The War of the Worlds vs Never Let Me GO
H.G. Well’s The War of the Worlds and Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go are two sensational pieces of writing of Science Fiction done by their Authors. These two Novels write in a great manner by two significant authors which convey a different Purpose through the story and make a compare and contrast in the story. H.G. Wells and Kazuo Ishiguro use the character, conflict, and Form to show their message to readers. On one side where Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go focusing on the possibility of Cloning and difficulty of finding an identity, there on the other side H.G. Wells who known as “father of science fiction” focusing on War and Destruction throughout The War of the Worlds.
Firstly, Both Authors

In First side Main character of The War of the Worlds who is Mature, calm during story put his emotions beside while telling the story to readers and on the another side Tommy is not very Mature and isolated child who not have control over his emotions. “At times I suffer from the strangest sense of detachment from myself and the world about me; I seem to watch it all from the outside, from somewhere inconceivably remote, out of time, out of space, out of the stress and tragedy of it all” (Wells 134-135). This is a quote from The War of the Worlds that shows the difference between two characters. That sounds like a useful trait for a narrator who is telling us about stressful, tragic events. The narrator who is in war and destruction through the whole story shows that instead of getting caught up in his own emotions, he put himself away from "the stress and tragedy” and tell us what's really going on in the world. But In Never Let Me Go Main character Tommy shows totally different traits of his identity. As we remember when Tommy does not make his way through football team selection, he shows us very angry,
The book Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and the movie V for Vendetta both take place in a dystopian future. Each one very different, but similar dystopian societies with many similar aspects such as luring citizens into false happiness, censoring citizens from different forms of literature, and characters who can really see behind the government’s façade and tell what is wrong with society. Similarity between the two ranges from meek things such as a similar setting with both societies residing in London, or more intricate things like similarities between the governments. Since the beginning of mankind humans have long since craved for a feeling of belonging and to be a part of something. Over the long history of mankind this same feeling has led to the growth of civilizations and societies. Eventually leading up to modern day societies with governments such as republics, dictatorships, and democracies. Each with its own different ways of
... 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.
Firstly the other uses many unique ways to tell the story one main way Jon Krakauer does this is using other authors quotes
An individual’s mental well being can greatly affect their character and the way they perceive things. In the novels The Kite Runner and A Separate Peace, the protagonists are boys who are infested by internal conflicts such as insecurities and emotions. In Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner, a boy lets his dad negatively affect his character, causing him to treat those around him in a cynical manner. Likewise, a boy from John Knowles’ A Separate Peace bases his character on whom he wishes to be, letting his unhealthy mental state consume him. Hence, explored through both novels, is how a person’s internal conflicts can lead to their downfall, whether as a result of their struggle with identity or their feelings towards others.
"Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while." This quote summarizes Catherine and Henry's love for each other. Even though Catherine died, Henry had a huge space of emptiness left in his heart. Marriages in today's society are very serious relationships although some people don't seem to take them so seriously. Take for example Dennis Rodman, who married Carmen Electra and they divorced a week later. This shows how men are sometimes over powered by looks. My essay contrasts the relationships in Hemingway's Farewell to Arms to the relationships in Steinbeck's East of Eden. E. Hemingway displays a sense of respect for couples whereas J. Steinbeck portrays that women are venerable can't hold a steady relationship. Abra gradually fell in love with Cal and eventually cheated on Aron with his brother Caleb. Cal slowly tries to ruin Aron. Cal influences Abra's thought of Aron by saying sweet things to her. Adam smiled at her. "You're pink as a rose," he said. (590) The passage shows that Cal is trying to romance Abra. He knows Abra is venerable because Aron is away in the army and she misses him. By Aron absent, Abra needs a man and she turns to Cal.

The aim of this essay is to explore the way in which the two authors
However, due to the narration of the books being different both books have different effects on the reader. Andrea narrates in a disengaged way where she doesn’t want the reader to sympathise for her but to listen to the struggles she went through as she uses a childlike lexicon narration, written in a curt way showing her stoicism. One the other hand, Masters narrates in a self-deprecating and adds humour to Stuarts misfortunes. Masters narrates in third person however he does the unusual that doesn’t happen in biographies and adds his own opinions in the book making himself a character as well. Both books are narrated different and are written in a different style but the way they narrate helps to generate
Gene(Narrator) is the most realistic in the novel, yet in a few ways he is also idealistic, but never the less still the realist of the story. His look on life is that there is a war but not a war on far away battle fields a war on the homefront, with being competitive with Finny, trying to ruin Finny, and knowing that he was in the process of breaking someones hopes and dreams. Gene best shows his realistic view point

...ing their articulation, they try to make the readers reflect their emotions. Dillard mainly uses her tone to portray her ideas. Krakauer uses contradictory views of other people and his own thoughts to evaluate the journey of McCandless. O’Brien illustrates war stories and emotions created due to war stories on different plots. All these authors use diction in certain parts of their text to make their argument peculiar. They use contradictory views to make the reader choose the view that is correct for him/her, instead of forcing a conclusion on them.
Both narratives compare as timeless tales of reputable heroes. They both include similar plots of long journeys back home. The main characters’ flaws are arrogance which is the source of many of their troubles.
connection. Although the story lines in both of the publications are quite different from one another,
Earnest Hemmingway once said "Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime." (Ernest Hemingway: A Literary Reference) War is a gruesome and tragic thing and affects people differently. Both Vonnegut and Hemmingway discus this idea in their novels A Farewell to Arms and Slaughterhouse Five. Both of the novels deal not only with war stories but other genres, be it a science fiction story in Vonnegut’s case or a love story in Hemingway’s. Despite all the similarities there are also very big differences in the depiction of war and the way the two characters cope with their shocking and different experiences. It is the way someone deals with these tragedies that is the true story. This essay will evaluate how the main characters in both novels deal with their experiences in different ways.
