Hallie vs. Codi

What one person sets out to do is what another person accomplishes unknowingly. What one person understands another person struggles to figure out. These ideas are represented in the book “Animals Dreams”. Codi is more familiar to a stranger than she is to herself; she finds it difficult to be someone when her sister is not there to guide her down the right path. All throughout her life she and her sister have had to live without a mother. Hallie is caring and adventurous, she likes to do what nobody’s done, and she likes to help those who can’t help themselves. Hallie moves to Nicaragua, knowingly understanding the situation. She walks into a place seeing hope and improvement, which is what most people can’t see. Codi has been searching her whole life to find a place she can call home, where she can be in peace with herself. Grace might be a town out in the middle of nowhere, but it became the town Codi was ever so desperately searching for. Many people live their whole life not knowing that what their searching for is directly in front of them. Codi is shy, and when she became a teacher it was difficult for her to teach and tell the students what she wanted to say. In the end, she was looked up to by many students, teachers, friends and family. Hallie is the kind of person who is home anywhere she goes, which is difficult for most and talent of Hallie’s. Animal Dreams teaches you many lessons that most haven’t learned or have even heard of.
