Compare and Contrast the personalities of Hagar's two brothers in "The Stone Angel"

Matt and Dan are very different.

"Called Dan by his family, he is delicate, lazy, and often in poor health."

"Matt works hard in his father's store but he is clumsy. Ambitious, he dreams of becoming a lawyer."

The one thing they have in common is that they both die at a young age.  Dan dies from a fever, after falling in a frozen river; Matt dies from influenza.
