These two stories are very similar, both showing how each main character struggles with their person. Both Lola and Cog-burt are struggling with their looks and are having a hard time being able to express the things they want or desire the most. Lola in her story was unable to find love and a man because her mother was in the way of her sexual desires. Her mother didn't want Lola to grow up. Cog-burt suffers from worms unable to stick up for himself. His mother plays a huge role in his life by caring for him; as well as being his mouth at times. These two characters both are impacted by their mothers. In Lola's situation it is not want she wants. In Cog-burt's it is more of a necessity due to his illness and small person. In Lola's story she suffers from not being able to fulfill her sexual needs. Her mother didn't want her to live her own life, and didn't want to see Lola with anyone. That was her struggle being kept away from men, and not being able to make her own decisions. As Lola grows up she names butterflies after each men in her life that she felt something towards. Lola seeks her own kind of happiness when she started working at a zoo. Spinning cotton candy at the zoo, where she was able to watch animals have intercourse was fascinating and pleasing to her. Since she was never able to experience it herself. In Cog-burt's story he is a tiny and very sensitive little boy. Moira is not liking nor having an affection for the plantation workers or the children there. She views Cog-burt as a whiny little kid.
