If I have to compare The secret diary of Adrian Mole and Thirteen is talk about adolescence. Both stories are about adolescence or adolescent people. Both Adrian and Tracy are thirteen years old guys. They are looking for their own personality and are rounded by other guys. I think that Adrian Mole is lighter than thirteen in this sense. Adrian Mole spoke about Adrian and Pandora, the relation between Adrian’s parents meanwhile in thirteen the path is in drugs, sex and steals.
Both stories have broken families with their parents with new partners and none of them (Adrian and Tracy) like it. They have problems to communicate with their respectably mothers but they don’t found their space neither house nor life.
There is a background in the two stories full of society problems like unemployment, family problems, difficult relationships, old people... they are a hard criticism of our modern society (difficult to understand when you are thirteen).
Adrian is full of humour but Thirteen is a heavy vision of the same problem. Adrian writes a funny poem without any sense it’s funny! Tracy and Evie passed very hard situations than Adrian never has to.
