Briefly Compare and Contrast Walter Cunningham&Burris Ewell.Briefly Compare and Contrast Walter Cunningham&Burris Ewell. Indicate how they are...

The only thing that these two characters really have in
common is that they are both poor.  Walter, for example, is too poor to have a lunch to
bring to school.

But they are really quite different, as
are their families.  Walter is a respectful kid who knows how to behave.  He is clean
and he is willing to come to school and try to learn.  Burris is filthy and lousy and
does not care about coming to school.

I think that the
author is trying to make the point that people should be judged by their character and
not by their economic status or anything else.
