I Think It Is What It Looks Like

In the book, " This Isn't What It Looks Like", by Pseudonymous Bosch, I believe that Cass and Max-Ernest aren't as similar as everyone thinks in their school.  Everyone thinks there just the same typical "nerds and weirdos", but in reality, their just as different as anyone else. Also, I believe the author WANTS us to notice how different the two main protagonists are, not to believe what everyone says. They think their only the same because they hang out with each other, but that's wrong. They hang out with each other because their friends and opposites attract.

Cassandra  (Cass) is a very sarcastic, witty young girl who loves to study natural disasters such as volcano erupts and earth quakes. She is very fun and likes to focus on the Terces society ( a secret society they interact with) rather than reality. She tends to overwork herself sometimes on a thing that has a simple task. Cass is very positive and likes to reassure everyone that everything is going to be all right.

Max- Ernest is a know it all who doesn't really like to brake the rules, but since Cass is his friend her must. Anything for the Treces society. He tends to worry a lot, whether it's about his friends or all the infections, sicknesses and allergies he has. He likes to correct every ones mistakes and to be precise. M.E. isn't really social and really only likes to hang out with Cass and Yo-Yoji (M.E.'s other friend who is ALSO in the Terces society.

Yo-Yoji has a TOTALLY different personality, but lets not get off topic.


But, In a way, Cass and Max-Ernest are similar. They never stop trying and they never are in doubt. They do what they do best, work for the Terces society.

All in all, the people in Cass's and Max-Ernest's school are only half right. Sure their they have similarities, everyone does. What they don't think about is how they are different. What about them is different? Many things, but the only thing that matters is they are friends and they are happy at the moment.
