OUTLINE:

Introduction:
In essay, New York City and Quetzaltenango, Guatemala are compared and
contrasted. Thesis statement: When you compare them, they seem like
dramatically different places, but they have some things in common, and I
love them both.

Body Paragraph 1:
Topic sentence which focuses on similarities: There are many reasons why
New York seems like my home away from home. similarities between two
cities: Both cities are
- striking and distinctive
- have a nickname and central park

Body Paragraph 2:
Topic sentence which focuses on differences: Despite their similarities,
these cities are different.differences between two cities:
- color
- pace of life

Conclusion:
summary of the similarities and differences
My Two Homes

A. In New York, many people wear black to be stylish, but in Xela

stylish clothing is the rainbow-colored clothing of the indigenous
 people. And because Xela is smaller, the beautiful green mountains
outside the city are always visible.

B. In the evening, my Guatemalan city definitely sleeps. Some younger

people go out dancing and come families take a walk in the city`s
Central Park, but by ten o`clock the streets are pretty deserted.

C. There are two places that have had profound impact in my life. One
of them is New York City, and the other is Quetzaltenango,
Guatemala.

D. For example, each has its own nickname. everyone knows New York is
"the Big Apple." Quetzaltenango is known as "Xela" (pronounced
shey-la), which is a lot easier to say!

E. When you compare them, they seem like dramatically different

places, but they have some things in common, and I love them both.

F. There are many reasons why New York seems like my home away from
home. Both cities are striking and distinctive.

G. At lunch they order food from work and eat their desks. In Xela
people eat their breakfast at home and most come home from work a
much more relaxed and longer lunch.

H. At lunch they order food from work and eat their desks. In Xela
people eat their breakfast at home and most come home from work a
much more relaxed and longer lunch.

I. Second, both cities have a "Central Park" where people like to go

and walk. Furthermore, when you walk around Xela, you find many
tourists and people from other countries, just like in New York.
For me, this means conversations in Xela are just as interesting as
conversations in New York.

J. Despite their similarities, these cities are different. Life in

Xela is more colorful and the pace of life is slower. For this
reason, whenever I return to Xela, it is like an escape. When I
arrive, the first thing I notice is the color.

K. On the other hand, New Yorkers are often in such a hurry, they don`
even stop to eat. For breakfast they buy food on the street, and
eat it while they are walking or on the subway.

L. These places represent the best of both worlds. New York is more
hurried and rushed when I need energy, and Xela gives me a shower
pace when I need to relax. Together they keep me balanced.

M. The second thing I notice is the pace of life. They say New York
never sleeps, and it must be true, because I always see people
walking and cars on the streets, even late at night.

N. In conclusion, these are the two cities I love. For me, both are
home, are unique, and are filled with interesting people.

O. Although Central Park in Xela is smaller, its tropical flowers and

colonial architecture mean it is just as beautiful as New York`s.
CONTRASTIVE LINKERS

Contrastive connectors can be grouped into four grammatrcal classes:

· Sentence connectors (traditionally called sentence adverbs)occur at the
beginmng of a sentence to link one sentence containing a cause with the
effect or result in another one.
* Conjunctions (also known as adverbs and co-ordinate conjunction S) are
those signposts that function withm a single sentence to Imk causes with
effects.
· Subordinators (also known as subordinate conjunctions)usually combme
with full clauses: however, they can also be used with noun phrases when
the main clause has a"human"subject. Subordinators mamly differ from the
other signposts m that they help to move the stress to ideas expressed m
the main clause.
· Prepositions combme with noun phrases and gerunds (-ing)forms to
contrast ideas within the same sentence.

Based on the description above conduct research, experiment using the

words below in sentences, and categorise the following under the four
grammatical classes above

However... But Although...,... In contrast to + noun, Nevertheless... Yet

(even) though...,... Contrary to...,... Nonetheless,... Nor While...,...
Unlike...,... on the other hand... on the contrary... Instead of...,...
Alternatively,... Instead...Albeit Whereas...,... Despite...,...
In contrast,... Inspite of...,... Conversely... Notwithstanding...,...

Work in pairs. Choose any 2 elements of the Dracula Showdown video, 2

films, 2 characters for example, and write a compare and contrast essay
using the linkers above. There is a 250 word limit for this essay. Please
be ready to share it in class.

