Differences

I found it really interesting that Jaime and Nicolas could be so different even though they are twins. Jaime goes to school to become a doctor and works in a clinic with the poor, while Nicolas doesn't take an educational route. He studies flamenco dancing and finds a girlfriend, Amanda. Even though the boys have different interests they both end up falling in love with Amanda, even though she disappears from both of their lives.1205095848

I agree with who I believe is Allison. I think the brothers are two of the most captivating characters in this book. Even though they have always been together, they have both developed extremely interesting and different characters. While Jaime seems a little like Ghandi in his willingness to share and interest in the well being of others, i see Nicolas as more like his uncle marcos. The thing i like most about these two is that they could easily just follow their father's path and become extremely rich and powerful, but instead they decided to follow their own path to happiness, which is quite admirable
