1. Compare And Contrast
In Brother Grimm's "Godfather Death," and John Updike's "A&P," we see many similarities and many differences. Both authors know how to intrigue the mind of the reader by introducing different plots, setting, characters, theme, and points of views throughout the story.
First I shall start off talking about the plots, characters, and setting of each story. There are multiple plots that take place in both stories. In "Godfather Death," one of many plots that took place was when a poor man could not afford to raise his thirteenth child and therefore he looks for a godfather to take the responsibilities and finally selects Death because Death promises the poor man to make the child rich and famous. He chose death because, the poor man had to work day and night just to give them bread (Grimm's 8). It was basically because of poverty that he had made the decision. He also chose Death because death treats everyone equally. He takes from the rich and the poor (Grimm's 9). The next plot takes place when the child grows up, and Death shows him the secret of the herb. The godson indeed uses the herb to become a rich and famous doctor, but Death only allows the godson to use the herb with his permission. Death fulfilled his promise to the poor man because he had already made the young man into a famous doctor. The next plot was when the king became ill. When Death gave his godson the herb, he quoted, " when you are called to a patient, I will always appear to you. If I stand next to the sick person's head, you may speak boldly that you will make him healthy again. But beware of using the herb against my will, or it will turn out badly for you" (Grimm's 9). Now when the king became ill, Death appeared at the sick man's feet, which meant he had to die. The doctor thought to himself that since he is my godfather he would forgive me. The doctor therefore, turned the bed so that Death was standing beside the king's head and gave the king some of the herb and saved him.
