Character Comparison

Hallie and Codi are very similar characters and share many of the same traits as characters, much of this is due to them being sisters, but even after they are no longer together they still exhibit many similar actions. Both Hallie and Codi are caring and show this in many of their actions throughout their lives described in the novel. Hallie shows here care by going down to Nicaragua and helping the people there plant their crops so that they will have enough food to eat and live. Codi shows here care by moving to Grace so that she can help here father, and she also ends up being in a relationship with Loyd where she shows care too. They also have differences between them like Codi being secretive and Hallie being adventurous. Hallie shows her being adventurous by traveling down to Nicaragua like I already mentioned. Codi is secretive when she hid the fact that she had a stillbirth when she was 15 and tried to keep it a secret by burying the baby in the middle of the night. Hallie and Codi were always talked about as extremely similar and almost one person because they were so close to each other and not very different at all. An example of this is when tey would sleep together, Doc Homer would always say how they looked like one person and would never have been able to know that they were two separate people, only their mother would have been able to.

Very well written, Adjectives are very specific. Writer has included details upon both similarities and differences.
