Compare and Contarst Essay

In the story of “Young Woodman Brown” we all know that at some point of the story he was dreaming everything he was experiencing. Also in the poem of “ A Dream within a Dream” it talked about how everything they see or do was a dream. I’ll be explaining some similarities and differences. Well we all know that not every story has the same author tone or wording, but there’s times where the stories come into a similarity with a frase or action that a character do ,that takes you back to a previous story that we’ve read before. Honestly, I was surprised by how both the story and the poem have similarities but also their differences.


For example, in the story of “Young Woodman Brown” by Hawthrone’s it talked about how it’s main character Brown, experienced many weird and surprising things through out the story based on a dream he had when he fell to sleep in the forest. In this story the author was really good at explaining to us with details everything about the dream he had. The author told us how Brown came across a man in the woods who we all know was the devil, since he was an evil man. Brown got fooled by the man and ended up losing his faith. There’s many more things through out the story that the author was really good at explaining with details that was all a dream. A part that surprised me was when Young woodman woke up, and he was already old with children and grandchildren. At the end of the story he dies and that’s when we knew that everything that happened in the story was nothing more than just a dream.


In addition to the poem “ A Dream within a Dream” it also talks about how everything that was happening was nothing more than just a dream. Everything that the person sees or experiences is just a Dream. When I read the poem it caught my attention on how good the author did at explaining everything that was going on in a just something that’s was based on just a Dream. For example in this part “In a visón, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a Dream within a Dream” it explained how everything was based on a Dream.


In a way the tone was something that both the story and the poem had different. In Young Woodman’s the tone of the story was mysterious and curious. Since the author  did really good at explaining the things that were going on in the story that left us hanging on parts wanting to know what was going to happen next. In comparison to the poem the author talked things calmly. Through out the poem he was just explaining us how it was all a Dream.


Overall, both the story and the poem had its similarities and differences, which are good because imagen everything being the same in tones, expression, this world would be boring and there wouldn’t be anything interesting to learn about or read. In my opinion I really liked how both authors were really good at explaining every line to us.