KEY

CHARACTERS

Renfield is usually included he's only missing from the Turkish hammer
Palance and BBC oh six version the Turkish version has a hunchback
servant with a very phony mustache he's never in an asylum or fits the
character in Nosferatu he was originally named NOK in the - classic
Universal versions Renfield does over time taking over the role of
Jonathan only for the Transylvania scenes

Jonathan Harker is in all across the board in Nosferatu he's called

hunter in the Spanish version he's called Juan in the Turkish version
he's called as me in the hammer and Langella versions he's engaged to
Lucy instead of Mina

Mina is in all them in Nosferatu she's called Ellen but in the English
translation she's Nina in the Spanish version she's Eva in the Turkish
version she's Guzan in the Langella version an Oscar Otto remakes she's
named Lucy even though the role is clearly Mina in the nos Farhat to
remake there's a separate character named Mina who is extremely minor
appearing in one brief talking scene and later as a dead body Lucy
appears in all of them except for both nos ratu's the original Nosferatu
has a character named Ruth who was switched to Lucy for the English
version but she's too minor and not connected to the character in the
Turkish version she's named Sudan and the Langella version has already
stated she switched to Mina

Arthur Holmwood first appeared in the Turkish version named Tehran after
that he was pretty regular appearing in Hammer Franco Palin's Coppola BBC
oh six in the Franko version they call him Quincy even though he's
engaged to Lucy and seems to mostly fit the Arthur role also the original
BBC version as already mentioned combines him with Quincey Morris even
merging their names Quincey Homewood is he more Quincey or more Arthur
it's pretty equal and I can't give two points for one hybrid character so
half a point Quincey Morris the least favorite character apparently BBC
gets the other half point here but Coppola is the only version to have
the real character way to go Coppola

dr. Seward is in most of them he's missing from Palance and Nosferatu
remake and in Hammer he's way too minor it's just a quick walk-on role
and with no Renfield for him to interact with you'd never know it's him
except for the name in Nosferatu he's professor severs in Turkish he's
dr. a thief and in BBC oh six they just call him by his first name John
but you also have Jonathan Harker so why on earth would you call him John

dr. van Helsing is in all of them except the original Nosferatu there's a
minor character named professor Buller for the English version they
changed him to Van Helsing but he does absolutely nothing important

of course he can't have a Dracula film without Dracula so he's always

there I could give away an easy point for all but that makes no
difference either way so let's take a step further which one stays true
to Dracula's physical appearance in the book he's described as an old man
with a moustache well do you see the moustache nope nope nope nope nope
yes nope nope nope nope nope nope a dozen Dracula films and the only one
where Dracula actually looks like Dracula is the Franco version big gold
medal for Franco

CASTLE
Now let's get into the other elements from the book first the castle is
depicted in every film so that's a wash I guess some of them use actual
locations which makes me beg the question why not a single one of them
not even for a quick exterior shot used a famous romanian location like
ponary or bran castle

DE-AGING DRACULA
in the book dracula d ages as he obtains fresh blood he gets younger a
simple make-up effect and nobody wanted to do it except for Franco
Coppola and BBC oh six

DRACULA/BAT
Dracula turns into a bat this happens in all except Nosferatu hammer and
Palance hammer even says explicitly that Dracula changing into a bat is a
common fantasy but everything else that happens is perfectly believable
the Turkish version has the most hilarious bat and Coppola has the most
exaggerated

DRACULA/DOG/WOLF
turns into a wolf or a large dog this happens in Lugosi though it's off
screen with Franco I'm not sure if the dog in the picture is Dracula it's
a random shot that comes out of nowhere and the dog has a collar but they
mentioned Dracula can change into a wolf so it counts in Palance a dog
gets shot down and dies so it can't be Dracula BBC Langella and Coppola
all get a point however Coppola is again is pretty far out there Dracula
can turn into mist Spanish BBC Langella Coppola all get a point simple

DRACULA/WALL CLIMBING
Dracula can climb walls like a lizard first happens in Turkish then BBC
Langella and Coppola done

DRACULA REFLECTION IN MIRROR

Dracula has no reflection in the mirror both universals BBC Langella and
Nosferatu remake and Coppola with Palance I'm really not sure the scene
gives nothing to indicate that Dracula has no reflection

