Matt and Attean relationship is very equal. They both help each other out and spend lots of time with each other in the wild. Attean the Indian saved Matt the white man and that's how they became friends.
    Crusoe and Friday's relationship is not equal. Friday is like a slave to Crusoe because Crusoe, the white man, saved Friday, the Indian.
    The two different pairs of friends have likenesses, like they both met by saving each other. Attean and Matt and Crusoe and Friday are friends, too. Those are some similarities.
