Comparing The Girl Who Drank The Moon 'And The Lost Thing'

These two characters showed significant psychological work in hopes of changing their “problematic” social identity. Both of these characters were conscious of the stigmas that surrounded their identities, each, however, had distinct ways in which they dealt with those stigmas and changing their meanings as they grew older. Many would say that the way in which they were able to transform their identities meant either embracing it or denying one’s own identity fully as the film progressed and new societal pressures arose.

The theme of both stories involve the powerfulness of nature. They also have to decide if they want to be in or out of harm. Finally the explanation has come to an

The three sisters are triplets so they look alike with long thick black hair, average builds just a carbon-copy of each other. Missy and Claire have the same style and taste, but are exact opposites in personality. Missy was popular, did not like to study, she would rather be reading Cosmopolitan but, she was also daring and brave. In the story she is the one who is dying to meet her twin and comes up with the idea to leave town to meet her while Claire is worried and not wanting to leave. Claire could be categorized as a nerd she loved; learning, homework, and every little thing about school. She was not as popular as Missy but she was known at school. Claire fits in so well with the nerds because she is also shy and worries easy. In the story when Missy leaves on the train, she doesn't want to come or even meet the third girl she wants to stay just the way she is now. Genevieve is the middle ground she likes school, but she doesn't hate it, she is the everyone knows but is not popular. Genevieve is caring nevertheless in the book she showed this trait when she went to go care for her grandmother and the other people in the nursing home every

Concluding Each person has their own story. Some are similar but also different. What makes the stories different , however, is their motive which can change at the turn of a dime. In the book Into the Wild, Chris abandons all he knows and treks ‘into the wild’ to find himself. He chooses to live a solitary life in an attempt to discover who he really is and how is different in real life. Also, sometime we have to think positive about the decision we decide to take

In the opening pages of the story; there is talk about how the girls meet and gives a description of how they “…look like salt and pepper…” (Morrison 239). This can draw a reader to a point of thinking, that one of the girls is white and the other girl is black because of the colors of salt and pepper. This gives a better understanding of their friendship and how it is effected by the time era.

Finally their school life is different .One example is summer is one of the nicest kids in the grade and looked up to by many kids like when Mr.Tushman picked summer as one of the 3 kids to help show august around the school. There for summer is looked up to.But Alexia is just flat out mean to everybody just because she is insecure.Lastly Summer makes friends very easily like when she randomly sees august sitting alone at the lunch table she sat by him despite his looks.but on the other hand Alexia has on and of friends because she makes fun of everybody.School life is very different because of thier attitudes.

object, every individual has felt love and attraction towards something because it gave them a sense of acceptance and purpose. As an individual achieves acceptance, they define a purpose. As a common theme of life; Nino Ricci’s story, “Going to the Moon” and James Joyce’s story, “Araby” similarly established the theme, “allure of the other” by demonstrating mutual aspects. For instance, the two stories both illustrated young-isolated male narrators who were plot driven by older-influencing female characters that accepted them. Together, they’re relationships helped to explore and define the concepts of allure, acceptance, reality and imagination, which aided to break the isolated nature of the protagonists. Ricci and Joyce demonstrated that their particular protagonist ultimately shared the same desire, dilemma, and discovery as the other character; the desire for “acceptance and purpose”, the dilemma to “achieve acceptance”, and the discovery that “acceptance is not always what it seems”. Initially, the narrators shared the same desire for affection because of a powerful attraction or “Allure” towards a prominent female character. In Ricci’s Story, the narrator displayed an allure for Miss Johnson (his teacher), while in Joyce’s story, the narrator developed an allure towards Mangan’s sister (a peer’s sibling). Hence, the theme, “the allure of the other”, allowed individuals of the opposite sex to serve as a catalyst for plot development and succession. Similarly, the two

Difference Interpretations of Cinderella Transformations gives a new perspective on classic fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm, but one in particular stuck out to me. In the story about “Cinderella” there are many similarities, but the differences are what shows the mark of a good writer. Every story Anne Sexton writes about in Transformations uses confessional pieces before the fairy tale to relate to her own life. In addition, “Cinderella” is a very well known story, but the most popular one is the Disney version which is the most pleasant interpretation. The Transformation’s version of Cinderella uses differences between the Brothers Grimm and Disney, outlines descriptive images, and also uses Anne Sexton’s confessional poetry throughout

The two stories of “Cinderella” are “Tam and Cam”; and “The twelve Months: A Slav legend adapted by Alexander Chodzko. These stories have similar ways in portraying the hard working Cinderella including her suffering, but they are different in Cinderella’s motive of rescue one tale use violence if necessary; the other just more of a genuine resourceful approach. This means this character isn’t relying on a prince charming to be her rescue, so this makes the concept different from the other because “Tam and Cam” Cinderella lives forever happy with her lover, while “The twelve Months: A Slav legend adapted lives by herself and then a farmer she likes shows up. These tales went for a more sophisticated setting, each displaying the peasant overcoming the struggle; in which she is set free from all of her hurting. Throughout each story Cinderella is taking and caring she always seemed to get the short end of the stick. But, when the odds back fired on the step-sisters and step-mother the karma was naturally set upon to benefit Cinderella in her favor “Tam and Cam” or set in motion by her as payback to get even with her rival characters of a family in “The twelve Months: A Slav legend adapted lives.

This scene is significant to illustrate how both characters are formed by their social constructs while wanting different intentions.
