between the line

Exam 2


1. Does Lennie like mice or just anything soft?

Lennie likes to pet anything soft. Like in the book he talks about how excited he is about getting a bunch of rabbits. It also mentions in chapter 3 how he is always petting the puppies. I think it’s just the fact of an animal that has soft fur is no particular type of animals that attract him. At the end he was petting Curl’s wife because her hair was soft that goes to show that he likes anything that is soft.


2. Do you think George really cares about Lennie?

I think at times he does it cause he feels bad, but then I believe he does it cause he really cares about him. If George didn’t care about Lennie then he wouldn’t go through all these problems to keep him safe and take care of him. Also if George didn’t care about him then they wouldn’t have run away from weeds and try and safe Lennie.


3. Do you believe George would have much more money and possibly still be working in Weeds?

I think so because Lennie is always getting into trouble and forgetting things This causes George many problems like loosing their jobs, and causing them to have to fleet the place they were staying. Like they had to leave the place they currently staying because Lennie got himself in trouble and they had to leave Weeds because they would have killed him.

beyond the line

Exam 1

Of Mice and Men is about two friends George and Lennie who have no friends or family, they only have each other. Through chapters 1-4 their main focus to get a job to make money, enough money to get a house with lots of land and animals, mainly rabbits.

Like Of Mice and Men, Huckleberry Fin is about two friends who are looking for freedom and want to eventually get a house together. James who is a slave, and Huck who is a young boy who don’t like to follow rules.

Just like Lennie and George, Jim and Huck are on a run from people who are looking for them back at their homelands. Huck and Lennie share a lot in common even though Lennie is a big grown man and Huck is only a little kid, they both don’t listen and don’t follow rules.

George and Jim are a like as well. George is always trying to follow the rules as well as Jim even though he broke the rules by running away. He did so for a good reason to try and find his family where they can then get a house and live free just like George he feels as though he is a prisoner worker for people on their land. Both men want the freedom to live in their own home with their loved ones.

Both of mice and men and huckleberry fin share characters and their motivations. They also have around the same time period setting. Even though Huck Finn and Of Mice and men have a lot in common their endings are complete opposites. Causing different emotions for the ending of book, which if you read them you will know.

My Reflection on Personalities

Guardian (SJs)

1. they care for others



2. they are impatient



3. put ohers before them




4. cant express themselves





Artisans (SPs)

1. they are colorful with projects


2. they are always happy



3. make people laugh and don’t always take things serious




4. when doing projects they add lots of color pictures and sounds





Idealists (NFs)

1. thay are always so serious


2. they are pretty boring



3.always wait until the last minute




4. when doing a project if they are into it they do a really good job and workhard





Rationals (NTs)

1. impatient


2. they like to be in charge



3. don’t like being told what to do




4. they often use technology to study and do work





In schooling, should students be grouped homogeneously (same personality, backgrounds, skills) or heterogeneously (different personalities, abilities, cultures)? Why?

I think that people should be group in heterogeneously. When working with different people and personalities they are able to work better together. They have different points of view so when put together they make good presentations because there is a taste of each personality in it. For example an idealist are boring but like to do the work and put a lot of information in it where artisans like a lot of color and pictures. If you were to put them two groups together they would work well. That saying is true OPPOSITES ATTRACT


How large a part does personality play in who you are? Explain.

It plays a large roll in my personality. I now see and realize how I act and why I act. I never new there was a certain name for the way I act but now I know. I now know my actions have a name (artisan, gaurdan). I deffinetly see that my actions and personality come out everyday in life. Artisan and Gaurdan most deffinetly play a large part in my everyday life.

my test results/ career

One of the careers that came up on my test was nurse. I believe that I would be a good nurse because I have a good kind heart. when people are down or in a bad mood I'm always the one trying to make them laugh or make them happy.I am always trying to help people and looking out for there best interest. When someone gets hurt especially an old person or a young child my heart just melts and I feel so bad for that person and i run to there aid right away.

Not only do I like helping people I also like to attend to them and take care of them when they are in bad conditions. I do think that my heart and emotions take over my sense of thinking most of the time. That’s why I believe I would be a good nurse. knowing that I help people make me feel good about myself. To get to that state I would have to go to college for about four years and then attend medical school
