What Are The Similarities Between Things Fall Apart And Home

Decent Essays
The word compare is defined as “to represent as similar” according to Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary. People say that a comparison should come from something that is interrelated with eath other, such as two different models of a phone, fruits, or even as far as people. Although this claim neccessarily isn’t wrong, this statement is falsified when it comes to literature. The book “Things Fall Apart” and the movie “Home” were works of literature that had vastly different settings and plots however, through both directly and indirectly, they were both able to be compared a fair amount.

    I believe comparison is like human nature because we as humans like to compete against each other and conform in order to "fit in" and at the same time be better than everyone else. I would compare my level of English and reading comprehension skills to others' because Chinese is my "first language."

And because of that, I have to work twice as hard and it will take me twice as longer to write papers. I know that I shouldn't compare myself to others because "letting go of comparison is not a to do list item" (Brown 97) that can be checked off easily.…
