Comparing Jane And Mud
All in all, in both stories, the men were the casualty; Clay was the casualty as a result of his skin shading, and John was the casualty since he was a dazzling and faithful man. Mud managed racial issues in light of the fact that before, the white people and the legislature were against the black people. Jane was a wiped out lady who had been dealt with by her better half, yet she was an egotistical lady and fled. As I would like to think, both writers made an incredible showing with regards to by persuading the pursuit. Also, how the characters trying to freedom and how this effect their human personality on what happened in their

    Graham Greene’s “The Destructor’s”, and Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “The Rocking Horse Winner” (Both stories reprinted in Thomas R. Arp and Greg Johnson, Perrine’s Literature: Structure, Sound, and Sense, 9th ed. [Boston: Wadsworth] 111-124, 285-298) are two short stories set in post-war England. Despite the similarities of both stories set in post-war eras of Great Britain, the mood and physical settings are vastly different. In fact, the stories each give differing amounts of details and clues about the setting. For instance, “The Destructors” setting is easily discernable, but in contrast, “The Rocking Horse Winner” gives only vague clues regarding the time and setting. Regardless of the differences in the amount of details given, the setting in which both stories are told play a key role in the actions of the main characters. Both stories are similar in that they convey a message of how the circumstances of life affect human nature.…

    Often times, we endure problems within ourselves that can either be solved or left alone to embrace. Whether it is mental or physical, many of us find it natural to undergo inner-conflict. In the two passages, “The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man” and “Quicksand,” the authors provide the audience with a theme that connects them both. After uncovering their internal conflict, they eventually decided to unknowingly distract themselves from the issue. This includes the way the authors utilized the setting and characters to convey their theme. When dealing with inner-conflict, the theme is developed by expressing personal past issues, discovering new people, and ultimately uncovering a sudden romance.…

    Wise Blood Vs Maus

    In the comparison of two novels, Wise Blood by Flannery O’ Connor and Maus I & II by Art Spiegelman, it is first important to understand the objective differences between the two. The former is a fictional telling of Hazel Motes’ world – where he is at a constant struggle to understand his own faith along with the battle against an industrialized version of religion. The latter, on the other hand, is a true account of one man’s battle through the Holocaust in the form of a direct conversation with his son, the writer. It almost seems criminal to compare the two, but when delving in deeper it doesn’t seem too out of the ordinary to imagine the similarities that could be found not between the two main characters (with the assumption of Art Spiegelman,…

    The two essays seem to imply that there is always something to salvage from the remains of a disaster, and that a disaster made from your own desires carries much more worth than that of a forced and uncomfortable, rule abiding piece. I greatly enjoyed the suggestions for carrying yourself out of those situations. From simply writing what you felt like at the time to using mental imagery to bottle those pesky voices trying to pry their own wants out of you. Lamott carries out the belief of following your own writing, and tossing all the fret out the window.…

    The most prominent and significant similarity of both novels is the idea of racism. Entwined throughout the books, the theme of racism is the backbone, which reflects the hardships African Americans experienced throughout the 1960’s. In the novel, Coming of Age in Mississippi, the main character, Anne, and her family, are African Americans. Along with the other "black" plantation workers, her and her family live in shacks without electricity or indoor plumbing. On the contrary, the "white" family's houses have electricity and indoor plumbing. This is overbearing discrimination as the black families work unbelievably hard on the plantation just to live unsanitary while the white families live comfortably through them. In the novel The Help, the main character, Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan, asks different black maids, referred to as the “help”, domestic questions. She discovers her friend’s attitudes about the "help” and her friend, Hilly Holbrook, made something for her home called a "Home Help Sanitation Initiative". This initiative is for separate bathrooms for black maids because they carry different diseases. Hilly's thoughts reflect extremely racial judgments. Treating the African Americans as though they are not people, she often depicts them as dogs or wild animals that are bringing diseases and infections into her house. Both novels involve the public having an opinion that African…
