Through The Tunnel Differences

The similarities between the two stories speak of life's lessons and the sometimes-painful road we have to take in order to gain life

The comparisons and contrasts between The Hiding Place and Night. Both books were written with struggles, tenderness, agony, and fear in mind. Of these two books only one comes out and realizes that what they have gone through was not a cruse but some what a blessing from God, Himself. The struggles both face is more than just man against man but it is also a struggle within to find who they truly are and whom they truly believe in. Both main characters, Eli and Corrie, faced something they never knew they could face but only one comes out stronger than the other.

Initially, our first thoughts of Jerry at the beginning of the story, is that he acts immature and is burdened within a circle of maternal protection. During the opening of the story, the author conveys Jerry’s relative childishness by labeling him as “the boy”. The author also uses the mother to demonstrate his youth and how he is trapped in a circle of maternal protection which leads us to think that he is lonely due to that reason. In this part, “His mother walks in front of him, carrying a bright white strap in one hand” tells us that because the mother was walking in front of him, it gives us the impression that the mother still thinks of him as a boy that needs to be protected from any potential harm. We see more of Jerry’s immaturity and how the burden of protection leads his actions as we go through the story. During the part where Jerry sees the group of boys acting free-spirited, we see that he is overcome with desire to be with them, probably because he feels that because he is always in the circle of protection making him feel lonely and isolated from everyone. At first, he is added into the group and begins to have fun jumping from the cliff into the water with the other boys. Later on however, he starts to act immature when he realizes he could not do the same thing the other boys were doing. That was, underwater for a long time and going through the dark tunnel and he becomes scared. In this passage,“... In a panic of failure, he yelled up, in English, “Look at me! Look!” and he began splashing and kicking the water like a

In this ISP, I will demonstrate that these two works showcase different obstacles that the main characters

While each story had their contrasting elements, the base theme of each was remarkably similar; Both of the authors manipulate the theme of motherhood to examine the ideas of slavery, home and forgiveness during two very different time periods.

In the story “Through the Tunnel” by Doris Lessing the main character Jerry is young and sees a group boys do something that he finds interesting, Going through the tunnel. The problem is he is too young and too weak to do it. The boys were Judging and excluding him and it made him sad. Jerry used the negative actions of the french boys as motivation to set a goal of swimming through the tunnel before he leaves. Although Jerry is not physically strong or mature he has a large amount of mental strength and uses what should be his weakness be his strength.

When people look at two extremely different stories such as Night and Life is Beautiful, they would not expect there to be many similarities. However, these two devastating tales are more alike than suspected. Both Night and Life is Beautiful may be two accounts of the holocaust, but that does not mean that they bring the same thing to the table. They both may include a somewhat similar father-son relationship, yet they still aren’t that same. Night, a tragic memoir of Eliezer Wiesel, and Life is Beautiful, a humorous and still somewhat depressing movie of Guido and his family, have numerous similarities as well as drastic differences between them.

The characterization of Jerry illustrates the stages of maturing and becoming independent. In the beginning of the story, Jerry is depicted as young and immature. The immaturity of Jerry is shown when he is trying to capture the older boys’ attention. In order to capture their attention, “he began splashing and kicking in the water like a foolish dog.” This action conveys that Jerry is still immature, and wants to join the older kids. After seeing the boys pass through the tunnel, Jerry also wants to pass through in order to be a part of their group. In order

In this essay I will take the time to review two stories both of the fiction nature. I will discuss the conflicts of both stories as well as the plot structure. I will talk about the characters and give my point of view. Both stories are very thought provoking which should make this very interesting to compare and contrast.

In the story through the tunnel a boy named Jerry overcomes his fears, becomes more mature and proves to himself that he can do anything he puts his mind to. One day on the beach jerry asks his mom if he can go to the other side of the beach where he meets four native boys diving under the water and coming out on the other side. When jerry tries to find the the hole he cannot so the next day he comes back with goggles and dives down looking for the whole, once he finds it he practices holding his breath until he thinks he can hold long enough to get thru the cave. The day before they go jerry decides to go thru the cave and he comes out victorious. Jerry doesn't really rejoice in his accomplishment but he does say to his mom out of nowhere

These excerpts are two very different story, yet they have the same moral, it doesn’t matter what or who you are, it about what you can do. This essay is going to be about that, I will provide two pieces of dialogue and explain how they reveal aspects of the characters, and provide four incidents that propels the action in these two stories, and finally I will review everything in the passage below.

A failure within the profession of civil engineering is exhibited within the flaws of the implementation of the design of the M5 tunnel ventilation system. The flaws lead to higher than expected pollution levels which in return imposed health and safety risks on nearby residents and drivers. Opened in December 2001, the project was experimental in nature as a result of lack of testing of any changes in the design. Several aspects of the original design were changed for the ventilation system including reducing the number of exhaust stacks as well as the height and location changes of the stack. In the original design three exhaust stacks were to be located above the tunnel which was located near residential zones.

Is a goal sometimes to much to handle in life? With the character Jerry in the story “Through The Tunnel”, written by Doris Lessing, this is not the case. Jerry is a very determined young boy, whose journey is to get train and get through an underwater tunnel. Jerry is such a believable character because he never gives up on what he wants to achieve which is swimming through the tunnel.

Jerry tries to act older so that he can fit in with the boys. When

Certain choices are made by the individuals and in most of the cases; choices are based on the surroundings of the individuals. One of the main aims of the paper is to compare and contrast two characters from selected short stories. The first character is Sylvia from "The Lesson" written by Toni Cade Bambara and the Narrator from the poem written by Robert Frost "The Road Not Taken". The reason to compare Sylvia and The Narrator is to compare the choices made by an individual.
