A similarity they share is how they convey the struggles of family love and the obstacles they face, yet their differences are the way they get over their obstacles for family love. The book “Before i fall” and the movie “Moana” have a similar theme of family love and how that idea changes over time. In “Before i fall” the main character ,Sam Kingston, wakes up every morning realizing that she is reliving the same day as before like 5 times. Sam is very confused and afraid to what is going on and why this is happening and doesn't know how to stop reliving the same day. Over time as she reflects on what happens that specific day she realized she doesn't value or appreciate what she has. Sam dies at the end of everyday before waking up, so overtime she learns to spend time and value her family and friends while she has them. Likewise, the movie Moana is about a teenager, Moana, who sails across the ocean to save her people from her island.
