While reading both Glass Menagerie and A Raisin in the Sun I noticed a few similarities within all the characters, but mainly I saw the most similarities and differences between the two mothers in both plays. One of the most important parts of each of these stories is the relationship between the children and their mothers. The mothers are both very similar and also, very different from each other. The father figure is missing with both of these stories. Both the mothers, Amanda and Mama are…

When one thinks of two towns, most people generally assume that these towns share practically no differences whatsoever. However, if one can properly analyze two specific towns, Bensalem, Pennsylvania, and Bethlehem, New York, their assumptions would quickly be proven wrong because of the varying differences of these towns. Among these differences are the environments of the towns, as well as the effect of technology on the two contrasting communities. Bethlehem is a rural community that…

many similarities and differences, the ( book ) was more effective in telling the story. First of all is the scene where the rumble takes place, this was a very important part of the two of them. The first comparable scene is when ( the greasers went to the rumble. ) In both the book and movie they did really well on showing the emotions of characters. I would say that the similarity is with how they described how everyone felt was great in both. There are also differences too. In the book…

The Boys in the Boat, a nonfiction novel by Daniel James Brown, and Seabiscuit a movie about horse racing, may seem like they have many more differences, but in reality they are extremely alike. For example, how the coaches and trainers will do unusual things to improve the team or jockey for their competition. Even though some of their coaching techniques are similar to the races weren’t as close in Seabiscuit compared to the Boys in the Boat. In both stories the coaches are determined, and…

by Colleen Houck. These two books have almost no similarities and that makes it easy to pick a favorite genre- whether it's historical fiction or sci/fi fantasy. To really know the differences between these two genres it's important to pay close attention to the conflict, culture, and the setting. One difference between these two genres is the conflict. Conflict in a story can really depend on the setting too. For example, in a historical fiction book, you wouldn't have to worry about what…

In “Guest of the nation” and “Barn Burning” we can find many similarities, but none greater than in the two narrators, Bonteparte and Sarty Snopes. While they may seem very different, Sarty being an 8 year old boy and boneparte a soldier in the IRA, they are more similar than most believe. The main similarity between these characters are they are faced with a decision that ultimate changes their lives forever. If we compare Boneparte and Sarty Snopes, we can see that both stories show how…

How do zodiac and astrologic readings work with Identical twins in The United States? Does being born in the same place, minutes apart seal them with the same fate? I have been fascinated with zodiac signs and horoscopes and the science behind it all for years. Being a Twin myself, though not identical, I’ve always wondered and questioned the zodiac chart system and how it could pertain to both me and my twin brother. I mean, certainly my horoscope couldn’t be exactly the same as his.…

think that they could have been from the same myth and people's interpretations were different which created two different religions. Most of the similarities are with the gods like Zeus and Indra, Hades and Yama, and Hermes and Narada. The main difference is how they thought the universe was created. Greek and Indian mythology differ on only a few thing but are a lot more alike than you may think. In Indian mythology the god of the underworld is Yama and he is depicted as being the god of…

The short stories “Arena” by Fredric Brown and “Second Variety” by Philip K. Dick consist of two, very similar, protagonists. Bob Carson, in “Arena,” turns out to be a hero, for killing the red menace by means of his courage and ingenuity. However, Major Joseph Hendricks, in “Second Variety”, ends up not succeeding in saving humanity despite similar bravery and experience. The circumstances of which they are both faced are, on the surface, very clear; they both must fight for their, and all of…
