Two Fictional Characters

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the similarities and differences between the characters of Lisa Simpson and Scout Finch. The author states that the key similarities are their strong personalities and their positive father-daughter relationship. The differences are the structures and personalities of the two families. The author feels that these differences are related to the way the characters are constructed and their overall roles in their respective creative compositions.

From the Paper:

"Among other surface commonalties, both are young girls of roughly similar ages. Both have older brothers, and sometimes get into conflicts with them. Additionally, both Lisa and Scout are very intelligent girls who are reluctant to accept the traditional female role. In terms of external environment, both characters live in relatively small towns (although Springfield, where Lisa lives, is larger) in which their personality in many respects is both influenced and defined by the other inhabitants."
