...Northrup, that composed “Time Machine...” and the editor from Washington Post that edited the article “West African…” are similar articles and they have differences between the both. These two articles have many subjects in general but; then, they have many subjects that are different from one another. In the articles being compared, one may think they are different; or maybe even the same information. On the comparing side there are many similarities alike. The slave articles show how many things are similar. First of all, the theme for the two articles is everyone should be treated equally. The similarity between these two articles is that they both show that every man should be treated the same. Furthermore of all both show that they...

...These two books are so similar a reader might think that one of the books had copied the other! Differences in Red Badge of Courage and Soldier’s heart are slim however, there are some important ones. The books are the same in some ways because both stories take place during the civil war. The main characters in both stories also share the same personality traits and experience some of the same troubles as the other, this may be why they seem alike throughout the two books. In conclusion, both books are similar but they also have some major differences. Charley the main character in Solder’s Heart, is from Minnesota while Henry, the main character in Red Badge of Courage is from New York. During battle the two characters acted differently, Charley stood his ground and followed his general’s orders but on the other hand, Henry ran away from battle and was labeled a deserter. Another difference is, Charley is injured differently then Herny, Charley is shot while fighting in battle, and Henry is hurt while fleeing away from his group. Another way the stories differ is the endings, in Soldier's Heart we get to see the negative effect the war had on Charley, however we do not get to see how the war effected Henry or how he reacts to the gruesome battles in the Great Badge of Courage. In my opinion, despite both books...

...Annette vs. Nancy When taking the time to examine the characters of Annette Reille, from the play, and Nancy Cowan, from Carnage, it is easy to find their likenesses, but there are also some noticeable differences. One of the main reasons for all of these differences is merely different interpretations of the character by different readers. For example, the tone in which certain lines are said or in the way a certain action is portrayed can change the whole personality of a character. When reading, the reader portrays each of the characters as he/ she believes them to be, but then another reader could have a difference of opinion and change the whole attitude; this was the case if you consider the readers to be myself and Kate Winslet. Although Annette often appears to be conciliatory, her counterpart Nancy seems more invested in ending in the conflict. In the play Annette is trying to work out the situation going on between the boys with no conflict between the parents, and this conciliatory side is shown many times throughout the play. One of the times we realize Annette is trying to keep the peace is in the beginning when she says to Veronique “We should be thanking you. We should” (Reza1258). Annette says this as a response to Veronique, after she finishes “discretely” bragging about how she and Michel handled the situation. She is very complimentary of Veronique, which is her way of keeping things calm. This line, along with others, shows Annette agreeing with these...

...priority to the similarities of people because people, by and large, have the same expression when they were born. Almost everyone will cry at birth, which is one of the similarities of people. There are many sayings about the phenomenon that people will cry at birth, and I prefer the philosophical one that “when I was born, I crying but lookers-on were smiling; when I was died, I smiling but lookers-on were crying”. It seems a little bit negative but it is also a stimulus for us, which encourages us to live a splendid but transient life. The opinion also resembles to the sentence in Professor Huang’s book-“No matter how long we lived in the world, the life for us is limited.” As for the similarities in mentality, I firmly believe that two different people may have something in common. Not only limited to the “mentally speaking, we all seek emotional pleasure and avoid pain”, different people may feel the same thing from each other, and these two people are so-called soul mate. I still remember the movie Mary and Max, which exactly describes a pair of soul mate sharing common thoughts in spite of the difference of age. There are also many examples in couples and friends, though they may have a big age gap. Actually, the differences among people may much more than those similarities. Twins can be different in many aspects, let alone those people of different nationalities. The most obvious difference is appearance. Despite twins are really alike, they are still not identical...

... We all have friends who are different. Not everyone can be the same. It’s interesting to see just how some people can be the same and yet so different. They might have the same taste in music, or in clothes. People often misunderstand why some friends hang out together. They might have many of the same qualities and yet be very different from each other. A few of the differences between countries, for example, are a good way to start. Lifestyles in one country are very different from another. In the journal article, “Health Lifestyles in the United States and Canada: Are We Really So Different? “, authors Krueger, Bhaloo, and Rosenau state that one major difference here in the U.S is the smoking age. The U.S smoking age is 18, while Canada’s smoking age is 12. Another lifestyle difference is what the U.S conducted a study where questions on binge drinking were asked every thirty days, whereas in Canada, the question was associated for every twelve. Here in the U.S, our mortality rate among HIV survivors is very high. In Canada, the mortality rate is lower due to the high number of teenagers. These are just a few examples of “friendly” countries with similar, yet huge lifestyle differences. But not all friendships fall into the same category of lifestyles. People tend to view others as having the same personalities because they can not see how two very different people can be friends...

