Of Mice And Men: Beyond The Line - Does any characters in the book remind you of someone that you know or another character from T.V show?

Did you ever read a book and realize that the characters remind you of you, someone else, even another character from a book or T.V show, well in my case it does. In a book I read called ‘'Of Mice And Men ‘’ written by John Steinbeck there are two characters named George and Lennie that I think reminds me of two characters name Grim and Billy from a T.V show called ‘'The Grim Adventures Of Billy And Mandy''. The character Lennie is more like Billy and the character George is more like Grim. These characters are similar because one character from each is smarter than the other, one character takes care of the other, and one is more responsible than the other.


First of all, the two characters Lennie and George from the book ‘’Of Mice and Men’’ are similar to the two characters Billy and Grim from the T.V show called ‘’The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy''because one character from each is smarter than the other. Grim who is more like George is smarter than Billy who is more like Lennie because Billy is always acting dumb and making a mess of things and Grim always have to clean it up. In the book Lennie always gets in trouble and George has to get him out of it like when Lennie was petting the lady dress in Weed George hurried up and got him out of there before he got into anymore trouble. Lennie also does not really have a seen of right from wrong and like Billy he needs someone help to keep them out of trouble.

Secondly, the two characters from the book called ‘’Of Mice and Men’’ are similar to the two characters from the T.V show called ‘’The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy’’ because Grim takes care of Billy and in the book George takes care Lennie. George helps Lennie to remember things like when he miss place thing or can’t remember where they are going because Lennie has a memory problem and without Georg e he would be lost. On The Grim Adventures Of Billy And Mandy Grim has to watch Billy so that he won’t do anything stupid and he has to watch him because he acts childish and he needs supervision , so if he did not have Grim then he would not be able to get out of any trouble like when George help Lennie in Weed.

Lastly, the two characters from Of Mice and Men are similar to the two characters from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy because George and Grim is more responsible than Lennie and Billy. George has to keep track of Lennie and his things or he will lose them and he won’t be able to remember where he put them, so George is not just responsible for himself but Lennie too. When Lennie though he lost his work card he was not only just not being responsible but he could not remember that he did not even have it George did. In The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy Grim has no choice but to be the responsible one because Billy is the younger one and he is not mature.

To sum it up, the two characters George and Lennie from the book called ‘'Of Mice and Men'' are similar to the two character Grim and Billy from the T.V show '‘The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy '' because they share some similarities. Lennie is more like Billy and George is more like Grim. In each one their is someone who is smarter than the other, one who takes care of the other, and one is more responsible than the other. I can see the similarities can you?
