A similarity between both excerpts is that a difficult lesson is learned in each story, and each main character is altered as a person. The difference between each, would be the purpose for their actions and the outcome of both characters of the stories. In “The Bet” the lesson learned is that life has more value and need than we realize.

Blood may be thicker than water, but here it's far weightier than a peppercorn, Kim said in the opening line of his appellate brief. Son wrote the contract during an alcohol-fueled meeting in a bar, agreeing to pay back $170,000 that Kim had invested in or loaned to two companies he controlled. Sir, please forgive me, it said. Because of my deeds you have suffered financially, I will repay you to the best of my ability. Kim argued that his forbearance in waiting more than a year to sue Son for breach of contract and fraud was adequate consideration.

The $250,000 life insurance policy he and laci had two years prior to her murder. So why did Scott Peterson get the Death Penalty Row but Guilty in Murder? I certainly agree Peterson, deserved the death penalty, because it was such a cold-blooded murder. He planned it for weeks, bought a boat, bought the cement, made the weights to sink her body.
