Little Cog-burt vs Cotton Candy

In the two stories "Little Cog-burt" and "Cotton Candy", they shared some similar traits but differed in ways. The main similarity is that the conflict is upon two girls that live on an island in the Caribbean and both have a conflict within another character in their story. The story Little cog burt dealt with a women (Moria) coming to piece over the decision of letting dark children join in on the Christmas party. This is just from the way she was brought up and how things were done as a kid. Her husband thought it would be right to let all the kids join because it seemed like the patriotic thing to do and also everyone else was doing it as well. Moria couldn't wrap her mind around the thought of them doing it. Throughout the story she comes to conclusions and has a few discussions which helped her come together on the idea of the dark kids joining the party. The story the Cotton Candy could relate in similar way due to the girl (Lola) in that story wanting to find love. Just like in the previous story she has a really strong feeling that happens to be love in this case. Also just like the other story the felling she has is driven off a bad past experience. In this story her bad experience is her controlling mother. Lola is looking for love but she cant get close to it due her mother. She gets older and has to get a job at the zoo as a cotton candy lady and this is the closest she has to love. She uses the animals as symbols of love and realizes she has been doing that her whole life once she finally figure out what love was. The stories are similar because each conflict they had came to light and they finally overcame it. It just differs in the ways they did it.