DRACULA/SOIL
every film explains that Dracula can only sleep in his native soil which
I've always wondered wouldn't he be all dirty

CRUCIFIX
Dracula's repelled by a cross or crucifix pretty classic it's in all of
them except Nosferatu and Turkish

GARLIC
Garlic another classic repellent it's used in Turkish hammer pounds BBC
Langella and Coppola Lugosi switches it for Wolfsbane and Spanish has an
unspecified wreath of flowers the word garlic not being used

COMMUNION WAFER/HOST
The sacred wafer used many times in the book but only shows up in three
of the films BBC 77, Nosferatu remake and Coppola

SUNLIGHT
Here's a shocker in the book Dracula's cited outside in the daytime
that's right sunlight does not kill him it only weakens his powers and
Nosferatu there is a shot where he's out in the day which you may think
is a flub or a contradiction to the film's ending where he's killed by
sunlight but it was actually a day for night shot filmed that day but
takes place at night it's not obvious unless you see it with the original
blue color tinting the only films were Dracula is really on the de are
both BBC versions and Coppola in the first BBC Dracula's the coachman but
you don't see him until the end of the scene which ends at night so
assuming he was driving the horses the whole time that would have meant
he was out in the day it's tricky but I think it counts in Langella
Dracula says he can move about in the day but that's only if he stays in
a dark spot the sunlight still kills him

DIFFERENT NARRATORS
a big thing about the book was that it was written with multiple
narrators through journal entries it's kind of like the equivalent of a
modern-day found-footage horror film it gave it a realistic vibe in the
movies it will be simple to have voiceovers with all the characters
hammer begins with Jonathan Harker narrating but he's the only one later
van Helsing is seen speaking into a phonograph but it's not voiceover
even in the BBC O six version Jonathan is the only one who ever narrates
so a big award goes to Coppola for being the only film to honor this very
distinguishable trait of the book

CHRONOLOGY/TIMELINE/TRANSYLVANIA
now let's get into the main plot in rough chronological order first I
have to say it's hard to establish a consistent criteria I'll have to
make a judgment call on a case-by-case basis I say characters and
locations can be changed as long as the event is the same it can also
happen off screen as long as it's explained so first we have Jonathan
Harker travelling the Transylvania each movie acknowledges it in some way
with some liberties the universal versions have Renfield instead the
hammer' version has Harker arriving to destroy Dracula but the one that I
think crosses the line is the Langella version because none of the
traveling takes place Harker never goes to Transylvania he only meets
Dracula at Carfax Abbey after he's already sold it to him so that first
act never happens

SCARED TOWNPEOPLE/SAINT GEORGE'S EVE

the scared townspeople who warn Jonathan not to go to the castle this
happens in every version except Langella and Hammer they warn van Helsing
and in Palance it's very subtle but the cliche is still there it takes
place on st. George's Eve which the townspeople say is when the powers of
evil are strongest it's sort of like Halloween which was formerly known
as Hallows Eve the night before All Hallows day the only films that make
mention of it are Franco and BBC the universal versions change it to
Walpurgis night so if you want to celebrate more holidays like Halloween
there you go

COACHMAN/DRACULA
the coachman who brings Jonathan to the castle is Dracula happens in
Nosferatu the universals Turkish Franco BBC and Coppola with palin's it's
hard to tell but I doubt that's Jack Palance as knows

POWER OF DRACULA WITH WOLVES

the first sign of Dracula's power is when wolves surround the coach and
Dracula gets down and shoes them away it only happens in the franco
version coppola shows us some wolves before dracula arrives but there's
nothing to indicate that he's the one who made them go away

JONATHAN HARKER IN TRANSYLVANIA

I've always wondered why Jonathan has to go all the way to Transylvania
to conduct business with Dracula could they do it by mail well in the
book Dracula says the reason is so he can learn from JA Finn about
English culture it's only made clear in Hammer Franco and BBC in Langella
and Coppola track that says he can't wait to walk the London streets but
still doesn't clarify the education he wants to get from after being
there

CARFAX TRANSACTION
Joplin sells him the property in England it happens in every version
except hammer in most cases the property is Carfax Abbey like in the book
but in the Turkish version Jonathan is a lawyer selling him kiosks in
Istanbul property nevertheless

