My final is about the difference between the book and the movie “The Outsiders.” This next paragraph is about the description difference between the book and movie. Then the paragraph after that will be about the description of the background or cars that the characters drive or live in. I think that the move and the book where basted of the same story but I think that when the directors made the movie with some different cars or house that can change the movie or they put different things in it so that the movie will look better. Altogether the movie and the book were pretty good and had good meaning to it about want to think of life and it’s alright to not be tough and hard.

When comparing and contrasting the two short stories “Battle Royal,” written by Ralph Ellison, and “Everyday Use,” written by Alice Walker, it is important to understand the time period in which the short stories took place. Battle Royal takes place during the 1940s. During this time period African Americans were trying to find their place in society after slavery. In the white’s eyes African Americans were free, but in reality blacks were still segregated and had no wealth, educational, economic, or social privileges. African Americans had to conform to white society to fit in, do as the white man says and be what the white man allows you to be, and you will do just fine in life.

Saki, the author of The Interlopers, is most effective in creating and developing characters. Each character is round and dynamic, changing greatly as the story progresses. They are described perfectly and the reader have a great insight as to who they are as a person and what they want in their lives. Each character has his own individual set of motivations but both men are motivated to do the same thing but with similar reasons. It was also a longer story than the others meaning that there was more space for the author to develop the characters instead of focusing on the plot.

The poems Untitled by Emily Dickinson and Acquainted With The Night by Robert Frost both deal with the themes of darkness and night. While on the surface they seem similar, they have very different meanings, which are made clear through devices such as diction, imagery, symbolism and irony. Robert Frost’s poem uses darkness as a metaphor for depression, while Dickinson uses the same symbol to mean ignorance. Both poems are told from a first-person perspective. However, Dickinson favors the pronoun “we” while Frost uses “I” almost to the point of excess.
After reading The Perfect Storm, by Sebastian Junger, I have concluded that the book kept my attention throughout, but I believe it could have improved. The storyline is scattered among many different stories, all centered around the meteorological nightmare of October of 1991. The setting, time, and place quickly change from story to story as most end in human lives being slain by the storm. I believe the movie is structured better, as it is centered around only one story, the story of a Gloucester, Massachusetts fishing crew on the Andrea Gail. I do not think the author had the experience of these men, whom he wrote about to remember and respect.
