    I Am Legend Comparison Essay

    In 2007, Francis Lawrence made a movie version of Richard Matheson’s classic novel I am Legend starring Will Smith. I am Legend follows the story of a man named Robert Neville who is the sole survivor of a deadly virus epidemic in which the virus has affected everyone and turned them into vicious monsters of the night (vampires). Though both the novel and the movie follow the same basic plot each version has their own similarities and differences, which work to their own benefit. Some of the similarities and differences between the novel and the film include the location, the monsters (vampires/dark seekers), Robert Neville himself and the biggest of them all the ending (alternate ending more on that later). In my opinion the novel by Richard Matheson is vastly superior to it’s film version because he makes us feel as if we’re with Neville as he’s struggling coming to terms being the last human on planet Earth.…

    Character Analysis Arthur Radley

    Envision a house that “was once white” but now “darkened to the color of the slate-gray yard around it” with “rain-rotted shingles” and “oak trees that kept the sun away”(Lee, 10). This might not sound like a place that a generous and caring man would live in, but in To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, a mysterious and important character, Arthur “Boo” Radley, is the most significant source of pure kindness and endearment in the entire novel. Arthur Radley is the phantom of a small 1930 Alabama town known as Maycomb in which the book is set in. The town has created a reputation and backstory for him that includes stalking people at night while looking through windows and eating raw squirrels. Not to mention he has become the scapegoat for…
