In the two short stories “Initiation” and “On the Sidewalk, Bleeding”, the settings differ completely and are infact almost opposite, the characterization on the other hand is more similar. “OSB” is in a much more urban and dangerous setting, these two factors cause a not so good outcome for Andy. The author of “OSB also characterizes Andy as a diehard Royal, which is one of the reasons he dies and is written down as a Royal not as Andy. On the other hand, “Initiation” is set in a rural area with a happier mood. Togethering creating a happier ending for Millicent “her own private initiation had just begun” Millicent learns from her experience and lives to use her knew found knowledge. Sylvia Plath makes her protagonist a teenage girl who wants to be looked at as a perfect girl. While the authors characterize their protagonists, Andy and Millicent similarly, the setting creates a completely different outcome.
The two books have multiple differences in their settings creating similar but also different outcomes. The first noticeable difference was the environment. Andy is placed in an urban and gloomy

enviroment “The boy lay bleeding in the rain.” Initiation is set in a sunny nice town and rarely is there a sad part in the story. Another difference was how people influenced the two characters. Andy’s first encounter wasn’t exactly what he was looking for “ Did you fall down, buddy?” he asked. You mus’ be as drunk as I am.” when you’re about to die and the one person to save you is drunk that’s not the best scenario. Next, a boyfriend and girlfriend come by “the Guardians’ll be down on our necks, I don't want to get mixed up in this, Angela.” They leave him in fright of being hurt themselves. Millicent has much different encounters. “you’ll change, whether you think you will or not. Nothing ever stays the same.” Her friend Tracy is worried about her joining the sorority because she might lose a friend. The final difference is what happens to the two characters. Andy passes away due to the area he lives in and Millicent leaves her group and is happy with her decision. Not everything was different throughout the story, infact, most of the stories plot’s are very similar. Although there are many differences there were also a few similarities.
Both Andy and Millicent really want to be in or stay in their groups. Andy was dedicated to his group and wore his Royals jacket proudly. Millicent really wanted to get in a sorority and was doing whatever it took “I want you to up and down the bus asking people what they eat for breakfast.” Of course she did it, even though it may have embarrassed her. Although Millicent really wants to join the group, she soon realizes it isn’t right for her. When Andy’s dieing he realizes he doesn’t want to be remembered as a Royal but as a good person. “He wanted the jacket off his back” he did get out of the jacket but that wasn't enough. “A Royal huh?”... “His name is Andy” “A Royal, he said. Then he began writing.” Setting was not the only factor in the stories, characterization also affects the
plots. The authors in both books characterize their protagonists similarly in some ways but different in others. First is clothing, “Lansing would be seen dead wearing knee socks, no matter how cold it gets, and it’s kiddish and kind of green to carry a book bag.” Millicent dresses to fit in too her sorority. Andy on the other hand, “he wore a bright purple silk jacket, and the lettering across the jacket read THE ROYALS.” The two protagonists wear what they think will help them fit into their groups. Likewise, they always had the same types of thoughts running through their minds. “It won’t be any different with us, Tracy… We’ll still go around together like we always have.” Millicent denies Tracie’s thoughts of her changing because she is so sure that she wants to be in the sorority and it’s the right thing to do. Andy is sure he wants to stay in the group up until the end “and the name was delicately scripted in black thread on the front of the jacket, just over the hear. Andy.” Andy is so sure he wants to be in the Royals he wears his personal jacket everyday. Interactions are one thing that are not similar between the two characters. Millicent meets an old man who loves life “What did you eat for breakfast?... Heather birds’ eyebrows on toast” At first glance this sounds weird but later you learn that he is just having a great day. Millicent loves the man, and then she realizes that she doesn’t need the sorority to be happy. Andy has an opposite occurrence. “Let’s...what...what do you want to do, Freddie.” “I don’t know. I don’t want to get mixed up in this.” Two people see Andy but don’t help him because of the gang he’s in. Andy realizes the group does not help him and actually backfires. Millicent and Andy have interactions that make them want to leave their groups. In the end, with the differences between settings and characters in the two books, the outcomes were drastically different, however the kids both know they did the right thing. Although the cop wrote down “Royal” on his paper, Andy feels he did the right thing by taking off his jacket. Millicent is happy that she doesn’t have to act like someone else and even happier that she can keep her friendship with Tracy.
