Have you ever believed that two stories can actually have something in common and some things that are not? Well, I will tell you some. They both have an Authors purpose. They both have animals in the story and a setting. Lastly the differences. They both have different animals. The different Authors who wrote the poem and some animals are domesticated and some are not. To start with, in lines 1-24 for “A Blessing”. The whole story mostly has an animal to deal with. In lines, 1-15 for “ predators” is also dealing with some animals. The thing that the two stories do not have is the same animals. In line 3 for “A Blessing”. The story has two Indian ponies and in lines 5 and 13 for “predators”. There is a cat and a fox. These two stories do not …show more content…
I would say the two author’s who wrote this probably loved animals and the feeling between them. These two stories both have a different meaning. One story is about two Indian who greet people. The other story is about these two animals. Which is a cat,dog and fox. Next, the authors. In “A Blessing” the author is called James Wright. He was born in 1927 to 1980. He was born in Martins Ferry, Ohio. James was known for a master of a variety of writing styles and the beauty and emotional quality of his work. In “Predators” the author is called Linda Hogan. She was born in 1947 and she is still alive. She lives in the Colorado mountains. She is an award-winning Chickasaw novelist, essayist, environmentalist, and poet. Then, some animals are domesticated and some animals are not. In line 5 for “A Blessing,” it says “They have come gladly out of the willows”. The two Indian ponies were probably tamed to welcome people to make sure that they know that the two Indian ponies were nice. In lines 10 and 11 for “Predators,” it says “The dog does not understand wild nature. I also was domesticated.” This sentence was probably meant to say that the dog was not ever domesticated so the dog can be wild and the cat wanted to get into a fight with the dog but she could not because she was domesticated to
Both poems are set in the past, and both fathers are manual labourers, which the poets admired as a child. Both poems indicate intense change in their fathers lives, that affected the poet in a drastic way. Role reversal between father and son is evident, and a change of emotion is present. These are some of the re-occurring themes in both poems. Both poems in effect deal with the loss of a loved one; whether it be physically or mentally.
While reading different stories, you can find many similarities between the texts. For example, Romeo and Juliet and Pyramus and Thisbe are two stories that have many similarities. Throughout the story, the characters have many of the same traits. Similar events take place in the two stories. All these events lead both stories to a tragic ending. Stories can be similar in many ways. The characters, the setting, and the story line itself. Stories can also be very different. One may talk about an event that will break your heart, while another might bring a smile to your face. The two stories The Man to Send Rain Clouds and Old Man at the Temple have many similarities and differences in their settings due to the place, time, and culture.
works of literature have tremendous amounts of similarity especially in the characters. Each character is usually unique and symbolizes the quality of a person in the real world. But in both stories, each character was alike, they represented honor, loyalty, chivalry, strength and wisdom. Each character is faced with a difficult decision as well as a journey in which they have to determine how to save their own lives. Both these pieces of literatures are exquisite and extremely interesting in their own ways.
Margaret Wise Brown was truly fascinated by animals, and she understood children’s attraction to animals. Tellingly, when Brown reflects on her childhood she mentions her “thirty-six rabbits, two squirrels…a collie dog, and two Peruvian hens, a Belgian hare, seven fish, and a wild robin who came back every spring” (Days Before Now). From this information about Brown, one understands where her love of animals originated--her childhood. Additionally, animals were kind to her and did not restrict or belittle Brown the way some individuals did regularly. Brown was allowed to have constant interaction with animals, which proved to be influential in her writing career. Overall, Margaret Wise Brown used numerous animals, especially rabbits because of her love for creatures and the understanding she possessed of children’s love of and interest with animals.
