High Noon Compare And Contrast

Decent Essays
The short story The Most Dangerous Game and the film High Noon can be very similar and different. In both the film and short story it was about a guy and he had to kill the other to survive. They were wrote or directed about ten years apart from each other so they are in the same time frame. They are both action packed and very unpredictable. Even though the two men fought alone they still won the battle The Most Dangerous Game and High Noon both have their differences. For example in High Noon Will Kane fights the bandits in the streets of his own town( through it she now sees Kane in the street" (Foreman). In Most Dangerous Game Rainsford fights General Zerof on his island "Is there big game on this island". Also zerof was very welcoming

For fifty-six years, Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning To Kill a Mockingbird has been an influential social commentary on prejudice in the deep south.

    Often people say that one will “find love in a hopeless place” and that “love conquers all”. Though some people disagree with this statement, it is often an idea that makes people stay strong through their hardships. These common ideas is what ultimately drives the characters in A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khalaed Hosseini and Life is Beautiful directed by Roberto Benigni to survive in their unjust circumstances. In A Thousand Splendid Suns, two women, Mariam and Laila have to stay strong throughout their life in war torn Afghanistan.

    Do not go gentle into that good night by Dylan Thomas is about the subject of death, but the theme is focused on fighting against death and gives the reader a sense of control over death by never giving up. The poem tells us not to give up easily when it says “Rage, rage against the dying the light” (Thomas, 659), which indicates a fight. The tone is angry and it uses assonance by repeating O’s sounds over and over, showing repetition similar to someone punching someone repeatedly giving the reader a feeling of control over death. The use of assonance by using words like do, not, go, into, and good create a repetitive effect of doing something over and over and never giving up. There is a one simile to point out in the fifth stanza where it…

    Heather Ostman’s article “The Sun Also Rises” from the Encyclopedia of the American Novel begins with an explanation of the book’s title. The Sun also Rises gets its name from Ecclesiastes, which is also quoted at the beginning of the book along with a quote from Gertrude Stein about the Lost Generation. Ostman notes that the connection of Ecclesiastes hopefulness with Stein’s hopelessness sustain the feeling of meaninglessness and alienation of the characters of the book following the Great War. In The Sun Also Rises as well as other books from the time period, love seems to fail time and time again, as relationships cannot be sustained or produce children. Love seems futile in this era, Ostman points out in this work as well as in T. S. Eliot’s…
