There are lots of similarities between Elsa and Lorenzo that they both become more helpful and begin to trust each other in the end of the story because of their sisters who they don't have a good relationship with. The book, Me And You is about Lorenzo, a little boy who has some problems about the relationship with others. He lies to his mom he will go to the ski week, but he stays in the basement instead of going ski with his friends. However, he changed himself after spending the whole ski week with his half sister who went to the basement to look for the money for getting the drugs. The movie, Frozen has some very similar things; Elsa also don’t have a good relationships with her sister, Anna, before because of the magic of her. After she runs away from the castle, and Anna goes to find her, she knows what is the love between family and changes herself. First, they both became more helpful because of their sisters. Lorenzo wanted to help his mother when they got the accident. However, Lorenzo could not do anything that made him think he was useless. After meeting with Olivia, he wanted to help her. As we know, in the article, Lorenzo thinks Olivia has Malaria. Just like what the book said, “She has Malaria. Like Caravaggio.” After Lorenzo thinks that, he wants to help Olivia from the sickness. By this part, Lorenzo feels he is helpful. He thinks he saves a person who is his sister. Lorenzo changes a lot. The most important one is he becomes more helpful because we can see the big different between the beginning and the end. The movie Frozen has a very similar relationship between Anna and Elsa. In the movie, Elsa had the magic and she hurt Anna when they were both young who is her sister. That event made her felt so sorry to Anna. So she locked herself in her room and didn’t talk with anyone. After Anna went to find her when she ran away from the castle because the people find her magic and tried to kill her. She hurt Anna again and it’s really hart to let her recovery. Therefore, Elsa tries to save her. During the time she looking for they ways to save Anna, she knows what is love. That’s a such bad relationship between Anna and Elsa in the beginning of the story. Anna don’t remember anything because the Master let her forget anything even the magic of Elsa. Therefore, Anna is so confused why her sister doesn’t play with her anymore. That’s the reason why their relationship become worse. Lorenzo and Elsa both have a bad relationship with their family member, even if that because of different reasons; after have a time with their sisters, they try to help their family member. Second, in the beginning of the book and movie, Lorenzo and Elsa don’t trust anyone else beside themselves; however, after stay with their sisters, they begin to trust others. As we know, in the book, Lorenzo never tell others the truth which he is lying to others; such as he is a good person who has lots of friends and sometimes he will spend time with his friends and live in their home; such as he will go to the ski week with their friends instead of stay in the home or basement. In my opinion, he doesn’t tell the truth because he cannot trust anyone else. He thinks no one will stand with him and give him the support.
