Cassandra and Mary Elizabeth

Cassandra, from the Trojan Horse, is a person who can see the future but no one will listen to her. I am comparing Cassandra to Mary Elizabeth from Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. At first Mary’s hometown revolves around her, but when she moves she has to compete for attention, just like how no one will listen to Cassandra. They both have similar personalities, Cassandra was very intelligent, charming, desirable, elegant, friendly, and gentle. Mary Elizabeth was also charming, desirable, elegant, and friendly, however she was also really confident.

Their lives were very different of course.  Cassandra was an adult who lived a long time ago in Greece.  Mary Elizabeth is a teenager who grew up in New York City, living in the New Jersey suburbs.  She wants to be a Broadway actress.  Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen is more modernized and obviously watched by a teenage audience. Kids can relate a lot better to a modern movie than Greek mythology, but in both stories the outcomes are different.
