In another aspect of his childlike innocence, Lennie is comparable to Boo Radley; both are frustrated in their lives, limited by their capabilities. In Chapter 29 of Lee's novel, Sheriff Tate speaks to Atticus of Boo's "shy ways," personal idiosyncrasies that parallel those of Lennie Small who is also childlike. The beginning of that summer boded well: Jem could do as he pleased; Calpurnia would do until Dill came.

In the novel Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, George and Lennie have a very close relationship and their companionship is quite deep. During the 1930s, which was during The Great Depression, George and Lennie escape from Weed because they get into trouble. George has to look after Lennie because Lennie’s Aunt, Clara, is dead and no one takes care of Lennie. Then, they go to the Salinas Valley where they are going to work on a ranch.

Regardless to the fact Lennie is considered one of the principle characters in ‘Of Mice and Men’, he is arguably the least exciting. Throughout the novel he seems to be the same person as on the first pages, enduring no development, growth or significant changes. His character is very simple, in most scenes he is in, it is reinforced that he is very strong, he enjoys petting soft things and is devoted to George and the American Dream, that he and George will someday own a farm. It is this simplicity and helplessness in everyday life that earns the readers sympathy, and also forms the idea in the reader’s mind that Lennie is doomed. The powerful impact is created by the inevitability of Lennie’s death, so the reader’s sympathy and understanding…
First person that really stood out was Crooks the reason why he stood out more than others is because he is black and everyone else in the story was white. He was isolated from everyone else by being in a little room to himself away from others. There was a scene when Lennie went in…

George was one of the three young men talked about in the book. He spent fives years living in the Stella Wright Housing Projects with his mother Ella Jenkins Mack and his older brother Garland, for families with low-income. He said, "Our building was a graffiti-covered, thirteen-story high-rise with elevators that smelled like urine and sometimes didn't work." George had become responsible at a young age since his mother worked all the time; he stayed out of trouble, was very smart in school, participated in school events and surrounded himself with positive people.…
“The Counterfeiters” When dealing with a story like “The Counterfeiters” it is often hard to have a complete understanding of the story because there is always so much going on. There is the always present relationship between Olivier and Bernard, the adulterous ordeal between Vincent and Laura, the novel “The Counterfeiters” which Edouard is writing, and many, many other side plots that revolve around each other and tie the mass web of main characters all together. However, I found that the most intriguing and interesting relationship in “The Counterfeiters” was the relationship between two schoolboy friends, Olivier and Bernard, presented by André Gide; and in my opinion, the subplots of the novel are all anchored by the connection and…
