Someday Dancer comparison (redo)

       Casey Quinn is just an ordinary girl with a big dream. She comes from a poor family in South Carolina. Casey lives with her mother and grandma in a small house. Casey dreams of becoming a ballerina. No matter what obstacle comes Casey's way, she always sticks to her dream of becoming a dancer. Casey never gives up on anything that she believes in.
       Someday Dancer is similar to the book You Have Seven Messages. Both of the main characters in these two books have a similar way of achieving their goal. Luna and Casey both stick with their goal, and they don't give up no matter how challenging it can be.
       In the book Someday Dancer, there are times when Casey wants to give up her dream of becoming a ballerina. For example, when Casey's grandmother dies. When this happened, Casey felt that she had no reason to keep on dancing. When ever she danced she thought of her grandma and got sad. Also, when Casey didn't get accepted into the ballet school she wanted to quit dancing there too, but the instructor ended up showing her a new style of dance that she enjoys much more! Finally, Casey has no guidance in New York City. She is all alone. She has no mother figure to look up to and help her with hard decisions.
       In the book You Have Seven Messages, Luna finds her moms phone with seven unread voice messages. One by one she listens to a message and tries to figure out her mothers death piece by piece. Luna gets very discouraged during this adventure on trying to figure out her mothers death. Like Casey, no one but Luna knows about the phone. Because of this, Luna is on her own with trying to figure out her mom's death. No matter what bumps come in the road, Luna never gave up.
       As you can see, these two novels are extremely different but they have some similarities. The characters have a goal that they want to achieve, and they won't let anything stop it them from following through with their goal.
