The Remade "No Guts, No Glory"


Authors Note: this is my comparison essay about how the books “ Program for Destruction”, and “ Sarah Bishop” Have in common and don’t have in common.
The Bloody Revolutionary war, a place where you are always in stress. The jacked car factory, where people are worried about what the sabotage person will do next. Do you see the resemblance between the two? The Books “Program for Destruction”, and “Sarah Bishop”, are very alike even though they are from two entirely different eras.

            In the novels, they both deal a lot in strategy. In “Program for destruction”, that is the only way that the hardy boys (detectives) would figure out who planned out all of the traps. While they are doing that, people are secretly trying to kill them. With ether a big steel beam falling from three stories and landing 1 foot away from the detectives or the dangerous factory’s lights turn off while the machine is still running. In “Sarah Bishop”, strategy is the only way that they could win the war. The red coats had at least five times as more soldiers than the Americans. But somehow, the Americans dominated at the end. It was like “The Miracle on Ice” all over again, but war theme.

            Both of the books had somewhat similar conflicts. Something bad went totally wrong and they wanted to get to the end of it. Sarah’s whole family got killed from the revolutionary war and she went on a journey to find her brother in the army. In the other case the hardy boys are called into a car company because somebody is ruining their company, so the hardy’s try to put a stop to it as soon as possible, so that nobody would get hurt in any way.

            The main difference in the two books is the time period. The revolutionary war was in the 1770’s area while the car company’s era was in 2010. Also, the boys do not use any weapon of any choice. They only use themselves, unlike Sarah, where everyone is desperate for the most weapons.

            So after hearing about these books, do you like your life even more? As you see, these amazing novels have a lot in common, and they aren’t that far away from reality. The rev. war certainly could have gone the way they told it, and someone could certainly do bad things to factories. The main thing is that they are great reads.

  1. What an amazing improvement from the original, Andrew! There could be more details from the stories for each similarity and difference, but really nice organization overall!
