CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME SOME POINTS ON COMPARING THE FOLLOWING ; INSIDE I'M DANCING AND LIES OF SILENCE

THANKS IN ADVANCE

PJelly

Uhh, thats quite a general question. I'll just rattle some off that spring to mind..

Inside I'm Dancing
-Carrigmór (or however its spelt) is ominous, foreboding, oppressive. Even the name shows this "Big rock"
-Patients are infantilised
-Michael and Rory are repressed through ignorance (which contrasts with how many miles to babylon in our case, repressed Alec in the army through brutality)
-Religion plays no role in it
-Michael is the only one to break free of his Cultural Context and survive (in the case of our texts anyway)
-Neither (Michael and Rory) have particularly strong bonds with their father
-No relationship with mother.
-All the power figures are female. (Siobhán, the women in Carrigmór... etc)
-Class does not play a role

Lies Of Silence
-Class plays a role
-Religion plays a big role
-Michael tries to break free of his Cultural Context of belfast, but dies in the process.
-Basically all the power figures are men (You can link this with the IRA's attitude to women)
-Michael doesn't really have a relationship with his father
-Michael's actions are restricted through fear

Thats all I can think of on the spot.
