Efie and Colina are half-sisters. The girls were born to Fenella, a strikingly beautiful woman. Fenella was married to Wallace, Laird of Inverness and the father of Efie. He fell ill one day and withered in a week due to a mysterious disease. The Lair was soon succeeded by Derek, Wallace’s younger brother. Love blossomed between Fenella and Derek, something which did not come as a surprise to the members of the clan. Soon their union bore Fenella another daughter whom she named Colina. But 3 years after Colina’s birth, Derek was plagued with the same illness Wallace suffered from and passed away.
Efie and Colina could pass up for twins although some differences are quite apparent. Efie was vibrant and cheerful. Her hair flows down to her shoulders and shimmers like gold under the sun. Her brown eyes speak of the naughty secrets she keeps but would not think twice about divulging them to anyone who cares enough to know. Colina, on the other hand, was always quiet, unsure and shy. But what she lacks for in self-expression is more than made up for by her astounding beauty. Colina’s hair was dark red, almost mahogany and her eyes were gentle green. She was younger than Efie by 5 years, and as it is with younger sisters, Colina tries extra hard to emulate Efie.
The sibling rivalry which now exists between the sisters was mainly due to how Fenella has treated them. Anyone could see how Fenella favors Efie over Colina. Fenella feels that Efie has become more and more like her

In Fahrenheit 451, Clarisse McClellan, is a seventeen year old girl who lives next door to Guy Montag. Clarisse met Montag when she was walking down the street, she looked at him surprised. Clarisse's appearance is mentioned as curious, because she is called as white. “..Her face was slender and milk-white, and in it was a kind of gentle hunger that touched over everything with tireless curiosity..”, “Her dress was white and it whispered”. (Bradbury 02) By comparing from the book, Clarisse can be someone who won’t “fit in” the book. She is more than a seventeen year old girl, she is filled with ideas and questions.

The Youngers were strong and faithful, continuously trying to make their dreams become reality.

Beneatha, one of the main characters, had the American dream of becoming a doctor, which is affected by her individualism, determination, and expressiveness.

I was really excited when people told me there was romance, action, and adventure because they’re my favorite genres. But, I was disappointed when I read the first page. It’s 3rd person limited. I thought it would be a little harder to connect with the characters. However, as I kept rereading some lines and questioning the characters, it became easier for me to understand them. For example, Katsa, the main character of Graceling, written by Kristin Cashmore, musters up her courage to defy Randa because she could no longer tolerate him even though she was afraid to imagine what would happen next. Randa wanted others to fear him and to do that, he had Katsa torture people who didn’t listen to his orders. According to Susan Fisk, “empathy for another’s happiness and suffering depends fundamentally on recognizing that the other has a mind-that is, the same capacities for thought, emotion, desire, intention, and self-awareness as ourselves. I empathize with Bitterblue as she is strong facing hardships throughout the book.

Additionally, in a general sense, the common rivalry between siblings is also often manifested in physical violence. In fact, one contemporary study collaborates the motivation sibling rivalry before reporting that 82 percent of all families with more than one child reported that siblings had carried out some form of physical violence amongst themselves (Newman 120). This is portrayed in a specific sense in the play in Act II, scene I, wherein the cruel Katherine has bound Bianca's hands and is questioning her about the suitor she favors in Baptista's home. There, when Bianca promises Katherine that she will plead Katherine's case to Hortensio, Katherine surmises that Biance likes Gremio. However, when Biance laughs at Katherine's idea, as in so many contemporary families, the older sister hits her sibling.

Throughout history, across all cultures, people have been fascinated with twins. In addition to interest in the close emotional ties and biological similarities that twins may share, reports of special twin languages and twin extrasensory perception (ESP) help people to explore ideas of what it means to be human. How similar or different are they to each other? How important are genes and environment for development? Because identical twins share all of their genes, it is the environment—rather than genetics—that accounts for any differences between them.
