Walking Through A Wall Icarus Similarities
What are the similarities and differences between “Walking Through a Wall” and “I, Icarus”? These two pieces are very similar but they do have some differences too. Both of these pieces are unique, and beautiful in their own way.

These pieces are unique, but they do share some similarities. One similarity is that they are both written in first person, the characters are talking about themselves and their experiences. The most obvious similarity in my opinion is that they are both fantasy. They both talk about doing things that are inconceivable. They make you believe that the impossible is possible. The people in these stories might be thought of as magical or other-worldly because flying and walking through walls defy the laws of physics.

    To begin with, these resemblances mark the author’s writing style. Both these fictional stories contain foreshadowing. “The Lottery” gives an example of this when the narrator mentions the children stacking rocks in the beginning. This hinted that someone would be stoned. In “Charles,” Laurie is hesitant to provide information at first, and acts rudely to his parents. These show a relationship between him and Charles. Also, both tales contain a major plot twist. Everyone had…

    There are several similarities in these pieces. One of the main similarities is that both songs give the listener a haunting, sorrowful, distressed and sad feeling. Although one song is expressing the sorrow of a loved one’s death and the other is expressing the tragedy of one’s fate; they both put off a sad vibe. They both at one point or another reach a climax and then drop, which keeps the listener entertained and interested in the song. Tu se’ morta and Dido’s Lament are both accompanied by a basso continuo. Last but not least, the texture of both of these pieces is homophonic.…

    The third similarity is the theme of the stories. The theme in both stories is that some people will do anything to live the life they want to live. For example, Enoch saw that people were excited and anxious to shake Gonga’s hand so he wanted that same feeling. This caused him to steal the gorilla suit, and people still didn’t want to shake his hand and run off. The Misfit feels the same way. He carries a gun around and kills people because he knows that regardless of what he does now, he is going to go…
