Compare and Contrast Essay: Siblings
Most siblings have a lot of things in common, like face, hair style, and color skin. However, my sister and I are very different from each other. Although we were born as twins, we still differ in many ways. Once people get to know us they realize that we are very different in personalities and hobbies. I have often wondered how we ended up so different. As twins, we have many similarities in our appearances. My sister and I both normal size, and have the same height. Furthermore, we both have brown hair, brown eyes, and same face structure. Our round faces are almost identical. We also wear the same sizes in clothes because of our same figure. Our tiny hands and chubby feet look exactly alike. Moreover, our styles of fashion are also similar, including baggy t-shirts, shorts, and flip flops. This similar appearance was a problem growing up, because we would steal each others’ clothes. But we use our same style in fashion to our advantage; we both always have each other to go shopping with. When the two of us are talking our voices come out sounding the same. People are sometimes confused on what twin is talking. If the both of us had our backs turned to you there would be no way in telling which one was who. One main thing we share together is each other friendship. I can go to my sister with anything. She is my best friend. She also feels the same about our friendship. Even though most of our appearances are similar, our personalities are completely opposite. My sister is a very hyper person, but I’m a calm and laid-back person. I like to have everything planned out and organized. While my sister never plans anything and just goes with the flow. She is very selfish and rarely puts others before herself. She is a very social person and loves to talk; however, I have never been a talkative person and I like to keep to myself. I’m not a very picky person and don’t care if I don’t get my way; however, my sister always has to have her way. She is always

    I have a sister with whom I share a very close bond. However, we have similar values about life and other things….which it seems like at this point in their lives, Simone and Devon do not. Perhaps if I was to get a luxurious job or Holly was, and I saw her values change (suddenly caring about soap brands)….yeah, I think for certain I would feel as nonplussed as Devon does.…

    Identical twins have the same DNA; however, they may not look exactly identical to one another because of environmental factors such as womb position and life experiences after being born. Our family joke about one of our twin’s stitches for a lacerated upper lip was that he wanted to distinguish himself from his identical twin brother! In addition to life’s bumps, bruises, and differing hairstyles, a child’s DNA is constantly adapting to that child’s experiences. Different stretches of one’s DNA can turn on or off in response to environmental…

    The interplay between ages in Clay is similar to that in The Sisters because of the mentor/mentee type relationship between the older and younger generations. In The Sisters, the narrator is a young boy who frequently visited Father Flynn (a priest) to hang out until Father Flynn passed away. Father Flynn and the narrator spent a lot of time together, so much time that the narrator’s family members began to suspect ill behavior on part of Father Flynn because they felt the relationship between the two was “unhealthy”. The narrator doesn’t confirm or deny the allegations but he later admits to feeling uncomfortable around Father Flynn. This is the main difference between this motif in both stories because in Clay, Maria and Joe grow up and…

    There is a line from a great movie, Forrest Gump, that many who watch, never forget. "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get.” I am pretty much positive when I say that this is how my mom felt 17 years ago when the doctor told her she was having twins. My life has been a series of matching clothes, the same hairstyle and the words “I will have what she is having.” Despite basically being a carbon copy, being a twin is one of the best things life has given me.…

    What makes you unique? What makes you so special, so memorable? But what would happen if you were a twin? In pop culture, being a unique individual is celebrated unless you are a twin. Twins are expected to dress alike, think alike, talk alike, and maybe even finish each other’s sentences. However, many twins try to move away from how the society views them: identical. Therefore, twins have a much harder time finding their own identity. This is the case for twin brothers George and John. Although they are identified as twins, the brothers have made efforts to distinguish themselves from one another. George watches the world through cloudy, hollow eyes that sink into his skull. He keeps his thinning, grey eyebrows scrunched above his eyes, resulting…
