Compare and Contrast
Every day there are thousands of compare and contrasting activities, events and even conversations. We as humans obviously do this as obvious examples like comparing types off food, or clothes, or subliminally like acting a certain way in front of the opposite sex to be a suitable mate. The compare and contrasting can be seen in animals too, not just humans. Animals like male birds try to build nests for female birds to be picked as mates, and then the female birds compare the nests to see which nest will be the best for her eggs.
Conversations are the biggest form of compare and contrasting and the most easily recognizable form too. A big part of the conversations are when people compare their senses like when people compare how well books are written or emotions that they felt while reading a certain part of the story. Another great way to see how people compare and contrast is with movies, television shows, and commercials. The hardest part of many of these compares and contrast examples is to find the subliminal examples of compare and contrast. With commercials it is a bit easier to find subliminal messages, especially if you watch them repeatedly over a period of time, or if they are looked at from a far back neutral point of view. His can be done with Old Spice body wash and Secret deodorant.
The first commercial is an Old Spice commercial starring an Afro-American man with a body type that is between healthy and athletic, leaning more towards athletic. This is to help appeal to the buyers that if men were to buy the product for themselves or women for their men, then they could smell as good as the actor looks. He is standing in a pearl colored bathroom with the shower running in the background, which is supposed to help sooth people from the sound of running water. The actor is alone with no shirt on and a towel wrapped around his waist so as to help show off his muscular upper body and have more sex appeal.

    Both Sonja Tanner’s “On Plato’s Cave” and Margaret Atwood’s “The Writer’s Responsibility” focus on the juxtaposition between the real and the imagined; A, however, suggests that it is, in fact, society’s ignorance and willingness to ignore the relationship between the real and the imagined that leads to the writer’s responsibility to make the relationship clear, while T highlights that the relationship is strained and obscured and that the responsibility is on the individual to forge the connections between the real and the imagined.…

    The baker in “A Small Good Thing” by Raymond Carver caught my attention from the beginning of the story. He was abrupt with Ann, but it felt like there were reasons that would be explained soon why he was this way. The initial impression I got from him wasn’t likeable but as I got further into the story, there was a spark of compassion in this man that I could relate to. The bakers harassing tendencies and social isolation as a person are not traits I exhibit, where as his strong sense of compassion and emotion is where I can relate more to.…

    When comparing and contrasting the poem “What It's Like to Be a Black Girl” by Patricia Smith with the short story “Country Lovers” By Nadine Gordimer. The character in “What It's Like to Be a Black Girl” is based more upon recent time while “Country Lovers” is based in a older time frame. However, both stories are uniquely about wanting to be loved. The poem and the short story are both great examples of the difficulty of life between two different ethnic backgrounds. While one concentrates more on tragedy the other is faced more with acceptance that leads to tragedy. Love although can't be explained, has many explanations to how one can love. Whether your love goes as deep as loving through tragic times or looking for someone to love you at all times. Both of these stories focus on issues of racism, inner struggles, slavery, prejudice, and the pursuit of freedom as well as equality. At the end, everyone wants and needs to be accepted and will do whatever it takes.…

    The most interesting short stories that caught my undivided attention were: “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and “Jealous Husband Returns in Form of Parrot” by Robert Olen Butler. These stories were both fascinating and intriguing in the sense that they made me feel like if I was the actual character. You could feel the pain and anguish the characters felt, even the desperation. It got to a point that I felt pity for the protagonist whom in both stories where narrating. Here we can see how someone can feel so desperate that they think the only way out is by taking their lives. Both Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Robert Olen Butler created an incredible form of fiction that makes you question if the scenes in the stories can truly happen in reality.…
