Compare the signal man by Charles Dickens and if she bends, she :: English Literature

Comp ar the signal man by Charles Dickens and if she change form, shebreaks by lavatory GordonIntroduction============In my essay I intend to compare the similarities and differences ofmany aspects of 2 short stories. The signal man a pre 20th vitamin C falsehood by Charles Dickens and If she bends she breaks a post 20thcentury fable. By John Gordon.They are naturally different because of their age. The signal man ispre20th century and is typical of the style of story from that era. Ifshe bends she breaks is post 20th century so it has more modern wordsand is aimed at a younger audience.The stories themselves are similar in that they are both macarbreghost stories.Titles------The deed to every story gives the first impression and can give cluesas to what the topic of the story is or what will happen.The signalman is a plain boring title thay does not make people wish to readit.If she bends she breaks on the other hand is an unusual title , itis mysterious and makes you want to r ead on. But a beloved title does notnecessarily mean a good story. I found the signal man was a muchbetter short story where as if she bends she breaks seemed a bettertitle but it is aimed at young children, is a pretty boring story andthe plot is easy to pick up, early in the story. The signal man is aboring title but it lets you know what the story is about withoutgiving away the plot. If she bends she breaks is a very interstingtitle and you only know what it heart and soul when youve read the story so itis very effective.But if she bends has an unusual title, it makes you want to read it,and only when you read it do you find out what, if she bends shebreakss mean.if she bends title, was very good, the story was not as good, incontrast it was the opposite for the signal man, it had a plaintitle, but a good story.Beginings and settings----------------------The beginning of the signal man, creates an atmoshpere of thesupernatural by, its settings.The settings in the signal man, a re descibe by dickens as very dark, cave man, and dismal place, his post was in as solitary and dismalplace, meaing that the signal was all alone, in a very dark, andboring place, which is a typical setting for a ghost storyHe discribes it as being a great dungeon dark, cold, scary, andhorrible this gives the reader the sense of pain and torture.
