Little women and Far away are two great movies with many similarities and differences. Little women is more a romance and family type a movie while Far and away is an adventure romantic drama movie. These two movies both are about growing up and living in the real world. Little women and Far away have a lot of similarities. Both movies are about love, romance, and drama. In Far and away one of the characters named Joseph is a hard working man but in the movie, the government burns down his house so he goes after the man in charge and ends up being locked in a room after he tried to kill the man in charge. That's when he meets Shannon for the first time really.Shannon is the man on charges daughter.He met her while she was getting her
stuff to run away and she told him there was land for free land where she was going and asked if he wanted to come be her kinda be here server. In the morning he was supposed to be killed but Shannon ran by and pretty much saved him and then they went on the adventure and then they fell in love later in the movie and got married. In little women, Meg meets John Brooke and after a while of talking they got married and had children. Then, Jo, another sister gets engaged. In the movie little women, all the girls marry away. The movies also do have an adventure. In little women Jo a daughter goes away on her own to new york and that's how she meets her husband. In far and away they run away together so it's more of an adventure but still in each movie characters go out of there current zone and travel. In each movie, a part of the family dies. In little women, Meg passes away and then in far and away, the father passes. The movies also don't have things in common. In far and away when Shannon and Joseph runaway they have nothing so they have to start from scratch. In little women, all the girls do get married or engaged but their husbands all have homes from them to live in. Their lives are pretty much set. The parents in the movies were all different. In far and away Joseph father was a hardworking man and took care of his kids but passed away in the begging so then it really was just Jhope and his brothers.Shannon's parents were rich, snobby and all they cared about was their expensive house and Shannon marrying away to a rich man. In the movie little women, the girl's father was at war and their mother took care of them. Their mother took care of all of them and didn't care who they married as long they were happy. Therefore each parent was all different. Each movie was pretty much well liked but they each got different rates Little women was rated 83% and Far and Away got a rate of 82%. The critic said that ages 8-9 year could watch little women and it gives you a positive message. With the movie Far and Away they said ages 13-15-year-olds could watch the movie but that's the youngest and there positive messages. Overall Far and Away didn't have positive messages but did have a good story. Little women had positive messages but didn't have that good of a storyline. The movies did have things in common and something not in common but is still good movies to watch.
Some similarities are obviously that they are both slaves who are trying to escape their misery. The characters also have a good relationship with their fathers because they taught them how to care for themselves and what to do when they need
In both of these stories there are certain characteristics of females that are the same, they are inner strength, obedience, honor and respect, the good of the family is better than the good of the individual.
According to the Internet Movie Database's exhaustive records, Louisa May Alcott's novel "Little Women" has seen itself recreated in four TV series, four made for TV movies and five feature length movies since 1918. The most recent version appeared in 1994 and features Winona Ryder, Claire Danes, Kirsten Dunst, Samantha Mathis, Eric Stoltz, Susan Sarandon, and Gabriel Byrne. As a long time fan of the novel, who has happily carted her large leather bound gold-gilded unabridged edition whenever she has moved, I find that I was disappointed in this newest movie version. As a movie lover, however, I found the movie to be an enjoyable experience.
These two movies deal with many similar themes, even though the plots differ some. The difference in religions and culture make the movies more realistic and home-based. The main theme of searching for a real love is what makes the movies so romantic, even though they are both classified as romantic comedies. Whether these two movies make one laugh of cry they are two very similar movies. If one of these movies seems to grab one’s attention, more than likely the other will too. So, if it is crying or laughing one can not go wrong with these two movies; they both give a little bit of laughter and they can both cause a few tears.
...tail. Also, many camera angles that exploit the atmosphere of sexuality make these films very similar in the eyes of a regular viewer. Both movies allow the viewer to experience how life is much tougher under social pressures from the point of view of many characters. Not only do these movies focus on small details in various scenes, they show the complexity of making movies while incorporating a unique story line and keeping the viewer involved with each and every characters problems.