The similarities and differences in the short story and movie is how he loved Indians. Also how he gets kidnapped, but in the movie he gets kidnapped twice . in the movie Andrew is not as bad as the short story says he is .

...A lot of people have been to a place that was vastly different from their own living conditions. These differences could be going from a city-like suburban area to a more rural, calm country-sided place. Differences may not seem to be that apparent when you compare places such as Ney York and New Jersey; but the differences, however, may be more noticeable when you compare places such as New York City(NYC) and Miami. From the way people behave to how the air feels, the differences between NYC and Miami are almost like black and white when put side by side to each other. One of the most apparent differences between NYC and Florida is means of transportation. In NYC one of the main sources of transportation is the subway system, which are the Metro trains that go through a grid-like system to transport people from one location to another. The bus system is also a part of the Metro system, which means the payment...

...Diversity Month at her daughter, Sarah’s, preschool. During Cultural Diversity Month, Miss Laura is teaching the little preschoolers about the differences in each one of their cultural and ethnic backgrounds. The kids are being taught where their family came from, what race the kids are, and how it makes them all unique or different. Little preschoolers should probably have some type of knowledge of their background but not at two or three years old. One would agree with Susan Brady Konig that the idea of teaching multiculturalism in schools can cause cultural divides in this country. If it were to be taught in school, it should be taught later in life when students are able to comprehend and process the differences between ethnic cultures. Kids should be taught the alphabet and how to count instead of learning the color of their skin. They should grow up and learn the American culture before learning about their ancestral heritage. If a child wants to know where they came from or what their culture is, let their parents explain to them why their skin is that color and why their hair is that color and texture. Why force race, religion, or cultures on a child who can barely spell what country their ancestors are from? Pushing these thoughts and ideas on preschoolers can divide the classroom because little kids will only see the physical difference between each other and judge one another for being different than them. This forms cliques and groups...

...After reading, "Jews' tale plays out again as Syrian refugees find resistance to U.S. entry" and "Fresno family represents the plight of Syrian refugees," there are noticeably many similarities between the two texts, also many differences. They both involved refugee families, yet they both have different outcomes/endings and experiences. Initially, both stories mention refugees and how they adjusted to their new lives. As far as having to deal with being displaced by the Syrian conflict, and always being criticized. In the article, Fresno family represents the plight of Syrian refugees, the author states, "The Kashak family are among about 10,000 people in the U.S who fled the Syrian war.." This evidence shows that not only the Kashak family,...

...could be said that age and culture can change how one looks at friendship. The simplest way to define friendship would be as a relationship between two people who consider themselves “friends”. This essay will also consider the advantages, disadvantages, similarities and differences between two studies that used the content analysis approach and the ethnographic approach. When looking at both bigelow & la gaipa (1975) and william corsaro's (2006) studies I will also look at how there work as influenced future studies in this area of research and what criticism's have been made of there research. When looking firstly at the content analysis approach that bigelow & la gaipa took,to that of corsaro and the ethnographic method there is at first stark similarity,both bigelow & la gaipa and corsaro's studies were looking at what a child's understanding of friendship was. However after the inital comparison the aims are actually quite different,as bigelow & la gaipa's aim was to investigate children's understanding of friendship,in contrast to william corsaro who investigated children's individual understanding of the word “friend” he was interested in how children talked to each other. Basically the main difference is where corsaro explored the term “friend” and how children used the word. Bigelow & la gaipa wanted to know about actual relationship between children. For example william carsaro looked for interactions and communication between children in there own setting,whereas bigelow...

...The concept of death is filled with a vast amount of uncertainty, the concept of where one goes after death is a question that had baffled people from the beginning of time. A number of people have attempted to create individual ideas of what the afterlife will be like. This paper will try to find the differences and the similarities between the hell that is depicted in Dante’s Inferno and in the film What Dreams May Come. The film, What Dreams May Come, is about two people, Chris and Annie, who fall in love and become soul mates. Unfortunately Annie faces many hardships in her life after her two children pass away in a car accident in addition to her husband dying as well. Annie is unable to deal with the pain of her losses and chooses to commit suicide. Because of Annie’s decision to end her life she goes to a special place in hell for those who commit suicide while Chris is in heaven. Once Chris realizes that Annie will never be able to join him in heaven he promises to journey to hell and retrieve Annie and bring her back with him to live in heaven together for eternity. A difference between Dante’s depiction of hell and the film’s view of hell is the concept of where one goes when he or she dies being subjective or objective. In Dante’s Inferno, he creates a hell that is full of creative monsters, and terrifying lands filled with unthinkable punishments for the crimes that were committed while the person was alive. This hell is divided and then subdivided again into...

