Comparison between Codi and Homero

Two characters that I think are similar are Codi and Homero. They are more similar then different in my opinion. Codi and Homero are both forgetful, Codi seems to forget just as much as Homero does but Homero’s forgetfulness is more likely due to dementia then Codi’s. They are also both troubled. Codi is troubled because she is trying to find a place where she belongs and trying to find herself. Homero is troubled because he keeps having flashbacks to when Codi and Hallie were growing up and sometimes can’t remember what is the past and what is the present. One of the differences in Homero and Codi is that Codi likes to travel and live other places where Homero has stayed in one place for most of his life. Homero seems to be stricter then Codi since he was so insistent on Hallie and Codi wearing the orthopedic shoes throughout their childhood and adolescence. Codi and Homero are both stubborn. An example for Codi is not telling anyone that she is pregnant; she really could have hurt herself or the baby, even though the baby was a miscarriage. Homero is stubborn because he didn’t tell Codi that he knew that she was pregnant and he also won’t consider retiring from work even though he is going senile. They are both smart and scientific because they both went to and graduated medical school. Homero continued and became a certified doctor where Codi walked out on a patent that was having trouble with their baby. I think Homero is a Loner because he insists that he should live alone even while going senile. Homero is very reserved; he likes to be home and did not share a lot with Codi or Hallie as they were growing up and even as they are adults. I think Codi is reserved because she does not like sharing her feelings with others and has kept her miscarriage a secret for most of her life.

A Book I Have Read Recently..

Something I recently read outside of class is the “Twilight” series by Stephenie Meyer. The series is about a teenage girl, Bella, who moves to Washington to live with her dad. On her first day at her new school she meets Edward who seems to have a problem with Bella. Later Bella finds out that Edward is a Vampire. They fall in love and are inseparable after a few mishaps. Throughout the series Bella and Edward go through tough times and trouble with hiding the secret that Edward and his family are vampires. I loved the books and I think that the author knew how to draw the reader into reading the story and make you feel as if you were right there with Bella and Edward. Following their story of forbidden love made for an exciting and suspenseful journey that left readers wanting to know more. The contrast between the main characters’ characteristics of weakness and strength also added a true to life grip on the story.
