Johnny tremain, Ishi, and Across the universe




The movie Across the Universe, and the books Ishi, and Johnny Tremain have a lot of similarities. All three involve a war; Vietnam war, World war II, and revolutionary war. The books Ishi, and Johnny Tremain, apparently lived during the 1800's. All three face a problem that involves moving out of their homes. Ishi's tribe gets massacred and the few that survived have to hide. Johnny Tremain burns his hand and is no good where he is at and has to live out on the streets. Across the universe, the characters Jude and Lucy go off to New york city to find jobs. The movie and books have young characters that face troubles in their lives. I thought Across the Universe was pointless to watch and a waste of time. Ishi and Johnny Tremain were educational and fascinating to read.
