The main reason that these stories are alike, are that they relate to women. Whether you are a daughter, or a wife, changes are you can relate to

One of the differences is the father. In the short story the father is not involved in Connie’s life as much as he should be. “Their father was away at work most of the time and when he came home he wanted supper and he read the newspaper at supper and after supper he went to bed. He did not t bother talking much to them” (Oates 1). They changed in role in the movie. He is more involved in her life in the movie. He talks to Connie about her and her mother's relationship, he is concerned about Connie being on the side of the road, and he tried to steer Connie in the right direction.

I think that she always possessed these personalities but they were just hidden. By entering the harsh environment Vietnam brought, her true personality could be seen. She is really an extremely tough person, possibly more so than some of the soldiers fighting in the war. One event where this is evident is when she goes out on the ambush in the middle of the night. This is extremely dangerous for even the most experience soldiers fighting in the war.

The way Mary Anne appeared and acted showed that she had turned over to the dark side. Everything she had arrived with, her personality, taste, and love for Mark was gone. Yet, she seemed to be at peace with herself. But despite being at peace, she has become someone who longed for blood. In reality, she had become the opposite of her former old

The two characters Marian and Bethany Hamilton, both faced different tragic events but both didn’t let that experience bring them down. In the story “The Test” by Angelica Gibbs, the character Marian faces the challenge of getting her drivers license, yet she has trouble because she encounters a racist driving instructor. On the other hand, in the article “Can a devastating shark attack really lead to a better life?” by Melanie Greenberg, the character Bethany Hamilton faced a devastating event because she got her arm bit off by a shark while surfing. Bethany never gave up but being a strong and hopeful woman led her to continue surfing, and had a positive effect on her. A common theme between both stories is one can still overcome a tragic event no matter how bad it is with support and a positive mind.

Mary would do anything to become Queen or be recognized. Queen Mary was illegitimate by her father Henry VII.

A quest, small or large, is described in most works of literature. Quests often require a great expedition on the part of the protagonist, and the overcoming of many obstacles, hardships and sufferings. A majority of the time the character is not aware of the journey that they are embarking on. According to Thomas C Foster, in his article How to Read Literature Like a Professor, a quest must contain five key components; a quester, a place to go along with a stated reason to go there, obstacles along the way and a real reason to go there. Stories such as; Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea, J. D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye and Cormac McCarthy's The Road are great examples of quests in modern literature. The characters in each novel embark on their own quests, and along the way

Mary Margaret is an educator, manager and lawyer. Thus, her professional training and experience have enabled her to provide guidance to clients, students, and colleagues toward the completion of their personal, financial, and professional goals.

The narrator and his sister, Mary Alice, are alike because they both are very curious. They both want to stay up all night to see what happens with their grandma and the guests while shotgun Cheatham's coffin is in the house.

Anne is introduced in the novel as a pagan, who believes that there is a certain beauty in nature, which manifests itself into all natural things. “Do you know what I think May-flowers are, Marilla? I think they must be the souls of the owners that died last summer and this is their heaven.” (190-191) Later in the novel, this paganistic belief later changed to the love of Jesus and Christianity. “God’s in his heaven, all’s right with the world”. (364) Anne gains spiritual knowledge and insight into the world of Christianity through two female characters that influence her greatly, Marilla and Mrs. Allan.

Mary Ann’s life along time ago was very difficult. Mary Ann is a woman who lived in Alaska, Scammon Bay. She didn’t live in comfort and sometimes she starved. What would you have done if you were Mary Ann? However, when she got older, everything changed.

When the vines grew large enough then the vines started to wrap themselves around Mary Ann. Once the vines were completely around her the vines took her soul and mind into the book. When Mary Ann woke up she was in a big city. When she sat up from laying on the bench she saw a huge sign that said welcome to New York City or NYC. She woke up to a big bag next to her. Mary Ann saw something in the bag and it looked like a wallet. When Mary Ann looked deeper in the bag she saw that it was a wallet. The wallet was hers but it had a lot more money in it. It had over 1,000 dollars and a note attached to one. The note read... Dear Mary Ann, Here is 1,000 dollars and big bag of food for you and only you. Sincerely, and the rest of the

During the week she is always working for the Coles, and then on the weekend she is busy typing up her stories (34). There is no mention of her having any friends; she talks mostly to Katherine. However, Katherine will eventually have to attend women’s clubs and become the woman that her parents want her to be (45) which upsets Mary because then Mary will lose the one strong connection that she has with another person. Mary has no one in which she can complain to about her job, or anyone from whom she can seek advice. Therefore, Mary feels more distinctly the exclusion that comes from constantly serving those who have more than her. After her sexual assault, Mary says that she “wish[es] there was someone [she] could have written to after that,” (44) which indicates she has no one she can tell her deepest fears. Mary recognizes that she is alone and even calls herself “Mary ‘Ghost’ Fox” (35). The use of the word ‘ghost’ shows that she does not appear in the lives of others, but is rather stuck in between worlds, belonging nowhere and overlooked by everyone.
