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.

One similarity is in both texts the main person is fighting against the oppressive government. Another way that the two texts are similar is in both the government has put on unfair laws on its citizens. A quote from Harrison Bergeron that supports this is “The year 2081... nobody was smarter than anybody else nobody was better looking than anyone else nobody but it was stronger or quicker than anybody else.”

As for differences, I came upon many that I think show how the authors might’ve felt about star crossed love, young love, or just love in general. The little details I picked at really do draw lines between the two stories and give them both different meaning.

The two text are similar for various reasons. They are generally similar because they both have someone attempting to deny or rebel against society or government and they both get are unsuccessful and killed in the end. As seen in Harrison Bergeron this conflict occurs when Harrison

            One thing I noticed was the use of several different themes included in both stories. In the Lord of the Rings the inhabitants of Middle Earth join to save themselves from enslavement. Centuries before, a ring was forged putting much power into control of who had it. Some men fell into that power, but an alliance of men and elves defeated it. The Ring was

Overall, these are two great stories that give the reader a better idea of what war can and most likely will do to a person. Although there are differences, the similarities are

A very important similarity between the stories, is that they both are in the view point of a Union soldier in the nineteenth century, during the civil war. The similarities between these two books combine the ideals of battle and war, also the resemblances show how alike the two protagonists of the stories are.

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

So all in all the writters are similar, but lets look at there storyies and text for more information...

Many books have shared values and themes but like A Separate Peace and The Kite Runner. They both share common themes and writing techniques. They share imagery, metaphors, sarcasm and irony. The spirit and mood of the book have similar ways they make the character grow and evolve. Both books have common techniques they use to let the character move on and grow to do something better and more hopeful with their lives.

For instance, the point of view of both novels is different from each other. In “Out of the Dust” the story is told through a series of poems from Billie Jo’s first-person point of view. In “A Long Walk to Water”, it is told through third person view of Salva. Another thing is overall plot differences. In “Out of the Dust” by Karen Hesse, the plot is about Billie and her family trying to get through the 1930’s Dust Bowl in America. In “A Long Walk to Water,” it is about Salva losing his family and attempting to travel to a refugee camp to escape the Sudanese civil war.

In “Out of the Dust,” Billie Jo have to endure the brutal climate of the dust storms and drought and in “A Long Walk to Water,” Salva have to withstand through the relentless desert to reach the

The conflicts depicted in these books are similar because they both involve aliens trying to steal resources from the Earth. The plot in the two books are similar; they both involve aliens declaring war on Earth, then attacking the military. In the first book, the aliens first declared war on Earth, then they came through portals and destroyed the Earth. The aliens unsuccessfully pretended to be another branch of the US military, despite being from another planet.

Fantasy literature typically follows the same formulaic flow of story through wrongness, thinning, recognition, and healing or return. Despite this typical progression of story, the way novels approach these themes and thread them together differs between each author. Wrongness, the recognition that the world is or is about to change, is the start of the chain reaction that pushes the story further. Three novels that provide variations on this theme are, The Year of Our War by Steph Swainston, Throne of the Crescent Moon by Saladin Ahmed, and The Scar by China Mieville. The element of wrongness is undertaken in different ways in each of these novels, and the way in which the characters in the novel interpret and react to this element differ as well. The differences and similarities between the authors introduction of wrongness allows the genre of fantasy to not be constrained. As its traditional elements are advanced from various angles providing new and varied stories.

The concept of fantasy can be defined as ‘the forming of mental images, especially wondrous or strange fancies; imaginative conceptualizing’ (Dictionary.com). At one time or another we have all fantasized about different things. However, have any of us ever attempted to incorporate those fantasies into the real world? The following paper will attempt to analyse how the narratives Mickybo and me and The Butcher Boy combine elements of imagination/fantasy and reality. It will discuss how the of mixing the two concepts helped to form the narratives and move them forward and will gauge how these characters are shaped through their imaginations/fantasies. This essay will focus on four main points. Firstly, it will address how the cruel reality
