Comparing and Contrasting Relationships Instructions
Friends are the family we choose for ourselves. ~
Edna Buchanan, Journalist and Crime Novelist
Now that you have read about the relationship between Huck Finn and Jim in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, think about some of the other close, family-like relationships you know of from novels, short stories, plays, movies, television, or even comic books. For this paper you will write a 5-paragraph essay that compares and contrasts Huck Finn and Jim and their story with that of your choice of characters from an outside source. For example, you could compare Huck and Jim with any of the following:
Daniel and Betty from the television series Ugly Betty
Scout and Jem from Harper Lee’s novel To Kill a Mockingbird
Hank and Evan from the television series Royal Pains
The choice is yours. Any set of fictional characters (not just the examples listed above) will be acceptable as long as your choice allows you to accomplish the tasks listed below.
Complete the following tasks to write your 5-paragraph essay:
Paragraph 1: Introduce both Jim and Huck and the second set of fictional characters you have selected. Be sure to tell your reader where all of these characters (both Twain’s and the ones you have chosen) come from and who created them. In your thesis, make a claim about how similar or different each set of characters is. The remainder of your essay will support this thesis.
Paragraph 2: Compare and contrast both Huck Finn’s and Jim’s individual personalities and their relationship to each other with the personalities and relationship of the other fictional characters you have chosen. Create an analogy that shows how the two sets of siblings are or are not similar to each other.
Paragraph 3: Identify the most important plot elements (such as point of view, setting, theme, and figurative language, for example) that shape these characters’ personalities and relationships, and point to at least one specific example for each set of fictional characters.
Paragraph 4: Evaluate how the plot elements you identified in paragraph 3 shape the plot as it progresses, and how the shape of the plot shapes the development and relationship of each pair.
Paragraph 5: Conclude by leaving your reader with some parting thoughts about what we can learn from the characters you have examined and why such characters matter to us. Do we have to actually have relationships to take away something important from reading about their experiences? Why or why not?
