The General History of Virginia is about John Smiths experiences in the new world, Virginia, and with the Powhatan Native Americans. Both stories consist of the firsthand experiences around them, that is all these stories share.
Thomas DiLorenzo tries to demythologize Lincoln’s reputation as a president. He does not consider that Abraham Lincoln did the job of preserving, protecting, and defending the Union, constitution, or the blacks during the greatest crisis of America.

All of the boys in both stories seem to be under unreal levels of academic stress, and reaching out for them was their best way of release from their reality. The second reason I find these two stories similar is how the boys after living with each other for years find themselves so alike, and so attached to each other. You truly notice the surreal bond these boys have when they begin taking risks and caring about one another when one of their friends die.

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.
These two can be very similar in the lesson the parents want to teach. They want to teach their kids to be independent and not needing to have them to be helped.

In "A Defense of Abortion," Judith Jarvis Thomson presents a compelling ethical argument supporting the pro-choice perspective.

Another difference in the stories are in the way celebration is held and the reason behind it. In “Young Goodman Brown” there is a celebration; a gathering amongst the townspeople but the gathering is not for sharing happy moments rather they gather as sinners. Everyone in the gathering has sinned one way or another. While in “The Prodigal Son” the celebration involved the slicing of a calf to rejoice over the return of the prodigal son.
