One similarity is they are in the same family.
Marty and Dara Lynn ply with their food at dinner.
Marty likes to shoot cans off of a fence.
Dara Lynn is 7 and Marty is 11.
Marty found Shiloh and Dara Lynn didn't.

I think Marty and Dara are different in these ways, Dara is more of a gory person. And Marty is more kind hearted then Dara.

Marty and Dara arn't that similar but there are some similar things like they both like dogs. Another thing is they both can be kind some point. Dara isn't always that nice, as I explained in my first paragraph.

Dear Marcelo D.
I think that Shiloh should be with Marty, not Judd Travers. Judd Travers is mean. If I was Marty, I would not give the dog back to Judd. Would you have done that?

We thought that it was sad when Marty's father didn't think that he could go to veterinary school. We liked the author's words: "My dream sort of leaks out like water in a paper bag." Those words really give us a picture in our heads.
