Bicycles. A seemingly endless world of possiblilites. Yet, so singular. People. Some many different types, and separated from everything else. Who would ever say that two things couldn't be much different? But could they actually be similar?
The Fault in Our Stars and The Perks of Being A Wallflower are two books that cannot be missed. Even though they are both classified as Young Adult novels, these two book are very different but do have some similarities. The characters of these book have contrasting attitudes and their reactions to scenarios and varied. The Fault in Our Stars has more of a romantic touch to it while The Perks of Being A Wallflower is more about growing up. The characters are also deeply affected by the settings of the books.
The theme of power being abused is carried out in both I Only Came to Use the Phone and Lord of the Flies. The reasoning as to why we would see this theme as the base for both stories is because it is such a common theme; it is known that everyone craves power because of the self-satisfaction they gain from it. The authors of these stories realizing that, used the theme of abuse of power to create chaos within the story and create interest, and they did this by having their characters go after something that makes themselves feel powerful. In Lord of the Flies it was the powerful feeling of hunting for the boys, and in I Only Came to Use the Phone it was the power that the Matron had over Maria by sexually harassing her. Although those two examples seem as though it is people who abuse power it goes beyond that; as if the evil within everyone is awaken by power and that evil is what succumbs them to abuse the power.
Weapons, some say they are what win battles. Technology has become very developed over the years and with the advancement of technology, come many new weapons. From World War I to World War II many accelerated weapons where developed.

To class this comparison and contrast of The Matrix with regards of readings of Plato and Descartes would be a challenge. On this account, the comparison would be that all three questioned what is reality? What is real?, Am I dreaming?, or Am I up? Considered reading and re-reading all three texts to see that one comparison staring right at in the eye was difficult. The deliberation any cognitive ability to question what’s real seems to be a few centuries old questions. Nevertheless, the contrast would be having the opportunity to free our minds from all cares. In the Matrix the contrast was freeing our mind from a super computers.

An analysis of Mycerinus and Kha-merer-nebty II and Augustus of Primaporta, reveals that there are many similarities, but also many differences between these two pieces of sculpture. These similarities and differences are found in the subject, style, and function of both works of art.
Friendship. It is easily found for a majority of people. For some, it is not. August has trouble making friends. His face is an obstacle that prevents him from doing things that normal people can accomplish. The looks of his face should not be problem, and to some people it is not. While reading Wonder, I was able to relate to the main character August, because like myself, he loses and gains friends.
The earth matures and changes every day; therefore, the life which lives upon its surface develops with it. Because communication and story telling has always had an immense importance, literature has had a vital impact on everyday life all throughout history. Each day as the earth changes, so does literature, thus explaining why personality traits of characters and the setting in which novels take place are modified every day and shift with every time period. However, even when written in different eras, two stories can display similarities even in their most obvious differences. In just a quick glance, two pieces of literature written decades apart and with entirely opposite subjects do not seem to have much in common, but the backbone of each story contains aspects in which the other includes as well. The comparisons and contrasting ideas between Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World are explicitly delivered through the authors’ portrayals of characters, as well as the settings and worlds in which each story takes place.
Thinking back to our childhood, we all remember hearing many kinds of fairy tales. Some of them inspired us others confused us, and most of them taught us valuable lessons. Through out centuries tales and stories have been used as a valuable tool to pass on our culture to new generations. There is a strong belief that these fairy tales mirror and influence society. All cultures interpret tales in their own unique way. They add and subtract various aspects of the tale to fit the needs of their particular society. The same tale in the United States is different from the tale told in Asia. A good example of tale evolution can be seen in one of the most famous tales ever told which is “Cinderella”. As a professor of women’s history Karol Kelley points out in her essay Pretty Woman: A Modern Cinderella “There are some 700 versions of Cinderella”.This fairy tale as many others has been changing for many years, and in recent years Cinderella has come under some criticism for its depiction of women’s roles in society.
Throughout Andy’s story, he demonstrated having relationships with his parents and his peers. The more important relationships were with his friends, which helped him identify his self-acceptance. According to Garrod (2012), peer relationships include close friendships, cliques, peer groups and crowds, and romantic relationships (p. 143). Andy experienced relationships with friends, lacrosse team, and romantic encounters. His first relationship with friends started when he was a young boy in camp. He described his tepee experience he had with another boy from camp. After that experience Andy mentioned, “Maybe we were denial, or maybe we didn’t understand our desires, but we were able to maintain a unique friendship without speaking directly about that night” (Garrod, 2012, p. 196). At that moment, Andy was not sure what he felt about other boys and what he identified as.
The speech was deliver in the school auditorium at shadowland Elementary school with about 100 to 150 students between the ages of 9 -13. (Grade 4th to 5th Grade).

I could tell that the students had a connection with the director. On the screen was his name and the tittle of the speech “Now and back then” Black history speech.
Personal writing can take several forms, descriptive and narrative being two examples. The two essays, "I Want a Wife" by Judy Brady and "Sister Flowers" by Maya Angelou are prime examples of such writing. Both stories were able to capture my attention and entertain me throughout their entirety. Choosing a preference is always going to be subjective; it is all a matter of how you like to take in information. In fact, personal choice is what inclines you towards a certain title as opposed to another. Some may like to envision their own details, while some rather the images chronicled for them. In fact, the crystal clear details given in a descriptive essay as compared to a narrative, set the two far apart. Although narrative essays can give details without as much wording, the vivid pictures painted by a descriptive essay such as "Sister Flowers" is a superior read since the details make the story come alive.
