George is a fictional character from the book "Of mice and men". He is a " small and quick man , dark of the face, with restless eyes and sharp strong features(steinback pg2). George like most of us has a dream The dream he has is to one day own his own land with his companion and best friend lennie. The reason he wants his own land is so he can have a farm and take care of his mentally challenged friend (lennie), so that they have a safe and protective place to live, and a place where lennie can stay out of trouble.
George wants to achieve this dream but cannot do so without overcoming the struggles that keep him from achieving this dream. Trying to take care of lennie who is mentally disabled is one of the obstacles george will face because he always has to keep lennie out of trouble. While trying to keep lennie out of trouble he also tries to look for work and ways to earn money which is even more straneous for him to do. Everytime george finds a job he always loses it because lennie is always causing trouble. George can hardly save money because of this problem. "God almighty if I was alone I could live so easily" (George pg.11).
I believe that the character's George from of Mice and men and Nick Carraway from Great Gasby are similiar because they both have dreams that have to do with making more money and living a life that is sucessful. They also have to face some of the same struggles of trying to obtain money in order to pursue their future goals. In my opinion their lives are kind of the same. George had to take care of Lennie and Nick in a way had to take care of Gatsby. In the end they both lost people important to them while trying to pursue their dreams.
