In this activity students will compare and contrast characters within the text. In this example, Claudia is compared to Jamie.
Claudia is a spender; she has a difficult time saving money and resisting nice things. Jamie is a saver; he would rather walk the distance to the museum then take a bus or worse, pay for a taxi.
Claudia is a planner; she plans out (almost) every detail of the runaway, including taking the train to New York City. Jamie is quick on his feet; when asked why he isn't in school, he instantly describes how his school was forced to cancel school because of a broken furnace.
Claudia wants to return home feeling different, like a heroine. Jamie simply likes running away for the adventure.
