In this compare and contrast essay you will read about the differences and similarities in Alice through the looking glass and Hidden Figures. You will read about the conflict in each movie. Also, you will learn about the settings in each of the movies. The final thing you will read about is the theme in each movies how they are the same and how they are different. Keep reading to find out how these two different movies can have thing in common. For example the conflicts of the book are very different, but the conflict has one thing that is in common for both the books. First, you will learn about the Conflicts in each of the movies. Let's start will Alice through the looking glass. One of the conflicts in Alice through the looking glass …show more content…
is man-v-character. It is man-v-character because the Mad Hatter gets very ill and needs his family to help him. Another conflict is man-v-fate for a few reasons. A reason I believe it is man-v-fate is because Alice's doesn't believe in The Mad Hatter. That is one reason why the Mad Hatter is getting very sick. Now a conflict in Hidden Figures is man-v-character. It is man-v-character because theses African American girls can't do anything at NASA (NASA is where they work) and no one is doing anything about it. Everything is separated by whites and colored like cups, and bathrooms. Another conflict is man-v-society. I think this because NASA is trying to send a man into space and have him orbit the earth. NASA is going up against Europe and that is how it is man-v-society. The conflict that is the same for both theses movies is man-v-character. As you can see in that paragraph Alice through the looking glass and Hidden Figures have one thing in common and that is man-v-character. The second thing you are going to learn about is the setting of the movies. We are going to start off with Alice through the looking glass. The setting in Alice through the looking glass is in Wonderland. Now the setting for Hidden Figures is at NASA. These are the things that are different now you will read about what they have in common. The thing that they have in common is both of the settings are in a wonderful place. The reason that they are both in wonderful place is one has magic in it. For example, Alice through the looking glass has magic being used like the chronosphere. Hidden Figures the setting is wonderful because people get sent up into space and do what they have dreamed of doing. For example, A hole truck full of men that are dreaming to go up into space come to NASA for training. As you read in that paragraph Alice through the looking glass an Hidden Figures both have at least one thing in common. The final similar and different thing I am going to talk about is the themes in each movie.
To start off with Alice through the looking glass and the theme for that movie. The theme in Alice through the looking glass is Don’t try and change the past. I know that one of the themes is that because Alice is trying to change what has already happened but she could not fix it. For example, when Alice is where she meets the Mad Hatter and the Mad Hatters dad get mad at him Alice tries to fix it. When Alice tried to fix it nothing happened and sometimes she made it worse than it already was. In Hidden Figures the theme is not judging a book by it’s cover. The reason I believe it is the theme Don’t judge a book by it’s cover because white people are judging the colored. The white people have not even met the colored people and they are judging them and thinking that they are not smart. The reason it goes along with don’t judge a book by its cover is because some people judge the book just by looking at it. To judge a book or in this case a person you have to get to know them. The similarity in both is they both focused on the future and not the past. All the characters focused on the future. If they focused on the past it would be sad, but they focused on the future and what was going to happen, not what already happened. In that paragraph you read how in a way the themes for both that movies were
similar. As you can see Alice through the looking glass and Hidden Figures have similarities and differences. For example, there conflicts were the same man-v-character. Also, there themes were somewhat the same. The last thing that they have in common is there settings. They are set both in wonderful or magical places. You read about these themes, conflicts,and settings.
Another similarity in the book and movie is that the characters have to go against their morals in order to decide what to do in certain situations. An example of this in the book is when Skip realises he would have to trespass and steal in order for him to keep himself and his friends alive. Or in...
In this paper I told you about how Alyss, Hatter and Genevieve proved the theme good will conquer all. I told you how Genevieve fought in the civil war against Redd for the good of others. I told you how Alyss fought Redd and defeated her. Then I told you how Hatter Madigan fought to keep Alyss alive because he knew she would go back and fight Redd. But the theme good will conquer all is important because if these three people wouldn’t have tried so hard good would have been defeated by evil so it was very important. That is my theme analysis essay for The Looking Glass
In Frank Beddors, “The Looking Glass Wars” a lot of things happen that are bad. There are lots of good things too.

In conclusion, details involving the characters and symbolic meanings to objects are the factors that make the novel better than the movie. Leaving out aspects of the novel limits the viewer’s appreciation for the story. One may favor the film over the novel or vice versa, but that person will not overlook the intense work that went into the making of both. The film and novel have their similarities and differences, but both effectively communicate their meaning to the public.
