In the two versions of “Dark They Were, and Golden-Eyed” by Ray Bradbury, the plot is developed differently in some ways and similarly in others. In the radio play, the plot is developed faster through sounds and dialogue. It also adds music to create stronger tone. In the short story, the plot is developed slower through thoughts, without music. In both versions of the story, dialogue is used to establish parts of the plot. The plot of the radio play is developed through the use of sounds and dialogue. For example, Harry shouts at the martians in the mountains when he is upset, instead of looking at them and thinking to himself. When Harry shouts, it shows more emotion than the short story because it clearly shows the reader that he is very upset. Harry’s voice sounds agitated and worried. In the short story, the plot is developed through thoughts. Instead of Harry shouting at the mountains, he quietly thinks to himself. Even though the short story and the radio play say almost exactly the same thing, the short story fails to achieve the same emotion of the radio play. Since the reader does not hear Harry’s voice, they cannot listen to his frustration. The radio play also adds music to create stronger tone. For example, when Harry talks to Cora about about the martian landform names, he says, “Somehow it doesn’t seem right to change those …show more content…

“Temperament lies behind mood; behind will, lies the fate of you character.” Writers use stylistic techniques to help the story really be visualized by the read. In “The Treasure Of Lemon Brown” by Walter Dean Myers the author uses descriptive adjectives and purposeful word choice to develop characters and mood.
“Make them laugh, make them cry, make them wait.” These are three demands for the writing of fiction. By following these demands, an author sparks interest in his/her work. “Make them wait” is a signifigant in creating the interest in the novels The Catcher in the Rye and Lord of the Flies. This essay will explain how making the reader wait creates interest in the two novels stated earlier.
In the famous novel and movie series, Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, an average teenage girl, Bella Swan, is forced to move from Arizona (where she lived with her mother) to Washington to start an almost new life with her father. She attends a small-town high school with mostly average people, besides one family, the Cullens. As Bella and Edward Cullen get closer, she uncovers a deep secret about him and his family. Their relationship faces many hard challenges and conflicts as the story develops. Both the novel and movie share very similar storylines, however, differ in many ways. From themes to author’s craft, or to relationships, these important parts of the story highlight the significant differences and similarities of Twilight.

Books written in the Gilded Age are most usually an accurate representation of the lives led by those characters represented in them. They give us an in depth and up close and more personal look at the difficult and fast-changing times back then. Although Maggie and O Pioneers! differ in geographical terms, they both make me feel like I actually understand what it was like to live back then. When you compare them side by side you can see that both sides of life affect the personalities and characterizations of people depicted.
After a careful overview of these two texts, Red Scarf Girl, and “How to listen #3” (102) from Brown Girl Dreaming, a deplorable tone shows up. Both texts are about different people and different events. Yet both of them create the same tone.
There are many notable differences between the book and the movie of To Kill a Mockingbird. Although not all of the differences change the outcome of the full story. First, Jem retrieved his pants from the Radley fence, and Dill did not make up strip poker. Second, Aunt Alexandria never comes to live with the children. Third, the children never go to church with Calpurnia.
Both of these stories served as mile markers in the history of children's literature, and marked turning points in our Society. For the first time, children were allowed to think freely, and learn. They independently formed their own thoughts on life, God, and many of the other highly regulated aspects of their society. Until this time most of the children were taught to think as their parents or feel the wrath of vengeful and often cruel God.

Short stories are a form of literature works that authors use to communicate various themes and issues to the reader. As such, it is common for different short stories authored by different people to have a central meaning or theme that differs from each other. In addition, the way the author portrays his/her central theme or meaning would differ from the way other authors would craft their short stories to best portray their central meaning. While some would use characterization as a means of portraying the theme of their story, other authors employ the use of symbols to better communicate their theme. However, some slight similarities can always be drawn between short stories. ‘Hills like White

The Effect of Dual Narration by Michael Frayn on the Readers Understanding of the Text
Roses are red, violets are blue, Snow White has changed, everything’s new. This is a different beginning than the original story of Little Snow White by the Grimm Brothers and retold by the director Rupert Sanders, in the movie Snow White and the Huntsman. The original story portrays Snow White as a beautiful, but naive, young woman, leading up to her eating a poisoned apple from the evil queen. The evil queen has been jealous of Snow White after she has grown up and become more beautiful. Although in both the story and the movie, Snow White eats a poisoned apple, Snow White in Snow White and the Huntsman is portrayed as more brave and courageous, even after she wakes up from the poisoned apple.
