COMPARE AND CONTRAST ESSAY

 I watched a movie named, "Brave." The movie was about a princess and her name is Merida. Merida was angry at her mom, Elinor because she didn't listened to her. Merida did not want to follow her mom's wish of marriage so she tried to change her fate.

 I thought the movie was fun, very cute and also it had a good lesson. However, I thought the character 'Fergus' was very interesting because he reminded me of my father, even they look very different and their characters are also very different. So I want to compare and contrast the relationship between Merida and Fergus with me and my dad.

 The relationship between Merida and Fergus is really close. Elinor, Merida's mother, doesn't listen to Merida and make Merida to act like a princess, but Fergus thinks like Merida . We can know this when Fergus gave a bow to Merida as a birthday gift and they talked to each other secretly so that Elinor could not hear it. However, Fergus sometimes didn't listen to his daughter as well. When Merida tried to stop Fergus from hurting, or maybe killing her mom, by explaining the truth, Fergus didn't even try to understand what she was saying.

 However, the relationship between me and my own father is a bit different from Merida and Fergus. Of course right mow, we don't really speak to each other because I'm at camp now. Even after the camp, we don't really have time to spend together because of school and other after school activities. However, me and my father have similar interests such as science, stars or our bodies and talk about it often. We watch documentaries about it together and talk about it, too. We like to travel together. However, my father is really scary when he gets angry. So I should look at his face check if he is feeling well or not and act carefully.

 Then what could be the similarities of differences between these two relationships? One of the similarities could be of course, we love each other very much. Also, another big similarity is that our father protect us from our scary mothers, who always want us to behave will at what we are doing right now.

 Even they sound quite similar, there are some differences, too. The biggest one is that my dad is much more severe and strict than Fergus. If he thinks my behavior is quite bad when he sees it, he gets really angry and becomes much more scary than my mom.

 In conclusion, I think the relationship between Merida and Fergus and me and my dad is similar but also has some differences, too. I hope you enjoyed reading my essay. Thank you!
