There are two stories I will be comparing and contrasting. The first story is called “Two Friends” by Guy De Maupassant. The other story is called “The Interlopers” by Saki. The first element I will be contrasting from the two stories is the character. In the story the “Two Friends” the two friends were really great friends and they would go fishing together every Sunday. While in the story “The Interlopers” Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym are enemies. They are fighting over land and they don’t like each other in the beginning at all and they were about to kill each other. This shows that the story “Two Friends” and “The Interlopers” are almost the opposite of each other. The next element would be conflict. Conflict is very

The plot describes the story very well with the characters, rising action, climax, falling action and resolution. In the first story, “Two Friends” the main characters are M.Sauvage and M.Morisot. The rising action is when the Prussians showed up, the two friends stopped fishing and the Prussians pointed guns at them and asked them for the password. The climax is the two friends were killed by the Prussians because they didn’t say anything. The falling action is the two friends being thrown in the river by the Prussian guards and the officer. The resolution is the officer told the guards to take their fish and eat it. The characters for “The Interlopers” is Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym. The rising action is Ulrich von Gradwitz and his men search his enemy. They confront each other face to face, but the beech tree around which they have moved in opposite directions fails on them. Ulrich then attempts to reconcile with Georg and offer him some win. The climax is when Ulrich and Georg became friends. In the story it states “Lets shout for help….in this lull our voices may carry a little way.” This shows that Ulrich and Georg are not arguing anymore and they decide to call for help. The falling action is almost the same as the climax the two men call out for help together shows that they have embraced the idea of unifying. The resolution is when they …show more content…
The story is taken place from 1870-1871. Morissot and Sauvage run into each other in the city, but leave to go fishing. Maupassant’s peaceful descriptions of weather and landscape are set directly against descriptions of the war.These sets of peaceful and pleasant scenery descriptions serve as a counterpoint to the ongoing war, which regularly intrudes on what seems to be a peaceful outing. This is a significant period of war, and there is a lot of ongoing violence and threats from the attacking Germans and Prussians. Maupassant vividly describes how peaceful and wonderful the fishing spot used to be: 'In the spring. . . the early sun caused a light mist to float on the water. But in the story “The Interlopers” the story takes place in a wooded forest in the Carpathian Mountains that extend through parts of Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Serbia and the Ukraine. The setting is also a “narrow strip of precipitous woodland” that the families of the two main characters have been conflicting over for several generations. When the two main characters are out hunting on this piece of land, the setting is described in a way that emphasizes the danger it represents, as one character
