What Is The Difference Between A Song Of Ice And Fire

Decent Essays
Early on in the series A Song Of Ice And Fire George RR Martin forshadows many, series changing plot twists and important plot lines. One of which occurs when Tyrion Lannister and Jon Snow are on their way to the wall for Jon to join the brotherhood of the nights watch. The two exchange stories of their childhood and past, during this Tryion drops a subtle line which many don’t read to much into because kids have wild dreams “I always wanted to ride a dragon” and “Sometimes I would look into the fire and imagine I was riding one.” However, I think there’s more here that begs to be looked at. I think that this quote forshadows Tyrions alliance with Danaerys who is the mother of Dragons. Also, I thought of something deeper, than just his alliance.

    Filled with lavish descriptions and poignant anecdotes, In Cold Blood by Truman Capote is a compelling account of the murders of the Clutter family in the small town of Holcomb, Kansas. In this piece Capote attempts to produce a new variety of nonfiction: the nonfiction novel. Critics such as Conrad Knickerbocker praise Capote for his success in creating a cinematic experience within a nonfiction book, whereas others such as Stanley Kauffmann criticize him for an unnecessarily detailed piece about a simple murder. Although both Kauffmann and Knickerbocker have reasonable and justifiable arguments, both present perspectives that are debatable. In Cold Blood is filled with gratuitous and excessive details to obscure the shallow manner of the book, however, it does not fail to intrigue and engage.…

    Gloria Skurzynski's Nethergrave and Ray Bradbury's A Sound of Thunder follow science fiction wholeheartedly, from Nethergrave's digital facade, to A Sound of Thunder's time traveling, and chaos theory. However, looking past A Sound of Thunder's summary, stands the differing contrasts of each of it's characters, and the conflicts of morals. As for Nethergrave, it only properly characterizes the main character, often leaving the others in vague light, and it's science fiction elements are left feeling improbable; without explanation. When considering concepts from both works, character development, theme, and technology, A Sound of Thunder triumphs. Nethergrave's explanation, and presentation of it's unbelievable technology, through the Nethergrave video game, is often hard to follow, and feels more supernatural than scientific.…

    The best way to get the biggest adrenaline rush out of life is by taking adventures. Adventures come along almost everyday without our knowledge because we fail to notice them sometimes.
