Codi and Hallie

Codi and Hallie

The people I am comparing are Codi and Hallie. Hallie and Codi may be sisters but they are very different. Codi is often pondering who she really is and she always seems down in the dumps. I feel she is like this because she has lost a lot in her life. First she lost her mother due to a failing kidney, then when she was a teenager she lost her baby. This makes Codi less adventurous and less willing to take risks. On the other hand her sister Hallie is really different. Hallie loves to help people, as well as Codi, but she traveled all the way to Nicaragua to help people in a time of need. Hallie seems so get up and go while her sister Codi likes to mope around. This could be because Hallie never really lost anything in her life. We also find that Hallie doesn’t mind staying in one place while Codi always has to move around. She says it is because she doesn’t belong anywhere. I really think that she doesn’t like to stay in one place because she doesn’t want to get attached to any one thing or persons. I think this because I think she is afraid to loose something close or personal to her. Since Hallie has never lost something in her life, she isn’t afraid to get close to something or someone. Even though Hallie and Codi have the same blood, the same father, and the same mother, they are very different from each other, and this may be what makes them suck good friends.

Of’ Mice and Men, John Steinbeck

In the ninth grade, one of our school books was called Of’ Mice and Men. I thought that this was going to be another boring book, but to my surprise, it ended up to be one of my favorite books ever. Steinbeck writes about two friends, George Milton, who is small and stern, and Lennie Small, who despite his name is very big and strong. Lennie also mentally challenged. Lennie and George run from the police after a girl accuses Lennie of rape, to a town called Soledad. Here, Lennie and George work on a man’s ranch called curly. Curly is very small and acts too tough for his own good. The Two dream about the day when they make enough money to but their own farm. Things seem to be going good, when Lennie is talking to a women only known as Curly’s wife. She lets him touch her hair because it is really soft. He likes the feeling of it so much that he keeps on pulling on it. She struggles and screams, which sets Lennie of to grab her tightly and shake her. This ends up breaking her neck and she dies. Lennie remembers that George told him that if he ever got in trouble to hide in the bush down by the creak. When George and everyone else finds out about Curly’s wife, George remembers what he told Lennie and runs down to the creak. The rest of the group follows George. George gets to Lennie before the rest of the group and talks to him about the farm. He makes Lennie think of good thoughts. George tells Lennie to face the river and think about all the good thought. George Pulls out a gun, and kills Lennie.

The author shows that sometimes in order to protect someone, you sometimes need to hurt him or her. I agree with this because it is like having a very sick pet. In order to protect it, you have to put it down so it won’t suffer.

Adjective

One adjective that describes me is musical. My whole family plays music so I guess that it runs in the family. One reason I am musical is that I play piano. I have been playing piano for over eleven years and have always enjoyed it. I also enjoy playing the drums. Even though I don't take lessons, they are still my favorite instrument play. I like to play them because there are no wrong notes, no matter what you play, just as long as you like the way it sounds, you know how to play them. That is why the word musical would describe me.
