Abstract

This is an educational research paper that compares and contrasts the three books namely; Charlotte’s Web, Manic Magee and The Great Gatsby. The first book Charlotte’s web is considered in American literature as an award-winning novel for children learning is authored by renowned E.B. White, the story is about a young pig whose life is saved by a very intelligent spider known as Charlotte; the first publication of this book was in the year 1952.

The second book is Maniac Magee, which is rated as a young adult novel authored by Jerry Spinelli, this book first saw its publication in the year 1990, the synopsis of the story is about a young lad who finds himself homeless due to the death of his parents, he crosses the ethnicity boundaries in search of a home and becomes a legend, in fictional Pennsylvanian town of two mills, this book is usually studied for scholar studies of racial identity and children readings. The third book, The Great Gatsby which is a novel that is used in high school, American literature and university courses as a standard text, was authored by F. Scott Fitzgerald; this book first saw its publication in the year 1925. The book revolves around the chaos brought about by World War 1, the book is a narration by the character nick that is not much idolized by the unprecedented levels of prosperity, and this makes him very much prickly on unrepressed covetousness and lack of moral judgment that sidelined these happening.

Books Plots

Each book has its synopsis which is very much reflective to different background orient, the first book (Charlotte) which is a children book about the morals of friendship is much contrary, to the last book analyzed by these assignment, The Great Gatsby, which has no moral and there is featured material which have only covetousness, the nature which the friend sin this novel handle their marital affairs, the novel shows how the characters are filled with lust and infidelity on the other friend’s wives. The other book which also has a moral bearing on the concept of ethnicity is also compared to the other book on the struggles that the characters endure. They all underwent through series of difficulties to eventually attain the status they had in mind, though this is not the case with the Great Gatsby, whose main character does not undergo as many hurdles as the other two characters of the other books. The most contrast is on Charlotte’s Web where it is an animated story where the animals kind of relationship with each other verbally as compared to the other two books, this is observed as the nature of the setup is a real-life setup with humans and not animals (White, 1952).

How events are ordered

Every book has a comparison on the way the order of events is arranged, from the bad beginning to a very sound ending, however, all the books have a very sad note in the ending part. All have some factors that make the storyline very sad as all the ending are based on someone being o the losing end, as the Great Gatsby three of the characters loses their lives, in Charlotte’s Web, the character played by the spider (Charlotte) in the final episodes dies after making the pig famous. This is however also observed in the Manic Magee, where the start of the book starts with the death of the main character’s parents. Death has taken a pattern of sympathy in this material either at the start of the book or at the end of the book (Spinelli, 1990). Both the Manic Magee and The Great Gatsby books event are fast-paced and filled with many events that are human-related contrary to Charlotte’s Web book which is very much animated. The other books are laden with human emotions which are also contrary to the animated book.

Conflicts

The conflicts in these books are all kind of related as both revolve around the lives of the characters involved in the books. The only difference is the context of the conflict, In the book Charlotte’s Web, the main conflict is raised when the farmer decides to have the pig (Wilbur) for Christmas dinner, this terrifies the well being of Wilbur, there is also conflict when he is born and the farmer decides to kill him because of the abnormalities that he is born with. In the second book Maniac Magee, the character is at conflict with the ethnic boundaries which he keeps on trespassing, the east which belongs to the black community disowns him and also the west end which belongs to the white dwellers also wants nothing to do with this character, this makes him left out and is always in conflict with the kids of both division. The conflicts in the third book The Great Gatsby are emotional distress and filled with immorality and lustful covetousness, by the characters who are friends to the main character (Spinelli, 1990). The conflict of love affairs between the parties is very real and is observed in nearly all the marriages set up in the books.

The suspense

The suspense is much intensified in the book The Great Gatsby, as the reader is taken through the chapters with anticipation of how these characters are conducting their extramarital affairs openly, openly admitting their lustful feelings to the other parties. The way most of the ladies in the story are married to men they don’t love is the way the authors capitalize to hold the reader’s attention. The best book which has suspense from the beginning to the end is the story of Maniac Magee, the life of these youth revolves around two ethnically diversified communities. The suspense of the book arises when both communities shun these youth from attending their social gathering and their association with their children. The finding from the different homes that this youth frequented also creates suspense, but the most important key to suspense in this tale is the search for a home for the youth as every time he finds a place something disrupts the peace and he is forced to source for another. The story of Wilbur the pig, however, has very little suspense as because it’s a children’s book, the only suspense is in the start and the middle as the farmers attempt to slaughter Wilbur are thwarted by the intelligent Charlotte the spider.

Climaxes and resolutions

All these books have good moral teaching and these are well elevated when the stories reach their climaxes. The authors have structured these books in ways that are enticing and appealing to the readers. The only contrast can be the morals behind each story and its targets as the two major books are for young adults and the other one is directed to elementary studies.

Different ways the characters or themes are depicted for younger and older students

The ways in which the characters are depicted to target the young and old audience is by the moral abstract in every book. The first book is directly authenticated and directed to the younger generation, whereas the other two are directed to the older students with the aim of providing moral understanding and also ethnicity knowledge against racism (Bertrand, 2003). The book Charlotte’s Web offers children the moral obligation of values of friendship and helps them to broaden their respect toward each other. The other two books help the older generation coin ways which would best serve to avoid racism and immorality.

Conclusion

The context of all these books is very rich in literature and the moral well-being of the pursuant. This entire book’s context covers different aspects in our daily lives, when combined they form the best recipe for good morals and virtues to the pursuant.
