Thrones
For my final essay, I would like to compose a compare/contrast essay between George R. R. Martin’s book Game Of Thrones and the adaptation that is currently being shown on HBO. I would focus exclusively on the first season of the show, as it closely follows the events of the first book in the series. I would expand upon not only the omissions made in the television series, but also explore any creative licenses that the producers took. I would then discuss how these changes affected the story, or if they have any significant impact upon the viewer. I would also like to devote a solid paragraph or two on analyzing how well the show was able to bring to life memorable scenes from the book and how visually seeing a scene compliments reading it and can even give more depth to a character or event. If length becomes an issue, I may also delve into how both formats of telling the Game Of Thrones story have garnered similar acclaim and compare their impact on the public, whether that be fans of fantasy novels or the demographic behind the television.

    Summary: A Game Of Thrones

    Henry David Thoreau, a philosopher from the nineteenth century, wrote about the contradictory relationship between citizens who behave morally and governments who rule immorally. In his speech, Civil Disobedience, he stated, “Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison” to convey that governments, rather than individuals, decide whether behavior is lawful or punishable (para. 22). This statement expresses that people should evaluate someone’s imprisonment in the context of their government’s rules without making the assumption that all prisoners are convicted based on universal and justified standards. In George RR Martin’s novel, A Game of Thrones, familial line, rather than a democratic…

    Wolff Vs Tobias Wolff

    • 208 Words

    By way of example, I would like to compare and contrast Tobias Wolff’s This Boy’s Life, and Geoffrey Wolff’s The Duke of Deception. With this in mind, I would like to explore the central conflict of family issues, specifically related to their father-son relationship. To put it differently, I would like to compare the upbringing between the two brothers. Geoffrey for example, lived with his father and essentially became the caretaker paying all the bills and going to school while his father ripped people off. Tobias Wolff on the other hand, lived with his mother while traveling to Utah to make their fortune by mining uranium. With regards to this, I also plan on contrasting how their experiences shaped their writing technique. Geoffrey tends…

    One change between the book and the movie is that Beowulf does not go home. In the film he stays in the land of the Danes. This is because king Hrothgar commits suicide and leaves all of his belongings including the queen to Beowulf. Also Grendel’s mother defeats all of Beowulf’s army in the night. When Beowulf sets out to go and defeat Grendel’s mother he is overwhelmed by her beauty. This is yet another difference in the book Grendel's mother was a hideous creature but in the movie she is beautiful. She leads to the demise of Beowulf.…
