Compare And Contrast Birth Of A Galaxy And Silent Seven
There are many similarities between Birth of a galaxy and Silent Seven. In Birth of a galaxy, it uses geometric shapes. The planets/celestial bodies are created with the usage of geometric circles. In Silent Seven, it uses spheres to create the planets. Both art works illustrate space themed objects. They depict planets, stars, and or the earth. Each of them has similar colour properties. Birth of a galaxy uses a lot of blue and yellow to make the planets and empty space, and Silent Seven uses blue for the water and planets, and yellow for the sky. Finally, they use minification and magnification in the same way. The planets in both the art works are small in proportion to the general piece. The Earth-like planets are smaller than trees in

    Ray Bradbury’s “A Sound of Thunder” beautifully describes the future and had a lot better story plot than Gloria Skurzynsky’s “Nethergrave”, which lacked the edge-of-the-seat action that “A Sound of Thunder” contained. One reason I prefer “A Sound of Thunder” over “Nethergrave” is the concept of time travel. Another reason is that Ray Bradbury has great descriptions and adjectives of what he thought the future would be like. Also, the characterization in “Nethergrave” was not as good as “A Sound of Thunder”.…

    Two similar characters in both novels would be Mullah Faizullah and Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner. Both of these characters are similar in the sense that these characters act as a voice of reason and a source of guidance and comfort for the heroines of each novel. In A Thousand Splendid Suns, Mullah Faizullah, Mariam’s Koran teacher, provides guidance to Mariam in her times of doubt and trouble by references the Koran and the power of Allah, and comforts her after the suicide of her mother by trying to persuade her that it was not her fault, that Nana was “…a troubles and unhappy woman…” Even throughout Mariam’s life, she pictures Mullah Faizullah and remembers his saying from time to time. In Pride and Prejudice, Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner, Elizabeth’s…

    When writing literary works most, authors will agree that it is difficult to write a story without any inspiration. The writers will often have some motive, either from past experiences or something that can inspire an idea for a novel. Although the novel can be fictitious it can still change how society feels about a certain issue. The two novels All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque and Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut romanticizes what war is like, emphasizing ideas such as glory, horror, honor, patriotic duty, and adventure. The similarities include both authors have their impression that the absurdity of war is morally wrong, how soldiers act as toys in the sandbox being played with higher authorities. Both novels feature the society of young men to be controlled and sent to their demise with little hope. The differences between the two novels is that both novels feature a different approach on how the novel flows. Vonnegut moves the story in humorous manner whereas Remarque tells it in a serious manner.…

    "Carl Sagan would be pleased. It is his The Demon-Haunted World that opens with a story concerning a taxi driver: The driver, once realizing it is Carl Sagan, "that scientist guy," in his cab's backseat, proceeds to bombard Sagan with questions about truly scientific issues in the vein of "channeling," "Nostradamus, astrology, the shroud of Turin." And the driver presents each of these subjects "with a buoyant enthusiasm." Yet Sagan disappoints him. With a list of facts, Sagan tells the man why there is a 99% chance each of his pseudoscientific theses are not true or why sometimes there is just a much simpler explanation which Occam's Razor dictates we take. This respectful and modest logical deconstruction of absurd ideas is a compelling aspect of Sagan's writing style. Enter Jonathan Swift: Jonathan Swift's essay "A Modest Proposal" parallels Sagan's style in its logical, mathematical, and unpretentious tone. However instead of Sagan's deconstructing of absurd ideas, Swift constructs one. A second difference is purpose: Sagan's is science; Swift's, satire.…

    Apocalypse Now, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, is the story of Captain Willard's journey up the Nung River in Cambodia to kill a general, Kurtz, who has lost control of himself. It is set in the Vietnam War and is a very gritty and affecting film. Imagine my surprise when I learned that it was sort of based on Joseph Conrad's famous novella, Heart of Darkness. Conrad's book, the tale of the sailor Marlowe's African adventure, is a study on the evils of colonialism. The two stories at first glance do not seem very similar, but after examining both, it is quite shocking the degree of similarity between the two. Many people have been able to draw comparisons to Joseph Conrad's novel Heart of Darkness and Francis Ford Coppola's film Apocalypse Now, but the two are by no means identical; the difference is in the details. As Linda Costanzo Cahir states in her article, "Narratological Parallels in Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness and Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now," "To tell a story differently is to tell a different story," and I agree. Both deal with similar overall themes and messages, parallel characters, and some similar dialogue; yet each use different mediums and specifics to create their effects on the reader/viewer. In examination of the scene in which Marlowe/Willard and co. are attacked by the natives on their way up their respective rivers, the different ways each craft is manipulated to create similar effects is exposed.…

    Ernest Hemingway’s "Hills Like White Elephants," tells the story of an American man and a girl who is named Jig. They are both sitting outside of a train station in Spain looking across a valley while drinking beer. In “Hills Like White Elephants,” Hemingway discusses the landscape before them, the valley of the Ebro River, that has long white hills. As the American and the girl begin to have a conversation, the girl remarks on the Ebro River of the way it looks. After a while the American asked her if she wanted to do the operation (an abortion which was learned in the author's comment at the end) and explained to her that she would be fine. However, she began to think if she participates in the operation would the American lover still be with her. Nevertheless, the American knows that if the operation is not done he would not be able to do certain things; therefore, he is trying to eliminate the reasons to settle down with Jig. Towards the end of the story, Jig and the American would argue about the operation; even though the American does not want a child.…
