Mattie is a lot similar to Lisa in terms of age and history. They both either have parents dead or away from

them, they both are on a journey to keep themselves alive. Another I got in common they have is confidence,

they both have faith in themselves. They won't give up and likely never will, its determination if anything at

all, they have the will to keep going. Though that's all great for them, there are some differences between her

and Lisa. One of the only people Mattie had was Nell and Grandfather until she found Eliza. Lisa had many

people on her side, Todd being one of those many. Lisa practically had an entire army that had tagged along

with her, Mattie went it alone a lot of times. Mattie almost had zero help, her mother was sick, Grandfather

was getting worse, and Nell had nowhere else to go. Eliza changed that a bit along with Joseph and Mother

Smith. Mattie was lucky she had anybody to be there for her at all, if there's anything to be said about it.

Lisa has a lot ahead of her that's good. She has a crew to support her, food to keep her from starvation, water

to drink, and lives to save. But both of them had a good ending when it was all said and done.
