In the play Spring Awakening there are a plethora of characters that are very similar to characters from other plays and shows. One specific example of a character being similar is Martha who is a teenage girl that tries to keep the fact that her father is abusing her secret. This character is very similar to the character Fountainhead in Water by the Spoonful. Both of these characters try to deny something to other characters and to an extent themselves in each respective story. In both respective stories each character tries to hard there past, so they do not get chastised by the other characters. Fountainhead refuses to say he’s a druggie, so the group doesn’t think less of him even though they clearly know he is. In Spring Awakening Martha
The characters both share qualities of the same agender but use them for different reasoning. For instance, Mr. Harrison and Atticus are very similar in a way that they are both driven to look beyond what is in front of them. They believe in ways that others don’t and are always looking to the future. We can see that Mary Jackson and Tom share a similarity when they both stand for trials in court. Katherine and Atticus also share a similarities as they stand up and defend people whether it be another person or themselves.
Another theme, personal identity, is seen throughout all of the characters in the book. According to the Stanford Encyclopedia of
In most books that we read, we find there is at least one character that we can relate to or compare ourselves to. In the play, 'Inherit the Wind', I found Rachael Brown was easy to compare and contrast to myself. The setting for this play was during the mid-1900s, which allows me to find many differences with Rachael. Surprisingly, I was able to find many similarities as well.
Two other characters that are alike are Gene--from A Separate Peace--and Todd--from Dead Poets Society. Gene and Todd both are very shy and don’t speak up for themselves and what they really think throughout the novel and the film. It states in the text, “Going there [the beach] risked expulsion, destroyed the studying I was going to do,… blasted the reasonable amount of order I wanted to maintain in my life, and… involved [a]... bicycle ride I hated. ‘All right,’ I said”(46). Gene did not want to go to the beach with Finny for many reasons but because he is shy and doesn’t say what he thinks or wants, he agreed to go to the beach. So he accompanied Finny to the beach but he did it against his will just because he did not want to disappoint
The two characters I decided to talk about are Eckels from A Sound of Thunder and the Narrator from The Scarlet Ibis. Even though these two characters are in very different situations, have very different conflicts, and are very different from each other, these two characters still have some interesting similarities. And Even though they do have some similarities to each other they show them in complete different ways from each other.
Dances With The Wolves and Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee have similarities and difference. Dances With The Wolves is similar to Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee because each movie had it where one person from the opposite side understood the Indians. Dances WIth Wolves understood the Indians like no other white man could he was willing to get to know them and give them a chance. Charles understood the Indians even though he grew up as a white he still loved his Indian family and understood them even when no other would give them a chance he still tried convincing people that they needed to be treated fairly and like whites. With both movies they also had one person that switch over. Dances With Wolves was a white man before switching to a Indian and trying Final to live with them.
People can have the most striking similarities, but also have many differences. Sometimes, they have very similar characters to remind you of each other. In the play “The Ring of General Macas” by Josefine Niggli and the film “Pan's Labyrinth” by Guillermo del Toro, the two characters Carmen and Mariana are similar, however they face the trials and challenges of life very differently. The characters of Carmen and Mariana are similar. An example is that I think they both need a husband to live in a time of war, or in this case, a revolution.
Sometimes in literature, two different forms of writing tell two different stories with lots of similarities through characters. The book The Catcher and The Rye by J.D Salinger and the movie The Dead Poets Society directed by Peter Weir is a perfect example of two different literary works that share similarities through characters. The Dead Poet Society follows half a school year of 5 main characters at Welton Academy each with a different connection to Holden Caulfield the main character from The Catcher in the Rye. These 6 main characters are Neil Perry, the smart one, Richard Cameron, the sycophant, Todd Anderson, who is exceeding shy, Knox Overstreet, the romantic, and Charlie Dalton,

The pay Water by the Spoonful is social significance of crack cocaine addiction. The play Water by the Spoonful is about four crack cocaine addicts who are recovering their crack cocaine addiction together. They chat online and tell each other their daily struggles. Odessa is a janitor who has a son who came back from the military name Elliot. Odessa is like the mother of the three other recovering addicts. Another social significance in the play is Elliot’s addiction to pain medication. Elliot got injured in the Iraq war and they prescribe him some medications which he later became addicted. This shows the issue that many veterans face when they come back home. Even those people who aren’t veterans who also become addicted to their prescribe
When the same person features in the literature of two different stories written by the same author, they often show differences between behavior and description.
One similarity between the two characters is that the people in their society have not yet met their true personas. The grandmother portrays herself differently around her son and grandchildren as for Emily Grierson, the people in her hometown hardly ever see her. She is mostly known for her father’s reputation.
These similarities help the audience to relate to the characters and feel sympathy for Williams as they symbolise his parents.
Thomas More writes Utopia, the comedic, fictional travel log about a “no place” society to discuss the various religious, political, and social ideals influenced by humanism. A medieval classically trained humanist, Thomas More is also influenced by the late medieval social, political, and religious movements developing from the Plague and the Hundred Years’ War. In Utopia, More illustrates a humanist society by discussing agriculture in the economy, religion and happiness, and the structure of the government which was ultimately influenced by the late medieval ideals.
The nineteenth century was a period of revelation and magnification for the Coalesced States of America. The Westward Expansion emerged by America’s desire to expand economically and territorially. Driven by the compulsion of consummating their manifest destiny, many Americans packed their paraphernalia, got their families yare, and commenced their peregrination to the West of the Amalgamated States. This great migration was mostly done utilizing wagon trains (Corbett et al., 2016, 481). Most Americans and immigrants peregrinated along trails, such as the California, Santa Fe, and Oregon Trail, to get to the West. These trails were long, exhausting, and lacked safety. In 1862, with the approbation of the Pacific Railway Act, this migration to the West took a crucial turn. This act sanctioned the Cumulation Pacific Railroad and the Central Pacific Railroad, to build an incipient track that connected the East and West of the Cumulated States. This incipient track is better kenned as the first transcontinental railroad. The development of the first transcontinental railroad was responsible for a substantial increase in the Westward Expansion from 1870 through 1890.
