 * CHAPTER 1**

> (Sinchan /May 4) > The character George in //Of Mice and Men// is similar to the character Atticus in //To Kill a Mockingbird// because Atticus cares for his children like George does for Lennie but they both have a bad way of showing it. (Malyssa N. 5/12/11)  A link for a better understanding of the bunkhouse [] (beibei.Li May 19 2011) 'Yeah. I seen it.' 'Well that glove's fulla Vaseline.' 'Vaseline? what the hell for?' 'Well, I tell ya what- Curely says he's keepin' that hand soft for his wife' (CASEY/ May 5)

 * I really like how in the first couple paragraphs how descriptive it already is. For example, I can relate because I went to Montana and it was gorgeous and green, which sounds a lot like the Salinas Valley and Gabilan Mountains. (Savannah C. May 2, 2011
 * The start of the book paints a vivid picture in my head that gave me the setting of the story in a clear way. I really like how the sycamore trees are described, they make it seem like a place with tons of trees.(Nick K. May 5,2011

 * You can relate this book to //To Kill a Mockingbird// because they both happen during the Great Depression. (Fabian; May 6)
 * The book //Of Mice and Men// is just like the book //To Kill A Mockingbird// because they both are made as a movie and a book. Its good because they are really great book and they help by being a movie so kids can understand the story visually as well as mentally. (Malyssa N. 5/12/11)

 * I think this book relates to a global topic of friendship. The book starts to show what kind of an impact that friends have on each other, it is like an influence. This book seems relate to the theme of friendship.( Nick K. May 5,2011