Throughout the story, Walker uses brilliant imagery in describing each detail of what the mother sees through the eyes of her world. This imagery in turn creates a more interesting and imaginative story, and allows the reader to experience what the narrator is experiencing. The theme of imagery is not within the story, but how the story is told. However, the theme of love of one's family heritage is within the heart and not on the wall.
The universal themes that are used in the story are racism and better the young.”And mothers and fathers, if it is too late for you, think of your children. Make it safe so they don't have to run away, for I want for you and your children what I had.”( Baker, 83) These themes are universal because both talk about things that has happened multiple times. Like better the young. We want the young to be the greatest generation and not make the mistakes we had made. The children of each generation need to be better than the last generations. The other theme racism. Racism was back then and it is now. The theme talks about the racism in the past and in the present and in the future. Racism will be the theme for lots of things in the present but also
If the setting, resolution, and plot had changed between the book and movie, the mood and tone would come off different. The book and movie “The Landlady” have 2 key differences and 1 important similarity that change a viewer’s mood. These make the movie and book dissimilar and alike.
There are usually differences in two different versions of something. This can often be seen when a book is made into a movie. There are many similarities and differences in the book and movie versions of To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee.
Another example is when Chance watches television. In the book, the narrator explains that when Chance changes the channel, he feels like he is changing himself. As he changes the channel, he gets caught up in all the different images he sees. In the movie, all you see is a man watching television, which doesn't explain too much. In the movie, the only time we find out what Chance thinks of television is when he is talking to someone else.
The similarities of the plot are that LeAlan and Lloyd (the names of the two reporters) received an award for doing their first report about how they live. Also, they are similar because the two boys that dropped the 5 year old out of the window were sentenced to jail until they turn 21. The plot in the movie and the book are also different because LeAlan and Lloyd were in a drive-by shooting in the movie but not in the book. Another difference is when David Isay (the man that was helping the two boys with the recordings) tried to transfer Lloyd to a new school because he was not doing well in the old one. The plot is just one thing that had similarities and differences.
Another important theme that this book stresses is how prejudice and ignorance is viewed by the innocent. For Scout, the thought of Boo Radley, the seemingly ignorant person who lived down the road, was changed throughout the story drastically.
The Wizard of Oz is a classic a universally loved film. It’s full of adventure, symbolism, and has a feel good story. It’s interesting though to see some parallels the Wizard of Oz had with other well-known classic fairytales. One example, is the famous story of Alice in Wonderland. A classic in its own right, and a staple in nearly everyone’s film repertoire. The similarities between these two stories are numerous. Starting with the main heroines themselves. Both Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland, have a young girl as their main character. Even the character’s appearances and lines are similar. Both sporting a blue dress, and describing their fantasies as curious. When Dorothy arrives in Oz she says, “What a curious place”.
Finally, there were a few differences and similarities noticed when Beowulf fights the Dragon in the film and the movie.
For example, when the owl-eyed man brags to Nick and Jordan that the books in the library are real “absolutely real- have pages and everything”(45). He did not just take one look at the books and label them as “... nice durable cardboard”(45), he actually went and took a closer look feeling the pages. He is a symbol of a person who does not just believe the rumors, or stereotype people at first impression. He symbolisms a person who is willing to take the extra step and actually know a person for who they are. He is the only one of Gatsby's party guests who goes to the funeral because he was the only one who actually took the time to realize Gatsby was a real person with real feelings and not judge him by the rumors. A person’s perspective is their reality. In which do not perceive and judge a person by their cover, but wait until their pages are made known. The owl-eyed man is a great symbol of the way all people should realize life is sacred and everyone is
In the story Alice in Wonderland, the world of Wonderland represents the main antagonist Alice’s fantasy that is fueled by her desire of staying in the past and remaining a child. Ultimately, she fears the changes that come with becoming an adult; thus, she resists reality and embraces the lies of her fantasy of staying a child by staying in Wonderland. Furthermore, this is similar to how the main antagonist in A Streetcar Named Desire, Blanche DuBois, resists reality by lying to herself and everyone she knows because she also fears reality. Unlike Blanche, Alice soon realizes that by embracing her fantasies and desires she would be led down a path of destruction because fantasy and reality are incompatible. Likewise, Tennessee Williams covers the topic of the incompatibility of fantasy and reality in A Streetcar Named Desire by making the character Blanche DuBois, which represents fantasy, resist and have a conflict with the character Stanley Kowalski, which represents reality, because he wants to convey that it is natural to fear and resist reality and take solace in desire and fantasy.
