    A Clockwork Orange Comparison Essay

    Angela’s Ashes by Frank McCourt and A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess are two books with a similar environment. The books environments are influenced by a lack of humanity, lack of civility, and human spirit. Salman Rushdie quotes, “Literature is where I go to explore the highest and lowest places in human society and the human spirit.” Salman Rushdie’s quote and the books that have been mentioned above share the idea that we can explore and learn from these fictional or nonfictional situational environments. Both of these books teach and portray the cruel parts of human society and also relates to the quote from Salman Rushdie.…

    Young men who are sent to a war learn the reality in a very harsh and brutal way. Both the stories, ‘The Red Convertible’ and ‘The Things They Carried’ portray the life of a young soldier and how he psychologically gets affected from all the things he had seen in the war. Tim O’Brien’s ‘The Things They Carried,’ is more specific on the experiences of a soldier during a war where as Karen Louise Erdrich focuses more on describing the post war traumatic stress in her short story ‘The Red Convertible’. One thing similar in both the narrations is the Vietnam War and its consequences on the soldiers. From the background of both the authors it’s easy to conclude that Tim O’Brien being a war veteran emphasizes more on the war scenes where as Louise Erdrich focuses mainly on the life inside the reservations, which makes sense as she has a Native American ancestry.…

    All interesting authors expose their readers to experience the essence of the story. In this case, Toni Cade Bambara uses the illustration of her short story “The Lesson”, in order to convey the reality of a 1960’s ghetto, African American community through the eyes of a young girl named Sylvia. Sylvia is a young, fearless girl who has an audacious and outspoken nature despite her constant use of profanity and insulting judgments of Miss Moore. Moreover, Toni Bambara’s technique of literacy in this piece is written in a way that transport the readers to another cultural setting that is condemned by a helpless cycle of economic poverty, which Miss Moore attempts to prevent for the future generation. In addition, Toni Cade Bambara uses her colorful style of tone to express the realism and individualistic characteristic of the urban black community of the 1960s through the use of AAVE, which stands for “African American Vernacular English.” Through this unique style of writing, Toni Bambara’s goal is to challenge or even question society of its unfair economy.…

    The most interesting short stories that caught my undivided attention were: “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and “Jealous Husband Returns in Form of Parrot” by Robert Olen Butler. These stories were both fascinating and intriguing in the sense that they made me feel like if I was the actual character. You could feel the pain and anguish the characters felt, even the desperation. It got to a point that I felt pity for the protagonist whom in both stories where narrating. Here we can see how someone can feel so desperate that they think the only way out is by taking their lives. Both Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Robert Olen Butler created an incredible form of fiction that makes you question if the scenes in the stories can truly happen in reality.…

    After reading a book and then watching the movie based on that book, generally people will say they feel disappointed because the movie lacks its heart and substance. Even though the movie The Scarlet Letter, directed by Roland Joffé, is based on Nathaniel Hawthorne’s novel, it offers different characters and plot than the novel. However, the book captivates people more. In both, the story takes place in Boston, Massachusetts, in seventeenth century. The Scarlet Letter is about Hester Prynne, a beautiful, young married woman from England who commits adultery with the respected minister Arthur Dimmesdale. When Hester’s husband, Roger Chillingworth comes to Boston after two years’ absence, he finds his wife has been unfaithful to him, and now has a baby, named Pearl. Furious about the betrayal, Chillingworth plots his revenge. The Puritan society is angry at Hester, and pressures her to confess her lover’s name, but she refuses. To punish her, they constrain her to wear the scarlet letter A. In the movie, Demi Moore stars as the pretty woman who commits adultery, Hester Prynne. Gary Oldman plays the admirable Minister Dimmesdale, and Roger Chillingworth is played by Robert Duvall. The Scarlet Letter of Nathaniel Hawthorne is an amazing novel but Roland Joffé’s movie does not catch the essence of the novel, and the changes in characters and plot alter the message of the novel.…

    When you love somebody you experience a full range of feelings such as tenderness and anger, calmness and annoyance, jealousy or despair. All these feeling running through your body that you have difficulties controlling them. Everything was great just the other day, and them in moments it all turns a mess. The churning feeling in your stomach makes you want to vomit, but you hold it in as you just want to scream for help. You adrenaline is rushing faster and faster and you just want to end the relationship right there, but with just a pause you remember how happy you are because of your love. Although riding a roller coaster is nothing like falling in love with somebody, these two separately different things alone can become similar if you break it down into a metaphorical way. With starts and stops at every bump and hump, and the tickling feeling in your nerves makes the ride even better. Both can cause you to feel risk and fear which casues your heart to beat even faster.…

    “Two Kinds by Amy Tan and “Everything that Rises must converge” by Flannery O’Connor had a lot of comparison and contrast. Between the two short stories they both set logic examples of how life can really be amongst families today. Amy Tan story “Two Kinds” reminds a young reader how parents will do anything for their children to become famous. Where a mother always believed that you could be anything you wanted to be in America. Of course the child doesn’t agree with her mother. Children think parents just don’t understand when it’s really them who don’t understand. Flannery O’Connor story “Everything that rises must converge” showed how people in general think they are better than everyone else when in all reality they are the weakest one. Nobody is better than anyone, everyone is equal, but it takes others to go thru things to realize the message O’Connor is trying to give. Both these short stories express theme, symbol and many different main characters.…

    Many people would say that living on campus is the “full college experience”; however, many commuters have said that they think that they are living college to the fullest as well. Each college student has their own opinions on which type of style they prefer. Both types of college experiences compare and differ in multiple ways. Commuting, and living on campus can be similar yet so different at the same time, and truly depends on what type of person you are and what fits your life.…

    Education has always been the main key of our lives since the beginning of time. The main thing is not everyone is given the same opportunity; the reason being everyone learns differently. Learning begins at childhood of course; from the parents, parent like figures or a school teacher. Fredrick Douglass and Richard Rodriguez are two great examples of whose process of learning impacted their lives from childhood to adulthood. Between these two great men are some similarities even though they had ambition to learn they grew up in different times and was different minorities.…
