“Clearly animals know more than we think, and think a great deal more than we know.”- Irene M. Pepperberg. This quote shows that animals are smarter than we think and know more than we think they know. In the two poems “A Blessing” and “Predators”, there are many ways that they are similar and different. Both stories have the same author’s style, setting and animals as characters, and a human and animal connection. But, the stories are different because of the poetic structure, tame or wild animals, and simple of sophisticated diction. First, the author’s style is similar in “Predators” and “A Blessing”. Both of the poems have sound devices. For example, in “A Blessing” the author repeats the word “they” several times at the beginning of each line, “they ripple tensely, they can hardly contain their happiness” and “they bow shyly as wet swans. They love each other.” In “Predators” the author has an alliteration, “in the trust that many tales spun this tract long before I came.” The sound devices give more details and can help the poem flow better. On the contrary, the poems are either written in a simple diction or a sophisticated diction. “Predators” is written with a sophisticated diction, meaning it has many unfamiliar words and it is sometimes hard to understand. For example, the author uses words like “pungent”, “feline”, “cultivate”, “tract” and “bevy of vixen” to describe the animals, things she is doing and smells. In the poem “A Blessing”, the author uses the
Have you ever been hunted or wondered what it would be like to be hunted, well Richard Connell the author of The Most Dangerous Game has exercised this idea into a short story. Rainsfords external conflict with zaroff, and his view on animals and how they change throughout the story, and being hunted by zaroff, then the change of his view on animals reveal that humans are more like animals than we realize. Throughout the story Rainsford’s understanding about how animals feel changes. Rainsford’s initial of view animals is that they do not feel anything and that they only know how to survive.
From “Living Like Weasels”, by Annie Dillard, To “The Sky Tree” by the Huron Tradition, these separate texts and the times they have been told have a lot of things in common. They represent each other on how these two really different text styles the perform in. The first text is “Living Like Weasels”, by Annie Dillard. One day she was sitting by a pond and enjoying nature.
After reading “How Stories Came to Earth” and “Coyote Steals Fire” it was obvious there are many similarities and differences between the two tales. There are many similarities between the two tales. The first similarity is both tales use anthropomorphism. In each tale the main
Both stories, “A Sound of Thunder” and “Being Prey” are in deadly settings, which cause dangerous situations for the main characters. Both face a predator at the location they’re at. In “A Sound of Thunder” Eckels faces a dinosaur and in “Being Prey”, Plumwood faces a crocodile. Both places are natural places. Neither one has been touched by humans.
Although these stories share similarities in the plot, the characters, and the theme they also show many differences. In both stories the plots are similar;
Some similarities are small, like the magic talking fish; but others, like the underlying motivation to be happy, are very important to the morals of the stories. Both Sergei and the fisherman want to be happy, Sergei wants to be happy alone on quite fishing trips, while the fisherman wants to be happy with his wife. The morals, even though they are tied together, are fairly different. For example, the theme of ‘What of This Goldfish, Would you wish’, doing the right thing, no matter the cost, is not the same as be grateful, which is the theme of ‘The Fisherman and His Wife’. Other differences include: the consequences, setting, and major character motivations.
Last, is that one is very long and the other is very short. They are similar because there both in the same time and setting. Therefore, Drummer Boy Shiloh and Drumbeats and Bullets are similar and different. The two stories are different because there written by different authors.
One of the most important similarity is that both stories are well enjoyed over generations and teach great life lessons that serve the sole purpose of the
The poems “A Blessing” and “Predators” can be the same or different because both have different animals but they act differently. In the poems “A Blessing” and “Predators” there will be comparing and contrasting in both poems, “A Blessing” and “Predators” Both poems “A Blessing” and “Predators” they both have tamed animals in both poems because the horses are tamed in “Blessing” and they are surrounded by fences/barbed wire so, they can’t get out on page 139 and paragraph 5 it says “We step over the barbed wire into the pasture” and on “Predators” they have cats and dogs who are tamed too. They are both different because in the poem “A Blessing” has peaceful and calm animals and the horses peaceful because they nuzzled on a person’s hand on
“Annabel Lee” and “The Raven” are similar because they both have the same mood and topic; however the two poems are different because the speaker felt differently about both of his lost girls.

The stories both involve in the wilderness. The “sound of thunder” had a lot of traveling in it. In the story “being prey” they had a lot of water, swamps. In the “sound of thunder” the machine stops working. In “being prey” the river over flows.
One of the first similarities in these stories is anthropomorphism. Some examples of anthropomorphism are a gambling coyote for fire, or a talking cat with a sack and boots. They also both achieve their goals, like coyote wanted fire so he cheated his way through it and ended up getting fire for everyone to share and spread around the world. Anansi
Nature and Man have various interactions with one another, some good and some bad, but both rely on each other to thrive. “A Narrow Fellow in the Grass” by Emily Dickinson, and “The Snake” by Wendell Berry both share similar experiences between man and snake, an animal of nature. These poems had differences in their way of telling the experience/story, but also had some similarities in other aspects. Though they have both similarities and differences, these poems are basically mirror images of the same idea, just with different ways to get to the point. “Narrow Fellow in the Grass” and “The Snake” share lots of similarities in many of the poems aspects.
