Me and Tessa are similar because we both love to visit new places, and to travel and explore. Tessa mentions that she would love to live in new york city one day with her best friend Liam. I would also love to live in NYC.
One difference is that Tessa LOVES academics, she always asks her professors to give her extra worksheets and books to study from outside of class. Shes always ahead of what her classmates are learning because in her free time she sometimes reads ahead.
"Liam and I sit down in the front and center and take our books out. It feels good to be back in my element, academics have always been my thing..."

A way that we are different is that he is in a soccer team and i am not.

Clockwork Princess by Cassandra ClareMain character Tessa Gray
The only similarity that we have is that we both are girls and a difference is that she has a power to transform into other persons. This supports my answer by "Pain drove up her arm, and she let go of the watch. It thumped to the desk, but the change was unstoppable. Her shoulders broadened under the dressing gown, her fingers turning green, the color the color spreading up her body like verdigris over copper" Page 354

The one similarity that me and Scott have is that we are both scared of getting bombed. And we are both Athletic. A difference is his dad prepares for nuclear war and my dad doesn't. "the threat of nuclear war scares me." this quote supports my answer because it talks about he is scared or war.

One similarity is that we both are juvenile.
One difference is that he's a gangster and i'm not a quote to support this is "which signifies that all charges have been enhanced to Gang Related."
Me and the main character are two different people. First of all she is a girl and im a boy. But we do have one thing in common and thats that we both like gangs.
