Monkey's Paw Compare And Contrast Essay

Improved Essays
I will be comparing the book and movie of a monkey’s paw. I think it is very important the we know how to compare things.

The same thing in both the movie and the text was the beginning when the son and dad play chess. Then they wait for the sergeant. Next the sergeant tells about how he gained the monkey’s paw. The dad then took the monkey’s paw.

In both movie and book, the dad makes a wish for 300 pounds. So therefore the son dies. The dad recieves the money out of the conversation

In my opinion both the movie and the book are both very strange, confusing, and some very inapropriate words in the movie. The book was more confusing than the movie. They both were also very weird. That is what i think about the movie and the book and the similarities and differences between the two.

Bebo is the villian because he was rude to Rudy. Rudy is also the innocent youth because he never gave up on his dreams. Last but not least Alfredo is the mentor because he guides Rudy.

The story I chose is called Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. In Rikki-Tikki-Tavi the hero is Rikki because he saves the animals. Nag and Nagana are the villians because their the snakes. The innocent youth is Chuchandra because he’s a broken hearted beast. Dad is the mentor because he teaches Rikki how to live his life and what is good and bad.

These two stories are alike or similar because they both have a hero, a villian, a innocent youth, and a mentor.

I think Rikki-Tikki-Tavi has the best hero, villian,innocent youth, and mentor, because the reasons that they are these things are more detailed.

This is how i think That October and Rikki-Tikki-Tavi are alike and different.

My character is going to be BobbiAnn Richardson. Bobbi is an awesome person, friend, and says what she thinks.

    The movie is very different from the book because sometimes in the book they include more details than in the movie. In the movies they spend a lot of time filming everything and sometimes one scene takes all day to film.

    A lot of people make bad choices in their life that they wish they could take back but they can’t take it back. This is also proven in a lot of books since characters in books make mistakes all the time, and we can see what the bad choices are before the characters in the book figure it out. This is shown in “The Monkey’s Paw,” when a character named Mr. White makes three poor decisions that affect the outcome of the story. The first bad choice that Mr. White had done was, that he had taken the monkey’s paw in the first place.…

Arash Farzaneh defines existentialism as the measurement of humankind’s “responsibility when facing a universe devoid of laws.” Fundamentally unbound by religious conviction, humankind is required to take responsibility for their actions accordingly if they are to be truly free (Farzaneh). Jacobs establishes through his character Mr. White that humanity must accept responsibility for their own choices, regardless of the consequences that may follow.…
