This is an example answer
Slim was my favorite character from Of Mice and Men because he seems really smart, cool and collected. He reminded me of my dad. I am not very much like Slim at all, but I would like to be. He is the "strong silent" type. He always keeps his head even when everyone around him is going crazy. Slim is a calm and peaceful member of the ranch who the other guys look up to--the leader. I am more hot-headed. I lose my temper easily and if I had lived on the ranch I probably would have joined Curly in searching and berating Lennie for murdering Curley's wife. What did you think of Curley?

Lennie was my favorite character from Of Mice and Men because the way he reacted; right off the bat you knew he was a sweet, innocent, hot-headed guy. I can relate with him when it comes to carrying for others. I can also differentiate with him; i'm not much of hot-head. No matter how many time they kept reminding him not to for get something, he'd always forget. He was a hard working man but sometimes curiosity leaded him into big trouble. How do you see Lennie form your own perspective?

George was my favorite character in the book because he looked so innocent at first but later on he changed. He is different from me because I will never shoot my best friends. What did you think about Lennie?

My favorite character in the book is George because he was very caring about Lennie. George was always with Lennie. George relates to me because like George I take care of my brothers all the time. When Lennie needed something, most of the time George was there to help him. Did you like the book? Why or why not?

My favorite character was Slim. He was like the only character that was okay with himself. He wasn't worried about anything. If people needed advice, he's someone they'd go to. He's a little different because when someone comes to me for advice I wouldn't know what to say. Why did Candy let Carlson shoot his dog?

My favorite character in the story/movie is George. He is my favorite character because he is a helpful man and he tells Lennie what stuff is wrong or good and what he should be doing and not doing. Basically, George tells Lennie what to do because Lennie doesn't know a lot. But George does it for his own good. He was different compared to me because he is big, he is different colored and fearless.

My favorite character in "Of Mice and Men" would have to be George. I am very fond of how he looks after Lennie 24/7. This characteristic is very admirable in my opinion. I can be similar to George mostly when he loses his patience with Lennie. It is completely understandable and expected. I've dealt with the same situation only it is with my little brother. Where does George tell Lennie to go if he gets in trouble?

My favorite character is Lennie. He's my favorite character because he's always in his own world doing his thing. He's the same as me in just that way. I'm not mentally ill like him.

My favorite character was Lennie because he had a lot of imagination and because he's strong and he loves animals. We are similar because I live animals and I have a lot of imagination. I'm also in powerlifting so I am strong like him.

George and Lennie are both my favorite characters. I like George because he is a leaders. So he's like me in the sense that he has to be a leader to people. I like Lennie because he's not as mature and still a little kid. I'm like him in the sense that at times I can get like a little kid. Lennie also loves animals and so do I-we're both animal lovers. What this book written in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd person point of view?

I would have to choose George as being my favorite character in "Of Mice and Men" because he takes a lot of care of Lennie just as if he was his own blood. I also see George as my favorite character because even though Lennie would get really annoying to him he would take care of him and not really pay much attention to it. He would understand would be able to tolerate that from Lennie at times because he mostly has a little kid mind and really don't know what he is doing sometimes. If George wouldn't have taken care of Lennie in the story, Lennie wouldn't have lasted that much like he did in the story. Lennie would probably have forgotten to eat at times or do many other things that would get him into trouble. There probably wouldn't be any similarities between me and George because if I would have been in the same situation to take care of someone like that I would probably do the same.

My favorite character from "Of Mice and Men" was Lennie even though he had brain problems was less advantageous at knowledge from the other people he still had a big heart and was respectful to the people who showed him the same respect! My question is why did George kill Lennie? They could have just ran away!!!

My favorite character from "Of Mice and Men" is George. He reminds me of myself because when he gets in trouble he know how to get out of it, kind of like me because I am always getting in trouble and I know how to get out. George is also smart and small, another similarity. A difference is that he is strong and has sharp features, I'm strong, but not as much as him. What happened to Crooks' family and the land they had?

My favorite character was George because he might be mean to Lennie but he cared for him because he was sick. In my opinion, George and I were not the same because I can never be mean to someone I care for. I'm always too nice but never can be strict. Why wouldn't they say Curley's wife's real name?
