Alex vs. Julian

Author's Note: In class today we worked on comparing and contrasting two characters from books.  I compared Alex and Julian from the Delirium Series by Lauren Oliver.  If you would like to look into this series further, click this link- http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11614718-delirium :)  Julian doesn't come around until Pandemonium (the sequel), but don't worry there aren't any real big spoilers in my chart. :)
