The Twilight Zone episode was similar to the story since it mainly followed the story’s plot and setting, and there were no added or missing characters. But, they were different in plenty of ways, for instance, how they opened the button early in the episode, but in the original story, Norma opened it (or broke it, rather) at the ending of the story. Another large difference between the Twilight Zone episode and the story was the ending. In the story, Arthur dies after pushing the button, and Norma receives $50,000 from Arthur’s life insurance, while in the Twilight Zone, Arthur does not die, and he and his wife gain $200,000 in cash in a briefcase given by Mr. Steward. Another difference was the characters. In the story, it was not mentioned
There are many similarities and differences between the story “The Most Dangerous Game” and the episode of Gilligan's Island that we watched.

In “1984,” Orwell portrays Winston’s secret struggle to undermine the totalitarian rule of Big Brother and the Party in Oceania. The different government agencies, such as the Thought Police and Ministry of Love, exercise unrestricted totalitarian rule over people. Winston actively seeks to join the rebellion and acquire the freedoms undermined by the Party. On the other hand, Heinlein’s brief narrative, “The Long Watch,” depicts a contrasting struggle championed by Dahlquist against the power hungry Colonel Towers and the Patrol. In his struggle to prevent the total domination of the world by the Patrol, Dahlquist chooses to sacrifice his life. Le Guin’s “The Ones who walk away from Omelas,” illustrates a communal form of injustice tolerated for the benefit of the entire city but necessitating the inhumane imprisonment of a child. He portrays the ambiguity of human morality and the individual struggle to determine right from wrong. The authors address social change and power in different ways, reflective of their individual perceptions. Hence, in each narrative, the author illustrates the individual’s role in effecting social change and the conditions under which such change becomes possible.

When we compare contrast the two stories "The Yellow Wallpaper" vs. "The Story of an Hour”. If we first look at the similarities that they have, they are both about women who are controlled by their husbands, and who desired freedom. But both women had different reasons for their freedom. It sounds as though both husbands had control over their lives and both women had an illness. But I don’t believe the husbands knew their wives were so miserable. So as we look at the lives of women back in the 19th century time they have the stereotypical trend of being a house wife, staying at home taking care of kids, the house, and aiding the husband in his work. Being in charge of the household makes women have many responsibilities to take care of but still women are often looked down upon and men who often thinks a women’s say is unimportant. The two short stories are about two women who have husbands that successful and the women who feel suffocated by their lack of ability to live their own lives or make their own decisions. The two stories present similar plots about two wives who have grown to feel imprisoned in their own marriages.
There are many similarities between Ralph from Lord of the Flies and John F. Kennedy. Firstly, Ralph and JFK both wanted change and care for others. Ralph was the leader of a stranded group of boys that were stuck on an island. On the other hand, JFK was the 35th president, the youngest president to be elected in US history. While Ralph remained alive in the book, JFK was assassinated on November 22, 1963. Ralph is similar to John F. Kennedy because they both wanted care for the people, wanted real punishments for people that broke the law, and liked to help others.
The film, Life is Beautiful, and the memoir, Night, were both composed to tell about events in the same time period. Although many aspects of these are the same, the memoir and film differ in a numerous amount of ways.
The section in the novel night that painted a dark and angry picture of human nature is when the Jews were fleeing Buna and hundreds of them were packed in a roofless cattle car. The Jews were only provided with a blanket that soon became soaked by the snowfall. They spent days in the bitter cold temperatures and all they ate was snow. For these reasons, many suffered and died. When they stopped in German towns, the people stared at that cattle cars filled with soulless bodies. “They would stop and look at [the Jews] without surprise.” It was a regular occasion for the German people to see suffering Jews and not feel pity. The dark and angry picture of human nature was when a German worker “took a piece of bread out of his bag and threw it
Some of the most fabled stories of our time come from individuals overcoming impossible odds and surviving horrific situations. This is prevalent throughout the Holocaust. People are fascinated with this event in history because the survivors had to overcome immense odds. One, of many, of the more famous story about the Holocaust is Night by Elie Wiesel. Through this medium, Wiesel still manages to capture the horrors of the camps, despite the reader already knowing the story. In addition to him having to overcome difficult odds in order to survive for himself, he also had to care for his weakening father. A similar situation occurs in A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah, however, Ishmael accepts the situation and is able to defend himself. While

Life and death are two opposing states of being. The man was originally incorporated the desire for reform activities, to overcome death. The proximity of death increases the value and the sweetness of life; it opens up unexplored depths, making sense of life more keen saturated. Facing the death, a person is differently look at life, unusually acute experiencing its value, clearly separating the fundamental fact of life on the chance it worldly forms. This sensation is usually morally cleansing sense connects life and dignity in an inseparable whole. The current paper will address the moral dilemma and commonalities between “The Twilight
‘After Midnight’ makes you feel as if you were living in Harlem during the 30s.
“Lack of interest, concern, or sympathy” This is the very definition of indifference. Elie Wiesel once stated, “The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.” Wiesel’s statement relates to numerous civil rights movements. Why do these movements continue to thrive? The quote by Elie Wiesel, “Indifference to evil is evil,” still holds merit in the twenty first century as examined in Night by Elie Wiesel, Swing Kids directed by Thomas Carter and in Thirteen Reasons Why directed by Bryan Yorkey, and written by Jay Asher.

In the Hitchhiker, originally a radio play, was made into an episode of The Twilight Zone. However, there was quite a few differences as well as some similarities. First off, a similarity I noticed was that they both had to stop for car issues and I think that the reason for this is because it leads to the next similarity. Another similarity is that they both asked others about hitchhikers in the area. They both probably had this detail because it was important that the hitchhiker was really sketchy and suspicious, this detail helps show those moods. Lastly, a detail I thought was important was the regular hitchhiker each of them had picked up. I think this because if they hadn’t tried to hit the hitchhiker and the people they picked up didn’t
