.... same basic plot. Grimm's version is for children, while Sexton's version is suited towards an older age group. Both fairytales explain how parents should treat their children and also what the different roles of a woman and a man are. Although the stories talk about the same thing their views are different. In "Hansel and Gretel male and female children are treated differently and are taught to behave like the typical man or woman. Throughout the Sexton's fairytale children are treated much differently than the typical child is treated. All of the adults in the story treat children as though they are property.

.... all college kids in the other story. The students in “ Dead Poets Society” go to school and live on campus. In “Day of the Last Rock Fight” they go to school eight class periods and come home. The similarities are both schools are all boys. Both of the schools have a conflict and could see girls when they didn't have school. The deaths in the two stories also differ.

.... riddle when no one else could. This puts him at a higher level than everyone else, where Oedipus believes that he is almost godlike. “When the hellcat the Sphinx was performing here, what help were you to these people?…Your birds- what help were they? Or the gods…” Oedipus says to Teiresias, the prophet (pg. 21). He believes that neither the prophets nor the gods could help the town with the Sphinx’s riddle, but that he was more intelligent, and was able to solve the problem on his own. This gave him more self confidence than he could handle and an overpowering ego. It is this vanity in his own ability to succ .....

.... a person that was watching from a distance. It was not one of the warriors, for they ran off. Perhaps it was just a commoner that wants to see what is being done for his own safety. This story was passed by mouth for close to five hundred years. Told to warriors right before they went out to battle. The story teller would have possibly sang this story so that it could be remembered. Because of this there is a certain flow to the piece, not any rhyming, but there is a general flow. The first sign of alliteration occurs on the first line of the piece extracted from the story. "Then the dangerous dragon…" It goes on to emphasize the burdening problem .....

.... distribution of birth control to the less fortunate, therefore increasing the worlds population not to mention lowering the worlds poverty line. But they don’t... and the fact that he convinced the whole United States that they needed to waste time and money on nuclear weapons in space to fight the communists. The Soviets were just as stupid, I mean having this stupid competition with the U.S. for who could build the biggest bomb? How immature is that? Can you believe they want to put this morons face on Mount Rushmore to be remembered as a great president? This has got to be a joke. I mean Reagan, their fearless leader, also catered to the paranoia factor th .....

.... found myself in a dark place void of any light. I spent very little time in this manner. The dark place was soon illuminated by two men with fire sticks, that gave white light in stead of yellow." "These men that shone their fire sticks at me were dressed strangely; all in blue. They spoke in an unfamiliar tong and shoved myself into what I could only describe at the time as a horseless chariot." "After many days there slow minds concluded that I was a stranger in this land, and sent me to this house with many other young men my age." (Timé Pasá) "Many moons have passed. Over this time I was taught their language and concepts .....

.... he tells to her. “Hold then, go home, be merry” (Act 4, sc i, ll 89), he tells her, while he gives her the poison and plans to give Romeo a message describing the plan. He doesn’t however, make sure Romeo gets the message which is probably the most crucial human action in the play. The other example of human actions controlling the plot is Juliet. In those scenes she acts in ways which seriously affect her life and the rest of the play. First, she comes to the Friar looking for help. “I long to die, if what thou speak’st speak not of remedy” (Act 4, sc i, ll 66-67) is her attitude towards her situation.