...examining the two newspapers, it can be stated that there are some similarities and definitely differences. Although the readership can be assumed to be of different personality types WSJ and NE contain similarities and differences in terms of their graphics, advertisements, and article content. To start with, comparing the graphics of the two publications, it is noted that both have similarity with the use of bold larger font lettering for their headlines making a visual effect in separating articles. Both papers use colored ink for images and pictures and also feature photos of people that mirror human emotion. For example, the WSJ’s article “Teens Care Spurs Wider Fight” has a picture of the teen’s mother looking distraught and another article in the WSJ sports section titled “Team Canada: Officially Unstoppable” shows a hockey player with his hands up in the air and a look of celebratory victory with a huge smile on his face. In like manner, NE has numerous photos of people showing emotion. For instance, the article “Mad Mel’s Even Madder” contains a photo shot of Mel Gibson with a look of anger and appears as if he is yelling; while another article on the same page “Celine’s Cancer Stricken Husband” shows a picture of Celine Dion looking down with a wrinkled forehead and a frown on her face. Although both contain some graphic similarities, there is definitely a difference how the graphics are presented and used. Even though the headlines of both publications...

...CTMC’s major county it serves is Hays for GRMC’s county is Guadalupe. Both organizations will overlap on counties it serves with health care services. A non-for-profit hospital based organization; each hospital has plenty of similarities and differences among them both. This paper will include the similarities and difference as well as some of the marketing and Public Relations each organization is doing. The difference in the two non-for -profit organizations will allow patients in Hays County and the surrounding counties to decide which health care facility is best for him or her. With similarities involved it will just add extra bonus to the patients for if they could not receive results from CTMC they can got to GRMC and vice versa. One of the major marketing tactics that will cause a patient to be faithful to one organization more will be the customer service and how he or she is treated. Similarities First thing first, let’s start with the similarities on the two organizations. We already know that CTMC and GRMC are considered a non-for-profit organization, this gives them a tax exempt status under the 501 (3) (c) and are both accredited by Joint Commission. With acquiring just over 700 employees, both organizations have the same goal in mind to provide excellent customer service to patients and family. With that in mind keeping employees happy will help them reach this goal. CTMC and GRMC offer benefits and incentives to their...

... Situation in which joint output of single firms is greater than output that could be achieved by two different firms when each produces a single product. This refers to how an organization can lower the average per unit cost by expanding the number of products/services if offers. By using the same facilities, equipment, labor force, technology, etc., a company can use product diversification to become more efficient and increase revenue. The theory is that selling several different products/services can be done more efficiently than selling only one product/service because the company can distribute the costs over a greater revenue base. Example using the Coca-Cola company: Economies of scope is at play when the company decides to use its current equipment, facilities, technology, labor to produce more beverages (i.e., Sprite, Fanta, Minute Maid) in an effort to diversify and lower costs. When they ship the more and more beverages using the same vehicle, they save money on shipping because the more products you ship, the more efficient it can become. The difference between Economies of Scale and Economies of Scope: Both are conceptually similar, but the following differences exist.Economies of scale is about gaining benefits by producing large volume of a product, whereas economies of scope brings benefits by producing a wide variety of products by efficiently use of the operations.Economies of scale refer to reduction in average cost for a single product, whereas economies...

...Compare and Contrast Tuck Everlasting Paper The novel and movie Tuck Everlasting are both exciting and interesting. The story Tuck Everlasting written by Natalie Babbitt is about a family that can not die, but they live forever. The novel and movie are both amazing and many people recommend it. However there are similarities and differences to the book and movie. Two similarities from the book and movie are that the characters and settings are the same. For example, Winnie dies and does not drink the water in both the book and the movie. One quote from the book is, In loving memory Winifred Foster Jackson dear wife, dear mother, 1870-1948. This quote was found on page 138 in the book and in the scene where Jesse sees Winnie’s gravestone...
