The Scavenger Hunt Comparison

Improved Essays
I chose to read the Death Cure because I had previously read the first two books of the series by James Dasher, the Maze Runner and the Scorch Trials. Each book takes the reader on one of the trails of Thomas and some of the other boys whom are immune to the Flare, a disease the keeps adapting and eventually makes them go insane. The people of Wicked repeatedly capture Thomas and his friends and are attempting to make a cure. Wicked members intended to perform brain surgery on Thomas and his friends to allegedly return their memories, however they do not trust the people from Wicked. I enjoyed how the characters, like Newt, Thomas, and Minho, have such a strong family connection, even though they are only friends, and how they are willing

    Hatchet vs. A Cry in the Wild I think Hatchet did a way better job of telling the story. In “A Cry in the Wild” they had to skip many things to keep the movie so it's not to long. And in Hatchet, the author lists all the details to give a great image in your mind.…

    I believe that Hatchet doses a better job of telling the story. I believe this because, Hatchet gives more details than the movie “A Cry In The Wild” does. In Hatchet he went to sleep like three times after the plane had crashed in the pound. But in the movie he just went to sleep ones. Also in the novel Brien called the barriers gut barriers, but in the movie he called them throw-up barriers.…

    I believe that Hatchet does a better job of telling the story. I believe this because Hatchet gives us more details than the movie. In the movie “A Cry in the wild” they change more things and it is not very similar to the book. In the book it says that Brian was in the plane and all the sudden he smelt something and did not understand then Brian knew what it was it the pilot passing gas. In the movie the only thing that the pilot did was clutched his shoulder but did not pass gas.…

    Comparison of “The Most Dangerous Game” and the “Young Goodman Brown” This essay will compare two short stories: Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Young Goodman Brown and Richard Connell’s The Most Dangerous Game. Works do not have similarities at the first sight. Stories are about a century apart (were published in 1835 and 1924 respectively), have different plots, types of characters and conclusions. However, it is possible to make a comparison and find both similarities and differences in these stories. Events in the Young Goodman Brown took place in 17th century.…

    The Christmas Hunt

    I think the theme to the story “The Christmas Hunt” by Borden Deal is about “knowing when you’re ready for something.” Christmas was coming and Tom wanted to join in on the Christmas Hunt that his dad and his friend’s do every year. There was evidence in the text about this and also evidence that his parents thought he wasn't ready; “‘I’m old enough to go on the Christmas hunt,’ I said. Incredibly. my father laughed.…

    From Iphones and Hybrid Cars to Biotechnological Engineering our world has been injected with the technology of the future. In many ways this can be great, however there is always a catch. In both The Death Cure and The Pedestrian we learn that a technology enhanced future can deprive us of our freedom. Both stories show a longing for a world that is not infected with the technology. On page 289 of The Death Cure, Thomas goes back to the glade he once called home.…

    Brain Games Lab Report

    This lab sounds exciting. In my high school, human anatomy class, we did an activity that was very like the two-point discrimination across the skin activity. That was almost 3 years ago so I am excited to re-try the activity and see if I can do any better than I did in high school. Along with the visual lab activity I think that the tasks will be difficult. Although I have not done an activity like the peripheral vision cards or an activity such as looking at the jerky or smooth movements of the eye; however, I have watched episodes of “Brain Games,” which focuses on ways to trick your brain.…

    She doesn’t want to miss out on things in life, such as playing hockey, that she wouldn’t normally have to if she wasn’t born for the sole purpose of keeping her sister alive. However, if I was in Anna’s situation I would have donated everything I could to my sister to keep her alive. The difference is that Anna had been donating since the day she was born, and I’ve never had to donate anything or give anything up because of it. Since we find out in the end that Anna wanted to donate and that Kate wanted her to fight against it so she could die, I found that I differed from Anna’s character in this aspect of the book. I wouldn’t have listened to my sister and I would have tried even harder to keep her alive.…

    The Eureka Hunt Analysis

    • 1350 Words

    When was the last time you sat in silence and reflected upon your life? I mean real silence and real reflection, not soft music in your headphones-silence and thinking about what to have for dinner-reflection. And even more than that: when was the last time you felt like you were in a space and time appropriate for silence and self-reflection? In a society where it is increasingly heard not to be overwhelmed with noise as soon as we step outside our house (and sometimes, even before that), it almost feels as if our right to silence, which should be indubitable, has been stripped away from us. Traffic, advertising, cellphones ringing, texting, tweeting, people working, always talking, always moving, always making noise.…

    Think Piece Comparison

    While both the Extended Short Course Essay and the Think Piece have their own respective advantages and disadvantages, I found that the Think Piece was more enjoyable to write. The biggest similarity between the Extended Short Course Essay and the Think Piece is the content. While the language, voice, and discourse varied between the pieces, the points that I made were relatively the same in both of the pieces. In both of the Extended Short Course Essay and the Think Piece I supported my points by using evidence that can be seen through specific TV shows. I still had to guide the audience through my thought processes in both of the pieces, so the usual conventions of writing stayed the same between the Extended Short Course Essay and the Think…
