Contrast and Compare

Read this note from Jake´s dairy.

October 15, 2020.

Sometimes I wonder why Alex and I are friends.
He has a great personality (just like me :P), he is
fun (like me XD) but sometimes I don´t understand
him, seriously!
Today, Alex went to school with the ugliest clothes
ever! He just doesn´t care about how he looks! I
really like to look nice, but he could wear anything.
Then, oh mi gosh! His way to eat! Put something,
(seriously, anything!) on a plate, and he will eat it.
He just eats whatever is in front of him. I always
try to eat something healthy; my favorite meal is
broccoli pizza! But I don´t like milk, I always give
it to Alex, he loves it!
But I think those things don´t really matter, he always helps me to do the right thing, and makes me laugh when
I´m sad. We both like dragons and funny movies, he prayed for me when I was sick… I like having a friend like
him… even when he is a little weird :V

“S” for similarities and a “D” for differences.
