Similarities & Differences
The ways we are different is I feel Viola is way too brave to dress as a boy and carry on in the big world and have hope she doesn't get caught. I know I couldn't go threw with it. The second reason is I have never been in such a love twist and I also do not have a twin brother.

Identity
Gender
Perception
In the beginning of She's the Man, everyone sees Viola as a bit weird. Although it is not her fault, she just doesn't know exactly what boys talk about. Her roommates make fun of the way she is but with a little trick of Viola the roommates begin to like Viola and make him as one of the guys. Although it isn't all negative because she also has a girl who has eyes on her/him. But Viola never seems to notice until the end.
Similarities & Differences
The difference between the novel and the movie is in the story Viola is from a modern time with dukes and queens, while in the movie it's a basic time of a teenage girls life. Furthermore, in the movie it has a lot to do with soccer, while in the story it deals with strong men who fight with swords.
Their similarities are few but just enough. They both carry themselves very strong throughout the movie. They both are also madly in love with a man who is in love with another woman. Lastly, they both are disguised as their twin brother.
