The Interlopers Vs. Two Friends

Both of these stories include in their plots, surprising events that alter the course of the plot. There are a couple of surprises in the “Interlopers.” One of these

Good friendships make life easier. Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, is about two men, George and Lennie, who go on various journeys in order to get a job. Although George would consider Lennie to be his closest friend, he ultimately ends up shooting and killing Lennie. George did this, not out of hatred, but rather out of protection. A good friend will always want what is best for one another. Steinbeck uses his protagonists’ friendship in order to show that true friendship can help make any of life’s hardships less difficult.

Q1- Compare the ways in which the authors of both texts explore the themes of friendship and responsibility.

The men in the novel want to be like brothers to one another. They want to protect each other and to know that there is someone they can rely on. However, the world is too cruel to sustain such relationships. Lennie and George came closest to this ideal friendship, but they are forced to separate tragically. With this, a rare friendship vanishes, but the rest of the world - represented by Curley and Carlson, who watch George leaving his friend's dead body - fails to acknowledge it.

The interlopers is a story where 2 main characters fight over a family feud and they eventually come to terms with each other. They hated each other since they were little children. When both men met each other in the woods a thunder struck a tree near them and trap them both. One of the men realized it was a waste of time and energy trying to fight with the other man and tried to make friends with him.

Relationships often have a huge influence on our lives. Whether it’s family or close friends. Relationships can shape the way we walk through life and how we see or view the people around us. Especially if we share the same experiences. Experiences can either strengthen or dismantle even the closest of friends. Relationships with stories can also be just as important. As they can show us that, although each person has a different story to tell, we all live in the same society. In Toni Morrison’s “Recitatif” and George Saunder’s “Puppy”, the reader is given a glimpse into the lives of two people. Marie and Callie in “Puppy” and Twyla and Roberta in “Recitatif”. Both stories show similarities and differences between the two sets of characters in each story.

In “The Interlopers” has an unexpected ending of death, comparable to “The Story of an Hour” where the end of Mrs. Mallard’s story ends unexpectedly with death as well. In “The Story of an Hour” we see some selfishness in the character of Mrs. Mallard when she is so sad about her loss of freedom that she forgets to rejoice that her husband is alive again. In the same manner, we see some selfishness on the part of the characters in “The Interlopers” when they believe that their lives will be better without the other person and how they each hope their men arrive first to free them and kill the other, before they make peace with one another. In “The Interlopers” we see peace found at last between two long standing

The story of Sounder and Our Town are very similar because they both have death in them and it plays a big part in the book. The authors of the two books are for Sounder it is William H. Armstrong, and Our Town it is Thornton Wilder. The three characters that I chose were the father, the boy, and George. These people all died or they suffered death the father died and the family suffered and was sad from what had happened. Mrs. Webb’s son’s wife died and her husband died so death really impacted her life and helped her get stronger. George died and his death really impacted his family the mourned his death for a long time, but eventually it became to not be as bad as it was. The quote for these stories is “life goes on.” This quote is a good quote because these two books have death

The short story “The Interlopers” by Saki demonstrates the ironic aura of man vs. nature, and man vs. man. Hector Hugh Munro, pen named Saki, was one of the most popular short story writers during the pre-World War I British literature era. He wrote many stories and is often referred to as a highly under rated author for British literature. His war experiences were apparent in the novellas that he wrote, and often gave readers a gloomy, disturbed feeling. Other stories by Saki include: “Gabriel-Ernest”, “The Toys of Peace”, and “The Storyteller”. These short stories specifically illustrate horror, and the advantage of living life outside of the box. The three predominant literary techniques in Saki’s “The Interlopers”

tougher than each other. In the beginning the narrator tells his friends he is going on a camping trip to earn his badge and the friends said they will go to. Soon one of the friends gets taken to the next subway station without his friends. so he's there alone very scared. In the end, the friends admit that they hate being outdoors and roughing it and they all just want to go home. This story shows that friendships can mean rivalries.

In the final analysis, characters from both stories carried with them a dream that inevitably led them to irrational thinking and an ultimate downfall. In simple

while the first story related to only a slim few. Although these stories related to one another, they did not reach out to the same audience. There are only a few readers who can relate to both at the same time.

To illustrate, the first similarity between the two stories the reader can look at the actions of both The Misfit in “A Good Man is Hard to Find” and the married couple in “A Very Old Man with Enormous

The story has a remarkable way to portray a different image of friendship, love and commitment. It shows how uniquely different people juggle with the struggles of daily life silently like a ghost. As it is said, the true essence of friendship is tested during adversity and not prosperity which is rightly

In “The Interlopers” the characters civil personality shines through at many moments during this story, which leads the reader to believe that they only act ruthless due to the tradition that they feel obligated to follow. After spending the entire night searching for each other, the two men finally realize that there is no point in hating one another so the decision is made to make amends. To show how committed they were to the new friendship they each
