, but was once one-fifth as hot as the sun’s surface, and even earlier was full of busily buzzing streets? . If you continue reading, you will know the answer and hear about how two stories, The Dog of Pompeii and Pompeii: The City that Slept for 1,500 Years, have different or the same symbols, theme, and conflict. I will talk about Symbolism first. Symbolism is the use of symbols to signify ideas.

Sometimes, two different books or stories can have fairly similar themes. The two short stories The Veldt and The Fun They Had both share the idea that technology shouldn’t replace humanity. In The Veldt by Ray Bradbury, the author shows this theme through the neglect of the parents and the aggression of the children. However, in The Fun They Had by Isaac Asimov, the theme is shown through the sadness of the children and the harshness of the robots. Both of the texts show the possible side effects of raising children with/by robots.

Every choice you make, if it's important or not, has a following consequence, good or bad. The theme in the stories are very alike. Style helps us understand the text by using bad choices as an example. And lastly, characterization tells us how the characters feel after, and what they have learned. I think the stories help me understand the consequence of my choice because they put the characters through similar days and problems like us in the real world, and that can give us an idea on how to handle these problems, and how not to handle them.
