Conflicts In Tim O 'Brien's Interlopers'

In some ways both short stories were written with some similarities in mind. In both of the short stories that were told there was a death taken place which is a sad thing in stories that could affect the mood of the reader. After the death there is someone to clean it up and keep it secret so no one would know In both of the stories there is unique writing styles used to add effect to the story. These are some of the things that were used in both stories that kind of put them together as

The two stories were alike in the fact that both authors lost their parents at a very young age. Since they lost their parents at a young age, they were both raised by their grandparents. Both stories also begin with a safe arrival to a new country. Both also said the journey to the new country was a two month long trip. And lastly, the the refugees and the pilgrims traveled to a completely different continents and had to adapt to new cultures. These are all the similarities between the two stories.

Both of these stories include in their plots, surprising events that alter the course of the plot. There are a couple of surprises in the “Interlopers.” One of these

The short story, “The Interlopers” by Saki, tells of Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym, Two hunters who were destined to be enemies since `before they were born. Three generations ago, the Gradwitz family won a strip of precipitous woodland in a lawsuit against their neighbors, the Znaeym family. The Znaeym’s, in return, have held a grudge ever since. On a stormy winter night, Ulrich and his foresters are out on the land keeping watch for thieves, when Ulrich comes face to face with Georg. Before either man has time to move, a tree comes crashing down, both injuring and trapping them. At first both Ulrich and Georg claim that their men will be the first to find them and when they do, the other will die. But as more time passes, both find their hatred for each other decreasing and they decide to become friends. Sadly, after this miraculous event, both Ulrich and Georg are killed by wolves. Throughout the story, Saki uses irony, foreshadowing, and characterization to hold the reader’s interest.

The theme the two stories share is about growing up. In the story "Brothers are the Same" Temas had to attempt to slay a lion to prove to the Masai

“At night I’d go home smelling of pig. It wouldn’t go away. Even after a hot bath, scrubbing hard, the stink was always there – like old bacon, or sausage, a greasy pig-stink that soaked deep into my skin and hair. Among other things, I remember, it was tough getting dates that summer. I felt isolated; I spent a lot of time alone.” (O’Brien, 41).

The similarity and connection existing between the two stories is the point of view in the two essays. The stories are both written in the first person perspective and that

At a point in both stories, there was a turning point leading to a more positive future. Mrs. Mallard arose from her chair looking out the window and was filled with glee and full of happiness to finally get to live for herself. While over in The Interlopers as both men laid underneath a fallen tree they decide to move past there family issues and work together to get free and on the path to becoming friends. Now onto the last comparison I have, at the end of both stories the main charaters Mrs. Mallard, Ulrich, and Georg

In The Interlopers the theme is based on a feud between two families. The feud is based on an argument over a strip of forestland. The hatred that has developed because of this feud has become quite serious with both Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym having murderous thoughts

“ ...For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.” (James 4:14) Words of truth from the book of truth. We have no idea how long our lives will be on this earth. This concept is brought to light even more in the two short stories we will be discussing, “The Story of an Hour” and “The Interlopers”. These two stories share some similarities and some differences that we will be looking at. These two stories show us a very important concept… “The Story of an Hour” and “The Interlopers” are perfect examples of how the expected does not always happen.

Ulrich turns to Georg with great silence. Georg seemed to be in fear and struggling to get free, yet Ulrich has a plain face, staring at his rifle. Georg then yells, “What are we going to do!” Ulrich keeps his silence as he begins to reach for the rifle, Georg beginning to panic. The wolves creep closer to the men, Ulrich glancing at them for a few seconds then back at his rifle. Ulrich then lays a finger on the stock of the rifle and slowly pulls it closer, Georg calling out to Ulrich in great panic. “ Why are you so quiet!” Georg yelled. “Planning” replied Ulrich. Ulrich finally grasps onto the handle of the rifle and pulls the receiver back, taking a quick glance at the bullet inside then closes it. The men can then hear the growls of the wolves, then Georg is filled with fear and goes silent. Ulrich takes his aim at

The perspective of the two stories allow the reader to perceive the sense of proximity the protagonist has with their victim.

Many people desire to get something, and they fight each other to win their desire. They consider each other their enemies and do whatever it takes to be better than one another. When the enemies need help for same problem, they unite themselves to solve the problem. The short story “The Interlopers” by Saki is about unification and reveals how enemies become allies in harsh situations.

First, I will be stating the similarities. These stories are similar because they are both legends. A legend is a traditional story people share to explain why something happened. The two animals started off as friends and end up being enemies. In both stories the cat falls asleep.

In these two stories, Cat And Rat, the same things where, both had cats and rats,both got into a fight,both started out the same by doing everything together, both tried to kill one another by one trying to kill the cat, Both of the books there are two animals in the book/Cat and Rat, they both try to cross a body of water.
