I am comparing the short stories The cask of Amontillado by edgar Allen Poe and the Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell. The similarity is they both involve killing. The differences are one is killing for fun the other is killing for revenge. One took place on a island the other at a fair and catacombs. One started over a insult the other over things he hunts.
The similarities are they both involve killing people (p.26) (p.12). They are killing innocent people. They both started as friends at first then they turned on each other. They were out to kill each other. They both had a plane whether it would work or not they don't know.
The differences are one of the people are killing for revenge (p7) the other for fun (p26). In the Cask

    Edgar Allen Poe’s narrative, “The Cask of Amontillado,” emphasizes the protagonist’s clever, jealous, and vengeful actions.

    To continue moving on to their similarities both of the narrators on the tales share the same action which is murder. As I mentioned above at the end both of them are truly guilty towards their crime of taking life's away for their own desire to stay in peace with their conscience, and as a result of that end up confessing their crime because the guilt and mind consumes them.

Also, when it comes to an end for both narrators they both play their last card by explaining their unstable mental issues with facts of confession and the logic.…

    Heroes typically have the characteristics of being strong and fearless. The ancient hero Gilgamesh had these ideals in the story the Epic of Gilgamesh, written in Western Asia in 2000 B.C.E.

However, in almost every book, no matter what the culture or time period are, the same basic themes of character traits, power and death recur.…

    Comparing The Sniper And Cranes

    The Sniper and Cranes have differences that give two opposite ideas of the story. The main focus of The Sniper targets the civil war and the repercussions that follow it, whereas Cranes focuses on the loyalty one has to family and friends. The Sniper expresses the toll the war has taken on the soldier and how it affects him by giving detail about the feelings and thoughts he has about the war. The author wants the reader to know that the sniper is dedicated to his duty and does not think twice about the decisions he has to make. In Cranes, the opposite occurs; Songsam goes out of his duty and gives Tokchae the chance to escape instead of taking him to be killed, as he volunteered to do in the first place.…
