Compare and Contrast (Artist and Housekeeper)

The artist is a great painter. The artist enjoys painting,

which is why it is his passion. He tries selling his paintings
but does not earn too much. In the beginning of the book,
the housekeeper brought a cat home. First he hated the cat,
but later he really cared about her and named her Good
Fortune. He knew a lot about Lord Buddha and Prince
Siddhartha. Most days he thinks of what to paint. While
thinking about what to paint he ends up day dreaming
sometimes.

The housekeeper cleans the whole house everyday. She

uses the little money the artist makes to buy food. Since
the moment she saw Good Fortune she loved her. She
does worship Lord Buddha but she doesn’t know too much
about him and his life. All day when the Artist paints, the
housekeeper prepares food for the Artist and the cat.She
works and does chores all day. This shows that she is also

very responsible.

We can find some similarities between the Artist and the
Housekeeper as they are both kind people. They both live

together in an old house. They both love Good Fortune.

They are very hardworking and help each other. They both

worship Lord Buddha. They are both patient. They both

hope that the Artist would succeed and earn more money.

Every day they both do the same things. The housekeeper
cleans and the Artist paints.
