The Forbidden Zone Response
Borden utilized a first person point of view in both “The Priest and the Rabbi” and “The Two Gunners”, and unsurprisingly this serves to make the narrative more relatable to the audience on a personal level; however, the two short stories apply this device in different ways and to varying effects. The first narrative, “The Priest in the Rabbi”, focuses primarily on the interaction between the general and the hospitalized burn victim, and barring their dialogue, the story consists almost entirely of sensory detail with little personal input or thoughts from the narrator, which would appear to have been intentional. The narrator’s observation that “[the burn victim] was a great talker, was No. 11. He must have been the wag of his village. He came from somewhere near Nantes.

In particular, the surreal and hallucinatory atmosphere that both books exude that is made more vivid by the use of first person that all of these narratives have in common, the nonchalance and numbness with which the characters react to what would have horrified them in any other context, and the machinelike and almost animalistic aspects that they take on when confronted or overwhelmed are recurrent throughout all of these

As there is no specific style for this play, it is known to be categorized as a contemporary comedy as well as a character driven play. One of the character’s I would choose to play in, “The Norwegians” would be Olive. Olive is from Houston, Texas which doesn’t really require much of an accent.
... enough contrasts between them that allow them to stand out as completely individual from one another. Each of these novels, then, is able to both expand upon the other, while being free in its own expression at the same time.
The similarities are prolific in their presence in certain parts of the novel, the very context of both stories shows similarities, both are dealing with an oppressed factor that is set free by an outsider who teaches and challenges the system in which the oppressed are caught.
The underlying themes of the stories are l valid contrasts between the works. In some portions the themes are of the same facets, such as how in both books two men have a direct conflict between

In both books they share some traits, even though they may not look anything alike they are. both of these novels are dystopian novels and many characters share similarity’s.
... 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.
...ce, although both writings are interesting in their own ways, the most interesting aspect of both writings together is that they both have a similar plot and theme. It is rare that two
While reading different stories, you can find many similarities between the texts. For example, Romeo and Juliet and Pyramus and Thisbe are two stories that have many similarities. Throughout the story, the characters have many of the same traits. Similar events take place in the two stories. All these events lead both stories to a tragic ending. Stories can be similar in many ways. The characters, the setting, and the story line itself. Stories can also be very different. One may talk about an event that will break your heart, while another might bring a smile to your face. The two stories The Man to Send Rain Clouds and Old Man at the Temple have many similarities and differences in their settings due to the place, time, and culture.
The strange thing was that nobody was sure what language he spoke in. The audio was distorted, but occasionally you could hear his croaky voice with an unusual accent. Some thought he was speaking a dialect of English, or an archaic form of English, because they could make out some
There are two sides, good and evil, the main characters are usually on quests and have a companion, and the weather matches the mood of people involved in the story.

To summarise although all stories within a certain Genre are totally contrasting, they are similar in their sentence structure, characters, and of course… storyline.
These two authors are very similar. Both use dark, surrealistic language. Both men show different aspects of the descent into madness. Also both men use a descriptive, intelligent writing style. Instead of appealing to your emotions, or telling you what you should be feeling, they describe what is happening. Their descriptions may induce certain emotions, such as disgust, fear, or sadness, but they appeal first to the mind. They appeal first to the mind, and when the mind dictates to the heart that this is wrong, or strange, then the heart stirs and provides the appropriate emotion. Their writing styles may have their differences, but on the whole they are more alike than they are different.
