Character Comparison!
Book #1: Woods Runner Book #2: Brian's Winter
My focus on this comparison is Brian and Samuel
They are alike because Brian started to like being in the woods and became quite fond of it and Samuel likes the woods too because he feels free and comfortable in there. They are not alike because Brian gave up and thought he would never get back to his parents after waiting continuously, while Samuel was looking far and wide putting himself in danger to find his parents
