Imagine yourself in the story. Think how any character’s experiences or attitudes are like or unlike yours. Describe the differences or similarities. Which character do you most understand and why?
Start reading chp. 5 and 6 over the weekend, but there will not be a quiz until later in the week. We will go over chapter 4 when we return on Monday. Have a great weekend!

I can't think of any character in the story that is like me. If i had to choose, it would probably be somebody like Candy because he seems kind of shy. I think the character i most understand would be crook. He is grumpy but he is that way because he is a different race, lonely, and a cripple. He can't go our to play cards with the other men and he has to just sit in his room all by himself. Once he gets company, he doesn't know how to act around them because he is not used to it. the only person he gets to see in his room with him would be slim. It also probably doesn't make it any better that he has a crooked back either. I just feel i can see why he acts the way he does.
I don't think that any people in this story are anything like me. These characters haven't been fully devoloped yet in the reading so I can'tsay that anyone is like me. The only people in the story that have been talked about a lot are Lennie and George and I dont think that I am like them.
I dont really think i am like any of teh characters. If i had to pick one person i was most like, i would probably pick George. Although hes one to pick a fight and im not, he sticks by Lennie. I stay by my friends no matter what. I unserstand him the most for that reason. He also knows whats best and knows what to stay away from when theres a problem. I also try to avoid conflicts.
Well I can understand all of the characters, but I don't really relate to one specific character. But, one character that I can't understand is Curley. Curley has the world at his finger tips, he basically had luxury handed to him on a silver platter. His dad has a steady job, HE has a steady job, and it's quite impossible for him to get fired. What I don't understand about him is that he's so unhappy with everything he has. I mean think about it, he has a beautiful wife, and a paycheck every Friday. Why does he have to be such a jerk all the time?!? I just truly don't understand why he is so unhappy. It seems like he's missing something but can't figure out what it is so he just fights to make up for the emptiness.
mice of men can be easily related so easily that i can imagine myself in it. if i were in it i would be the lazy character that takes any short cut possible. but i think if i was any character i would be slim. the reason i say this is because i imagine him as lay-back kinda guy. i think i understand curley the most because he is a small guy and wants to be perceived as tough. i also understand him because i have a sister and i was a little guy also so i can understand because i always tried to prove to her i was tough. this is how the story can relate to my life.
i cant tell if these people are anything like me yet. but we do share some basic similarity like compation and helping people out, like gorge. im probably most like gorge and least like curly. i most understand lennie because he seems the simplest. he want to have land of his own and of corse tend to the rabbits. i also understand how he acts and reacts and his relationship with george.
In some ways, I am similar and different from characters in the book. I am like Lennie because I'm kind of goofy like him. George relates to me because he speaks his mind and likes to be in control of things. I am unlike Candy because I am not very shy, I am the complete opposite. In a way I think that Curley's wife is insecure, and I am very confident with myself. I cannot relate myself to Curley but I would say that I am confident, just not as much as he is. Overall, I can relate to many characters in the book.
I think that the character most like me is George. I always take care of people, like my friends. I don't know why i do, but i kind of like having the resbonsibilities. I also have a temper like him. SOmetimes i get really mad, but then later i feel bad about it. The thing that is not like me is that he plans things out; he planned out a house to buy and what he is going to do. The character that i most understand is Cerley's wife. She is just really lonely and wants someone to pay attention to her. I understand that when she doesn't talk to people a lot she feels lonely.
I really can't think of any character in this story that is like me. If i had to choose one, i would probably pick slim. Slim is laided back and he can be a leader when he wants to. I think this would be like me. I understand all of the characters in this book. The one that i really don't get would be Curley. He has the world under his fingertips and he is still stuck up. He has a beautiful wife as well.
my attitude is like slims, i have a scary look and kinda big. were different by how hes tall im short and masculant. the character i most understand is lennie because my adoptedsister is mentally challenged and shes kinda like him, nd i kno u have to spend extra time with someone like that and how they act can be disspaointing and how fustrating they are but i the end i still love my sister like george and lennie.
The character that I see that I'm most like would have to be Lennie. I am most like Lennie because there are somethings that I don't understand socially. I'm unlike him in some ways as well. One thing that separates the two of us is the facet that he is a migrant worker and I am not. Another similarity that I see between us is that we are both unaware of how strong we truly are. I mostly understand George's predicament. If George was able to get away from Lennie and go his own route, then he could get a girl of his own and party all day long. There are many other things that I can relate to from the book that I can't think of at this current time.

We have read about most of the character but we dont fully understand some of them. I dont think that I relate to any specific character. One of the people that I understand is George. I understand him because I know what its like to be that close to someone. I have friends that I will stay with untill the end. I also know what its like to have to keep up after someone because they are always making a mess of a situation. This is what me and George have in common.
I believe i am most like George. George seems like the kind of guy that will do anything for someone else, even if it takes away from his own life. This is the kind of person i like to be. I don't like to just think about myself. I enjoy helping out my friends, even if it takes away from possible, funner things that i could be doing. Of course, like George, i can complain about how much helping and being a friend to someone else is affecting my own life. But, we all do. No one is ever perfect. We do what we can, and enjoy what little time we are given.

if i were to pick a character that fits me, it would be probly lennie not cuz im so much a dumb ass, but because im kinda big not to be self cenored just its the truth. like i dont like fighting unless i need to, like in cage fighting its only cuz i need it. but anyways i like the simple things in life like petting animals or anything ssoft i just like it . the easiest things will distract me, im easily amused.and the character i most understand would be lennie because were so much alike.
The character I most understand is probably George. I think this because George mensions that he has to give up stuff to watch over Lennie and becasue of Lennie, and I have givin up stuff because of someone or something. When you give whatever it us up, you realize how important the person/thing you gave it up for. Sometimes you think of what if i didn't leave all that behind and second guess your decision, but in the back of your mind, you know you made the right choice but at times it is harder because you didnt take the easy way out. Yes there are times your choice is hard to live with but it is worth it in the long run. When you start looking over someone like how George is looking over Lennie, thats something you will stay with till the end becasue you become attached to the person and you grow a bond between each other, and realize giving up those things were worth it.
