My daughter Myla Jane and her cousin Braelyn Jade are different in appearance and attitudes, yet are the same in the things that they enjoy and their daily routine of everyday life. When you look at the two girls, you can’t tell by their looks that they would be anything alike. Although they are a lot different in looks, they do share similarities. When seeing these girls at a back-to-back view, the only things that you would find to be similar are their enjoyment of the same things and their routine they follow throughout the day.
Putting my daughter Myla and my niece Braelyn side by side, you wouldn’t be able to tell that they are cousins. Myla is long, measures thirty inches long. Braelyn is short, only reaching twenty-seven inches long. Myla is also very lean without an inch of fat on her body, other than one roll on each leg. Brae Brae on the other hand, is the total opposite when it comes to fluffy rolls on the legs. She has so many rolls that I couldn’t count them if I had to. She has cankles and you can barely see her wrists when you look for them. If this doesn’t seem to be enough of a difference in them, their hair adds to it. Myla has short, thick, blonde hair. Braelyn has long, thin, brown hair. That is one of the first things people say when they are around both babies at the same time.
Aside from the clear appearance, another way that the girls differentiate is their
attitudes. The attitudes that they have are more night and day than the way that

they look. One baby is constantly showing curiosity and an attitude and the other baby shows a low amount of curiosity and has no attitude at all. My daughter Myla is constantly into something or searching something over. She shows a huge amount of curiosity with everything that she does. As Braelyn doesn’t show as much curiosity, she can look at the same thing all day long and not be curious about anything else that surrounds her. Their attitudes are one hundred percent different too. Myla is a hothead and gets mad when you do anything that she doesn’t like. She actually gets out of control when it comes to getting mad about small things. Braelyn would just look at you with her sad face and go on with her day, as Myla would be throwing a fit on the floor. Myla shows more of an outgoing crazy personality. Always wanting to be walking around, or going places she knows she shouldn’t be going. Braelyn is more of a laid back, calm baby. I can set Braelyn in the floor and she will not cry, but play with the toys that are out for her. If I were to set Myla on the floor, she would be walking all around and show her true personality by babbling loud or sneaking things to Braelyn to play with. They do not share any characteristics when it comes to attitude or curiosity. They may not be the same in looks, or even have the same attitude, but Myla and Braelyn share the same enjoyment from life. They are two peas in a pod when it comes to their daily likes and routines. They share love for the same exact things, and even share the times that they do these things. I believe it is because they spend everyday together, since we live catty corner from them and they come over everyday from around ten in the morning and leave around four at night. Whenever my boyfriend and my brother Traye, Braelyn’s dad get home from work, they usually go home. We spend mostly the whole day with them and you can for sure tell this by their routine. Every morning the girls get up to start their day at around the same time. We all get together and the girls play all day long, with each other and with their toys. They watch their all time favorite show, “MickeyMouse Clubhouse” together as they play with the toys. They would watch this show all day long if you would let them. They might love their show, but they love their mamma’s lovin even more. Both my daughter, and her cousin would pick being cuddled and talked to over almost anything during the day. This might be different if their dads were home during the day, since they love their cuddles so dearly too. But, they will both sit and cuddle their mothers at the same time everyday for the same amount of time, then its time to get down and play some more. They are so alike during the day that they will pretty much give each other, “the look” when its time to go down for a nap. One won’t go to sleep until the others eyes start to shut. They are so alike when it comes to waking up also. When one wakes up, I swear a radar goes off in the others head to wake up and get back to taking on the day. Nap times start and end on point with those two. This is similar to when they want to eat. If one gets hungry, the other is automatically hungry. Although they most likely aren’t hungry, they think that they are and that every meal should be shared between them. They eat the same foods and eat at the same times. In their wishes, everything in their daily routine has to be the exact same when they are around each other, everyday. My daughter Myla Jane and my niece Braelyn Jade could not look anymore different when set next to each other.
The two cousins are pretty much a black and white sheep from their looks, but when their daily lives and likes are put into perspective, they do have similarities. From their different looks, to their similar love for certain TV shows, they can be compared in several ways, similar and different. They show so much love that the differences in their looks don’t even stick out much to me
anymore.
Christopher McCandless and Adam Shepard both did some similar targets in their lives, at the end it lead them to unexpected situations. Christopher McCandless was a young man who didn't believe in society and he chose to get away from that and left everything he had, including his family. He developed important relationships with key people that helped him on his journey into the wild. Similarly Adam Shepard was a young man who left with only $25 and a sleeping bag to go prove his point that the american dream does exist and to see if he can achieve it in a couple of months. Overall comparing McCandless and Shepard, Christopher McCandless had a greater impact in people, motivated many, and was selfish in plenty of good ways.
Two people could be living two very different lifestyles, yet they could be very similar in the way they act and react in the same situation. Charlotte from “The Metaphor” by Budge Wilson and the Mother character from “Borders” by Thomas King live very different lives but the way they deal with the problems they are faced with is very similar. Both protagonists have to deal with trying to be forced to be something they are not by society and their families, but Charlotte from “The Metaphor” has been challenged by her strenuous home, she must face her organized mother and orderly home; the Mother from “Borders” must stand up for what she believes in and fight for what she wants.
Even though they are brother and sister and grew up together, they are two people with
The differences and similarities between the traditional version of the Epic Beowulf and the modern version, Beowulf and Grendel, makes passages for characters such as Grendel to be changed due to the time frame in between the film and the epic.There are several characters that stood out from the film, as they are portrayed in the epic as something completely different than in the movie. Grendel is one of the few that stood out the most.
