The Chocolate War: Comparison Between Book And Movie
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 311.... end of the movie Obie
becomes head of the Vigils and Archie is reduced in rank. Archie get the
marble in the movie but not in the book. There is no music in the book,
but there is in the movie.
I liked the movie better than the book. It was better because

way to end a movie like the Chocolate War. I just feel that movies are
more helpful. And in this case I just feel that it was much better. The
book just lacked many unexplainable qualities, that the movie had. .....

Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 475.... because she cannot have
Demetrius and now it seems that Lysander is mocking her over this very fact.
Hermia is also in terrible pain due to the sudden change of heart seen in her
lover. Demetrius is still seeking Hermia with no hope of success and Lysander
is trapped in the daze of love for a woman that is not his true love. It is
with this feeling of utter helplessness that Shakespeare ends act II.
Although this is one of Shakespeare's comedies, an interesting way to
resolve the story would be to take the traditional tragic approach: everyone
dies. Hermia, caught be .....

He agrees that they must "catch the nearest way" (17), and kill Duncan that night. On the other hand, as the time for murder comes nearer, he begins giving himself reasons not to murder Duncan:
First, as I am his kinsman and his subject,
Strong both against the deed; then, as his host,
Who should against his murderer shut the door,
Not bear the knife myself.

Entertainment: The Limit
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 506.... car factories manufacturing the vehicles used, the persons working in the furniture factories for the furniture used, and the catering service used for the food in the movie. So you can see making movies provides job security and keeps the unemployment line down.
On the other hand some may say that spending this type of money on a movie is insane. The money should be used to help society rather than cause violence (the belief that some movies lead to riots). Instead the money should be used to further research for life threatening diseases or to open a community center. .....

A Midsummer Night's Dream: Humor
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 591.... the meaning correctly. Inferred humor is sometimes more suited for this.
Shakespeare used something like inferred humor to get across some other
meanings that added to the play. One good example is the character of Puck.
Puck is a hyperactive child that gets into a lot of mischief. His attitude
toward his tasks is sort of a light and airy one. He does not take life
seriously, he only does what is fun. This type of character is totally
different than everyone else in the play; they are in a serious tone, while Puck
is just dancing around pulling pranks on eve .....

Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1588.... of the epilogue takes place 25 years after Joan has been
burned. King Charles has a dream in which many of the characters of the
