Read the story. The Birds by Daphne Du Maurier

WARNING%26lt; WARNING This question has been asked by teachers for years. And If you go to e notes and just copy something down, you are going to get caught. Teachers have seen all the answers students have copied. They delight in red penciling your copied answers.

It is a short story, not hard to read, so read it,then compare it to the birds the movie. In your own words, maybe not so polished as if you copied it, but you will at least get credit for your own work, and you will not get your homeword thrown out because it from someone else.

Both stories have all kinds of birds congregating together, to attack people. the first story by Daphne du Maurier has a man and wife and their child, and all are attacked by all kinds of birds. And The movie The birds is about different characters, A man goes into a shop to buy a present for his sister, and mistakes a woman shopping as a salesclerk, he asks her to help him and she pretends to sell him lovebirds. He takes them home with him. Apparently this sets the birds in motion. Now read the first story by Daphne Du Maurier, and tell about the location of the fireplace in the room. etc.

Reply:No I haven't, and I seriously doubt you'll find many people here who have. I only know the movie (a great movie; watch it if you haven't already) not the story, though I have read stuff by du Maurier.

To write a comparison study includes two words: compare and contrast.

I suggest you get a sheet of paper and a pen and write in two columns elements involved in each work. For example: birds. That is most likely in both, so draw a line connecting them. Then crows, children running, fire, trapped, escape, ravaged town and on like that. When you see something that matches in both works, draw a line to connect them. When you see something original in only one piece, number it.



Then go back and see what can be compared (either favorably or not, depending on presentation), and then see what can be 'contrasted,' or shown to be one-of-a-kind in these works (either favorably or not, depending on presentation).



If you need more help before actually writing your essay, write an outline of the facts you have discovered in the two columns. Be sure to have a beginning, middle and end to your essay. And don't worry... you can do it! Luck.
