In addition, the main characters are both very similar, from characteristics to actions. The two tales that were told both have main characters Ivy from The village and Equality from Anthem. The two of them have determination, because they both do what must be done no matter what they have to go through. Ivy, struggled with a disability of being bling, but she knew that there was more to her world than what was just there. So, Ivy does what no one in her village has done, and goes into the woods to try to find a cure for Lucious(Ivy’s significant other). This shows how determined Ivy is, that she would go above and beyond of her capabilities. In the tale Anthem, Equality the main character is also determined, because he also did what was
Obviously, the stories are more alike than different because their themes are
Both characters face very similar struggles, despite not being in the same world. The similarity between their living situations caused them to face
I find that both the stories have a sort of similarity in them in how the boys act and where they are coming from. Also the boys all are coming from prep schools and as they may be different schools in the different stories all the boys feel the same exact love and bond towards each other that has been built up from years in their living situations . And last one of the biggest similarities that ties the boys together are the formation of the clubs, like the super suicide society and the Dead Poets society, in
Another example of how they are similar is the way the authors have one main character who wants to make a difference in the laws. For example in “Harrison Bergeron” Harrison, one of the main characters is against everyone being equal and he tries to change things by breaking out of jail and going on the news live and taking off all of his handicaps and calling himself the “Emperor” and fining a girl who will stand with
One similarity is that Mrs. Hutchinson stands up for what she believes in, just like Harrison in the story, "Harrison Bergeron". Both the characters actually stand up for something they believe in front of everybody, which takes some major courage. Plus, all the people in the story, with the exception of Mrs. Hutchinson and Harrison Bergeron (maybe the ballerina in "Harrison Bergeron") participate in something. This includes them wearing the handicaps for "Harrison Bergeron" and actually stoning a person every year in the story "The Lottery". And lastly, somebody in the story does not believe in the rules.
The idea of this story is to show what would happen in our future if everyone was totally equal. Both of these stories are very convincing and use metaphoric language in different
Another item that is extremely important in both stories is the use and importance of fate. Both characters rely on their fates for assistance and for achieving
These two stories are similar because they are both about creating the earth. Some comparison is there are a forbidden tree in both, there is also two children that play big parts of the story, and in both stories there are a woman instigator. There is some differences in the stories first for the Iroquois story. The Animals are helpful, Sky woman created the earth. Then Sky woman creates two children, one creates good things the other creates bad things that goes against his brother.
While the similarities are smaller, like the considerate personalities shared between the main characters of both
One of the most important similarity is that both stories are well enjoyed over generations and teach great life lessons that serve the sole purpose of the
One theme that is shared between both stories is that a perfect pair does not exist. Unfortunately enough, Anthem states, “And each of the me have one of the women assigned to them by the Council of Eugenics”(Rand 41). In this part of the novella, the characters are being told who to be with and would eventually be put with another by the government to mate and reproduce. Throughout the short story “Survival Ship”, glimpses of similarity popped up. Towards the end of the story, these words explain, “I have arranged a-
They are placed in these stories to show the importance in individuality, and all the beauty that comes along with it. Everyone in both stories are “equal” or their idea of equal. Ayn Rand shows this in the story when everyone is told to wear the same color clothing while in Anthem they are forced to always forced into wear handicaps to hid their beauty, strength, and even their intelligence. Not only are they forced to wear certain clothing with no choice but in both stories the people are punished for just being who they are. The reason for all the same clothing just leads back to the individuality part of everything.
Even though both of these stories include the theme of reaching for something you don’t quite have may be in place in totally different texts that use their imagery in different ways, you can still find similar themes in both pieces of
Although, they have similarity, the two stories has major differences also. First, both author differs the way they introduce and develop their lead characters to the reader. Second, they also differ in perspective from which their stories are being told. Third, they differs on the choice of settings and how it impact to the stories.
The poem and folktale The Old Grandfather and His Little Grandson and Abuelito Who are similar and different in plenty of ways. One is about someone who is mistreated and one is about someone who dies. One has a narrator and one is told by the granddaughter. Those are just some of the differences. The characters, theme, genre, change in characters, events, and message expressed by theme are different and similar.
