Steff Tapia July 18, 2013 Formal Writing Assignment #1 At first I thought none of these stories related to me, but then I thought that maybe it didn’t have to be exactly the same, it could be parts of the story. So I started thinking of similar problems. At first it was hard because in my house the only problems we really have are things such as “who finished the milk?” “Who made this mess?” At first at didn’t think of one these problems because my dad doesn’t live with us. One of them doesn’t affect me directly, but it still affects really close relatives that I care about, they are my grandmother and dad. The stories I can relate to are “The Pura Principle” and “Everyday Use”. Like I said it …show more content…
But I definitely feel they have the same mood and a more than a few characters that are similar and some ways, ungrateful drug addicts and bratty arrogant girls, for example. Comparing these problems to my life definitely made me reflect and realize some things I just never paid attention to
In the end there are some similarities and some differences just how it was meant to be. Nothing will ever be the exact same no matter what you are comparing. Anything like comparing Coke to Pepsi or flat screen and a tube TV nothing will ever be the exact same. In the end I guess that the characters are more alike than different or the opposite depending on how you are viewing them. Overall though Candy and George look like they will have a bright future together no matter on how alike or how different they
There are many of the same people like Turtle, Angela, Grace, Hoo, Otis Amber, and Berthe Erica Crow. Also the money is both in the 2’s of millions like 20 and 200. Mr. Hoo still owns a Chinese restaurant that does very poorly. Also Berthe Erica Crow is still partnered with Otis Amber, and they still own the Good Salvation Soup Kitchen. As always Turtle still wins the Westing Game. That’s just a small list of what the similarities are between the book and movie.
The last similarity I will talk about was the theme that things are not always as good as they may seem at first. In “Flowers for Algernon”, Charlie got an operation to make him smarter. It greatly increased his intelligence for a while, but then Charlie regressed back to his original low intelligence level. In Awakenings, when they use the drug L-Dopa, all the
Doe Zantamata once says, “Differences and similarities are equally as easy to see, it mostly depends on which ones you are seeking to find.” In The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton two of the main characters, Johnny Cade and Dallas Winston or Dally, have many similarities and many differences. Johnny and Dally both have bad and abusive parents, and they think of the gang like their family. The differences are, Johnny is not a fighter and does not enjoy fighting like Dally does. Johnny dies a hero and Dally dies a violent hoodlum. If Johnny and Dally are exactly the same or very different, the story would be very different and a lot of key parts in the story would not be the same and as meaningful.
( GMW ) may seem alike because they have a group of friends going through life together, being taught life lessons from their teachers, and no matter what happened to the group they always ended back to each other, but they are actually different because of the gender struggles that they go through, the different relationship issues, and the time period they grew up in.
The Help and To Kill a Mockingbird share many themes between characters and their problems, while also telling to diverse stories. A good example would be Celia Foote and Boo Radley, who desire friendship because they’re seen differently, but go about getting friends in different ways. Celia Foote from The Help and Boo Radley from To Kill a Mockingbird share the ostracization from their peers and wrongful accusations. Although they have many similarities, Celia is more open and willing to become friends and part of the group and has a husband, while Boo stays rather shy and has no one but his harsh brother.
Though, I can compare both because they do have some things in common. They are both White Americans which make them eligible to have a good future and be able to vote. The difference is that one catches the most attention when the other is kind of ignored. They also think differently, Miriam is positive and sees African Americans as friends. While Tucker sees them as outcasts of society, he doesn’t want them winning their Civil Rights any time soon. I can also say that they are kind of relatable because they both are able to get a job and have plenty of food to eat. These are just some differences and some things they have in common.
very big similarity. In my opinion, the movie was better because you could actually see whats going on,
The novel and the movie share many similarities.The book and the novel share the same problems. A example johnny and pony run away since johnny killed bob.In both johnny gets injured badly and dies.
Unintentionally, violence affected my life by how I observe friendship through the eyes of my cousin as well as my own. My cousin’s name was Tatiana and was the age of 20 when she passed away due to violence. Unexpectedly, her friend killed her in a car accident after they had gone to their friend’s graduation. At the time I was just 9 years old. My aunt and I went shopping at night. While we were getting out of the car, I felt like the world and time itself had stopped. Apparently, I recognized my cousin driving and it seemed like she noticed us as well, and started to head our way. At the moment, I felt a tear run down my cheek as I realized what had just occurred. Deliberately, my cousin was killed by her friend who was speeding down the road. Out of breath, I ran towards my aunt who was motionless while tears were running down her face.
Overall they both share a theme of expressing feelings and speaking truthfully. Neither characters held anything back and just let their emotions
1. What is the danger of a single story? What does this make you think about? How does this relate to you/your life?
The actor choices from the film compare to what the book envisioned, but also contrast. The character of Daisy is not similar in the film to what the book
The following months a winter, cold and gloomy, surrounded the house. My grandmother came to stay with us since my father had fallen into depression and needed help taking care of my sister and I. When my grandmother went grocery shopping my sister would struggle with homework without my grandmother’s help. One day when my grandmother left to go grocery shopping my sister approached me, which was unusual of her since its very rare for her to come to me. Her dark brown hair and big eyes reminded me of my self when I was younger. “I’m hungry” she complained, a question she’s never asked me. My father sleeping and my grandmother away, I was the only one left to take care of her and that terrified me. I had never cared for or known how to care for someone else. All I knew was how to evaluate whether or not someone was caring for another correctly.
Another similarity would be the characters in both stories. They are faced with the hard reality as they come to find out they weren't living in
