Answer:
1. In "Typhoid Fever" and "The Highwayman" they are similar in a lot of ways. because of her father would not allow it just like the nuns and nurses who wouldn't let Frankie and Patricia talk. In both stories the girl dies,but in "Typhoid Fever" Frankie doesn't die, and in "The Highwayman" the man dies also.
2.Frankie called Seamus "an old man of forty". Also, they are very short sentences, there are no question marks. It is informal speaking. The author did this to make the style of the writing like a child saying it.
Hope this helps ;-))