Although the two stories have different plots and setting that are unalike, there are some similarities. The connections the two stories have are that the two women lost a shoe and they married into royalty. Some other correspondences were that they both had special
One similarity is that in both movies, Cinderella and Danielle are servants to their stepmother and stepsisters. They are also not allowed to eat with them, only serve them. In "Ever After';, Danielle's only friends are the other servants of the house, this is similar to how Cinderella is friends with the mice that live in her house. In both cases their friends are always protective and willing to help.
The wife being the main character is one similarity, although the husband is also a main character. A big difference
“They were very happy, even after they discovered that they couldn't live on love alone” (pg. 213). This quote was from the Little Women, the narrator was speaking about Meg and John and about how even if things are not perfect, you should still think and act positively. It is hard to find a book that appeals to the youth and teachers, since styles constantly changing. Adolescence enjoy stories about kind companions, nice families, and appealing objects; teachers like reading about faithful morals, good responsibly, and life lesson. Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott (takes place in: 1860; total number of pages: 472) , is better than A Little Princess, by Frances Hodgson Burnett (takes place in: 1888; total number of pages: 294), because it
People in the novels Brave New World, A Tale of Two Cities, and the play A Doll House show similar interests about becoming individuals and wanting freedom from a dominate figure in their life, and those characteristics seemed to be a repeating pattern among all three books. Respectively, each book has a sort of uprise from the oppressed demanding the authoritative husband, nation, and even society to provide that party a better life unlike the one they live presently. From A Tale of Two Cities the Marquis explains, “Repression is the only lasting philosophy, the dark deference of fear and slavery...will keep the dogs obedient to the whip” (A Tale of Two Cities p. 128) and this is what I challenge. If repression is the only lasting philosophy,
Little Women, a novel about four young teenagers growing up during the Civil War can be seen by a feminist perspective. Alcott used these characters as a parallel to her life. The four girls - Meg, Amy, Jo and Beth- each had their own purpose in the novel. Alcott depicted herself as Jo March. Jo, unlike all the other girls in her time did not care about societal norms. She did not try to fit in. She does not want to be a girl; she wants to be a man. Jo openly says how she wishes to be a man: “I like boy’s games and work and manners! I can’t get over my disappointment in not being a boy” (Louisa May Alcott 4). From the start of the novel, Alcott’s description of Jo recognizes masculine traits; she has round shoulders, big hands and feet, a flyaway look to her clothes (Alcott 6). These manly qualities are also noticed by her family. When Mr. March comes home from the war he refers his daughter as his “son Jo” (Alcott 348). Amy, the classic Victorian girl who follows society’s norms, is disgusted by Jo’s boyish manners. We can see that Jo’s male desires are caused by the society she finds herself in. When Jo cuts her hair short it removes her femininity by masculinising her appearance while also becoming the source of monetary support. Meg and Beth embody the traditional models of Victorian womanhood. Alcott was forced to incorporate these models of feminine virtue in her novel because her publisher wanted a novel with heroines to instill good behavior in the young female readers. Like Alcott, Jo could never become this type of woman for it would mean she would have to sacrifice too much of her individuality. Rejecting Laurie’s proposal signifies her beliefs that she cannot be married and work. She knew that if sh...
“Captured the nuances that still move me to laugh and cry” (Delamar xiii). Louisa May Alcott is such a wonderful woman who was known not only as a great writer, but also a fighter for justice and advocate of human rights. No matter how many difficulties Louisa faced in her life, she had succeeded in achieving her dream. She wrote one of the greatest books of her era, Little Women. She participated in anti-slavery activities, and was a non-official feminist. She worked hard for fans and neither for fame nor money. Louisa May Alcott is example for all of the people in the world.
Many authors try to capture the seriousness of being homeless. The similarities between Fly Away Home, and the poem "The First" are pronounced and deserve thorough investigation. This problem should not be ignored, as it is a serious problem though out the world. The authors are reminding us how important it is to help people in that situation.
The first way the women were similar but different was in their desires. Firstly, there was Daisy
The connotation of “little” changes with the context it is used in, because some characters in the book use it affectionately while others use it to diminish the young ladies. For example, at the beginning of the novel the March sisters’ father sends them a letter in which he calls them little women (Alcott, Little Women 15). The context in which little women is used by the father is an affectionate adjective to
