Comparing and Contrasting the Lessons Characters Learn

Let's Think about Dyamonde and Opal

both new kid in town
both live with just one parent
both missing someone

Now Let's Notice How These Two Main Characters Finally Resolve Things

We know that when a character resolves what's most troubling him, he comes away from it having learned a lesson. Let's think, are there similarities? Are there differences?

Hold your thinking about that scene with Dyamonde in your mind for a moment.

On the next slide, listen as I read a part where Opal says good-bye to her mother. As I read, do a little comparing. Has Dyamonde learned a similar lesson? Do you see differences too?

Open Ended

How are those two scenes different?

Type response here

You might have noticed these similarities..

both girls say good-bye to someone they love
both girls say goodbye by talking to an important object
each girl talks about something new in her life

You might have noticed these differences...

Opal's mom is probably never going to come back--which makes her good-bye in many ways feel sadder than Dyamonde's good-bye to Alisha
Dyamonde can still see her friend
Dyamonde knows where her friend is, she just won't see her often
