character compare

The two characters i chose to compare are codi and hallie. Even thought they are sisters and are very close, they are still quite different. codi is often depressed and never feels at home where as hallie can feel at home anywhere. i think what really made them so different is the fact that she lost her mother first and then later when she was a teenager, she lost her baby; while hallie has never lost anything like that before. codi feels that she needs to keep moving because the place where she does not feel like her home and she thinks the next place she moves to may feel like home to her. hallie is an extremely giving and sympathetic person; examples of this are her trip to nicaragua that she isnt gettin paid for and her letting refugees stay in their home because they were homeless at the time. hallie is also more independent than codi. codi has insomnia and thinks she needs someone next to her to be able to get to sleep, and says it feels weird being on her own and that she does not like it. loyd also gives us a good idea of what is wrong with codi when he talks to her about how she is going around looking for life when she should not be looking for it but just living it. Codi also thinks she knows what her problem is when she says the difference between her and hallie is a matter of ground orientation. Loyd seems to want to help codi feel at home but im not sure he can cause i havent finished the book
