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.
