'And Of Clay We Are Created'

I. There happen to be different settings in both of the short stories but both of the settings adapt well with their plots.

different. They both share similar topics, in that they are two stories of cultures, but written from

First, the plots of both works need to be discussed and explained how they are different. The stories of both works have basically the same

Many intricate and renowned stories have been told over the history of humankind. Few have been linked and related to each other in the strangest of ways. Many people have critiqued and compared every last tantalizing detail in all of the stories and ripped them to their very meaning. When finding two stories that are very similar, you have to dip deep into their meanings and you have to find every single difference you can to bring the stories alive. The time and the place and the characters behaviors within their cultures are all extremely important factors. In the two stories The Man to Send Rain Clouds and The Old Man of the Temple, many bountiful similarities and differences can be found.

The two short stories share one similar theme, and contrast in others. The theme these two stories can compare is how the women, Mrs. Mallard and Clair feel about their loved ones and the relationship problems they face. The unsteady relationship becomes apparent when Mrs. Mallard expresses that she feels a sense of freedom when she hears of her husband’s death, which is odd for any marriage unless there is a sense of unhappiness within the relationship. Learning Mrs. Mallard feels free after her husband’s death makes the reader believe she was in an unhealthy

All in all the two stories are great. They both have many similarities and differences. I would have to say that I enjoyed the Cask of Amontillado better because it made a bit more sense. The milky eye confused me a bit. I cannot say that the motive for one or another are very great, they seem

Their differences are from their fathers and royalty. In Aschenputtel, her father favors the stepsisters and he marries a new wife within the next season. When she goes to the ball, she meets the prince and he follows her home, finally finding her. Whereas in Twelve Months, the main character’s father is not included in the story at all. When she comes back, she meets a farmer. The farmer is considered the royal aspect in this tale. Their differences are what makes the story lines completely different, but have the same concept which is, good wins in the end.

One of the things that is so fascinating about poetry is that it allows readers to discover and sometimes challenge and channel their emotions as well as their understanding. A poem’s words as well as its structure can reveal many things to its intended audience. In “Myth” by Natasha Trethewey, the poems form is just as important as the words she writes, becoming a map for the journey Trethewey takes, using transitions to take us from one place to another. The nature of the poem therefor becomes multifaceted, as it encourages the reader to think about the speaker’s words and use of form and structure she uses to craft this epic story. Using form as a tool, Trethewey is able to use structure as a way to guide us as readers and the speaker across the conscious and unconscious thoughts and dreams the speaker faces in this story.

These two stories were also very different, they were written in different views. The second story was written in first person, it told a story about a past experience. The first story was very general, it related to many women readers,

'The Storm' and 'The Story of an Hour' expresses the attitudes of two women's rebirth and liberation. These two stories are alike in several ways. Natures plays a major role in both of these women's lives. Calixta and Mrs. Louise Mallard struggle to find their independence and in doing so the endings are triumphant and tragic.

In the final analysis, characters from both stories carried with them a dream that inevitably led them to irrational thinking and an ultimate downfall. In simple

In another way, these two stories are different because the authors have been using different perspective when narrating the story.

From my interpretation, the plots are the same in general. Both show that love makes you do crazy things. Romeo and Juliet and Pyramus and Thisbe thought with there hearts instead of their heads being in those situations at those times. Had they both given a little time and thinking before their actions, both of the stories could’ve ended happily.

The short story “My Life with the Wave” by Octavio Paz is an allegorical piece that utilizes water as an extended metaphor for dysfunctional, emotional changes that occur in romantic relationships, and, more specifically, in women. The wave is personified through female characterization to highlight the uncooperative nature of women in romantic relationships. The various transformations for water act as a metaphor for various transformations in a dysfunctional romantic relationship. The water is also symbolic of love in that it goes on forever and is often inescapable. Paz effectively applies feminine characteristics to a wave in order to depict unpredictable and emotional human transformations in dysfunctional relationships that

Through the novel, Danticat expresses this. In the chapter “Night Woman”, an unnamed woman wants her child to live freely and happily so she goes into prostitution. In “Nineteen Thirty-Seven” two different women talk about their experiences with The Massacre River of their mothers. They both talk about how generations of women have brought light and hope into their lives. In the chapter “Children of the Sea”, a young girl goes into labor, while stranded on a boat sailing to America. The sight of a new child brings hope to the people on the boat. Finally, in the story “Between the Pool and the Gardenias” a woman has experienced much loss and is hopeless. When she holds a baby in her arms, she experiences happiness and hope. These stories illustrate the idea that Haitians can find hope and strength through familial generations, both past and future. Haitians have been able to find light in the wake of disaster through the love of family, and the generations of
