The story called “The Treasure of Lemon Brown” has a main character called Greg. The story called “The Moustache” has a main character called Mike. I am going to compare and contrast both of them.
First, I’m contrasting Greg to Mike. Greg is a fourteen year old who has trouble in math and wants to join a basketball team, “His father… lecturing endlessly about his poor efforts in math.” and “It wasn’t often the Scorpions took on new players, especially fourteen year olds…”, states “The Treasure of Lemon Brown”. Unlike Greg, Mike is a seventeen year old, “At the last minute Annie couldn’t go...have to break her date with Handsome Harry Arnold…”. He wanted to go to the movies on a double date with his girlfriend, Cindy along with Harry and Annie, but got canceled due to Annie, “... was invaded by one of those twenty-four hour flu bugs…”. Mike’s mom studied him, “ ‘ I still say a seventeen year old has no business wearing a moustache.’”, she didn’t approve of him wearing a moustache. In contrast to Greg, Mike has no trouble in math, nor wants to join a basketball team. …show more content…
Both Greg and Mike are still in school, in “The Treasure of Lemon Brown” it states, “He hadn’t been allowed to pay high school ball…”. In “The Moustache” it states, “... half price admission for high school couples, seventeen or younger.”, Mike is seventeen and is dating Cindy, so Greg and Mike are both in high school. Greg helped Lemon Brown and learned a lesson, “ ‘ Every man got a treasure.’”, Mike helped his grandma by giving her peace. In “The Moustache” it states, “ ‘ Nana, this is Mike your grandson, not Mike your husband.’”, but his grandma shushed him. Mike’s grandma confused him with her husband, “ ‘ … I never had the chance to ask you to forgive me… ‘ I forgive you, Meg.’”. Mike had helped his grandma by giving her what she wanted forgiveness just like Greg to Lemon
