In addition, Kari talked extremely fast and loud as she spoke with Jack-Jack’s mom on the phone. In other words, Kari was annoying every time she opened her colossal mouth. On the other hand, Matilda was not agitating when she talked because she was calm and didn’t talk at a rapid speed. For instance, when Matilda was conversing with the girls at school she did not talk at lightning speed. Instead, she spoke at a moderate tempo so her friends could completely understand her. Thus, Matilda was unlike Kari because she talked like a normal person. Contrasting to Matilda, Kari had a smart-ale-ck attitude that was quite aggravating. When she was talking with the agent, she had a queer personality when telling him about her name. To conclude, Kari had an eccentric and strange mind-set that was frustrating. Even though they may have had several similarities, Matilda and Kari had a distinct difference; Kari was vexatious while on the other hand Matilda was
