“Two Entertaining Love Stories”
By Maia Butcher
I am going to write about two amazing love stories I read. I will compare and contrast, “Drama”, by Raina Telgemeier and “Big Nate”s Greatest Hits”, by Lincoln Peirce.
There are some similarities in these two great stories. Both stories take place in school and both stories involve people liking each other. In both stories, the main characters Nate and Callie like two different people. In both stories, their crushes have things in common with the main character. Callie and her crushes all liked Drama club. Nate and Angie both like to draw and both attend summer school.
Although both stories have a lot in common, there are specific differences. First of all, in “Drama”, there is a boy who is gay and his twin brother is not. In “Big Nate”, Nate likes a girl named Penny for 3 years but then forgets about Penny and moves on to a new girl named Angie. Another big difference is that in “Drama”, the main character is a girl named Callie. In “Big Nate”, the main character is a boy named Nate. In “Drama”, Callie, never dates the two boys she has a crush on. In the end they become good friends. In “Big Nate”, Nate dates one of his crushes named Angie and forgets about Penny. Nate met Angie in summer school.
In conclusion, both stories were very emotional to read. I enjoyed “Drama”, the most because I really liked the personalities of the characters.
