Comperative Analysis of Indian Camp and Just Like That

Comparative analysis of “Indian Camp” and “Just Like That”

Even though the two stories are very different from each other, we still see some similarity things when we talk about the characters. In both stories we see two boys that are getting pushed in a direction they do not want to. This is making them do things they never wanted to do.

The different is just that in “Indian camp” the father realizes what he has done, and in “Just like that” the man could not care less about the poor boy. The characters in the stories have a lot of different sites, but the development there is happening to the boys are a lot like. And the two men have their own idea of how they want the boys to be.

In “Just like that” we do not know there relationship to each other, and it is a lot easier to be mean to someone you do not know that well, but that is just my
