1. Choose two of the characters in the book that you are reading and compare how they are similar and contrast how they are different.
  Lyra:A terrible childhood with too many professors in Jordan College,Oxford.She never see her parents and nobody take care of her,so it makes her become a naughty,underbred girl.But she will save the whole world...
  Lord Asriel:Lyra's uncle,a man who treats Lyra very bad,always with a serious face,he is an ambitious,unfeeling person,crazy about the scientific research and exploring.
they have the similar character,the feeling they give me is both they solve problems are very different with others or their behavior are very strange.However,they love to find new things from the world,they both like exploring.
2. Why did you choose these two people?Are you similar to either one of them?How are you similar?How are you different?
Because I want to be an active people,I think Lyra is.She seems energetic everyday,always find some crafty ideas to make fun with those professors and she know what is correct and incorrect.Her uncle Lord Asriel is a serious man,but he is very ambitious and dispassionate.
I think I'm energetic and I want to be a sober man,so I choose them.
