Compare And Contrast Rex And Eli
Rex and Eli can be compared in so many different ways. Rex was a huge liar (Bodeen, 2008, p.84). He lied about so many things. His family started to not like him. He is also weird. Rex has a growing imagination. He is very smart. Rex invented a software and computer company which made him a billionaire. Rex was also adopted as a baby. Rex was adopted, so that might have triggered something so they also wanted to adopt a baby. That might add on to why they wanted to adopt Lexie. I think Rex is a psycho because of what he put his family through.
Eli is a very tough person. He proves his points and is his own person. Eli does what he thinks is right even if it isn't. Eli, like his dad, is a very smart person. He started taking college classes

    Peyton vs. Eli

    Peyton Manning is known around the world for his talents on the football field. He is considered to be the best quarterback in the league today even at the age of thirty – six years old. With his ability to read defensive players alignments and formations, he is almost unstoppable. Many people feel that he is going to go down as one of the best players to ever play the game. Others argue that his younger brother Eli has an edge on him and feel that he is the better quarterback out of the two because he has more super bowl rings. Peyton Manning is among the league’s leaders in passing yards, touchdowns, and quarter back ratings every year and has been since his early years in the National Football League. Peyton is a student of the game. He studies game film like he is studying for a final exam in college. He knows the game inside and out and he shows it on the field. Peyton was the selected number one overall in the 1998 NFL draft by the Indianapolis Colts. His rookie year was far from perfect, but he set a few NFL records for completions, attempts, and passing yards in a season. He also had a few plays that many would like to just over look by throwing a NFL high twenty – eight interceptions in that season as well. Those were just blemishes marking up what would turn out to be a remarkably successful career. Even though Eli has more super bowl rings then his older brother, Peyton still has the edge in my eyes as the best quarter back in the NFL and in the family and has the stats to back it up.…

    At the beginning of the story, Sylvia thinks of her son as just another Ramenzal that will be attending Whitehill and even gives him “number thirty one” (Vonnegut, 2) in the honored list of the Ramenzals who have attended the institution. Sylvia fails to realize that Eli has unique qualities that are different from the rest of the Remenzels until the end of the story. When the Remenzels discover from the headmaster that Eli has not been accepted to the school and realize that Eli has ran away because of the tough situation he got himself into, Sylvia finally recognizes that Whitehill is not the best place for him. This allows Eli to open up and express his feelings comfortably. We see this when Eli expresses his feelings of anger at his father for trying to get him into Whitehill, for he realizes he will not succeed there. He says, “You shouldn’t have done that” (Vonnegut, 12). At the point that he is recognized as an individual, he is ultimately able to mature through his new ability to express himself without being intimidated.…
