Rachel Marsh v.s. Chloe King

Author’s Note: Between “The Fifth of March” and “The Nine Lives of Chloe King” the main character in these stories are similar, but also different.

Between these two magnificent stories, “The Fifth of March” and “The Nine Lives of Chloe King” these two books have the same themes of bravery, confidence, and the effects of war. There are similarities and also differences between the main characters. For starters, Rachel Marsh is a maidservant for a family in the late 1700’s. While, on the other hand Chloe King is an ordinary high school girl, in the present time.

Meanwhile Rachel is feeling stressed out, and confused about everything in her life. She doesn’t know what to do with her life anymore, and she doesn’t know if helping her friend, Matthew Kilroy, is hurting everyone around her with her actions. While Chloe is having the emotions of being too stressed out to handle anything in her life anymore. She wishes she could forget everything that’s been happening to her, and go back to her normal life; before she found out she had to rule an ancient industry with “cat people”. Therefore both of the main characters in these marvelous novels have somewhat of the same emotions regarding their lives and what has been going on in these two books.

In one case in the beginning of books, Rachel was a shy maidservant girl that works for the Adam’s family, while Chloe was a shy girl with her family and friends and people at school. In both books, both of the characters learned how to speak their minds clearly and sternly, and doesn’t care what people think of them anymore. Rachel and Chloe just have different reasons of why they changed. Rachel was sick of not being listened to, and Chloe had to change to run the university, because she apparently is their leader.

Almost every book ever created has differences, so therefore these two main characters have differences. When Rachel first moved to Boston, she had only made friends with the Adam’s family and a girl named Jane. Chloe likes to hangout and talk to older women and men, than talk to younger ones. Her friends are teaching her the ways of life, and how she should act. On the other hand, Chloe has two best friends and her mother. They are always there for her, and they never leave her side. Her best friends are just like her, so they can’t tell Chloe how to act. Unlike Rachel is trying to learn how to educate herself, while Chloe is being educated from going to school.

Rachel Marsh and Chloe King have interesting lives in front of themselves. In the novels “The Fifth of March” and “The Nine Lives of Chloe King” they have to figure out what role they play in their lives.
