The behavior of these two characters is alike in some ways and different in other ways. The behavior of both characters shows they are worried about their health. Schatz shows more responsibility than the boy even though they are both about their health. One thing that is different about the boys is how they respect their families to treat them during their sickness; in "A Day's Wait", Schatz tells his father " you don't have to stay if it bothers you" and in "Stolen Day" the boy wants attention. Even though they are both very young, their behavior shows many things like how they are very alike and different.