It is true that identical twins have many similarities, but people tend to ignore their differences. The Jim twins, for example, may
For example Kate and Kat were similar as their both independent and intelligent individuals who go by their own morals and don't care what anyone else thinks of them. Bianca in both texts is seen as the object of desire' as of her submissive manner and good looks. I used similarities like these ones all throughout 10 things' with only making minor changes.
Some people think that if they could only change one aspect of their lives, it would be perfect. They do not realize that anything that is changed could come with unintended consequences. “The Monkey’s Paw” by W.W. Jacobs and “The Third Wish” by Joan Aiken both illustrate this theme. They demonstrate this by granting the main character three wishes, but with each wish that is granted, brings undesirable consequences. The main idea of this essay is to compare and contrast “The Monkey’s Paw” and “The Third Wish.” Although the “The Monkey’s Paw” and “The Third Wish” are both fantasies and have similar themes, they have different main characters, wishes, and resolutions.
In “The Red Convertible” by Louise Erdrich the two main characters Lyman and Henry are brothers that have an amazing relationship with one another. In the beginning of the story Erdrich writes about how Lyman and Henry bought a gorgeous red convertible; and together they went on plenty of road trips and bonded over the car. On the other hand, the two siblings in Alice Walker’s “Everyday Use” don’t have that same sibling bond. The siblings in “Everyday Use”, Maggie and Dee, are complete opposites. Dee is extremely vain, snobbish, and outspoken while Maggie is coy, insecure, and timid. Although Maggie and Dee aren’t as close as Lyman and Henry, they still have a very complex relationship in terms of being “close” to one another even though it seems as if they’re from two different planets. In the stories “Everyday Use” and “The Red Convertible”, the characters share one particular trait which is
The theme of power being abused is carried out in both I Only Came to Use the Phone and Lord of the Flies. The reasoning as to why we would see this theme as the base for both stories is because it is such a common theme; it is known that everyone craves power because of the self-satisfaction they gain from it. The authors of these stories realizing that, used the theme of abuse of power to create chaos within the story and create interest, and they did this by having their characters go after something that makes themselves feel powerful. In Lord of the Flies it was the powerful feeling of hunting for the boys, and in I Only Came to Use the Phone it was the power that the Matron had over Maria by sexually harassing her. Although those two examples seem as though it is people who abuse power it goes beyond that; as if the evil within everyone is awaken by power and that evil is what succumbs them to abuse the power.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is a tragic comedy by Tom Stoppard, which focuses on the adventures of two minor characters from Shakespeare’s famous play Hamlet. The Rover also known as The Banish'd Cavaliers, is a romantic or restoration comedy by Aphra Behn, about a rakish naval captain, who falls in love with a young woman, who plans on marrying him. Although both these plays are comedies, there are significant differences in the theme, style, setting, and the whole feel they give an audience.
Roses are red, violets are blue, Snow White has changed, everything’s new. This is a different beginning than the original story of Little Snow White by the Grimm Brothers and retold by the director Rupert Sanders, in the movie Snow White and the Huntsman. The original story portrays Snow White as a beautiful, but naive, young woman, leading up to her eating a poisoned apple from the evil queen. The evil queen has been jealous of Snow White after she has grown up and become more beautiful. Although in both the story and the movie, Snow White eats a poisoned apple, Snow White in Snow White and the Huntsman is portrayed as more brave and courageous, even after she wakes up from the poisoned apple. In the end, both the story and the movie show that Snow White’s triumphs out rules all, no matter what is thrown at her, but the difference is in how. While there are many common motifs across the story and the movie; Gender roles have changed over time, as shown in the
One thing that made them completely different was their physical appearance. I know that sounds stupid because, that’s what makes everyone different, but with these two, they’re completely opposite when it came to looks. Kelly is my present girlfriend; she’s around, five feet, five inches tall, with golden blonde hair. She‘s a cheerleader, so she‘s really physically fit, with the biggest blue eye’s I’ve ever seen.
I mean with the main girl, let’s say Lila’s her name , godz, we could be twins, except my ears don’t point in the slightest and I don’t have green eyes, but that’s besides the point. In mind, we are practically one in the same. We both are extremely determined and rebellious at times and quite curious all the time. We also both hold a love for animals that is almost second to nothing else. And we’re both tremendously loyal to most of our family. Now, she can mindspeak which I can’t, and she also has magic abilities, which of course I don’t, and I’m real, and she’s not, but you get the point. In essence we are related I guess is what I’m saying.
Indefatigable is the only the word I can think of to describe my best friend and sister, Anna Ripley. Growing up on a dirt road in the woods, with your nearest neighbors being cousins you develop a pretty strong sense of the importance of family. One year me and my sister decided to go for a walk, three hours later it so happened we ended up in Parrsboro; 5 minutes away from buying ice cream because it was a scorching temperature of 30 degrees Celsius. We didn’t walk back home, instead opting for a drive from our grandmother, who conveniently lived in town. All and all I went home very sunburned and tired but Anna could have done it again, she does not get worn-out easily. Now I’m not saying Ann is more ambitious than me, just a little more determined and athletically inclined, like the time where she learned to ride a bike before me, while I was inside laying on the couch. My sister and I are like polar opposites, but still we have many common likes; all the while being completely different from each other.
It is true that identical twins who are raised together have many things in common,
