Compare and Contrast

Compare
The story little Cog-burt and Cotton Candy have many similarities. There are some obvious similarities and other not so obvious. The obvious being both stories took place in the Caribbean. Another analogy that was more in detail was the fact that one of the main characters Little Cog-burt and the main character Lola in Cotton Candy both show unconditional love toward a non human things. For example Little Cog-burt falls for the doll that was placed on top of the Christmas tree.  While Lola falls for the a butter fly. Which she was naming after her ex-relationships. Also both characters were very picky on what they wanted. All of Lola's boyfriends names started with the letter D. While Little Cog-burt also was very picky where he did not appreciate the gift that was given to him like the other kids. A similarity that relates to the country the stories are from is that both countries were colonized at one point.


Contrast 
The main difference between these two stories is that in Little Cog-burt one of the main characters does get what he desires the most which were the doll that he loved so deeply and cried in front of his mother and his "Master." While in Cotton Candy as much as Lola thought about it and asked for it she never got what she truly wanted which was a partner. Also the island Cuba and Dominica are very different from each other because Cuba was colonized from the Spaniards and Dominica by Dutch.
