The Little Cog-Burt & Cotton Candy have a lot of
similarities and differences, they both tell stories of lower class working
people and people who see themselves differently than other people. Both
stories talk about desires from the main characters. Although they're in
reality they have impossible situations that they dream of or want to do.
Cotton candy was a story that was about a tale of sexual obsession in which
"butterflies were falling under the green whip, dying, astonished, and
young Lola was gathering her fragile harvest to offer to her first love."
Sometimes she walked hearing "the buzzing of the feverish beehives where
she burned among the honey and the gyrations, wanting to sink her teeth into
the sweetness full of stings." As an old woman, she finds the
"inexpressible, contagious atmosphere where the beasts became beautiful
like the trees and the light." Cotton Candy was a story about a woman who
craved sex and love from someone earlier in her life, but her mother was all
into her business and didn't allow it. Throughout the story the author uses
little details and other animals to describe how the main character feels.
Towards the end of the story she sees herself as a young woman again, instead
of the older and bigger lady that she is. In Little Cog-Burt was sort of the
exact same, they viewed themselves different than others, that's what made them
feel better about themselves and when in reality they were viewed an ugly old,
little and funny looking. Both of these authors used similar ways to explain
their story, but the contrast was very few and if there were any contrast it
was the story itself. They both had different types of ways other people felt
and how they viewed them which was very interesting.
