Comparing The Two Brother And The Little Match Seller

Have you ever had that “Wow that happened to me” moment while reading a story? Well, most of the time there is that certain relationship that defines or helps us understand some main characters better in a story. Some relationships or situations may even relate to us in our life. The books, “ What, of This Goldfish, Would you Wish?”, “The Wife’s Story”, and “The Lottery” are perfect stories to compare to. They are great to compare to because of the situations they have with other characters.

I find the theme in this book to be something that an anyday person or child would experience in a day or much longer piece of time. Any person can experience times of confusion and emotional instability, but if that person sticks it out; they will find an answer to their problems or they will answer answer it for themselves. This pertains to a lifelong conflict, but it does not just pertain to that. It relates to a situation in a day, week, or even, an

To conclude, both stories involved horror short story and narrates two different stories. It released a feeling of given destiny all the lead. Our destiny already exists. We may do anything to change the fact about it. When death come for us, there isn’t turning back. When we get our noses into something we aren’t suppose to know, there isn’t turning

The short story “The Scarlet Ibis”,by James Hurt is about two brothers, the older one being the narrator and the younger one named Doodle, which is physically disabled. The older brother was thirteen when Doodle was five. Thus, the older brother wasn’t actually old enought to take good care of him yet. Doodle’s older brother took care of him more than his parents did. The film What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, by Peter Hedges is also about two brothers, the oldest being Gilbert and the youngest being Arnie, which is mentally disabled. Gilbert took full responsability for Arnie even when he got in trouble.This is because his mother is obese, she is unable to be a mother to Arnie, she can barely walk, and can’t go up the stairs to her room. The older brothers tell their story. They mostly talk about the relationship with their younger brothers, which involved kindness and cruelty. Siblings tend to be harsh and amiable at the same time, in the following paragraphs the kinship among the two brothers in each story will vary.

“In each family a story is playing itself out, and each family's story embodies its hope and despair.” - Auguste Napier. This quote shows great meaning throughout the story Of Mice and Men By John Steinbeck. The story is about two “bindlestiffs” that travel together in search of work, their names are George Milton and Lennie Small from the Salinas Mountain region of California. Lennie is a “slow” person and couldn’t possibly function correctly with George. George became Lennies caretaker when Lennies Aunt Clara passed away when he was younger, although they had always “been friends” (George would pick on Lennie for being mentally challenged). Because of Lennies disabilities, he is always

“A Rose for Emily,” “A Worn Path,” and “The Lottery” by William Faulkner, Eudora Welty, and Shirley Jackson all have similar writing styles in their literature. In these three short stories the authors all use contrasting nature within their literature to predict the outcome and to learn for the upcoming events in the readings. The authors take subliminal phrases and subliminal symbolic text to have the reader become more attached and understand more of what the characters, setting and theme of the story has to offer. Using these three stories the reader of this essay will understand and grasp the symbolic meanings in text of each these short stories.

As you can see from both stories it about overcoming boundaries, accepting people for who they are, and understanding each relationship in order to co-exist.

Within the collection of short stories titled The Art of the Short Story, edited by Dana Gioia, there are a surfeit of stories that mirror one another in terms of similar themes, including but not limited to: love, happiness, journeys, etc. Two short stories in particular, “A Good Man is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’Connor and “Shiloh” by Bobbie Ann Mason, share similar aspects pertaining to the dual themes of conflict within the families as well as journeys embarked upon by the main characters of the short stories that lead to the ultimate demise of the families. “A Good Man is Hard to Find” begins with a family conflict arising with relation to the destination of a family vacation. The grandmother of the family makes a suggestion to

In the book our main character's name is Alex halprin. All three themes apply to his life. Especially the one about how family is worth dying for. Sure you can die for you best friend(s), but even if you hate your family you have a bond that is unbreakable. Even through the toughest of times. People say friends will come and go but family is forever. They are actually right you can always have friends here and there, but if you have friends or not your family is always there for you no matter what. For example he left cedar falls to go to Warren Illinois. The reason being his family had gone there to visit his uncle. Yet alex wanted to be left behind, because he particularly does not like his uncle or his family. Further on into the book though when he finally

The story of Sounder and Our Town are very similar because they both have death in them and it plays a big part in the book. The authors of the two books are for Sounder it is William H. Armstrong, and Our Town it is Thornton Wilder. The three characters that I chose were the father, the boy, and George. These people all died or they suffered death the father died and the family suffered and was sad from what had happened. Mrs. Webb’s son’s wife died and her husband died so death really impacted her life and helped her get stronger. George died and his death really impacted his family the mourned his death for a long time, but eventually it became to not be as bad as it was. The quote for these stories is “life goes on.” This quote is a good quote because these two books have death

The novel brings out the themes of close friendship and family. It teaches the reader the extreme importance of having friends you can rely on when situations

Between the two pieces of text, destiny and fate greatly affect the outcome for both of the

No matter what type of books you read they will always have a message to represent for the reader. There are so many books that you can compare and analyze to see what kind of message the story is portraying. In the books known as The Pearl written by John Steinbeck and the book of Jeannette Walls known as The Glass Castle both share the same message. The message is that happiness intends to sometimes blind people into the things that they really love but not become aware of reality and that obsession can lead to devastation. In Steinbeck’s story the characters are Kino, Juana, the pearl buyers, priest and doctor. The reader will learn that in the beginning there is a loving and strong family but throughout the book the main male character,

I think the author escaped the violence in his hometown and his brother did not, because he had a different type of mindset then his younger brother did. Staples knew that if he left that he could live a much better life and would not have to fear for his life. His brother Blake was more so trying to find a way that he could fit in with everyone else in this town who was participating in violent activities. I think the two brothers both had the same opportunity to leave but only one of them did. I also think the bother felt alone after staples left and might have felt some type of way about his brother not coming back for him sooner.

It is often that you do not take chances in life become cautious and give up on what you are doing but in The Two Brother and The Little Match Seller. Both of these texts talk about or have cautioned in the story, whether it is to do something or stand up for someone they both have caution. In the Two Brothers it is about a magical rock that has a message on it and one Brother goes and the other Brother stays home. In the Little Match Seller it is about a girl who lives with her dad and he is very mean she then one night sees her grandmother who is dead and dies on New year's eve. Another might think that these texts are about people who have unfortunate events that happen in their life, but a better theme is when you are cautious you will always miss out on things in life. This theme is shown in the Two Brothers when they find the tablet and one Brother goes on the adventure while the other one stays home and at, The Little Match Seller the Little Girl is so cautious of what she does and she then gets motivation from her grandmother to stand up for herself.
