Compare And Contrast Chris And Davo

Chris and Davo have similar ideals with obvious differences in their reasoning and conclusions. The two stories were much the same in their ideas and aspirations with obvious differences scattered throughout the film and short story. Their dreams came about by factors that affected their lives, leading to their intentions for their future and their lifestyle. They each then had a method of action and a way of carrying out their dream which lead to incidents that affected them. Finally both of the character’s dreams came to an end in completely different ways, yet still held a similar concept for their ending.

The two character’s begin their story with ambitions that share common interests and also differences. Davo’s objective for his future

However it is at this point in their stories where they take different turns. Christopher follows through with his plan in travelling to Alaska alone, however he faces many issues such as the lack of food supplies resulting in his excessive weight loss. The issue that finally ended his story was his mistake in eating the wrong berries, efficiently poisoning him which lead to his death. Davo does not face such a devastating fate, he does however return to his small town and deals with the situation. He, unlike Christopher, chooses to return to reality and face his issues as he chooses (not to get into all of that stuff). The two characters do share a common ending, however, in relation to them coming to face reality. In the moment that Christopher is forced to remain in Alaska he begins to feel the heavy burden of loneliness and no longer feels the joy of being so independent. In his moments of death it is almost as though he regrets no being able to return home to his family. Davo, in a similar way to Chris, faces his issue of being alone when leaving to progress his dream. Davo and Biggie stumble across a women whom Biggie gets along with. Davo from that moment on, begins to feel the loss of his dependence on Biggie and the troubled reality that he will not have Biggie forever. The two characters both come to realise, in different ways, that their dreams are unrealistic

Both of the characters begin with common intentions, however they were not identical due to their backgrounds. The advance Chris and Davo both take to leaving the place in which they don’t belong is common, as they then split off on their own path. Their endings simply rely on how each character follows their ambitions and risk everything for the sake of an attempt at happiness, however both stories each end in their own
