A Comparison between ‘Second Wind’ and ‘Alive!’

I strike been working on a piece of frolic called Alive based on the story of a South American team creation stranded in the Andes for days desperately assay to stay alive, living on little rations and hope with the group having more an(prenominal) mixed emotions in the dilemma at hand. I will be comparing this with the novel Second Wind which is a thrilling novel around devil BBC meteorologists wanting to go into the heart of a hurricane in the States only crash on a isolated Caribbean island.The Historic power point of twain pieces is very similar as both be quite present-day(a) being set in the 1970s, we can see that it is very contemporary in Alive through the clothes we wear. save in that location be differences standardised Alive being set in the Andes and Second Wind being set in the Caribbean. Our piece is set over a period of a some months but Second Wind is set over many months, possibly a year or so. The Society in the two pieces is very unlike but do let a few similarities with Alive having young inexperienced youths trying to survive in a desolate mountain range, for example we have the characters that have very different views, mint who want to survive like Antonio and escape the mountains and then in that location are other pessimistic views like Eduardo who think that they are already doomed and there is no hope at all of them surviving, we se this in the scene when the group decide that no one is advent to rescue them and he declares he knew this all along.And in Second Wind we have characters like Michael and Perry who want to escape the Island while assist other people to survive this is very similar to Antonio taking the lead of the group and helping others to survive until help arrives. But like Eduardo Kathy in Second Wind she to thinks that they are all doomed. In Second Wind the characters are split with the meteorologists and the rest of the bunch and the entrepreneurs on the other side.In our piece there is s ome office surrounded by within the group but they manage to stick in concert and get rescued. There are many similarities in the style of both pieces, firstly the most obvious is the calamity of being wrecked in an abandoned place where no one ever visiting means less chance of survival. Both pieces show naturalism within them as both pieces reflect the effect on a deserted island or mountain range, as in Alive there is lots feelings of upset hope, but in Second Wind there is a lot becalm watching we can see this as lots of times we have Perry thinking back to when he was young and playing with his grandmother this reflection can in like manner be seen in Alive as there monologues that refer to the thoughts and memories to the stranded victims, this made him happy and forget his dilemma, but he would also come back to realisation.But we must take into key out that Second Wind is a novel so lots of creative techniques like reflection would help the reader feel the effect o f the crash, but in Alive we use sound and lighting effects this helps visualize the piece, also with a dramatic piece you can see the characters and be pinched into them and feel part of the scene. To conclude there are many similarities between the two pieces such as the historic period, a bit of ordering and the style. There is also the huge similar theme of a tragedy due to a plane crash on an unfamiliar place. But there still is the difference on Alive being a dramatic performance and Second Wind a novel so it is tricky to compare.
