Did you ever compare and contrast the themes of two stories that you really .
liked? Well, I have compared and contrasted two stories. The two stories that I read .
was called "The Bet" and "A White Heron." I never of thought that two stories could .
have some much similarities and differences. Between the story of the "The Bet" .
and "A White Heron" consisted a lot of similarities and differences.
In these two stories, The first similarity was that they both appreciated life. For .
instance, in the story of "The Bet", at first the lawyer was happy to make the bet. .
But, in the end he realized that life and freedom worth way more than money and .
power. He chose wisdom and hope instead of the two million dollars. In the story .
of "A White Heron", the little girl appreciated natures beauty and creation than money. .
In the story Sylvia saved the white heron's life by not telling the man about the bird. .
The second similarity that they both have is that both gave money for happiness. In the .
story of "The Bet", the lawyer did not take the money because he wouldn't have been .
happy with himself after reading the books and the magazines and understanding the .
true meaning of life. In the story of "A White Heron", the girl gave up money for .
hapiness because the heron's life was way more important than the prize. The third .
reason that both stories have similarities is that, both learned something about .
themselves. In the story of "The Bet", the lawyer learned to appreciate himself by .
being happy that he made the right choice when he reannounced the two million .
dollars. He also found out that he was way smarter than the banker after the fifteen .
years. In the story of "A White Heron", the thing that she learned about herself was .
that she also knew that she made the right choice by not telling the man about the .
white heron. If she would of told the man about the white heron and collected her .
prize, than the life of the white heron would of been over.
