What Are The Similarities Between Big Fish And New Girl

1. The show that I saw was Big Fish by John August. I saw it at the Hale Centre Theatre on November 27th, 2015. The show was two hours and fifteen minutes long.

2. The show that I am going to compare Big Fish to is New Girl. I am going to compare to the whole series of New Girl. I think these two shows have an overall tone that is similar. They are both about family, close friends, and trying to get by. Big Fish is all about Edward Bloom and him trying to convince his son that he needs to live a happier life. Edward goes through many trials in his life and makes some very close friends, including the circus owner. The circus owner tells Edward that if he works for him for free, he will give him one hint per month as to where the love of his

I think that the biggest difference between these shows would be the realism. Big Fish is very out there and New Girl is a more realistic show. Big Fish has many examples that seem crazy such as Carl the giant, the witch, or the circus owner/ werewolf. New Girl is obviously more realistic and it demonstrates some of the struggles that regular people go through in real life. The reason that I mentioned this particular difference is because it alters the way that I watch the show. I take things in differently when I can look at it as realistic. That doesn't mean that I didn't relate to things in Big Fish, I just watch things differently based on how they are portrayed. Another difference between these shows is Big Fish had a more immediate family connection than New Girl does. Big Fish's main story plot is about Edward and Will Bloom. They are a father and son. New Girl's plot is mainly based around

I am going to compare Edward Bloom to Jessica Day. These two characters are pretty similar in my opinion. I feel like both of their main objectives in life is to make people happy and avoid conflict. In Big Fish Edward is always smiling and trying to spread good vibes. He always tries to make the best of his situations. One example is how he goes and talks to Carl the giant, rather than trying to kill him like the rest of the town wants to do. A good example of Jess doing this is after Cece breaks up with Schmidt, Jess is there to console her. She tries to have a slumber party with her like they did when they were little. I think that one way that these two differ is their goals in life. Edward seemed to always being trying to be the biggest and best at everything he did. Jess seems to be a lot more mellow with things. She is happy teaching children and trying to make them the best they can be. They both accomplish their goals in different ways. Edward accomplishes them at the end of the play and that is it. Since New Girl is a series, sometimes Jess succeeds and other times she does not. I think the biggest obstacle that Edward faces is his son. Will never believes Edward. Edward is trying the entire play to convince his son he is a good and honest person. He does convince him in the end. An obstacle that Jess faces is her emotions. She is a very emotional person and sometimes that gets the best of
