    Film Versions Of 'The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street'

    In the two versions of “The Monsters are due on Maple Street,” share a common theme of characters being predictable. During both films the theme of being predictable arises when the characters accuse others of being someone they are not. When the neighbours start to become paranoid searching for a scapegoat and find the ‘alien’ that lives on their street, Les Goodman is the first to be accused when his car mysteriously turns on making the neighbours predict that he is the guilty and a potential alien. In the modern version of the film the same theme of prediction arises; however, in a different approach. When the neighbours are having a discussion about the new family that moved in across the street their mind overpowers them to think that…

    Prejudice In The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street

    Rod Serling’s message to the readers of “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street,” is prejudice, to not be too quick to judge people. The theme begins to appear in the story when Les Goodman’s car starts up by itself and everybody is in shock. Then everybody kind of starts blaming Les Goodman for the car starting up by itself after Tommy tells his crazy story about how aliens went to earth ahead of time to freak these people out then the aliens could land on earth. That’s when people start being prejudice and start falsely accusing Les Goodman of doing these acts without any actual proof. As Les Goodman says in the movie after the car randomly started up,” I just don't understand it.…

    Ethank You Ma Am Analysis

    The main characters of both stories are similar because they both take risks. The author doesn’t directly explain Rogers life, So the reader must infer it through his actions. For example, roger tries to steal Mrs. Bates purse about ¨11 at night¨, Roger goes for the risk of stealing her purse. A boy who comes from a responsible family doesn´t go around stealing peoples purses. Similarly, the Sniper is smoking a cigarette in the middle of war "Placing a cigarette between his lips, he struck a match, inhaled the smoke hurriedly and put out the light" (Flaherty). The man is making a bad decision. He doesn’t care that he is at war he still does…

    Lord Of The Flies Theme Analysis

    The most prevalent similarity is the force of psychotic evil. While staring at a pig head, Simon hallucinates, “Fancy thinking the beast was something you could hunt or kill” (Golding 143). In Golding’s novel, evil is always just a impalpable, looming atmosphere that could seep into each boy’s actions, but in the Coen Brother’s movie, a bounty hunter, Anton Chigurh, embodies that evil. For some reason, that evil is always a step ahead of its enemies, and knowing that fact, Sheriff Bell quits hunting that evil to save his own life. At one point, the evil, Chigurh, is unexpectedly hit hard for once: by a car running a red light. An unstoppable force is finally shown a weakness that everything shares: a lack of knowledge of all things unpredictable; but of course, evil picks itself up, sets its broke arm, and gets in its way. Where there is evil, however, there is that who opposes it. Chigurh flips a coin to decide the fate of Carla Jean Moss, “Call it”, he says, but Carla cracks back, “No, … the coin don’t have no say, it’s just you” (Coen 2007). Like Simon, Carla is one of the purest people in the story, being the furthest from crime. Having Carla and Chigurh together in the same scene creates the greatest dichotomy: good vs bad. Also like Simon, Carla immediately knows the evil and doesn’t want to play his game. This gives Anton Chigurh the most surprised look of the whole film. Unfortunately, the evil defeats the innocent, but the final scene of the film leaves some bitter-sweet hope for humanity. Sheriff Ed Tom Bell confides in his wife, after quitting the chase of the psychotic murderer, Anton Chigurh,by telling his dreams, “Goin' through this pass in the mountains. It was cold and there was snow on the ground and he rode past me and kept on goin … when he rode past…

    Buddy, Can You Spare a Dime

    The two songs mentioned above, are among the few songs that deal seriously with the morose side of the Great Depression[1]. In their similarities, the most obvious seems to be that they both talk about the misery of the disenfranchised[2] individuals: The ones that the nation forgot. Disenfranchisement of the common man was one of the strongest themes of the Great Depression, or at least the one that struck me the most. As the country spiraled down into economic recession, the fate of the common man, the working class, hung in the balance. The state was in shambles and Americans were teetering on the precipice of a monumental trial of will and resolve. The depression that followed affected…

    The Great Gatsby On The Road Analysis

    The Great Gatsby and On the Road are both similar. They have a lot of different things in common. The time period seems to be the same in both of them by how things are happening in the world, what is going on, and how people are treated. On the Road is about a couple of friends who constantly travel by hitchhiking most of the time. The Great Gatsby is about a rich man who was in love with a girl and he went to the war which caused them to drift apart. The two seem to be nothing alike, but On the Road and The Great Gatsby interpret the same message, they have similar characters, and the women are treated the same.…

    The Andy Griffith Show Analysis

    The Andy Griffith show was a situational family comedy created by Sheldon Leonard and Aaron Ruben that ran from 1960-1968. The show was quite popular and successful in its eight years of air time. Episode one of season one was written by Charles Stewart and Jack Elinson. The Andy Griffith Show portrayed many different themes in the very first episode. Some themes demonstrated focused on loss, acceptance, and non-traditional family, embracing the future, childhood honesty, loyalty, and fear of change. The main theme that really stuck out to me was the fear of change. In my eyes, it is what supported the purpose of the whole episode and immediately gave viewers something to relate to.…

    The Characters in The Giver and Pleasantville are both alike for many reasons. One example that they are alike is the main focus; they both are about their own version of perfect worlds. In The Giver, the society has no pain or fear everything in the society is controlled and planned out. “How could someone not fit in? The community was so meticulously ordered, the choices so carefully made.” In Pleasantville the town has no emotion other than happy and perfect. In gym class all the boys make perfect shots in the basketball hoop, nothing is out of place or goes wrong in this world.…

    Andy Griffith Show Analysis

    The Andy Griffith Show was a sitcom in 1960s and has influenced other family sitcoms alike. On the fifth season of the Andy Griffith show, Aunt Bee gets a mysterious letter from, “a boy I used to keep company with,” (1964), he comes to visit and Andy is annoyed by him. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the, “Aunt Bee’s Romance” episode on the Andy Griffith show, from a critical studies perspective. I argue that the Andy Griffith show’s episode, “Aunt Bee’s Romance”, Andy reaffirms his masculinity by pointing out the inadequacy of the elderly with Aunt Bee, Roger Hanover and Floyd Lawson. I also argue that this episode has Aunt Bee portraying the stereotypical feminine role, a caretaker, and it being confirmed by her relationship with…

    The cask of Amontilado

    First, this will summarize the similarities between the two. The similarities of these stories are that the victims are both chained to the wall and left to die by people that they made fun of. If I got made fun like that I don't know if I would go that far by killing the person but I would get revenge. Another example of a similarity is that they were both about getting revenge. I say this because they chained a guy up to the wall and left him there. Last the stories were both about two guys getting made fun of, then they went over their heads and killed them. I just think that was a little bit much don't you think?…
