Also, they both assume that they are going to die sometime soon. Ernest Hemingway writes that Schatz says, "About how long will it be before I die?"(Hemingway 302) This means that he thinks that he is going to die soon and wants to know when so that he can prepare himself. Chris on the other hand declares, "I might die," I thought. "I might just suddenly die right here; my heart might stop beating."(Sherwood 306) Chris thinks that he is going to die right now this second. He thinks that because of the sickness he says to have he thinks that he will die any day, any second. He probably is wondering how his family might react to him dying.

... almost nothing alike from a superficial aspect. The stories have different historical contexts and they simply don’t have much in common to the average audience. It is easy to contrast the stories, but deep within certain elements, the stories can be linked in several ways.

“Adam and Eve” and “Flowers For Algernon” are similer in plot is because it kinda falls back on theme. Theme and plot are eachothers stands. Why they are similar is because like theme they both have the same outcome that they didnt
A third similarity is both endings are purposely incomplete. These two stories are left on a cliffhanger; Margot gets let out of the closet, and you don’t know how fatal the throwing of stones at Tessie

The poem “Those Winter Sundays” displays a past relationship between a child and his father. Hayden makes use of past tense phrases such as “I’d wake and hear the cold splintering, breaking” (6) to show the readers that the child is remembering certain events that took place in the past. Although the child’s father did not openly express his love towards him when he was growing up, the child now feels a great amount of guilt for never thanking his father for all the things he actually did for him and his family. This poem proves that love can come in more than one form, and it is not always a completely obvious act.

The point of views are alike when comparing the two stories while the mood that the setting creates is different. Dr. Seuss, a children’s book author, said, “You can find magic wherever you look.

Abuse is a difficult and sensitive subject that can have long lasting effects. These traumatic emotional effects are often intensified if the abuse happens at a young age because children do not understand why the abuse is happening or how to deal with it. There are many abuse programs set up to counter the severe effects which abuse can have. Even more, poets and writers all over the world contribute works that express the saddening events and force the public to realize it is much more real than the informative articles we read about. One such poem is Theodore Roethke’s My Papa’s Waltz which looks carefully through the eyes of a young boy into the household of an abusive father. Robert Hayden’s Those Winter Sundays is a similar poem from the perspective of a young adult reflecting back on the childhood relationship with his father and the abuse his father inflicted. These poems are important because they deal with the complex issues surrounding the subject of abuse and also show the different ways which children react to it. My Papa’s Waltz and Those Winter Sundays are similar poems because they use tone, imagery, and sounds and rhythms to create tension between the negative aspects of abuse and the boys own love and understanding for their father.
...eaders because the stories are woven in a related fashion. They both take place in similar worlds with comparable conflicts. The governments of both are more concerned with keeping their way of life than they are with individual people. Both stories center on a teenage girl who has become targeted by the government because she has upset the norm in some way and has in turn become part of a rebellion.
