How likely is it in this day and age that teenage girls get captured and tortured? News today seems to be filled with these types of horrors. In Taken, a 2008 a crime fiction starring Liam Neeson, two friends are kidnapped to be used as sex slaves. In The Call, a young girl is taken from a parking garage, taken to an underground hideout, and scalped for her blonde hair. The 2013 thriller stars Halle Berry and Abigail Breslin as the main characters of the movie. The Call uses more horror elements than Taken and keeps audiences on the edge of their seats, and that is why it is the better movie. Although the plots of The Call and Taken are unique in some ways, they are also very similar. To begin The Call, Casey Welson, a young teenage girl, …show more content…
The Call consists of the main rescuer, Jordan Turner, a teenage girl being kidnapped, Casey Welson, and a crazy kidnapper, Michael Foster. Taken also has a main hero, Bryan Mills, a helpless teenager, Kim Mills, and several unnamed kidnappers. Both main characters have the same mentality of never giving up. The two kidnapped girls of course are both panic stricken and in fear of their death. The kidnappers have one reason for taking the teenage girls. So, the characters mainly have the same personalities and goals. The difference between the two main characters is that Jordyn in The Call is a complete stranger to Casey, yet she still continues to search for her. Bryan on the other hand is the father of the Kim, the girl he is trying to rescue. Even though both The Call and Taken are both thrilling movies, Taken is lacking in several categories that The Call contains. The plot of The Call keeps the audience guessing and eager for what happens next. The main character in The Call had no prior relationship to the kidnapped teenager, which makes viewers wonder why the hero never gave up. The theme of The Call shows how and why revenge is sweet. If given the choice between the two movies, always pick The
Some similarities are, one, the characters are the same. Winnie foster,in the movie and the book still kept her same name, her feelings about wanting to leave. In the book on page 13 it says , “Winnie Foster sat on the bristly grass just outside the fence” showing that her name is the same. Another similarity is, Mae Tuck hits the man in the yellow over the head with the rifle. In the movie it shows Mae Tuck hitting the man in the yellow suit

Some pimps even allow johns to murder the women and girls for an additional temporary sexual rush. The Lifetime movie, "Human Trafficking", give many disturbing but accurate examples as to how people are lured into forced labor. Throughout the film, there are stories of five girls forced into prostitution. First is Helena from Czechoslovakia. Helena is brought to Vienna by a handsome stranger who says he wants to marry her, and then sells her to traffickers. Second is Nadia from the Ukraine. A modeling agency recruits her and brings her to the U.S. where they turn against her and force her into prostitution. Third is Annie from the U.S. While vacationing in the Philippines with her parents, Annie is lured away from her parents and kidnapped. Finally is Jasmine from the Philippines. She is a member of a very poor family and sold to a trafficker by her father. Although these examples are derived from a film, they are excellent examples as to the many ways young women are coerced into forced labor.
No one commits to inhumane treatment willingly. DSS To Help Teen Sex Slaves claims that seventy percent of human trafficking victims are runaways (1). Most sex traffickers are promised
1). Ms. Greenlee is one of the most identifiable survivors of this type of tragedy. Greenlee told Ms. Martin (2013), “ she was forced to go through anywhere from 25 to 50 men a day or she would receive unimaginable punishments,” (para. 3). Greenlee told Martin (2013), “punishments were beyond severe, if she was not able to go through the number of customers they told her to she would pay with beatings, multiple rapes by multiple men, or even worse they would force her to watch as they tortured one of the other women they had kidnapped as her punishment,” (para. 6). Martin (2013) reports that, “Greenlee, who was kidnapped at age 12, was part of about eight girls who were kidnapped by a group of men who injected them with heroin and sometimes handcuffed them to the bed,” (para. 4). The tortures that Ms. Greenlee faced are unimaginable. She is one of the few women who have been able to escape from that world and talk about it openly.
The movie and the book had one main thing in common; the plot. They are both about heirs coming to Sunset Towers to figure out who murdered Sam Westing for millions of dollars. The heirs are split up into pairs, and are given clues to play Mr. Westing’s game. Both the movie and the book have similar pairs, but each pair connects differently.
Rehabilitation for victims is available such as Freedom Place and Dream Center. Joy Friedman, a survivor of 27 years of sex trafficking in the United States, now serves as women’s program manager at Breaking Free, a Minnesota nonprofit group that helps women and children escape that world. On average, sex trafficking victims are between 12 and 14. It is estimated that between 100,000 and 300,000 U.S. children are sex slaves. Providing care for these victims is very important, their self-esteem is completely demolished and don’t know where to begin to fix themselves.
The perspective of the two stories allow the reader to perceive the sense of proximity the protagonist has with their victim.
In Voices from the Field, there were some similarities as well as differences. One of the main similarities was that there seemed to be an invisible racial dividing line among the inmates. In both texts, it discussed how the black inmates and whites primarily stuck with their own. The survival methods in both Voices from the Field and Behind a Convicts eyes were similar. The main focus was avoiding conflict but being able to get their needs met. The façade of strength and defensive measures existed in both texts.
A way that true justice can be served to girls who are kidnapped in the North is when the kidnapper is found guilty for his crime. When Ariel Castro was arrested, he had “329 charges [which included] 177 counts of kidnapping, 139 counts of rape, and two counts of aggravated murder for forcing abortion” on Amanda Berry (Biography.com Editors). Justice was served due to him being
McFarland and Taking Sides have many differences and a few similarities. First, McFarland is a true story with a happy conclusion, except Taking Sides is not a true story with an ending that is not so happy. For example, McFarland is about a football coach named Coach White who was fired from his job because he hit on of his players. He then moved to a Latino/Black community and got a job to be a student teacher for the P.E. teacher.

Coach White then coached the cross-country team, they went to a meet, and they got fourth place. They went to the state finals and won 1st place. Furthermore, Taking Sides is about a boy named Lincoln,

According to Phoenix police, the girl was lured to a storage shed at an apartment complex. The four boys, who had offered the girl chewing gum, allegedly restrained and sexually assaulted her. The Phoenix police officers called the case, one of the worst they have investigated in many years. The 14-year-old was charged as an adult and will face two counts of sexual assault and one count of kidnapping. The other three boys were charged in juvenile court with sexual assault, and two of them also were charged with kidnapping. (Trevino CNN, 2009) Currently, it is estimated that adolescents (ages 13 to 17) account for up to one-fifth of all rapes and one-half of all cases of child molestation committed each year (Barbaree, Hudson, and Marshall, 1993).
