To get the ball rolling In my opinion Hatchet does a great job of using imagery and foreshadowing then “A Cry in the Wild”. I believe that because in Hatchet when Brian Robinson was fighting the enormous moose it said about all the injuries the cuts, scrapes, wounds and scars. Think about how the moose with the caboose knocked him into the nasty, slimy, swampy, water, and after all of that Brian still was strong enough to pray the tornado will hit the moose caboose. The next way is, I practically didn’t notice when Brian threw the hatchet at the gnarly, dirty, porcupine and missed, then hit the rock I hardly noticed the sparks.…
Whereas, in “A Cry in the Wild” it’ll be one thing after another. What do you mean by that? Well what I’m trying to say is, something very helpful will happen, and then a living thing will come out and attack him. I also think that Hatchet did a better job at foreshadowing and imagery. I know this because, in the plane the pilot taught Brian how to fly, which lead to him driving the plane after the heart attack.…

Into the Wild vs Walden Into the Wild, a book about a man who ran away from childhood problems and decided to walk into the wilderness by himself after getting rid of all of his materialistic items including his car and money, and Walden, a book about a man who fled towards simplicity and solitude to understand what life was really about, are two incredible books. The stories are timeless and will likely still be talked about in fifty years. The protagonists, Thoreau and Chris, shared many similarities and differences. One big difference between them is their motives for leaving the city and going into the wilderness; Thoreau wanted to live life to the fullest, while Chris wanted to leave the problems at home. Both Chris and Thoreau rejected…
Moreover, Cry the Beloved Country, along with The Fault in Our Stars clearly represents the ability to overcome fear with the power of love among the characters. Love and fear are both described as consequently strong emotions when Gary Wilson states that “love tends to breed more love, and fear tends to breed more fear. It’s up to us” (Wilson 1). Although fear is a commanding emotion that mainly takes control of the human body, love is just as powerful as fear and reminds humans to rejoice their positive emotions. The author of Cry, The Beloved Country explains that love is a better option rather than dealing with suffering by having Kumalo state "pain and suffering, they are a secret.…

Heart of Darkness and Things Fall Apart shows the apparent ways that Joseph Conrad and Chinua Achebe differ in ways of presenting Africa in the colonization era. Conrad and Achebe books shows the difference between an Afrocentric and Eurocentric viewpoint. Joseph Conrad’s depictions of the Africans as savages an in a very racist undertone causes Chinua Achebe to write Things Fall Apart through the viewpoint of the natives of different tribes to show Africans, not as uncivilized savages, but as members of a very hierarchy society that is not too much different from the Europeans. One way Conrad’s views about Europeans to make the look as if they were higher beings to the African tribes was in his description of Marlow.…
