These two stories, although written by two different authors present similarities in the characteristics of the main character. Sammy and Tommy are presented with adversity they had previously never faced. Sammy has to decide should he stand up for the girls by quitting and be the hero or should he mind his own business and keep his job. Sammy is forced to quickly make a decision which his boss Lengel feels he made to rashly. “’I don’t think you know what you’re saying,’ Lengel said” (Updike, pg. 146). For Sammy his decision is what he feels he needs to do and he never regrets his choice. Tommy is faced with adversity of a different kind, he has to decide should he believe the teacher and listen to what she is saying or should he, like the other children, think she is strange and a liar.

These two stories show how fear can cause the bond of friendship and community or hatred which resulted in alienation. The two character, Lee Strunk and Dave Jenson, show how a mans reaction to fear can affect him. In the story "Enemies," Jenson slowly begins to isolate himself as a way to keep away from Strunk.

In "Friends," Jenson and Strunk take deal with fear in a more positive way.
However, their other details don’t exactly align as well as the message. For example, the surface of the stories are very different. The obvious storylines of the two stories differ greatly from each other. Additionally, the characters have their “life changing experience”s in different ways. In “Raymond’s Run”, Squeaky learns to accept Gretchen when she finishes the race at the end of the story. At this point in the story, she and Gretchen share “this big smile of respect between [them]”. Squeaky’s barriers have been broken by this new girl. Differently, in “The Good Deed”, Heather's alteration in behaviour happens at the end. After Heather had (technically) broken in, Risa comes back home to tell her real story, not the augmented one that Heather had crafted.
