What kind of stories have you read? Have you read of any that in a way have similarities and differences with one another? The two short stories in this essay are "the cask of amontillado" and "the killings". These short stories are ironically the same but with different perspectives. Both authors have a different meaning for why they wrote the stories. One of the similarities are that both stories have to do with killing someone. In "the cask of amontillado the narrator kills due to madness an the narrator in "the killings kills to avenge his sons death. Another difference is that after Montessor kills his "friend", he feels no remorse or guilt and Matt fowler from "the killings" feels empty and remorse after the killing.
Upon first look, these stories might appear to have opposite plots because the heron is free and is at danger from being killed, and the bird in the cage is lacking that freedom yet, if offered it, would be killed by means of nature. However, I like to think of it as oppositely equal because they could both lose their lives if the thing that they want (or do not want) is given to them such as the discovery of the heron by the hunter or the freedom of the outdoors. Aside from that comparison, I think that an important similarity between the two stories is the style of writing that Sarah Orne
Both the stories had same type of narration which was a first person view.“I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthy- how calmly, I can tell you the whole story” (
When an individual has to do a compare and contrast for a short story in the realm of literature, I believe that you have to take into account the deeper meaning in a short story. You have to read between the lines, one has to know what the symbols and what metaphors are. “A symbol is something that has a literal identity, but also stands for something else—something abstract—like an idea, a belief, or an emotion. A metaphor is a figure of speech in which an implied comparison is made between one object and another that is different from it.” (Clugston, 2014) The reader needs to know that the author is using figurative language in the short story. Once the individual can understand this, the literature work will be significantly easier to do a compare and contrast essay.
This essay showed the similarity and difference of the endings in these two masterpieces, and how they shared morals.
Usually, a short story may contain profound thoughts. Writers always convey their ideas or opinions by offering several arguments in their productions.

Essay 4: Comparative Analysis of Two Texts When comparing two texts, one must look at the characters and themes to find similarities and differences and we see a similarity with the theme of accepting reality in The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet and The Great Gatsby. There are differences in both texts with the way the characters fight reality, but the outcome is the same. The power of love in both texts is looked at as more important than social priorities and the main characters will do anything to get what they want and it results in death. One might come to conclusions to say that F. Scott Fitzgerald based the relationship of Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan on Romeo and Juliet, seeing that both stories have characters who do not accept the reality and in their minds, love overpowers everything. When looking at these two texts side to side, one would notice many similarities in the actions of the main characters.
While both characters were isolated from the public and put on “the scaffold...for public shame” their courage is what prevailed, ultimately making themselves prevail as well (Hawthorne, 130). Their beauty also prevails, although it was tested. While neither character is considered beautiful by typical standards, their tragic beauty remains intact through trial,
After reading A Secret Sorrow by Karen Van Der Zee and “A Sorrowful Woman” by Gail Godwin one can tell they are not only different but alike in many ways. The names of these two pieces of work are not only similar however, the tone/mood, characters, and theme also have similarities and differences. While these two works of literature are exceptionally good in their own way, the difference between Gail Godwin's work compared to Karen Van Der Zee makes it a better piece of literature.
The two characters that will be compared in this essay are Rachel from “Eleven” by Sandra Cisneros and VIctor from “Indian Education” by Sherman Alexie.

The two points of comparison are going to be the difference between how they deal with the conflicts they face and their attitudes towards the conflict that arises.

The struggles both characters face demonstrate character development and contribute to the themes of the stories. Both short stories prove to be literally effective in that they disclose the main themes at the outset of each story. Although the themes may alter over the course of the stories, they are clearly defined in their respective introductions.

The Chimney Sweeper, a poem written by William Blake in 1789, talks about the ways in which childhood innocence is taken away, ruined, or destroyed by mean old adults.
