Codi and Doc Homer!

Doc Homer and Codi have similar characteristics but they don’t interact with each other in the book but as we read it seems to change. Codi seems to very forgetful about her past. She forgets that she almost killed herself in a flood trying to save coyote pups but she had to be reminded by Hallie in a letter “remember we found those abandoned coyote pups, and the river was flooding”. Doc Homer has Alzheimer’s which makes him forget what’s happening but he always refers back to what’s happening to his past. They both seem very lost about things in life. Codi and Doc Homer both went to medical school however Codi never finished medical school she only did 3 years of medical school, but she is very intelligent she teaches biology at grace high school. They’re both caring in many ways Codi has saved Emelina’s baby from choking and she offered jack (the dog with the green bandana) some lamb chops at the fiesta so he didn’t feel left out from the party. Doc Homer cares about the people around him. He gives Codi blue pills when she had her miscarriage and he yells at Rita Cardenal for not eating right when she was pregnant with twins. Doc Homer is strict he has certain rules that Codi and Hallie need to follow but sometimes they break the rules. Codi seems to be very out of place about where she belongs or where she wants to be. Doc Homer is just out there half the time he doesn’t know what the person is saying because he always refers back to his past.
