Similarities Between 'Leo And The Day The Crayons Quit'
The two books that I choose to write about the role of friend ship are the “Leo: A Ghost Story” and “The Day the Crayons Quit”. In my personal opinion this two books are age appropriate for children. They are simple to read and the pictures of the stories are great. The stories of friendship of these two books are very good. I really enjoyed reading them.
The story of friendship in “Leo: A Ghost story” started by him leaving at an old house. New people moved to the house and he wanted to be nice to them and the stated to make tea. But the people instead of feeling welcomed felt scared and did not like “Leo”. It was sad because “Leo” was trying to be nice to them. But I could see how the people got scared they could not see him and thought

    In life positivity is the key to any solid affiliation. The bond between two individuals rather if it’s positive or negative always mirrors the outcome of their relationship status. Although lack of enthusiasm is part of life, being inconsiderate and arrogant towards others is unacceptable. In the stories “The Last Game” written by Jan Wiener and “Reunion” by John Cheever is basically talking about the bonds between fathers and sons and their relation. The first reason of contrast is that in “The Last Game”, Jan Wiener returns to Czechoslovakia after his father‘s death to reminisce the lost memories of him after Hitler’s Europe. His action illustrates a respectful attitude that he has towards his father because they had a caring and humble relationship for each other is contrasted with “Reunion” where Charlie and his father lacked communication because the father’s behavior was obnoxious and insulting to Charlie and the waiters attending his needs. My secondary reason of contrast is that Charlie’s father in “Reunion” showed an unlikely personality that made Charlie view him as arrogant, boorish, self-center and bad-mannered individual that he was. Unlike in the “Last Game” in which Jan's father had a respectful personality in which Jan viewed his father has benevolent and an honorable man. My third reason refers to the contrast in the "Last Game" in which Jan Weiner's father sacrificed in a selfless, caring and brave way to save Jan's life which is in contrast with "Reunion" in which Charlie's father never sacrificed anything for Charlie because he was a…

    Not of their making. When I read Charlotte Gilman's The Yellow Wallpaper and William Faulkner's A Rose for Emily this is what I think. Though written by different authors and wrote in 100 years time difference, they still reflect the same injustice that was inflicted on women in the late 1800's. They contrast by how the stories are written and personalities of the women. But the stories compare by the women coming from social standing families and being pushed into insanity by the men who were suppose to be protecting them. Men, back in the late 1800's, treat women as children rather than adults. Crucial decisions were not made by women but by the men in their lives.…

    “We, as human beings, must be willing to accept people who are different from ourselves” once said Barbara Jordan, an important leader in the civil rights movement. The stories “Two Friends” and “Cranes” show how this quote applies in difficult scenarios. The story “Two Friends”, written by Guy de Maupassant, is focused around two friends from Paris who cross enemy lines during the French-Prussian War to go fishing, which results in both of their deaths. The story “Cranes”, written by Hwang Sunwon, is centered around a man named Songsam during the Korean War who struggles with deciding to let his childhood friend, Tokchae, go free after being captured.
