To say this novel is even remotely similar to anything being read in my high school classes would be an outright lie. The philosophical themes of existential dread, nihilism, absurdism and general apathy are unlike those found in any novel. Thus, it is fortunately unlike a great number of books and ripe for comparisons. “Fahrenheit 451” and “Huckleberry Finn” come to mind, as those books have plots centered around active rebellious tendencies and great adventures. In the book “Fahrenheit 451” the protagonist Guy Montag, when presented with great danger, makes an incredible escape in order to pursue his life and his curiosity. In stark contrast to Guy Montag’s exciting escape from his inanimate doom, the narrator (his name is Meursault, left out in some translations) accepts his death sentence as an implication of the inevitable. He does not know whether his is guilty or not of his crime, only that he has been sentenced to the guillotine and that an attempt to prolong his existence is
“Live people ignore the strange and unusual. I myself, am strange and unusual”, this is just one of many of the quotes from Tim Burton. He calls himself strange and unusual, and it shows: in the movies he has directed. In both Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Edward Scissorhands, Tim Burton uses characters with tragic beginnings and judgmental antagonists to convey that individuality is preferable to conformity.
Bud from the novel Bud, Not Buddy and Rudyard Kipling the author of the poem “If” both have similar rules to live by.
People have dreams and aspiration that they fight to achieve. In Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman and Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun the characters of Biff and Walter, Jr., are fighting to achieve there dreams by any means necessary. Their families support them in their endeavors to become a successful businessman. I believe that the characters of Biff and Walter, Jr., are both character who are struggling to achieve their dreams and provide a better life for their family.
Miller’s use of personification and symbolism in the book shows the situational irony that surrounds Willy. This highlights the overall message of blind faith towards the American Dream. The major case of irony in the book is Willy’s blind faith in the American Dream. This belief is that if one is well-liked, they will become successful. The truth is actually completely opposite. The real belief is that if one works hard, with no regard to how well liked they are, they will be successful. This relationship is shown between Willy and his neighbor Charley. While Willy believes likability is the only way to success, Charley works hard and does not care how people think of him. Through his hard work, Charley started his own business, and is now very successful. Willy, however, ends up getti...
The protagonists in “The Hobbit” and “Leaf by Niggle”, Bilbo and Niggle, have very similar traits, skills and characteristics, but yet are also different in numerous ways. Both characters being non-traditional heroes had to develop their heroic characteristics like kind-heartedness, determination and creativity, by facing and overcoming adversity and obstacles. Both characters had long journeys ahead of them selves before they could be called a hero. Not being born a hero meant that these two protagonists began there journeys as modest and timid people. But after completing there their quests, they became sacrificial and well respected heroes. As all heroes have adventures like our protagonists they must face great obstacles that may seem impossible to overcome, but with the character traits and qualities that they posses or acquire throughout their
These two films are not only similar on these surface levels, but also in their narrative structure and intent as well. Dorothy and Alice, both find themselves trapped in a world of their own fantasy, but with no context on how to navigate their way home. They are then lead by an array of strange characters who guide them on their journey. Dorothy meets the scarecrow, the tin man, the cowardly lion, and so on. While Alice crosses paths with the white rabbit, the cheshire cat, the mad hatter, and so on. With the assistance of their companions, both heroines maneuver their way through the challenges each fantasy presents. Perhaps the biggest similarity these films share narratively, is the underlying emphasis on empathy and perspective. Both
The short story “Flowers for Algernon” and movie “Charly” have many similarities and differences. For example, in the short story a mentally challenged man, known as Charlie writes progress reports to help him and Dr. Strauss keep track of his progress. On the other hand, the movie mainly focuses on his before and after the operation experiences. Also, Charlie has to face a variety of tests in the story, and one of the tests he faces is the inkblot test. Unlike the movie that makes Charlie struggle by making him race Algernon, and taking another test that helps him bring out his inner personality. Furthermore, in both the stories there is a mouse, Algernon, that has the same type of operation done on him exactly like Charlie. Sadly the mice

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory tells the story of an impoverished child, Charlie Bucket, who lives with his parents and four grandparents, and who is allowed to buy a candy bar once each year on his birthday. One day Charlie uses money found in the street to buy a candy bar and in doing so wins a trip to the candy bar’s manufacturer, the factory of Willy Wonka, an eccentric town figure who has not been seen in years.
In this commentary, I will analyse the text extract of the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory written by Roald Dahl and the translation process into the target language Italian by also taking in consideration any researches and the theories made by third parties.
Dahl’s “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” tap’s into young readers anxieties by opening their imagination to new thoughts of possible events that they might experience in the future. Dahl uses Charlie Bucket, the main character as the hero of the story, and arguably a role model for young readers, to portray the life of a poor child who is not blessed with all the things that he wants, because of his economical situation. In this critical paper, I will argue how Charlie Bucket’ character can be considered a role model/ hero for young readers. Discussing the following: the way in which he portrays the not “sunny side of things”(Bettelheim, 272) that taps into young readers anxieties, such as the fear of reaching a point of starvation in their life. Secondly, how he is not a selfish person, who worries about the consequences that others suffer because of their behavior, even though of the critical economical situation that his family is living. And finally, the way in which his good behavior resulted in a victorious end, where he was able to bring complete joy to his family, by taking them from extreme poverty to a place where they would never have to worry about starvation or money anymore.
Charlie and the Chocolate factory is a remake of the children’s classic Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, although the acting, setting, and story may seem silly at times, the movie actually have a logical message hidden beneath it all. The emotional connection, credibility, logic, purpose, and setting of the movie are extremely valid, and when you get past the childish cover up, it is really a serious movie.
