Peeta Vs Gale Comparison

The character in Of Mice and Men that is most similar to Tom Buchanan in The Great Gatsby is Curley. Curley and Tom Buchanan have many similarities throughout both books. These shared characteristics stem from one thing both men have an abundance of: privilege. Curley and Tom are easily two characters with the least amount of struggle in The Great Gatsby and Of Mice and Men.

The last similarity between both main characters is that the two both have family and friends that they love, and would sacrifice their lives for. Katniss risked her life for Prim when she volunteered in place of her for the Hunger Games (Collins 22-23). Katniss has feelings for Peeta and cares for him when he is injured. Jonas learns to love, and loves Gabe, and protects him from being released. What is also interesting to note is that both characters have a younger sister, and parents they cannot be truly loved by. Both characters care deeply for and want to protect people they are

First I’ll talk about Peeta and Katniss’s feelings for each other. Katniss never knew Peeta, they weren’t even neighbors, and they never talked to each other. For sure Peeta wanted to talk to her but he was to nervous to speak. Since he had a big crush on her ever since he laid eyes on her. Unlike Katniss, she had intention talking to him. Until that one day he gave her a half loaf of bread when it was raining. Otherwise, him getting smacked in the face by his mother, before throwing the loaf of bread into the road.

Doe Zantamata once says, “Differences and similarities are equally as easy to see, it mostly depends on which ones you are seeking to find.” In The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton two of the main characters, Johnny Cade and Dallas Winston or Dally, have many similarities and many differences. Johnny and Dally both have bad and abusive parents, and they think of the gang like their family. The differences are, Johnny is not a fighter and does not enjoy fighting like Dally does. Johnny dies a hero and Dally dies a violent hoodlum. If Johnny and Dally are exactly the same or very different, the story would be very different and a lot of key parts in the story would not be the same and as meaningful.

After Katniss steps up as the female representative for district 12, Peeta gets called next. Katniss observes "The shock of the moment is registering on his face, you can see his struggle to remain emotionless, but his blue eyes show the alarm I've seen so often in prey," (Collins 25-26). Again Judith Butler insists that gender is an imitation of an ideal, expectations clearly state that males are not suppose to be emotional but Peeta broke down and started crying in front of everybody which made him seem like a punk. Peeta is a complex character because in the beginning Peeta challenges gender roles, but towards the end during the hunger games he starts to uphold them.

All heroes come from different backgrounds. In Suzanna Collin’s book The Hunger Games, Peeta is raised in District 12, which specialized in mining. Peeta is a baker’s son. Peeta is stocky build and has a medium height. When Peeta was a child, he saw Katniss Everdeen for the first time at school. He immediately had a crush on her. Peeta has many different skills. Thehungergames.wikia.com states that Peeta has five main skills: baking, painting, speaking, camouflage and strength. Since Peeta is the son of a baker, he is very fond of baking. That is where his painting abilities came from. Peeta would help his parents decorate cakes and other pastries. Peeta, also, has great speaking skills. He can always get people to like him and make them feel at ease. He is good at using nature around him to camouflage him. One time in the

In the novel To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, they were both kids. They were both immature children, they both taunted Boo Radley, they both interpreted things similarly and they both eventually "came of age". Yet they were both different; one was innocent and one was narcissistic and more. In To Kill A Mockingbird, Jem and Scout are two very similar and different characters throughout the entire novel. They show both common and differentiating traits that determine their character. The traits that these characters had in common were they both thought similarly when a situation arose especially when they were at a younger age, they both started out as immature kids and obsessed over childish things like Boo Radley, and they both eventually "came of age". The traits they differed in were that Scout throughout the whole novel was an innocent character even in her "coming of age" while Jem was a narcissistic one, Scout went against what her family/town wanted her to be (a lady) while Jem tried more and more to be like Atticus and lastly Scout never understood racism while Jem showed he somewhat did understand it. These two main characters are similar like brother and sister and different like boy and girl.

The Hunger Games written by Suzanne Collins delineates that there are times when people believe that all hope is lost but only those who are strong will persevere through their darkest moments. Suzanne Collins portrays the theme throughout the novel with the main protagonist, Katniss Everdeen, as she struggles to endure her daily life and the annual Hunger Games. Collins displays the prodigious amount of persistence of Katniss Everdeen and her comrade, Peeta Mellark, which allows them to survive throughout the Hunger Games.

Tom Buchanan and Jordan Baker exhibit similar character traits. Tom is a very powerful character, with a lack of moral qualms. He is arrogant, and extremely hypocritical which becomes apparent when he learns of Daisy’s extramarital affair with Gatsby. He instantly disapproves of Daisy’s wrongdoings,

     After studying the short stories of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “Young Goodman Brown” and Willa Cather’s “Paul’s Case”, I began to see many similarities within the two stories. Both of the main characters in each story have characteristics that could be looked at as being alike, but after analyzing each character I started to find that although alike in some aspects, these two characters are very different from one another. At first I noticed that both Goodman Brown and Paul are starved for attention, but in different ways. Next, I see that each character has issues with their past and are both trying desperately to overcome them. Finally, I found that each character’s main goal in

Scout explains how differently she and Aunt Alexandra see the world. Scout is way younger, but has a more mature understanding of people than Aunt Alexandra.

To kill A Mockingbird and The Diary of Anne Frank both address a young girls journey to maturity amidst a society prone to prejudice and racism. If someone was to compare the views, actions and environment that Anne Frank had grown admits, to that of Scout Finch, it would be very unlikely to find many differences. Growing up, Anne and felt isolated from society. Despite, the racism and prejudice environment they grew up in, both had hopes that the future would change for the better. Although, Anne and Scout were physically and emotionally similar, Anne matured while Scout didn’t through their journeys in the novel.

Although Jay Gatsby and Tom Buchanan differ in the characteristics and personality; the way they were raised and societal pressures led both men to commit and be guilty of immoral actions.

similarities and differences that make them unique. Some similarities Max and Kevin has is that they

There are other ways in which the stereotypical gender traits and roles are swapped for Katniss and Peeta. In the first film, Peeta admits that even his mother sees Katniss as stronger than he is. Peeta's camo gifts come from his experience with cake decorating, and he plays forager in the arena while she goes in search of meat. He's emotional and expressive while she's sullen and closed off — "I'm not good at 'saying something,'" she tells him in The Hunger Games at the start of what she understands to be a pretend romance, but which he believes is real. He's the more fragile one, getting seriously wounded by one of the Careers in the first film, and almost dying again in the second, courtesy of an encounter with a force field.
