    It seems like everything he does in the story he is also thinking about his parents. This story is very realistic because everyday lots of children are being mistreated by their parents and are ending up to be the same way as Cole. I think the author of this book wants us to think about that and realise that the situation Cole is in is an actual thing, and not just some made up idea. This is one of the reasons why I am enjoying this book so much. This book makes you think about the actions Cole is making and is sometimes unpredictable what Cole is about to do.I think later on in the book Cole will realize the mistake he made by burning all of his materials they supplied for him and now he will have to try to make a new shelter and put a lot more work into trying to survive then he would if he would have just kept the supplies he received. In conclusion so far I would recommend this book to almost anyone. I think almost anyone would have a good time reading this book this book is realistic, it is action packed, makes you think all the time about what is going to take place next and most importantly it is an interesting book that makes you actually want to read it and not make you so bored that you space off, so I

    One similarity would be comparing the actions of the Sirens to the 3 women by the lake. Both used music to draw the men in, and both affected them in a negative way in any manner. Another similarity would be comparing Big Dan Teague's actions to Polyphemus. Both tried to hurt the main characters of each piece and their companions, as well as killing them (even though that turned out to be incorrect in O'Brother). A difference would be how Pete's cousin betrayed him by turning him in to the authorities to collect their bounties. That was an obstacle on Everett and his friend's road, which they overcome. Other than that difference, the rest are mainly similarities for the remainder of the

They live in the House of the Old because they are separated from the society. All the people are getting older and weaker without exception, so it is hard for them to live without family.