After reading a selection of Cherokee oral narratives, my understanding of how Cherokee look at land and animals changed. I was able to see how they personify the land and animals to make it feel as though everything is living as breathing with minds like humans. It is easy when reading the narratives to feel as though we are only piece of the life going on around us. My favorite legend was “Why The Possum's Tail Is Bare”. This story was very enjoyable to read as the different animals were given dialog and personalities. I love how they use stories to explain natural things such as why possum doesn’t have fur on his tail. The story titled “The Great Leech Of Tlanusi'yï” also seemed to be told to try to explain a natural phenomenon that they
The two stories use flashback in the same way, because in “Old Ben” the narrator tells “Old Ben” that he will be better than the other pets that the narrator had ever had, which shows that he is having a flashback and remembering the other animals that he had in the past, while in “Fox Hunt” while his mom tells the story she has to have a
different time of period and different region, but yet both stories shared similar endings and
One of the main similarities between the two narrators, is that they are both unreliable. In The Black Cat, it says, “But my disease grew upon me -- for what disease is like Alcohol!...” (The Black Cat). This shows us that the narrator is under the influence of alcohol, and therefore cannot be
In the story Life Of Pi by Yann Martel it talks about a boy who is lost at sea trying to go to Canada. In the other story The Snows Of Kilimanjaro by Ernest Hemingway talks about a man who is injured and need to get to the hospital. Even though both stories seem very similar they have some differences as well. In both of the stories the authors express the idea of death as coming in the form as an animal, they also use the animals to raise or lose hope of the protagonists, and finally the animals are used to bring pain and suffering to the protagonists as well.
In conclusion, it is common that both Beauty and the Beast stories written in different countries have their similarities and differences since the authors imagined different ideas. It makes Beauty and the Beast an even more interesting story being that there are many versions of it around the world.
Have you ever wondered why the lions of Tsavo attacked the men who were building the railroad, or why Kevin Richardson is such good friends with lions? In Attack of the man Eaters it focuses on Colonel Patterson and how they’re being attacked by 2 lions in Tsavo. Meet the Lion Whisperer focuses on Kevin Richardson and how he tries to save the lions from canned hunts, and all the other bad things they do to the lions. In Attack of the man Eaters they saw the 2 lions as devils, because they were dragging people out of their tents and eating them at night time. In Meet the Lion Whisperer the guy thinks of the lions as friends, and plays with them on a daily basis.
The personas in “Woodchucks” and “Traveling through the Dark” approach the animals’ lives in opposing ways; the first uses rational thoughts, while the latter uses emotions. In “Traveling through the Dark” the narrator, repressing emotions and keeping a level head, is able to see the recklessness in attempting to save the unborn fawn. However, the narrator in the poem “Woodchucks” succumbs to their emotions, ultimately leaving them in an incompetent and dangerous mind set. Using diction the poets are able to allow the reader to fully evaluate the relationship between the animals and the speakers. The contrasting tones of remorse and lightheartedness illustrate the different relationships between the animals and personas of each poem. The poets” choice of diction, tone, and imagery are all factors that make the poems distinctive.
The poem is written in the second person, and is narrated by the Hyena. This provides the effect of the Hyena speaking directly to the reader, or perhaps, mankind. We feel that the Hyena’s audience may well be the reader personally. At the start of the poem, the Hyena proclaims, “I am waiting for you.” This is seen as menacing towards the reader, especially when the narrator comments in the next few lines that he has not eaten. This line in the poem is effective due to its ability to involve the reader. From the beginning, the character is established to be menacing and the reader is startled, threatened even, due to this statement.
There are many ways that both "Aunty Misery" and "The Crane Maiden" are alike and different. This essay will be comparing and contrasting the stories. They have common and different things about both these two stories. This essay will be showing how these stories are alike and different.
This book is about heartwarming, unusual animal friendships. It tells us about how different these animals are, and how they have nothing in common, but they are still friends. One cute story was about a basset hound who was sitting in front of the TV, when a tawny owl flew in and landed right next to him. The dog didn't mind. So, for five years (and counting), the two animals met together on the couch, and snuggled. If you liked that story, almost every story is as cute as this, and I highly recommend you read this book.
