Three ways Mary and Colin are alike are first, they both barely ever saw or see there parents because Mary's parents died and Colin's mother died. He never saw his dad because his dad thought his eyes looked like his mothers(102-103). Another reason Colin and Mary are alike is that they both improve at Missthelthwaite Manor. Mary improves by growing bigger and stronger. Colin grows by stoping thinking that he will die(171-172). The last reason Mary and Colin are alike is that they both have the help of friends to be better. Mary puts her on clothes on now and Colin likes to be outside now (179). Those are three reasons Mary and Colin are alike.

Mary and Colin are alike in many ways. One of the ways they are alike is that they were both selfish (page ). The second way they are alike is that both of their mothers passed away (page ). The third way they are alike is that they both aways stayed in doors for a majority of their life (page ). These are some reasons why Mary and Colin are similar. Mary and Colin became friends because they were so much alike. They know how each other felt.

Mary and Colin are alike in many ways. Mary and Colin are both snobby because they each have servants during the story. They are also bossy. Mary is bossy to her servants. When she doesn’t feel like doing something she tells them to do it. Colin is bossy because he lies in bed and orders people around. Finally, they are both nice. Mary is nice because she helps Colin because he is dying. Colin is nice because he says nice things to Mary and Dickon. These are some ways that Mary and Colin are alike.

Mary and Colin are alike in many ways. One way they are alike is they are mean before the meet (page160 and24).They are also alike because they both are interested in The Secret Garden( page 195). The last way they are alike is they like Dickon very much ( page 184).These are ways Mary and Colin are alike.

Mary and Colin are alike because:1.[102-103] They almost never see their parents because Mary's parents died and Colin's mom died and his dad never looks at him because he brings back memories of his mother's death. Mary and Colin are also selfish in the beginning of the book on pages 1 and 100. The last reason is they always have the help of friends. Examples of this are on pages 1 and 9. Through out the rest of the book I am sure Mary and Colin will have more similarities.

There are many ways Mary and Colin are the same. I will share three of their similarities. First, they are both age 10. For example, on page 104, Colin asks Mary "How old are you?" Mary responds "I am ten and so are you because you're mother died after you were born and she died ten years ago." The second way they are alike is they are both mean at first. For instance, on page 1 it says "But by age 6, she was as tyrannical and selfish as a pig has ever lived. " On page 112, Martha sys "That Colin is the worst young nowt as ever was!" The third way is that they both have better attitudes after they go in the Secret Garden. For example, on page 164, Colin shouts "I shall get well, and I shall live forever!" Also, on page 95 Mary says "When I play outside in the garden I get stronger and stronger. Those are 3 ways Mary and Colin are the same.

Mary and Colin are alike in three ways.First, Mary and Colin rarely saw their parents. Mary's parents died of cholera,(pg.7) Colin's mom died in the secret garden,(pg.33) and Colin's dad hates to look at him because Colin reminds him of his mother.(pg.102 and 103) Second, at first, they were both snobby and mean. Mary ordered her servants around, used mean language, had tantrums, and had no respect for anyone.(first two chapters) Colin was ordering his servants around, had tantrums, and had no respect for anyone.( up until page 171) Last, after meeting each other, Mary and Colin improve on their behavior and respect. Mary gets to have a friend, talks and plays with him, and gets even kinder. Colin gets to have a friend, becomes kinder, and talks and plays with her. They both turn happier together.( pg.125 and up) As you can see, Mary and Colin have three similarities.

I think Mary and Colin are alike in many ways. First they both love the Secret Garden. They love it because it is so colorful and bright. Second they both like Dickon very much. They like Dickon because he is nice and so very cheerful. Lastly they both used to not like the outdoors but now they both love the outdoors. I think both Mary

Mary and Colin are very much alike. They are alike because they are both 10. They are also alike because they both were as sour as they looked but are getting better at being nicer. they are also alike because they both have parents that are dead. This is why Mary and Colin are alike.

Mary and Colin are alike in many ways, here are 3 of them. One way is that in the book when you are first introduced to Mary she is a spoiled brat(p.1 & 2), and when you are first introduced to Colin he is a spoiled brat(p.130). Also Mary and Colin have barely spent time with their parents (M:p.1) (C:p,127). They both look forward to going to the Secret Garden (C:p.190) (M:p.84). These similarities helped them to become friends.

I think that Mary is like Colin because they both were stiff, cranky, thin, rude, weak, and spoiled P.1 and P.2. I also think that Mary and Colin are alike because after a long period of time they grow to be strong, fat, relaxed, polite, joyful, happy, and caring(in the whole book)

Mary and Colin are alike in many ways. I chose to share 3 of them. One way is that in the book when you are first introduced to Mary she is a spoiled brat. (p. 2) "As they always obeyed her and gave her her own way in everything, " referring to her native servants. When you are first introduced to Colin, he is also a spoiled brat. (p.130). " Everyone is obliged to please me." referring to the Misselthwaite staff.

Mary and Colin are similar in three ways. One way I found is that they both argue a lot. An example which I found was that on pages 168-170 they argued. The reason was that Dickon was seeing her in the secret garden.
