They both tell how there needs to be change. In the outsiders page 48 it says “But I gotta do something, It seems like there's gotta be someplace without greasers or socs with just normal people.” This shows that he wishes things would change. He wishes that there wasn't any so called gangs. It also says in page 41 “Maybe the two different worlds we lived in were not so different,” This shows that the people were alike but they need to change so they can actually realize it. In the Inaugural…

To begin this compare and contrast paper, we will be taking three subjects and finding the similarities and differences; the Great Gatsby 1974 movie, the 2013 movie, and the book. First, we will be comparing the 1974 movie and the book. In the book Gatsby had sailed with the rich sailor Dan, Cody and when Dan Cody died, Gatsby had hoped to receive a large sum of money, but when the will came out he received quite a lot less than he previously thought he would be given. As a result, he was…

Pulp Fiction is a film directed by Quentin Tarantino, which stars John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, and Samuel L. Jackson, and it was released October 14, 1994. It takes a very different approach to film by using a vignette style with each vignette not necessarily in order. It follows the lives of several characters that revolve around the gang boss Marcellus Wallace, and how they intertwine. Vincent (Travolta) and Jules (Jackson) are two hitmen for Marcellus and they are charged with…

A movie versus a book the age-old debate but how much can they differ when telling a story about something as universal terrible like the Holocaust? This is what I intend to find out when comparing the movie Life is Beautiful (directed by Roberto Benigni) to the book Night (Elie Wiesel). The most notable way these two differ is in the way they are presented (book vs movie), their plot and most importantly the reason they both were created in the first place. The most glaring way these two work…

numerous examples of referencing works of art, including painting, poetry, music or literature, in works that precede the art. The idea of comparison and reference of a previous work can be clearly seen in the movie Apocalypse Now, directed by Francis Coppola in the year 1979. This movie has ties to the book Heart of Darkness written by Joseph Conrad in the year 1899. Both works reference the idea of corruption and the true American society. The movie provides the reader with a different…

There is no denying that George Lucas’ Star Wars is one of the greatest film franchises that will ever exist on the big screen. The Force Awakens, the newest film, has been criticized by some fans for copying the story of the original 1977 trilogy. Although there are some similarities between the two films’ plots, the story of the original films can be connected to the heroic plot traditions of Lord Raglan, and Luke Skywalker’s character reflects the virtues outlined in Alasdair MacIntyre’s…

The Outsiders S.E Hintion The Curtis brothers in The Outsiders have a lot in common but all three of them have different personalities. In my essay I am going to talk about the similarities that they have and the differences that they have because the Curtis brothers have a lot of differences and a lot of similarities. The first topic is Ponyboy. Ponyboy is one of the shy people in the book. He is kind of weak and punny and doesn't have that many friends. He has pretty long hair and is kind…

The Outsiders, written by S.E. Hilton and released on 1967 was a compelling novel. The book depicted the violence between two gangs, the Socs and the Greasers, as well as discrimination of the poor and lower class. The Socs were described as upper class snobs that always got what they wanted. The greasers were described as long haired kid-brothers that always stuck up for each other but couldn’t stop getting into trouble. Later in 1983 The Outsiders novel was created into a movie. Although both…
