Similarities between Hope and Allie

Author’s Note: This essay will show my understanding of comparing two different characters from different books.

You can compare yourself to anyone you want. But how many similar things will you find between yourself and the other person? My guess would be not many. You are your own person and there is only one of you. Even though you might find similar things about the other person I’m sure there will be many more things that are different. So be your own person make the world a special place and be yourself!

When Hope first started writing the journal she was young, maybe 10 years old. You could tell from reading the journal that she was young because of the word choice and how everything was written. But throughout the journal her word choice and grammar increased. You could tell that she was getting older and her point of view was growing different each and every day. In the book the Notebook, Allie one of the main characters also changed her point of view. Her point of view was becoming different not because of her getting older but because a person had made her see things a different way. Maybe that’s why Hope’s point of view changed but I believe that it was mostly because she was getting older, wiser, and more mature.

As Hope got older not only did her word choice and grammar improve her point of view did also. When your little you don’t realize how important things are. So, when Hope’s father went to fight in the war when she was little she didn’t think anything of it. Hope just thought that her father had to go and fight and he would be back in a couple of months. But what she didn’t realize when she was little was that her father could have been killed and never came back. But when her father left for the second time and she was older she realized how things could turn out.

Even though so many people are different you can always find similar and different things about them. For example, Allie from the Notebook is very different from Hope but they also have some things in common with each other. One thing that they have in common is that they both wrote journals. They won’t for the same reason but they both put their thoughts on paper. Other than that this is one of the only things that I found in common with Allie and Hope.

Overall Allie and Hope had many comparisons but also were unique in their own ways. Just like everyone else is. We have many things in common with other people but we are our own special unique people. Your personality is the biggest thing about who you are, so don’t be shy about it let it burst out! Just like Allie and Hope did.