CREATURES OF THE NIGHT

the wolves howl and Dracula says listen to them children of the night -
what music they make it's in most versions sometimes the line is altered
slightly such as the Langella version where he says what sad music they
make but as we already know the movies all take liberties

THREE FEMALE VAMPIRES

three vampire woman's seduce Jonathan Dracula comes in and shoes them
away it happens in all of them except both Nosferatu 's Langella and BB
co 6 in Turkish and Hammer there's only one girl but the event plays out
just the same
DEAD BABY AS FOOD
Dracula gives the vampire women a baby to feed on this ghastly deed only
happens in Franco BBC and Coppola

DRACULA SLEEPING IN COFFIN

Jonathan discovers Dracula asleep in his coffin this happens in every
version except all three that Universal produced

JONATHAN HARKER A PRISONER

Jonathan learns he's a prisoner in the castle and make several escape
attempts most versions show him trying to get away again keeping in mind
the two classic Universal versions call him Renfield here but after this
point both characters are reinstated to their appropriate roles

DEMETER SHIP
Dracula travels to England aboard a ship called the Demeter and kills
everybody on board most films depict the captain tied to the wheel but
the only ones that ignore the event altogether are Turkish hammer and
Franco

MINA WAITS FOR JONATHAN HARKER

Mina waits for her husband Jonathan to arrive accompanied by her friend
Lucy in both Nosferatu as she waits alone but the idea is the same in
Langella she's not waiting for Jonathan she's talking to van Helsing
about vampire lore so we can scratch that

WHITBY CEMETERY CLIFF STEPS CHURCH AND ABBEY

the book takes place in a cemetery on a cliff overlooking the sea Bram
Stoker based this on an actual location in Whitby and the geography he
describes his spot-on mentioning a nearby church and Abbey a fishing port
and stone steps leading up the cliff it all exists in real life and the
first BBC version gets a big point for filming it at the actual location
the Turkish version doesn't use a cemetery but they find similar steps
and the basic event is acknowledged

RENFIELD IN ASYLUM EATING FLIES OBSERVEDCBY DR. SEWARD

Renfield is observed at the asylum for his odd habits of eating flies
it's meant to be dr. Seward who observes him but in the universals it's
changed to Martin in the Nosferatu remake it's van Helsing and Langella
has Seward in the scene but doesn't directly interact either way in most
of the film's Renfield's in his eylem

LUCY AND SLEEPWALKING

Lucy sleepwalks most of the films portray the scene even though it's
always different as I mentioned many of the film's switch her name with
Mina both Nosferatu s don't even have a Lucy equivalent more or less
combining them the only ones that don't have the sleepwalking are BBC O
six and Langella where she's kind of walking around in a room but uh I
think she's awake at board Dracula preys upon Lucy in the book she
sleepwalks outside up the steps into the cemetery and that's where

LUCY AND DRACULA ENCOUNTER

Dracula sucks her blood most films depict the scene however the details
are always different in both Nosferatu s Dracula is biting Jonathan's
neck in Transylvania while back at home Mina or Lucy or whatever you want
to call her is affected in some kind of telepathic way we can scratch
those Lugosi Spanish Turkish hammer Langella all moved the encounter to
her bedroom while Franco Palin's BBC and Coppola keep it outside BBC oh 6
is the only one that reserves the entire encounter for when Dracula makes
Mina drink his blood leaving no equivalent of the Lucy encounter

LUCY BITE MARKS

Lucy is ill with bite marks on her neck at giving the first clue to the
other characters that something is going on the first Nosferatu is the
only one that ignores it entirely in the universal she's dead immediately
but the important clue is still found the Lugosi version was too uptight
to show you the bite marks while the Spanish version didn't hold back the
Langella version just a reminder is Mina here as is the Nosferatu remake
but he or she doesn't get bidden done till the very end meaning the bite
marks do not serve as a clue

BLOOD TRANSFUSION
Lucy's condition is examined and she's given a blood transfusion
Nosferatu ignores it in the universals she's already dead the rest all
have it but a few minor things to note in Franco its dr. Seward who takes
charge when in the book it's van Helsing Langella I had the debate
because of the name switch and the event happens in a different time in
the story but still I think it counts in BBC oh six it's Seward who does
the transfusion because as I already said Arthur points a gun to him dr.

