Similarities Between Home Alone And Ransom Of Red Chief

The movie, Shawshank Redemption, is about a story of two men, Andy Dufrane and Red Abbott, who spent most of their lives in a prison together going through the ups and downs of prison life. Andy, who was once a vice-president at a bank, was in prison for murdering his wife and her lover, when he caught them in bed together; he was giving life in prison. Whereas Red, also a convicted murderer, got life but with a chance of parole. The two grew close to each other because they were both very educated men and had the same interests. After five years of doing the laundry, the warden thought it would in the prisons best interest to use such an educated man as Andy in the library. So they transferred Andy from the laundry to

Not everything in the world has the easiest answer or the clearest meaning. The average citizen may not take the time to look for symbols in the real world. Those same citizens also may not notice that an object could have a hidden meaning. In the novels The Red Badge of Courage, by Stephen Crane, and A Separate Peace, by John Knowles, both contain symbols that help represent the novels overall theme. Crane’s novel is about a young boy named Henry, who fights in the Civil War. He goes through many internal conflicts from deciding to run or deciding to stay and fight the enemy. Knowles’ novel is about two teenagers, Gene and Finny, who attend school during WWII. They push each other to do different things and influence each other

Main and minor characters share similar traits. Both boys are creative .The short story states “ He did this whenever he imagined that a crack of a twig or a rustle of a leaf meant that outlaws were sneaking up”. This proves that Red Chief has a very creative imagination. In the movie Home Alone Kevin creates a series of traps to stop the criminals. This shows that Kevin is creative because he was able to come up with those traps to hurt the criminals. The criminals in both stories have the trait of being greedy.

reds relationship with the guards and inmates are the only reason red has had a successful stay at shawshank. throughout shawshank red makes many deals with the guards not only improving his time at shawshank but giving him a higher status in the prison " Nine or Ten names drawn out of hat and two of them happend to be Andy's and my own" (Page 40) It can most deffinitely be inferred that red made some sort of deal with the gaurds to get the both of them on the roof top considering it was a desired job and nearly seventy other men also wanted the job. Red's relationship withthe gaurds gets him the things he wants when he wants giving him a more positive outlook on the time he is serving. Red is known as the man who can get you things arounf shawshank. Nearly everyone comes to him for anything from cigarettes to a rock hammer. He not only makes a profit off of the items he gets for people he gains a source of power within the prison. Red being the man who can get things is really what sparked the relationship between Andy and Red. " I heard your the man who knows how to get things" (Pg 27) Short but sweet some of the first words shared by andy to red. This is a major monent in the novella because this

They both have unreachable goals. The former tried to prove innocence of black man in 1930s; however, the latter wants to restore his land after the dust storm. But Atticus understands that it is impossible, he is realistic whlie Paul is too optimistic that he believes that the dust storm will stop and their life will improve. He said “So still now, and a red sky-it mean tomorrow will be fine” (72) it show that Paul is really optimistic. Next, Atticus is a very empathetic and kind person but Paul is different. He does not listen to his wife and as a result their baby dies. Furthermore, Atticus is a single man who has to both does his work and brings up his two children, but Paul who has a wife and a little baby is not really taking care about his child. So it shows that Atticus is a more responsible father while Paul is not. And they both sacrifice more than themselves to reach their goals. Paul is too taking care of his farm during his whole life and he doesn't care about his clorhes very much and he has no friends at all. His family can be broken. Atticus sacrifices his own and also his children's reputation. One can see differences and similarities between Atticus and Paul.

In both stories, the conflicts are very similar. They are both dealing with their lives being in danger. "I sent up a man five years ago for murder. He was supposed to hang, but up north they commuted it to life. Now he's free-I don't know how. Anyway, it looks like he's coming back" (Foreman 295). Sometimes

Marty Robbins, a traditional and even glorified country singer, sang a song that focuses on Justice. To be more precise, to make the statement which pertains to Justice, “That it always come in due time.” In this song, which is quite like a sung story, more so than other songs, we learn about a Ranger and an Outlaw, and their duel in the Old West. We are initially informed of the arrival of the Ranger; however, we are then told of the sins of the Outlaw. “But the outlaw didn't worry men that tried before were dead - Twenty men had tried to take him twenty men had made a slip (Robbins)” Using this reference, one is able to determine that the outlaw, Texas Red is quite notoriously heinous. This progresses our “plot” by showing the nature of the antagonist.

