Essay about Comparing Brothers are the Same versus Through the Tunnel

there are two stories that are humorous also kinda sad and hppy and related to the world today. these two stories are “Seventh Grade” by Gary Soto and “Stolen Day”by Sherwood Anderson.now in these stories there are similarities and differences between the 2 main characters (which are Victor and the Narrator).so their problems, lessons, and character traits are both different and the same.

The similarity and connection existing between the two stories is the point of view in the two essays. The stories are both written in the first person perspective and that

“Sonny’s Blues” by James Baldwin is a story that takes place in the 1950’s in Harlem about two men who are brothers. Sonny, the younger of the two brothers, is a jazz musician who suffers from drug addiction. The older brother, the narrator, is a school teacher and has two children and a wife. “A Hunger Artist” by Franz Kafka is a story that depicts the life of an artist who imprisons himself and fasts for days. The Kafka kept the name of the main character anonymous, but the reader learns that he fasted before numerous people throughout his life. Both of these stories feature protagonists who are imprisoned, but the protagonists differ in who imprisons the protagonist in both stories. Knowing this difference helps the reader understand what the main message is in both of the stories, thus being able to see the similarities and differences in the two stories.

In my opinion I think that both stories are very similar in the way that both protagonist of both stories are poor men who I believe sold their soul to the devil. In the story

The settings of these narratives are alike in several ways. First, both are tales of African American middle class families living in south side Chicago. The whole family lives together in both stories, which promotes togetherness and family life. The opening scene of the

In the two short stories, “Brothers are the Same” and “Through the Tunnel” can be similar in some ways, such as the two boys have to go through rite of passage and they both are introduced to problems along the way. But the stories can be different in ways too. Such as Temas and Medoto have to do a rite of passage because it is tribal, Jerry has his own rite of passage. Also, Temas and Medoto have a harder task to go through rites of passage. Temas and Medoto have to kill a lion and all Jerry has to do is swim under a flooded tunnel.

The first thing why these stories are similar is that Education can totally change your view to everything. Education it’s a light in darkness, it can open our eyes. In the “The Allegory of the Cave by Plato” we have some good examples. First example is cave, cave showing us the world, and many people in this world tie in, only one thing that they can see is the wall, and in the front of the wall we can see a campfire, they can’t turn back, and every time we can see shadows on the wall. People kind of blind, they can’t move, they get used to live in this cave and watching only one picture of the shadows. In the “Learning to Read by Malcolm X” we can

Both of these characters that are in the two passages are slaves. They also are trying to reach a goal and trying to overcome what they are going through. All in all, one of their characteristics trait are the same. They both are strong willing and brave. Not to mention, in both of these passages they have had unexpected events that has happened to them.

They both craved independence and freedom. This is what made them the same. They were different in many ways but as well those differences brought them together to fight for independence in which we all crave. The viewer can see both perspectives on life from the two boys and also the similarities hidden beneath the

One way that these short stories are the same is by their immorality. The quote “but they all understand that their happiness, the beauty of their city, the tenderness of their friendships, the health

The theme in both of these stories are very similar because of the thing that happen to both characters. Plumwood got attacked by the crocodile and Eckels was being charged at by a T-rex. There is a big similarity to these two stories that people can learn from on a daily basis. When guides tell you to do something you need to listen because they know what they are talking about. In both stories Plumwood and Eckels did the exact thing that their guides told them not to do which is what got them into the trouble they got in. That is why we have rules and safety regulations to keep people from getting

The themes in both stories deal with family and how we may act when we are not around those family members or if we have to stand with family members against friends or other people in society. In ¨Raymond's

Raymond’s Run by Toni Cade Bambara I believe the theme is friendship but in the books they approach it differently. But the books have something in common the characters have to overcome somethings to be able to let people into to their lives because they know that they need friends because friends are one of the most important things in life because friends are always there to have your back and to support you no matter how bad of a situation they stay by your side and in these books the learn that.

First I want to talk about the of the similarities both stories are talking about love. Both the narrators suffer

In both "Sixteen" and "Through the Tunnel" some parts of the stories go almost hand-in-hand, while other aspects of the stories are complete opposites. The tones of "Sixteen" are both anxiousness and then disappointment; in "Through the Tunnel" is both childish and then realization.
