Violet and her mom feel like they don't fit in with their family because Violet is the only African American girl in her family besides her dads side but she doesn't see them at all unless her grandparents come down to see her and her mom fells like she does't fit in with her family because Violets dad was African American and she tried to marry him but Violets dads mom doesn't want her son to marry a white woman, and right before they were going to get married her mom saw a cute crib(this was before Violet was born)for violet and did one of her "famous" u turns and crashed and killed Violets dad so now Violets dads mom hates Violets mom.The two characters are simmilar because their family members are the different race.they are also simmilar because even though their family members are the different race then them they still stay strong and brave. The two character are different because the mom is trying to hid the truth from Violet about her African American family/life,and Violet is trying to get the truth about her African American family/life.They are also different because if Violets mom made a mistake she will hide it from Violet like when she killed Violets dad,and if Violet makes a mistake she tells her mom right away.

I feel like both Violet and her mom feel like they don't fit in with they'r family. For example in the beginning of the book Violet was one of the only biracial people in the town Moon lake. While her mom felt like she didn't fit in with Warren's family (aka Violets dad) because she was the only white person in Warrens family. Both of these characters are the same because they both don't feel like they fit in with they'r family. Yet they are still different because One person fits in with the family the other person does not fit into. Thattis who I thought that did not fit in with they'r family