VAN HELSING AND VAMPIRE LORE

van Helsing educates everybody on vampire lore pretty simple every movie
has it except both Nosferatu 's

DEAD BABY AND LUCY

Lucy now as a vampire preys on young children most of them have it in the
universals it's read in a newspaper in the others it's usually shown as a
young child or infant the Langella version is the only one that actually
has the nerve to depict a dead baby geez we get the idea

VAN HELSING CONFRONTS LUCY THE VAMPIRE

van Helsing confronts the vampire Lucy it happens in more than half the
films typically she's repelled by a cross or crucifix the Turkish version
uses garlic reminder with Langella it's confusing they have an encounter
with both Mina and Lucy separately which gives two possible scenes to
count but the later scene actually has the cross used on the character
named Lucy van Helsing frees Lucy's soul by driving a wooden stake
through her heart both Nosferatu is ignorin with the Lugosi version they
cut all the explanation because back then god forbid you couldn't even
talk about a state going through a heart even though it was in the damn
book so Lucy just disappears from the film they never tell you what
happened with her or why they're standing in front of a cemetery the
Spanish version doesn't mess around it explains what happened without
having to see it the rest are pretty straightforward

LUCY’S MOUTH STUFFED WITH GARLIC

next they stuffed Lucy's mouth with garlic rock on BBC the only one after
that they cut off her head points for Turkish Franco BBC and Coppola

RENFIELD'S RATS MONOLOGUE

Rats rats Renfield's monologue where he describes Dracula's offer all
three Universal versions included the two classics got the whole speech
almost verbatim in the Langella version it's only partly used and is
rushed but it's still there

RENFIELD BEGS TO LEAVE ASYLUM

Renfield begs dr. sewer to let him out of the asylum because he knows if
he stays there something bad will happen to Mina it's in the two
universals BBC and in coppola he only talks to Mina directly what I'm
looking for is not really there

RENFIELD’S DEATH
Dracula kills Renfield pretty simple five of them have it in the two
universals he strangles them and throws him down a staircase in Beebe see
it happens off screen in Langella he twists his head around and in
Coppola he turns to green mist and slams Renfield repeatedly into the
prison bars

DRACULA'S COFFIN END

the heroes locate Dracula's boxes of soil and contaminate them the book
is really big on holy wafers but in the movies the methods they use vary
in turkish they seal garlic under the lids in Franco and Palance it's not
really clear exactly how in BBC its holy wafers like in the book in
coppola it's the works they use holy water they read from a Bible and
they burn the whole place down

COFFIN AND RAT DETAILS

when they're sanctifying the boxes they get creeped out Arthur sees
Dracula's face in the dark and then the whole place comes alive with rats
only Franco BBC and Coppola acknowledged this brief encounter Franco
deviates by having a bunch of taxidermy animals start moving in BBC it's
all in the dialogue and Coppola it shows the rats except it's in a
bedroom instead of Carfax Abbey

MINA DRINKING DRACULA'S BLOOD

Dracula forces Mina to drink his blood beginning her slow transformation
into a vampire it happens in seven of the films in the universals Mina
describes it obviously since it was too gruesome the show the later
versions not only show it but imply Mina is doing it willingly and even
enjoys it in bland Jolla it's Lucy BBC oh six also gives the scene to
Lucy

SHOWDOWN WITH DRACULA

there's a standoff with Dracula where the heroes use crosses and other
things to send them back jumping through a window as you can see most of
the films include the confrontation usually it's a cross but in Turkish I
think it's garlic

MINA AND PSYCHIC LINK END

Mina develops a psychic link to Dracula she's the only one who knows he's
travelling back to Transylvania Palance BBC and Coppola are the only ones
to acknowledge this in Palance and Coppola van Helsing hypnotizes her
like in the book but in BBC he just straight-up asks her either way the
psychic connection is retained

RETURNING TO TRANSYLVANIA
They all follow Dracula to Transylvania half of the films preserve this
final act even though it differs some you'll see it in all the colour
films except Langella Nosferatu remake and BBC oh six

VAN HELSING AND MINA

van Helsing and Mina encountered the three vampire brides outside of
Dracula's castle

CIRCLE OF COMMUNION HOST/WAFERS

Van Helsing creates a protection by making a circle of holy wafers only
in BBC and qapla these two films are really duking it out

