The main character of Me and You is Lorenzo. Lorenzo is 14 years old and he is living in Rome. His personality is very strange. He loves to be alone and he doesn't have friends. He has mental problems but he can pretend like as normal person. “If the others didn’t leave me alone, if they pushed me too far, the blood would rise up through my legs, flood my stomach and spread out to the tips of my hands, and then I would clench my fists and lash out”(Ammaniti 27.) This shows how much does he hate to be with people. He loves to be alone and he doesn't need anyone. Anyway, his personality changed after he met Olivia. It showsrelationship between other people can change Lorenzo and he learned from a lot from that. Olivia is the most influence person in Lorenzo's life. His personality changed because he learned how important is to have good relationships with other people. Lorenzo hated her at first but he stated to realize that relationship with other people is wonderful and joyful. Olivia told him to dance at last night that they stay together. “when I danced I felt something I’d never felt before. I felt alive –it took my breath away. In a few hours I would leave that cellar. And everything might go back to the way it was. And yet I knew that beyond that door the world was waiting for me, and that I would be able to talk to the others like I was one of them” (Ammaniti 143.) This is very small thing but it changed his personality little. It shows how fun is to hangout with other people and he learned about it. I think Lorenzo realized that staying with people is better than being alone. People can change other person’s personality and it happened to Lorenzo. At end of the story, we could see how he changed from when he was 14 years old.
The main character of American sniper is Chris Kyle. He is a member of navy seals. American sniper is about a war between Iraq and U.S. War is very dangerous thing, but he wanted to go for his country. Anyway, people opinion or mind can changed by other person’s strong feelings. He was at the war and he was a great sniper. He loves U.S and this why he became navy seals. He has wife, and her name is Taya. He loves her wife and their life was very good before he started to go to war. Chris wanted to go there because other soldiers were dying and they needed Chris. But Taya didn't want him to go because he could die anytime at the war and she was pregnant so she didn't want him to leave. At the time, he picked to go to the war for U.S. From that time, their relationship became worse than before. I think this is shows that Chris need to think what thing he needed to do at the time because it's not his own life. He has wife and she was pregnant and he can't waste his life easily, but this is also hard decision because he is navy seals amd people needed him. After that. Taya’s strong options started to chang Chris’s mind. She was telling how much does she want him to stay and he started realize that he should do something for her. At the end, he didn't go to the war anymore. I think he realized how important is his family and it tells us that family can change other family member’s thought and mind.
Both Me and You and American sniper's main character affected by other characters because other character's opinion helps them to be better person and main characters realized how important are they. Both character is very similar because they have very strong own opinion and life and they didn't want to change the way they are living. But their important person which is Olivia for Lorenzo and Taya for Chris. They changed a lot because of the relationship between Olivia and Taya. Both stories portray that people's strong opinion can changed by other people.
