Both poems seem to recreate the past whether
When somebody does something bad or illegal, there are consequences; Whether it results in karma, punishments, or even a jail sentence, these consequences are solely based upon our actions, or, at least we would hope. In the book Warriors Don’t Cry by Melba Pattillo Beals, we learn that our actions do have repercussions, but we also learn that those of which we receive can be unjust and biased. The memoir follows the true story of Pattillo Beals, one of the nine original black students to integrate into Little Rock Central High School, in 1957 Arkansas. Throughout her journey, she and her fellow colored peers receive relentless hate and unjust treatment from both students and school staff. Minnijean is Melba's closest friend in the group.
These are similarities because they both tell how the song hypnotizes people. Another difference is the excerpt has a lot of imagery to describe the settings, the way something feels or the descriptions of something that is happening. The poem doesn’t have any imagery in it rather it has forms of manipulation, sarcasm, and Irony. These affect the rhythm of the story and the theme of both passages.
The same thing goes for “On the Pulse of The Morning”. There really isn’t a different message between the poems they both say that we are the same but we still have our own unique features. We created the
The stories, even though they are written at different times, are written in very similar tone; both are written in a depressing tone. Most of the stories contain repetition of sad events like where Harlan Ellison uses “And it goes
The song and the poem are easy to compare, as they have many resemblances. They both take place in cold weather. This is shown in the poem, “A wind came out of a cloud, chilling/ My beautiful Annabel Lee;”(Poe)
Sit Down or Stand up? I find it interesting how two people striving to achieve the same goal could have such different ways in which they plan to do so. In this case, they were polar opposites from each other. Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. du bois both wanted equality of all races but their methods of how they were going to do that were very different. Booker T. and W.E.B. were both african american men that lived in a time period where african american people were discriminated against.
La“Evil rarely comes in the form of monsters, but rather in the form of relatively normal people who, for reasons of careers, idealology, or a desire for society’s approval, are indifferent to the human consequences of their actions”-Hannah Arendt. In both the fictional case of Mayella Ewells and the non-fictional case with Ruby Bates, they revealed their evil natures in the pursuit of careers and society’s approval. It can certainly be seen the influence that society has had on Mayella and Ruby to shape them as victims and accusers. Mayella Ewell and Ruby Bates have both been shaped into victims by society and their families. Mayella and Ruby both grew up in very poor families that lived in black communities and had bad living situations at home.
But they also both deal with choices and endurance of consequences from that choice. One of several particular elements in each of the stories that best emphasize the theme is the usage of figurative language in each text. Some of the different types of figurative language each author used is simile, personification, and metaphor’s. Another way that the author expressed the theme is in the story is the limitations of the American Dream for African Americans. Whereas in the poem, the author used sort of a cause and effect scenario.
The way both are about the painful truth about love. In the poem “Everything We Do,” the first two lines talk about losing their first love, “everything we do is for our first loves; whom we have lost irrevocably.” This feels similar to The Great Gatsby’s words of “he stretched out his hand desperately as if to snatch only a wisp of air, to save a fragment of the spot that she had made lovely for him. But it was all going by too fast now for his blurred eyes and he knew that he had lost that part of it, the freshest and the best, forever.” These both have the same topics of trying to chase love which they have already lost.
They both relate to each other in a couple of ways how the main characters in both stories hallucinate and have an ambition for something.
One key concept of both of the stories are the similarities of the characters. Both stories have a male protagonist who is very distraught over his love’s death which Poe “calls the most poetical topic in the world. ”(“Good Reads”). Both unnamed protagonists are in a very dark place in their
The themes of the two poems are the same in that they are both poems about anticipating the loss of a parent. The fathers in these poems appear to be at the end of their life. Similarly, both poets
First, they are written around the same time period and both about blacks being discriminated. Both the poems gave African Americans a little bit of hope that one day they will be allowed to be around whites and looked at as the same. These poems may be different, but they both have the same meaning. If anyone is going through a rough time in their life, they can overcome it. Blacks were treated terribly and went through some of the roughest times, but they never stopped fighting and never lost hope.
Even though both of these stories include the theme of reaching for something you don’t quite have may be in place in totally different texts that use their imagery in different ways, you can still find similar themes in both pieces of
