Pinocchio = David
-Both Pinocchio and David do not know how to properly act because they are not actually human
-David has trouble understanding basic human functions (such as drinking coffee in the morning)
-Pinocchio is gullible and does not listen to advice
-David is fascinated by eating, and Pinocchio is always hungry and wants to eat
-Both are child-like and care for their parents
-Both were designed as toys
-David wants to be a real boy
-After Monica read Pinocchio to Martin and
David, David romanticized becoming a real
boy
-Ate spinach to try to be like Martin
-David listens to Martin’s bad advice similar to how Pinocchio listened to the cat and fox
-Teddy is similar to the cricket in Pinocchio
-David was abandoned
-David wants nothing more than for Monica to love him; Pinocchio wants to make Geppetto proud
-David is searching for the blue fairy
-David sees parts of past Mechas be dumped and meets others like him; related to Pinocchio meeting other marionette puppets like him
-Joe is another bad conscience
-Innocence is a big theme in both stories
-David and Pinocchio both get tricked into spending their money
-David dives into the ocean to find the blue fairy, and Pinocchio does it to escape which eventually leads to saving his father
