The Author of “Playground” would most likely respond by saying that both of the stories are similar, by which they both have characters that bring the story to a theme. Both stories bring together that their themes may be that the main characters feel drawn to something, This is because the main character in “I’m not 13 yet” wants to be a part in a School of 12 and 13 year olds. The main character feels as if they don’t belong, because they’re being excluded from the 13 year olds’ clubs. The main character in “Playground” however, has a flashback from their anguished childhood because his son and him pass by a Playground that is very noisy.

I compared the two texts, and found their comparisons. Hope this helps!!
