According to the text, the book showed imagery by saying , “he widened the hole with his finger and looked inside. Just an egg.

Likewise, The Man in the High Castle by Philip K Dick depicts an alternate future, but with a slightly differed conflict. Despite this difference, characters from both books display a recurring idealism of what their world could be which motivates to take action, whatever that action may be for the specific character For instance, in Fahrenheit 451 Guy has a certain belief of what the world could be like if books were legal to possess and embraced by the public.

Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird and Elie Wiesel’s memoir Night capture two vastly different scenarios that capture accounts of racism and the Holocaust through the eyes of children.

Instead, Night reveals the story of a young Jewish teenager whose life flips when the Nazis send him and his family to Auschwitz, where they discover the atrocities of the Holocaust.
For something to be declared great it must achieve a particular standard that rises considerably above average. In the field of philosophy there are few as great as Socrates; in the world of books, there are very few that have been considered great. Throughout history, books have been created in order to spark discussion on particular issues and to share stories with others in numerous ways. While there are countless good books, it is much more difficult to recognize a book as great. Most great books contain several similar characteristics such as a high quality of language, complexity of theme, and memorableness.

A hero’s journey consists of many mythological/archetypal characteristics--such as the characters, settings, situations, and outcomes. As unique as both stories are, The Lion King and Beowulf are great works of the hero’s journey following the mythological/archetypal path.

Just by reading the title of Philip Levine’s poem, “They Feed They Lion”, the reader is already given the implication that the poem may be somewhat cryptic to the non-analytic eye. After analyzing the title carefully, it becomes clear that the author was implying that the lion is a symbol for something bad. Just by deciphering this, one can deduce that the title is a metaphor for a group of people feeding into the said thing that is bad. Once the reader reads the poem several times though, it becomes painstakingly clear that the lion that Levine is talking about is the unprecedented hate that is so ingrained into human nature. A part of human nature that most members of the human race constantly feed into without fail.
Throughout history, we have seen that being black in America comes with the realization that you may have to learn to navigate the world differently than other groups. This can be confusing when you’re trying to find yourself in a world that doesn't truly see you. Along the way you may end up losing your individuality and end up trying to escape reality. In the novel, Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison and the memoir Black Boy by Richard Wright we are introduced to two African American characters struggling with their identities and their invisibility. While both narrators are trying to develop a sense of identity, the way they deal with their external circumstances differs greatly.
Lion, directed by Garth Davis, is a compelling interpretation of a remarkable true story of Saroo Brierley, lost as a child and reunited with his family 25 years later. Throughout Davis explores the unique circumstances under which Saroo is separated and reconnected with his family and his journey along the way. At some points of the film, I was confronted by how Saroo, a five-year-old boy, expertely navigates, with great instinct and genuine innocence, through an extended, yet life threatening ride. To put it in other words, Lion is a journey that grabs you entirely; whether you want it or not, and you are involved in each and every scene. I instantly fell in love with the connection and relationship between Saroo and his older brother
Books vs. Movies The constant battle between watching a movie and reading a book has lead to many disagreements.
