Thomas Lystad Tackett 12/8/15 Per. 3 Abigail Admas and John Adams By Pat McCarthy and Dan Elish My books are John Adams and Abigail Adams and they are written by Pat McCarthy and Dan Elish.
The Hitchhiker is a radio play that has partnered up with The Twilight Zone and made into a T.V. show. They both stand with a lot of similarities, but they also have a few differences. They had many similarities. Some similarities include where they were going.
There are many similarities between “The Hitchhiker” and The Twilight Zone. The first example is that Adams is driving to California. The second example is that the hitchhiker is invisible. In both versions, when Adams asks about the hitchhiker, others deny seeing him. The third example is that Adams calls home at the end to speak with a relative.
There are several similarities and several differences between Lucille Fletcher's 1941 radio play, The Hitchhiker, and the 1960 Twilight Zone episode of the same name. In this story, the driver travels from New York to California and sees the same Hitchhiker multiple times during the trip. In similarities, Nan and Ronald were both worried and scared after seeing the hitchhiker after a few times and called and talked to their mother. While talking to their mothers, they both find out that their mothers were in the hospital because they were to nervous. They met someone new and let them in the in the car, and never admitted to seeing the hitchhiker until the run off the road.
Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Black Cat” uses inner thinking along w/ Lucille Fletcher’s “The Hitchhiker” while they have many big differences. They are largely similar in theme and purpose of author's craft moves. “The Black Cat” is about a man who harms cat because of drink. “The Hitchhiker is about a man named Adams who goes on a cross-country trip to LA. Both text share the same idea that they change without themselves knowing.
Ghost stories, surprise twists, and the unknown are all elements that a lot of audiences enjoy. In Lucille Fletcher’s The hitchhiker a man is going on a trip; however, this is not an average road trip. Instead, Ronald Adams continues to see a mysterious man over and over again. Seeing this man is driving Adams to the edge of insanity.
A Comparison of George Saunders Works Jayme Fields Central Ohio Technical College Abstract This paper is an analysis, interpretation, and comparison of two different readings “The Red Bow” and “Adams” written by the same author, George Saunders.

Each paragraph explains my discernment of each of the elements and how they made the story what it is. red bow, Adams in his underwear Main Body
Venturing out of the realm of black coffee felt scary and different. Adam’s thoughts began to race because for the first time, maybe, just maybe, he was onto something. Perhaps, he was getting closer to his and humanities eternal question of: what’s the
In the film adaptation of the novel, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, some of the original aspects that make the novel so timeless are not included in the movie. However, due to the vastly different medium that film is and the abstractness of the novel, it makes sense why some things would have to change in order for the story to transfer to the screen successfully. While many die-hard fans of the novel denounce the film version of their beloved story, others celebrate the presence of Adams’ wit in the movie especially through the cartoon representations of the guide entries. First of all, the Hitchhiker’s Guide is pictured much differently in the movie than in the novel.
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is a unique piece of literature that captures the absurdity through the use of humor. Douglas Adams’ use of absurdity sheds a light on the broader human emotions using ridiculousness and silliness. He uses the incongruity theory of humor. For instance, when something violates our mental patterns and expectations we mix humor and irrational events to bring laughter. Although it is certain both the book and the movie contrast in many ways, they both share the theme of absurdity where very few things end up fulfilling our expectations.
As an author, Douglas Adams has created some of the most uniquely written works of literature that I have yet to come across. He was a man with an exceptional talent to interpret his mind through his creativity. This is revealed in his literary work, scripts, lectures, and the things he achieved and engaged in during the course of his life. His creations have made an impact on history and the minds of his audience.
If I had to memorize a book or risk its extinction I would choose The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy because it is a humorous book that doesn’t take itself too seriously. I feel that many people could learn from this. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is a comedic adventure novel following Englishman Arthur Dent who not only is having a bad what with his house being torn down for a bypass and narrowly escaping the destruction of Earth by an alien race known as the Vorgons for ,ironically, an intergalactical bypass in a spaceship with his alien best friend Ford Perfect.
The amazing adventures of “The Hitchhiker” You won't believe what happens in Lucille Fletcher’s “The Hitchhiker,” Ronald Adams is running away from his problems but he keeps making them worse by chasing after them. This means that the more he runs away the angrier this man gets. Another theme that I found was that death is coming to claim what is rightfully his. This means that this mysterious man is trying to take something thing back that was once his.
The book I choose to read is; My Life in Leadership: The Journey and Lessons Learned Along the Way by Frances Hesselbein, Foreword by Jim Collins. This book was published by Jossey-Bass February 2011. I choose this book because I wanted to read a book about a female leader and to get her perspective on leadership. After searching for a while and not finding any books of interest I stumbled across this title. An excerpt of the book peaked my interest; as a former Girl Guide Brownies I wanted to learn more as Mrs. Hesselbein was the CEO of the Girl Scouts of America for 13 years.
