What is the Comparison between Beka Lamb and chrysalids?

Answer 1

Beka Lamb and the Chrysalids happen to be quite similar. though both novels represent different periods, different characters, and different lifestyles, they still manage to focus on the struggles of a child. Beka Lamb, sees Beka (the protagonist) going through some really drastic changes: change in behaviour, beliefs and mentality. Similarly to David, the protagonist of the Chrysalids who undergoes similar changes. Both characters go on a journey, in search of acceptance, but from how I see it the end up realizing that they don't need to be accepted by family, friends, or the entire society/community, but they need to be accepted by themselves. They both realise that before they can grow and be respected they must first learn to respect and be true to themselves. Both Beka and David must lose something important to them in order to come to this conclusion. Beka looses her best friend Toycie David loses his friend Sophie But both gains a friend in themselves, they learn to love themselves and understand that it's not about pleasing others but pleasing yourself!! (I Agree!! These two novels are excellent for comparison and provide the reader with an understanding of themselves. if you're not sure how you fit in at home in school or n a society, you should feel at home reading about the lives of these two excellently portrayed characters.)
