So he doesn't know if he she call her or not.On page 28 in “Dear Future” it says ,”after i dialed the numbers the seventh question popped into my head, what should I do when she picks up?”(montero). James also has other questions like”how will I get it back to her?”(montero).This evidence is significant because this proves that he is nervous because he doesn't know what to do when she answers. James also has the question of getting it back to her so he is thinking of all these questions and is nervous. Similarly in “People Call Me Crazy”.In “People Call Me Crazy” Thater Is a kid who gets lost in the woods with his friend Richie and does not know where to go. So they find a log that they resigned and Richie Went first and he fell into a current. And Tharthar is nervous because he doesn't know
There are two books I will be comparing, Fever 1793 and The Girl Who Owned a City. The main characters are Matty, a girl in 1973, and Lisa, a futuristic character.They are alike in many ways. They are also quite different. They are both about the same age, though Lisa might be a little younger.
Both novels share the themes of isolation, loss of identity, and misuse of knowledge and science. Many people in today’s society can relate to the feeling of isolation or loss of identity, especially young teenagers expanding their lives in high school. Some may be bullied, abused or ignored, and feel completely alone. As science evolves, we also see many different examples of others misusing its true propose, such as for money or for power. Novels such as these demonstrate the threats that one could face if they followed through with such dangerous activities. These stories are great learning tools for humanity as it
This shows that people can go about changing things in different ways and end up with similar results. In conclusion, Montag and John have exponentially more similarities than the small differences. This is because John and Montag both are in search of knowledge and have to leave society in order to find this knowledge, those reasons far outweigh the fact that Montag receives help and John doesn't receive help. The authors, Ray Bradbury and Stephen Benet, created these stories to send a deeper message to people through Montag and John.
The events of Chinua Achebe’s novel Things Fall Apart and the film Sugar Cane Alley detail the lives of a fictionalized Nigerian village and sugar cane harvesters in remote Martinique, respectively, during similar time periods of the 1900s. Both works contain explicit references to Christianity, and how the imposition of religion and white culture have negatively affected the African characters. European religious practice was used as a means of pacifying as well as terrifying the Umuofian people and the inhabitants of Sugar Cane Valley.
The novels Call of the Wild by Jack London and Brian’s Winter by Gary Paulsen both reveal aspects of character, personality through the thoughts and actions of the character. The authors, both create the main character’s personality by showing the reader how the character adapts to the surroundings, about the levels of intelligence of the character's in their settings, and the aggressive instincts of the character's. These aspects provide the reader with a complete understanding of the development of the character.
Ayn Rand and James Dashner each wrote a dystopian novel that was back set in the future. Ayn wrote a book called Anthem and James wrote a book called the Maze Runner. Both of these books have a lot of comparison and a lot of differences. These books have a little different writing style and Anthem is most definitely a harder read. The first American publication of Anthem was in 1946. The first publication of the Maze Runner was in 2006. The novels Anthem and Maze Runner, dystopian novels, are popular among teens because of the high expectations put among them and the oppression.

Fedrick Douglas tries to run away from his darkness and finds out the real truth and become aware of the real world. In both stories, they both have people or prisoners who are trapped from there bondage and there ignorance. They try to seek enlightenment and seek the truth about the real world.

The Pedestrian and Harrison Bergeron are both set in the future. It is supposed to tell us what is going to happen in the future and how it will be if the government gets too much power. In these stories the society and characters are being controlled. Vonnegut shows them being controlled by government while Bradbury shows them being controlled by TV. This control that is shown in the stories affects the characters and the theme.
When discussing this, Herzler says, “The discomfiting thing about nature is that though we can address it, our messages can only come back stamped ‘return to sender’” (251). No matter how much the men in the boat try to make sense of what is happening to them, they cannot find the being or force behind it. Fortunately for the men in the boat, they find another way to cope with the traumatic and difficult situation that they are in, which is by developing a strong bond of friendship.
First off, we have some similarities of the two genres. Over all the stories are very similar, the basic story line does not differ between the two stories. Another similarity is, in both stories the monsters in the end were truly themselves, they all turn against one another for one reason; illogical thoughts. The setting stays the same between the two genres along with many details. Also, most of the characters’ personalities and dialogue are the same, although sometimes this varies. Another similarity is that all the characters have the same reasoning for being thought of as monsters, such as, Ned Rosen/Mr. Goodman was accused of being a monster because he stargazes in the wee hours of the morning, and that was found very suspicious. There aren’t many drastic similarities in the two genres, however, there are many differences.
Sometimes we’d have that whole river all to ourselves for the longest time. Yonder was the banks and the islands, across the water; and maybe a spark- which was a candle in a cabin window- and sometimes on the water you could see a spark or two- on a raft or a scow, you know; and maybe hear a fiddle or a song coming over from one of them crafts.

People spend their lives not discovering who they are, but making who they will be. Their relationships and interactions with other people define them and contribute to their personality. The accumulation of every meeting and conversation an individual has leads up to who they have become. This happens in stories as well, interactions between characters show the reader who that character is as a person. This type of characterization can be used by the writer not only to create a personality, but to bring out a theme as well. The stories A Streetcar Named Desire, The Metamorphosis and “Everyday Use” all have distinct personalities that have very strong relationships with other characters; these relationships are able to bring out the themes from their
The first thing to see, looking away over the water, was a kind of dull line - that was the woods on t'other side; you couldn't make nothing else out; then a pale place in the sky; then more paleness spreading around; then the river softened up away off, and warn't black any more, but gray; you could see little dark spots drifting along ever so far away-trading-scows, and such things; and long black streaks-rafts ... and by and by you could see a streak on the water which you know by the look of the streak that there's a snag there in a swift current which breaks on it and makes that streak look that way; and you see the mist curl up off of the water, and the east reddens up.
My sweat soaked shirt was clinging to my throbbing sunburn, and the salty droplets scalded my tender skin. “I need this water,” I reminded myself when my head started to fill with terrifying thoughts of me passing out on this ledge. I had never been so relieved to see this glistening, blissful water. As inviting as the water looked, the heat wasn't the only thing making my head spin anymore. Not only was the drop a horrifying thought, but I could see the rocks through the surface of the water and couldn't push aside the repeating notion of my body bouncing off them when I hit the bottom. I needed to make the decision to jump, and fast. Standing at the top of the cliff, it was as if I could reach out and poke the searing sun. Sweat dripped from my forehead, down my nose, and on its way to my dry, cracked lips which I licked to find a salty droplet. My shirt, soaked with perspiration, was now on the ground as I debated my
