Comparing 2 Characters

The two characters in Animal Dreams that I am going to describe are Codi and Emelina. An adjective that describes Emelina is a homely person, she has lived in Grace since she graduated high school and has gotten married and started a family of her own. A adjective that describes Codi is dependent, Codi still feels like she does not belong anywhere and has not gotten married or a had a real job yet. She is in the process of finding where she belongs and where "home" is. Busy is another adjective that describes Emelina, she always has her hands full with all her kids. Codi on the other hand has time to just pick up and move and start a new job when she feels she needs to. Codi is also secretive, she never really talked to her dad about her miscarriage and she never told Loyd about it either. Another adjective to describe Codi is educated, although she did not finish med school, she still has been to a lot of college. I do not remember the book saying that Emelina ever went to college, that in some sense she is the opposite of Codi in that area. Emelina is ordinary, she lives in a small town with her kids and her husband, nothing really out of the blue. Differently Codi seems like somewhat of an outcast, she is very tall and in high school she did not really have that many close friends. So there are many ways in which Codi and Emelina are very different, yet they still are friends.