So far there have been 2 adaptations of the story called “the ransom of red chief”. Sad thing is just like every adaption of a story to a movie it always gets slack about the things is different between the two and about the story being better. This there is not a deciding factor about which of these is the better one because they are different but also very similar. Here I’ll show first the differences, in the short story unlike the book they try to sell Johnny candy but in the movie the straight up go up behind the kid and stuffs him in the trunk of their car, While on the subject of his actual kidnapping bill didn’t get hit in the head with a rock in the short story. The next difference was the fact that in the book they took red chief to a cave in

When red chief is kidnapped and taken to the cave instead of crying and attempting to escape from the cave, he is in the cave having the time of his life. He played a game the whole time where he gave everyone a nickname he called himself master chief b and billy was named snake eye, they were all Indians that is what was going through his mind the whole entire time. Even though red chief is away from family he talks about how boring it is to be at home and how he does not want them to take him back home “‘when the kid found out we were going to leave him at home, he started up a howl like a calliope … and fastened himself (pg.53 When red chief's father wrote back to SAM and Billy saying that the money, they had requested

At first look, Arrow of God and Smoke Signals do not seem to have a great deal in common. Arrow of God takes place in Nigeria. The tribe’s leader, Ezeulu, is faced with the difficulties of Nigeria gaining their independence and the colonization of the white men. Smoke Signals follows a couple of Coeur D’Alene Indians, Thomas and Victor, on their journey to Phoenix, Arizona to retrieve Victor’s father’s ashes after he passes away off of the reservation. Looking deeper into conflicts, archetypes, and philosophies, it is easy to see that these two stories share many of common traits.

One event that is similar is the kids burnt the criminals. An example from the text “ He put a red hot boiled potato down my back and mashed it.” this shows that Red Chief burnt bills back. In the movie Kevin burnt the criminal with the red hot door knob. This illustrates both criminals were burnt by the kids.

In the novella, Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, the reader follows the life of Andy Dufresne, who was wrongly convicted of murdering his wife and a golf pro. Author Stephen King, who is known for his simpler, conversation esque writing, describes Andy’s experiences and attempt to escape from Shawshank Prison where he is being held. Red, Andy’s most valuable friend while in prison, is also in prison for killing his wife, but in contrast to Andy, he actually did it. Andy is constantly denied his freedom for parole or when evidence arises proving his innocence because of his role running the illegal money laundering scheme for Warden Norton. Throughout the novella, both characters display moments of similar, but also at times vastly different, levels of hope. King uses the way characters, such as Red and Andy, view hope as either a means of escape or simply futile in the novella to show how the circumstances surrounding a tragedy or difficult situation change a character’s mindset on hope and in turn dictates the actions they use to cope.

The book and movie was called where the red fern grows. It's about a boy who wanted two hounds and tried to save up money to buy them. Then they entered a hunting competition and at the end they both had a bad accident and died. The movie was directed by Norman Tokar in 1974. The book was written by wilson Rawls in 1961.

To begin, the movie and the book are alike in some ways but also extremely different. The movie and the book had the same aspects but were played out differently. For example, the book states that Sam, Bill, and Johnny are staying in a cave but in the movie they seem to have just taken camp on the side of a mountain road. The movie and book also were at crossroads when neither Sam nor Bill fit the description given in the book. The book and movie were alike in the way red chief scalped Bill and even how Bill sent Red Chief home. All in all, the book and movie had their similarities but also their differences.

The conflict of both stories was more similar than different. They’re similar because Eckles is to listen to Travis and went off the path. Plumwood didn’t listen to the ranger and got lost. Also Eckles was in
