Comparing The Unlucky Pirate And The Abandoned Children Of Wailing Wood

Have you read or heard of the two short stories that are called The Tell a Tale Heart or the Short story that is called called There Will Come Soft Rains. They are both short stories written by authors with different writing styles that are quite unique. Both stories were very different written by very different authors The Tell a Tale Heart was written by the author Edgar Allan Poe. The other story’s author that wrote the story There Will Come Soft Rains was named Ray Bradbury. The Authors both use quite unique writing styles but they are very different types of writing style. They both are in different genres one is a horror story and one is a Sci-FI. Both of these stories are quite different but also the same as they are very interesting

The Shipman’s Tale, one of the many tales in Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales, is exactly suited to the Shipman’s personality and profession as given in “The Prologue.” The shipman is described by Chaucer in the prologue as very sneaky, deceitful, and even pirate-like. The Shipman’s tale matches his personality and profession because The Shipman’s Tale is one of trickery and con. The monk in the tale tricks both the merchant and the merchant’s wife out of their money. He also uses his relationship with the merchant to his advantage, because he knows the merchant would never suspect him of having sex with his wife. The shipman is also portrayed in the prologue to have no sense of remorse or feelings of sorrow.

Jim Hawkins in Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, possesses an innocence and idealism as he sets off on a voyage for treasure; Jim fights against the Pirates to survive, leaving him with a new realistic knowledge and experience of the world. Jim first experiences the death of his father; then in the same time frame, he loses Billy Bones. After Billy Bones death, Jim discovers a treasure map, he, the doctor and the Squire set off to find the treasure. When Jim first meets Long John Silver, he appears as a “clean and pleasant-tempered landlord” (45). Jim has a clear image in his head of what a pirate looks like, and Long John Silver appears to be completely different. This reassures Jim's fears. Jim never sees what will occur after the

The first short story I chose is called Baseball in April by Gary Soto. I chose this short story because a whole book was named after this story so I figured if it wasnt any good then why would a whole book be called Baseball in April and other stories. When I read the title it struct me with a story about determination and I love stories about kids who never give up. I also read some of the reviews on the book and most of them said they loved it and they want more. I read the review given by The New York Times Book Review and the review was amazing and The New York Times are a really big company so I asuumed it had to be

The merchant claims that he knows nothing of long-suffering wives. Rather, if his wife were to marry the devil, she would overmatch even him. The Merchant claims that there is a great difference between Griselde's exceptional obedience and his wife's more common cruelty. The Merchant has been married two months and has loathed every minute of it. The Host asks the Merchant to tell a tale of his horrid wife.

The Seafarer, The Wanderer, and The Wife’s Lament all contains faith verses fate. The three poems are very similar and very different. The three poems ranging from a lonely man, to a lost soldier, to a wife’s bedrail. The medieval poems show hurt, confusion, and loneliness.

When isolated from society, loneliness becomes a part of you. In the poems, The Wife’s Lament translated by Ann Stanford and The Seafarer translated by Burton Raffel, are two similar and different poems. The characters in these poems handle their exiles in different ways. The way the two characters reflect from their exile is based off Anglo-Saxon values and beliefs. These poems compare and contrast the exile between men and women.

In the stories “Canyons” written by Gary Paulsen and “Treasure of Lemon Brown” written by Walter Dean Myers the authors use figurative language to develop the scene and characters in a creative way and more interesting way for the reader. In both of these stories the authors uses purposeful, descriptive writing techniques in the stories which help paint a perfect picture to the readers. Even though these stories are made up they quickly become real to the readers because of the high levels of detail given by the

              One interesting factor in the short stories is the setting for which each story is written is completely opposite but have a hidden common path of destruction.

Is it possible for children and young adults to live in a lifestyle that is formulated upon the idea of libertine rather than structured liberty? “The Parable of the Ship”, found in The Republic, by Plato and written at around 380 BC, is a perfect example to show how in a situation with no control, wise decisions are not predictable. In a situation in which too much power is granted to those who do not know how to manage it, utter chaos and disorder may be the product. In the same way, when school districts and or universities grant too much power and authority to the attending students, rather than to the teachers or instructors, the students may feel entitled to more rights and benefits than what they should receive. If the people that are

The first story is Gentleman, Your Verdict and the second story is the firing squad.

Most of the times is easy to pick the story that drag more attention to it like “A Rose for Emily”, however, in this case I will like to talk about the second story “A Good Man is Hard to Find”. This story make me thing in how sometimes people including myself try to manipulate situations to get what they want and on a major of the cases you get in a really bad situation just because you try to play with everyone.

The first story is Checkouts by Cynthia Rylant and the second story is The Girl Who Can by Ama Ata Aidoo. In the first story the main characters are the girl and the boy, and in the second story the main character is Adjoa. Both these stories have a lot of similarities and also a lot of differences. In the story the checkouts the narrator tells the story in third person, and I was able to identify this because of some key words the author used such as; they, her, and he.

The story that I can compare to Treasure Island is the story of Captain Blood written by Rafael Sabatini the similarities of the two story is that both stories tackle about pirates and voyage in the sea but in the Captain Blood the character did not search for some treasure but instead he set on sail to be free and claim freedom from any authority. Also the stories are similar when it comes to the struggles face by the characters when they are in the voyage. The difference between the stories is also in the Treasure Island the characters accomplished their plan and found the treasure while in the Captain Blood the character agreed for a settlement so that he can be

The second story is about the people that lived in an island where a certain religion was taught which was based on other beliefs than the mainstream ones. A rumor was spread out that the people teaching this religion used some unfair method to get approval for teaching their religion to children. The rumors said that these teachers were trying to remove the children from their legal guardians and they pushed the issue up to the extent of accusing them of kidnapping. After an investigation by an appointed
