Essay Instructions: Compare and Contrast the Theme of Death in ?The Dead? and Snow Country

James Joyce?s ?The Dead? and Yasunari Kawabata?s Snow Country, write an essay in which you compare and contrast the way the two stories, or authors, use death as one of the important themes. You should consider the topic before you read either story so that you can pay attention to how the subject of death is used throughout both works. Obviously in both cases death is a natural part of the story, but both authors use a theme of death to help relate aspects of their other themes, perhaps most importantly the love theme. Explain to the best of your ability what both authors try to achieve?expect to achieve?try to communicate in their use of a theme of death.

Essay Instructions: This essay needs to be a compare and contrast paper between Snow Country by Yasunari Kawabata and The Stranger by Albert Camus. The essay needs to start with comparison and then lead into contrast. The comparison needs to be the strength of the essay. As well the comparison cannot be thematic it needs to
be specific or example "food is symbolic" in both books. It cannot be "power corrupts" that would not work. As well the essay can be anywhere between 1000 and 1500 words so you do not need to keep it to strictly 1200.
