Flipped.

Authors Note: I did an Contrast and Compare essay on the Novel Flipped, because it shows a different point of view and I thought it would be good to do an essay on this.

Between me and the novel "Flipped" by Wendelin Van Draanen I visualize that the characters, settings, and actions are all unique in there own special way.  For instance; the characters like to show their own different personalities and take risks, that’s why I think this is such an magnificent novel.

"Flipped" shows an different point of view between a neat, clean, and popular boy named Bryce, and a tomboy, pigtailed, and sassy girl named Juli.  As these very different people communicate by living on the same road, Bryce realizes that Juli is creepy and that she has a major crush on him.

There are many differences between Juli and Bryce.  Juli's idea of fun is catching frogs in the swamp and digging up worms in the dirt, keeping them in her pocket for the night.  On the other hand Bryce enjoys playing catch with his father and reading long novels, mostly involving wizards.  As much as Bryce wants Juli to get off his case, she will not let him be. She insists that they are perfect for each other.  Juli complains to Bryce "we're both fourteen!", and even though they have that in common, he resists o pay attention to her obnoxious acts.

As these characters grow farther apart they realized that it actually wasn’t meant to be. As much as Juli wants Bryce to be her boyfriend, it doesn’t happen.  But the story did show a different point of view between different characters and I enjoyed this Novle a lot.
