The first novel we read was about a family who had money. This novel the family does'nt have money in the begining. The first novel had a real house. This novel does'nt. The first novel takes place in America. This one takes place in Paris.

COMPARE

First is first. I think that the storys are different because on story takes place in france the other in the U.S.A.
Now one comparison is Armand and the Herdmans. Armand and the Herdmans were ragged clothes. There are many dffereces and things that are alike about the Herdmans and Armand but I cannot tell you all of them. Now another difference Herdmans are bad the kids in family under the bridge. Well thats all I had to say.

Hay I think that the to stories or novels are differnt because well like what johnathan said. They are differnt because one story/novel has a family with money and one does'nt. One story/novel had a way that not many people would understand and one did have a way that people would understand. They where alike in a way that they where both books. Oh i almost forgot I have another diffrens, they have differnt titles. Those books where interesting and fun to listen to. That is how i think they are alike and different.

The family under the bridge was a very good book. I thaught the hobo was very funny. I thaut the little girl Suzie was very smart. She always wanted to go to school. i also think she was a little crazy. I do like school. But not as much as her.

The Family under the brigde was simular to the christmas pagent becuase they both have kids in both of them. The kids both had a home or did something in each book . They both went to school at one time in each book. They had both girls and boys in both books. They were also both really good books.

CONTRAST: The two stories because one story the people had money the other story the people had almost none unless they begged for money. Another thing is the first story the people had a house and the other people had a tentish thing to live in. COMPARE: in the two stories they both had main point to focus on for a whole paragraph.

Armand and the Herdmans are alike because they are both stubborn. The two stories alone are alike because they relate to Christmas. These stories are different because one is about a Christmas pageant. The other,(Family under the bridge) is about a poor hobo on the streets who finds a family and gets a job he never thought he would have. There is also differentses in the settings. One takes place in Paris. The other in U.S.A.

I think the two storys are alike because the main characters are always kinda mad or sad. Now the differences, one story is about Christmas and the other is about hobos. They also both take place in a different enviroment, and both live in a different place.

How I think the best christmas ever and the family under the bridge are alike because they both have something to do with familys. another way they are alike is because they both are around christmas time. A way they are diffrent way they are diffrent is one is about a pagent and one is about a hobo that meets a family. Another way they are diffrent is because one has mean kids in it and one has nice kids in it.Anther way they are both alike is because they both have pour poeple in there story. One more way they are diffrent is because one has gipses in there story and one has the Herdmans in there story. One more they are alike is becaus they both have school in there storys. Thats how I think the best christmas pagent ever and family under the bridge are alike and different

I thank that both of the stories/novel are diferent because in the first story we read there family was not so pore. But in the second story, there was pore poeple, but he did finly get a home for the children. But they are about the same thang, because they both have problems. but at the end they figure out how to salve their problem. I like both of the stories, they were some good books?

The Family Under the Bridge was like the Best Chistmas Padge Ever but it was
about hope and truth. If their was no
hope then their life will be destoryed
and have no hope. So have hope in you for ever. Truth is a good thing because if you do not have one no one will belive in what you are saying. What I am
telling you can be true and you life will be much esayer for everone.

They are different because one is about pour people and the other is about a bad family that goes to a christmas play. Another reason is because this family is good and the other family is bad.Another reason is because one family went to church and the other family did not. Another reason is because one family has a dog and the other family has a cat.They are alike because they both did church stuff.They both have a pet.They both have parents. They both families have a problem.
