    There are many differences between the movie and the play. The film takes place in Salem Massachusetts in 1692. The main actors are proctor, Abigail, judge danforth, Elizabeth, Paris, and hale. The first that I noticed is that in the movie when Abigail is trying to wake Betty up the girls that were also dancing with them in the woods were also trying to wake Betty up. The book and the movie have many differences but not big differences in the movie many of the scenes are outside while during the play most of the scenes are inside because it is hard to make an outside scene during a play.…

    Early on in Annie John, the mid-twentieth century Antigua narrative, there arrive a conflict between the main character Annie and her manners teacher, “someone who knew all about manners and how to meet and greet important people of the world” (AJ 27-28). This incident prefigures many other complications and troubles that she has in dealing with gender and sexual inequalities of the African-Caribbean females under British colonial rule. The Autobiography of My Mother also signals that Xuela too, in early twentieth century Dominica, will have multiple struggles with her deep resentment and rebellion against gender and sexual inequality under British patriarchal colonial rule. The reason for Annie’s and Xuela’s rejection of British colonial rule seems to be inspired by their discernment…

    The definition of value differs by circumstances, feelings, or experiences. Perhaps someone thinks that community is valuable, and perhaps another suggests that family is valuable because people’s preference can characterize in various ways. Although Malcolm Gladwell’s “Marita’s Bargain” depicts that Marita focuses on education rather than her life, “A Walk to the Jetty” by Jamaica Kincaid illustrates that Annie’s family and her own memories are essential to her. In spite of the differences, both stories portray the scenes that main characters sacrifice each of their own willingness. Thus, based on the two stories, individual’s value decides whether they are required to make sacrifices in order to achieve success.…
