comparison

In the late eighteenth century, there were two particularly detailed writings that depict life aboard a slave ship. ?The Slave Ship Zong? and the ?Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano? can compare in that they both show the horrors of being on these ships and they tell the truth about the horrible treatment of the slaves in the hands of their captors. In ?The Slave Ship Zong? the writer talks about how packed the ships are and how the slaves had less room that they would have in a coffin. Equiano saw it this way, too. He wrote that they had barely any room to move and with the heat, it gave the feel of being suffocated.

George Basaly September 30, 2010 Mrs. Rochford Period 7 A Collection of Essays by George Orwell Speaker: The speaker of this book is the author himself, George Orwell. As well as writing novels, he wrote many essays, and decided to publish a select few of them into a single book. He recollects many important events that he has witnessed, and reflects and analyzes them through his pen. Ever since he was a child, his dream was to always be a writer. I know that he is the voice of his essays because in one particular one, ?Such, Such Were the Joys?? he writes, ?I base these generalizations on what I can recall of my own childhood outlook,? because he wrote his essays based on his personal experiences, in this case, he recalls his childhood sweetheart, Elise.

First things first, what would you prefer I call you: George Gordon or Lord Byron? Byron (me): Definitely, Lord Byron. I feel I have earned the title. Ziggy: Alright, that?s totally cool dude. So, let?s talk about your parents, Jack Byron and Catherine Gordon. Me: Well, my mother was a descendent of an old Scottish noble family. I will always appreciate that she spoke her mind and would not tolerate my father?s irresponsibility. His motives weren?t exactly pure when he married my mother. He was only interested in her finances. As soon as

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the second novel in the Harry Potter series written by J. K. Rowling. The plot follows Harry's second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, during which a series of messages on the walls on the school's corridors warn that the "Chamber of Secrets" has been opened and that the "heir of Slytherin" will kill all pupils who do not come from all-magical families. These threats are followed by attacks which leave residents of the school "petrified" (that is, frozen). Throughout the year, Harry and his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger investigate the attacks, and Harry is confronted by Lord Voldemort, who is attempting to regain full power.