DEATH OF VAMPIRE BRIDES

the vampire brides are found sleeping in their coffins in the book it's
van Helsing who hunts them down and Hammer it's Jonathan and Franco it's
Jonathan and Arthur who's named Quincy the rest it's van Helsing in the
book van Helsing stakes them through the heart and cuts their heads off
in only five of the films are the brides killed in Hammer Franco pounced
and BBC it's just the stake in Coppola only the heads are cut off no
steak

GYPSIES AND DRACULA RETURN TO TRANSYLVANIA

Dracula's transported by traveling gypsies Franco BBC and Coppola the
heroes battle the gypsies Franco BBC and Coppola the hero sees Dracula's
coffin Franco BBC and Coppola yet again

DRACULA'S DEATH
now the big one Dracula's death the heroes kill him in every film but are
any of them close enough to the book in the book he's killed by ordinary
knives Jonathan slashes his throat while Quincey stabs his heart well in
nos rot - its sunlight nope in the universals van Helsing drives a wooden
stake through his heart nope and Turkish it's a stake and decapitation
not quite in hammer its sunlight nope in Franco it's fire nope in Palance
van Helsing impales him with a spear with some sunlight for good measure
nope in BBC it's van Helsing with the steak again nope in Langella he's
hung on a ship hook and struck by sunlight nope in the NOS fought to
remake its sunlight again Plus van Helsing stakes an off-screen nope in
Coppola it's knives Jonathan goes for his throat Quincey goes for the
heart Wow somebody finally got it right in BBC oh six it's a stake
through the back nope and in the final shot he's alive again well that
one's sure off the mark with Coppola there are differences in the book
Dracula never gets out of the coffin but in the movie he gets up and
tries to fight back in the book right after the knives he crumbles to
dust immediately but in the movie he and Mina go into the castle to have
one last melodramatic dying scene with all that aside Dracula is killed
by the correct characters with the correct weapons targeting the correct
places on the body it's the only film that comes close enough

QUINCEY'S DEATH
next quincy dies from wounds inflicted from the battle with the gypsies
only in BBC and coppola end at last in the final chapter the rest of the
characters returned to Transylvania years later to pay their respects to
quincy only the BBC version includes this final scene and here's the
final score as you can see the 1977 BBC version comes out on top but the
Coppola version trails very close behind one could argue that there are
other plot points to consider so there is
My Two Homes
There are two places that have had profound impact in my life. One of
them is New York City, and the other is Quetzaltenango, Guatemala. When
you compare them, they seem like dramatically different places, but they
have some things in common, and I love them both.

There are many reasons why New York seems like my home away from home.
Both cities are striking and distinctive. For example, each has its own
nickname. everyone knows New York is "the Big Apple." Quetzaltenango is
known as "Xela" (pronounced shey-la), which is a lot easier to say!
Second, both cities have a "Central Park" where people like to go and
walk. Although Central Park in Xela is smaller, its tropical flowers and
colonial architecture mean it is just as beautiful as New York`s.
Furthermore, when you walk around Xela, you find many tourists and people
from other countries, just like in New York. For me, this means
conversations in Xela are just as interesting as conversations in New
York.

Despite their similarities, these cities are different. Life in Xela is

more colorful and the pace of life is slower. For this reason, whenever I
return to Xela, it is like an escape. When I arrive, the first thing I
notice is the color. In New York, many people wear black to be stylish,
but in Xela stylish clothing is the rainbow-colored clothing of the
indigenous people. And because Xela is smaller, the beautiful green
mountains outside the city are always visible. The second thing I notice
is the pace of life. They say New York never sleeps, and it must be true,
because I always see people walking and cars on the streets, even late at
night. In the evening, my Guatemalan city definitely sleeps. Some younger
people go out dancing and come families take a walk in the city`s Central
Park, but by ten o`clock the streets are pretty deserted. On the other
hand, New Yorkers are often in such a hurry, they don` even stop to eat.
For breakfast they buy food on the street, and eat it while they are
walking or on the subway. At lunch they order food from work and eat
their desks. In Xela people eat their breakfast at home and most come
home from work a much more relaxed and longer lunch.

In conclusion, these are the two cities I love. For me, both are home,
are unique, and are filled with interesting people. These places
represent the best of both worlds. New York is more hurried and rushed
when I need energy, and Xela gives me a shower pace when I need to relax.
Together they keep me balanced.
