Connections and Pictures

I don't have much to compare Great Expectations by Charles Dickens too. I think that To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is similar but also very different. Both of the novels are about growing up and coming of age.In Great Expectations Pip has a grows up living with his sister that raises he "by hand"; and Scout grows up in a more loving and caring house-hold. But Scout grows up in a racial period  Both Pip and Scout face challenges.

 Dickens and Lee have very different writing styles. Dickens gives many details to characters that are being introduced. Dickens uses animals to compare some of his characters in Great Expectations. Dickens also refers to the other novels that he has written. On the other hand Lee's writing style is different than Dickens. Lee's TKAM is more based on racial times. No author can be compared to close to Dickens because of his every original writing style.

These two novels are the similar as well. Both based on young children that are growing up. Both Pip and Scout want their life's to be different. Pip want to become a gentlemen. Scouts everything to be fixed between the people in Maycomb.

In TKAM scout doesn't like Boo's House.
In Great Expectations Pip say that he doesn't want to go home but then he doesn't want to leave once he gets there.
