Codi and Hallie

Codi and Hallie
In the book animal dreams Codi and Hallie two good sisters who are unique and similar at the same time. Codi is dependent on Hallie to help her with her troubles in life. For example when she was writing to Hallie, Codi asked her for help on how to teach her class. Codi could be said that she is secretive too. Why would we say so? Well, when she got pregnant she kept it to herself for many years. Now, Hallie is different than Codi. How so? In contrast with Codi she goes out of her way to help people. That’s why she went to Nicaragua to help the people there with agriculture. In doing this, she also, shows that she is an independent person. She doesn’t rely on anyone to help her, yet Codi relies on her to help her. At the same time she is prettier than Codi. How do we know that? At the beginning of the book Codi told us that boys used her to get to Hallie. At this, we know that Hallie is prettier than Codi. There are, though, some similarities between Codi and Hallie. They are both tall, different heights but still tall. They both like to travel too. Because, Codi has traveled to Minnesota, Crete and Tucson, before she goes back to Grace. And Hallie traveled all the way to Nicaragua. Another, similarity is: they are both intelligent. Codi is intelligent because she is a biology teacher. And, Hallie went to Nicaragua to teach the people about agriculture. In the end, these 2 characters are similar and different in their own unique way.
