Rodger and Auden Compare and Contrast


Author's Note: This is my compare and contrast piece, I thought I did well on this. In the list I compare Auden from Along for the Ride and Rodger from Thank you Ma'am. Hope you enjoy and tell me what you think. 

-mature and school driven-16
-family always at home
- no childhood
-no social life
 
-parents fighting or no one to watch her
- both deserve a better childhood
 
-wild and frail-14-15
-Nobody at home to feed him
- dirty face, un-brushed hair
- stealing and un trustworthy
- other friends that roam the streets
 
Rodger/ lifestyle                                      Same                                        Auden
















Obviously Auden and Rodger are not the same, they have a lot of differences but they had one big similarity that they can really relate too. Auden is a school driven girl that had to deal with her parents fighting when she was little. Because her parents fought she just kept to herself and busied herself with school work, she had no social life as well. Rodger on the other hand was the total opposite and he had a social life he was always hanging out with people, although he didn’t have a parent figure to tell him the rights and wrongs. In the story it says that Rodger stole from a lady and she asked if he just roams the streets and he said yes. The biggest thing that they have in common is both of them deserve a better childhood. Auden with no social life and always doing school work and then Rodger roaming the streets of New York and steeling from others. Having a childhood is important it gives you time to be mature and enjoy life unlike the book the Outsiders were the Greasers have to grow up fast and work so they can eat and have shelter.