With both the movie and the book there were similarities and differences involving the names of the characters. Justice Wargrave was known as Author Cannon in the movie. Also, Vera Claythorne was Ann Clyde. Another difference is Philip Lombard was Charles Morman in the movie. However, there were some similar names, Mr. Blores’ name continued to stay the same as well as Dr. Armstrong.
In both books they share some traits, even though they may not look anything alike they are. both of these novels are dystopian novels and many characters share similarity’s.
The basic premise of the two plots is the same. Both stories deal with the capture of a young person who is to be groomed to live in a private, controlled environment to make them happy, but where they are never able to leave.
They both have a theme of racism and the author gave out what it was like for the black community in the past on having to go threw what they did everyday. In these novels, the characters and the society are alike however, unfortunately they have different endings.
The setting and plot in both of the stories And Then There Were None and The Most Dangerous Game are very similar to each other. The setting
Even though they are alike, there are some differences like, in the movie they were neighbors and in the book they lived across the street. Also in the movie they played basketball at school and in the book they didn't.
The differences are that all the endings of the stories are different like in sniper he killed his brother. In liberty, they moved to America but couldn’t bring their dog. In the dangerous game Rainsford got treated well at zaroffs. None of the endings are very happy either. Those are the differences.
The most Difference about the Novel and the movie is that they live on different sides in both , In the novel they tell east and west. These sides are divided between the Socs and greasers. they both live on the separated sides, but go to school together. but They are so different.
The biggest difference that popped out was the names on the movie and the names on the book were two different set of names. The movie the main woman character was Melanie Daniels, and then there was the lawyer Mitch, and his sister Cathy. With the book He was already married. His name was Nat, his wife’s name was not said, his oldest (daughter) name was Jill, and the littlest (son) name was Johnny . The movie and the book started in different ways, the movie started out with Melanie Daniels going into a bird shop. Mitch (the lawyer)
He really wondered why shumel was what was there the whole time that he never knew about.In the film I noticed a lot of changes based on how he found out he was moving because in the movie he found out because his parents told him that they were going away and were going to move and he had to get his stuff all packed.Then in the book he found out he was moving when he came home from school and maria the maid started packing and once he came and found that he asks his mom and mom tell and explains to him that they are going to be moving.The second difference I noticed in the film how mom had a drinking problem in the movie she does not drink at all very much and in the book she drinks a lot more.The last similarity I noticed in the movie was how mom in the movie said the man I married is a monster and even your does not love you. On the other hand in the book grandma in the book does love him but is discouraged on what he does based on his work in the movie as a Nazi because he was apart of that Jewish part where the Jewish had to be slaves to them because they thought the Jews were bad people. In conclusion I noticed a lot of similarities and differences based on what I read and saw you should read this book because it helps you get a better understanding on what happens back then and what the Jews were put through
The books both have very similar views and has the same content that makes it almost seem that is stolen ideas. Both books take place in the civil war with them both on the side of the union that fight because they believe that the war will make them men. Also the books target that the young men were troubled by the first battle and even loose a friend that
They are both futuristic stories, set after a war that never occured. The creation of the war gives the stories a feeling of what life would be like after a mass destruction. The house being run by machines is not something that is seen in today’s society. The closest thing to that would be the “Amazon Alexa” but that does nowhere near as much as the machines in this story. New York is one of the largest cities in the world. Imagining that city being destroyed is unimaginable, because of its size. Both stories have many fantasy elements, but they aren’t exactly noticeable. Most events are things that could possibly happen, but they have not. So, they’re considered
Historically, the time periods in which both novels took place in both compare and contrast each other. For example, The Grapes of Wrath took place in the time period known as the Dust Bowl. As if the Great
As mentioned before the two versions have their similarities and their differences. The biggest difference of all has got to be their different story lines. However, even though their plot is completely different they have a few similarities, such as, they both end with something or someone dying. Also the music and the musical interments played are the same. Other than this the two are pretty much the complete opposite.
Some of the differences I found were how the character was feeling. In the movie he had got used to the them coming to visit him. In the book he always had a different emotion that he felt or how the spirits welcomed him. Also the book had a lot more detail that the movie didn’t show. One more I had found was how the book had ended comparison to the movie. It was more dramatic. The movie had only told what he was doing next.
