Dark They Were, And Golden Eyed Analysis

own part to making the story bigger and better. The moral of the story is to have

The passages differ because the point of view is different. The one by crane is more vivid. It has more descriptive words than “The Artillery at Hazel Grove.” As I'm reading the story it makes me feel scared but proud. It makes me feel as if I'm a soldier in that war. It gives me an adrenaline rush because you don't know whats going to happen next.

Sometimes, when transferring text to audio, or vice-versa, things can be changed. This is shown many times in Ray Bradbury’s Dark They Were, and Golden-Eyed. Both versions tell the same story, but they use techniques specific to their mediums. In case you haven’t read it, a summary- The Bittering family- Harry, Cora, and their three children Dan, Laura, and David- has arrived on Mars as part of a new 800-person settlement. Coming from Boston, they have moved to Mars in order to avoid the foreseen destruction from the war that is being waged on Earth. While they were all skeptically optimistic about their new life on Mars, they took comfort in the fact that they could always buy a return ticket home at any time. But soon after their arrival, they are no longer able to rely on this option. Laura runs home one day to tell them that a bomb hit New York and all of the rockets were blown up. The family is stranded on Mars forever. Devastated, Harry decides to rededicate himself to his plot of land. As he was working in his garden, he begins to notice that things are the "same, but different," such as the peach blossoms, carrots, radishes, and other produce planted in his garden. Harry begins to panic that Mars is changing him and his belongings, even his family, whose skin is turning darker, and eyes turning golden. It's a fascinating story, and I would most definitely recommend it. This essay shall demonstrate the differences of the written piece compared to the auditory

Seeing the speech can enhance its effects. In the movie it is easy to see how the speech affected the men. This is shown by their facial expressions changing from sad or angry to passionate. It is harder to see this change in the book. Another way viewing helps add emotion is by letting us see the facial expressions and emotions from Chamberlain himself. The movie shows him getting emotional and tearing up a little whereas in the book it is very hard to tell the emotion behind this speech. Another way viewing enhances the emotion is by letting us hear the words. When reading the words on paper it is hard to get a sense of exactly how to read

In both passages, the main characters follow the same pattern of emotions. In the first passage, “Departure”, George Willard, the main character, is leaving his home town and everything he knows to head for the big city. In the next passage, “Farewell to Eliza”, the main character tells his love, Eliza, that they must part because he is dieing. The main character in “Departure” shows anxiousness before he leaves and the main character in “Farewell to Eliza” shows more sadness in the beginning, but both show acceptance in the end of how things turned out.

     The characters are totally different in the two versions. The short story’s main characters are a family; a husband, a wife, and two children. The film’s characters are a woman and a man, and the man’s mother and younger sister.

Personally, the audio play lived up to my expectations more so than the visual play. While the visual play was excellent and followed the play well, the setting seemed undone. For example, the kitchen appliances were white, which didn’t seem appropriate for an old farm house. Also, the attire was underdone as well. The Sheriff didn’t have an official uniform on and the attire didn’t appear period correct. On the other hand, the audio play provided the voiceover, which allows the reader to visualize the play on their own. Secondly, I feel the visual played provided more emotional appeal. Mainly, the emotional appeal came from the actors facial expressions and body language. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to obtain the same effect through an audio recording. Third of all, the audio recording provided sound effects as opposed to a physical setting. For example, instead the rocking chair being shown, the audio provided the sound of a rocking chair. Another example, instead of showing the dishes like the visual play, the audio recording provided sounds of dishes being moved around in a sink. Overall, the audio recording captured the author’s intent the

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,

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

     The very first difference is probably the most noticeable and important difference between the two versions of the film: the narration of Rick Deckard

Like I said before, there are major differences between these two. Some are very visible; the names of the characters. There are others that even though are minor, they are completely unnecessary. This minor differences are small details that we remember from the book, and we were expecting to

Why do the words that authors use in their writing help set the overall atmosphere of the story? In the story, "What Do Fish Have to Do With Anything," a young boy named Willie and his cautious mother, who were abandoned by their father, come across a beggar, and Willie grows curious of his character, thus leading him to question him. After a series of encounters, Willie learns that the homeless man was not what he seemed, but a man of wisdom. In the story, “Dark They Were, And Golden Eyed” by Ray Bradbury, a party of humans arrive in Mars and try to build their new lives there after an apocalypse on the Earth. One of the humans, Harry Bittering, is skeptical about Mars and how living there may not be the best idea. In both “Dark They Were,

Some ways the original Tell Tale Heart and the rewritten version are similar are the mood and the plot. The mood of the stories are both suspenseful and erie and build up tension throughout the story. According to (Poes) text it states, “I arose and argued about trifles, in a high key and with violent gesticulations, but the noise steadily increased.” According to (Johnson’s) text it states,”We talked a little longer, and then suddenly he gripped his head, and doubled over. Something was wrong.” This quotation also built up suspense because the man across from the policemen fell over and made the policemen nervous about whether or not the man was the murderer. Another thing that makes both versions is the plot. The plot of both stories are in the old man’s house in the 1800’s. According to (Poes) text it states, “And then, when my head was well in the room, I undid it just so much that a single thin ray fell upon the vulture eye.” The narrator was in the old man’s bed room, waiting for the perfect time to commit the murder. According to (Johnson’s) text it states, “We went all around the large house, and saw nothing suspicious or anything that could have caused a murder. The man pulled up three wooden chairs, and let us sit and we chatted amongst ourselves, while he sat across from us.” The policemen sat in the exact place where the corpse was under the floorboards, and never noticed until the man showed them.

However the movie version had one advantage which was the usage of music that instilled a sense of peculiarity and strangeness to the common sense of things. The book has more a mundane tone to the story, basically the typical office environment and the only display of activities was about Bartleby’s passive resistance. The movie had a more comical tone to many of the scenes such as when Rocky comically engaged in sweet or trashy phone talk with some nameless women or when Ernie repeatedly indulges himself in seemingly retarded behaviors during the city manager’s visit to the office. The subtle seduction of both the boss and the city manager by Vivian also greatly enhanced the overall comical sense of the movie.

Is the atom bomb an advantage in political war? The atom bomb was first discovered and tested in 1945 in a desert in New Mexico. It was massive and ever since it was a terrifying factor in intimidation towards the countries fighting against each other.
