Many novels out there can change an individual 's views on his/her global vision, and they may even change the way they look at humanity and learn a few truths about humanity. In this comparative essay the similarities and differences of The White Tiger, by Aravind Adiga and 419, by Will Ferguson, will be identified, and the similarities and differences will be used to identify what global vision exists and what universal lessons are being enforced through the global visions. Also how these two books do change an individual’s global vision and can reveal a few universal lessons about humanity. Problems such as revolting entrepreneurs, colonizing countries and breaking human rights show how universal lessons develop.

In The White Tiger an entrepreneur had to make a hard decision that involves murder to be successful, because according to him “only a man who is prepared to see his family destroyed-hunted, beaten, and burned alive by the masters-can break out of the coop” (Adiga 150). Same goes for the 419 where the entrepreneur is evil and makes his money illegally to start his business, but his business involves stealing from others and causing death. However he believes that he is “not a thief, nor a murderer. [but] an entrepreneur” (Ferguson 344). These two similarities teach people that in developing countries a person must be dark and revolting to achieve success and one must have no heart or conscience. On the other hand, one entrepreneur can only make it so far since his business is a very dangerous one that there is a police force who has the job of catching people like this. In The White Tiger the entrepreneur’s goal is successful as he says in the end “I’ve made it! I’ve broken out of the coop!” (Adiga 295). In 419 the success of the entrepreneur is a different story since he gets caught and the person who catches him says, “shall I hang up and call the EFCC? They will destroy you, Winston. They will destroy your life, they will destroy your family, they will seize your assets” (Ferguson 348). The lesson that is learned here is that countries may find that in the end the way they have been taught about their culture is a lot worse then the new way of their culture, example, The White Tiger, or that their way is better than the new way that the British taught them, example,
