Lennie from Of Mice & Phinney of A Seper

Lennie & Finny

Finny, from A Separate Peace, and Lennie, from Of Mice and Men, was basically the center of their novels.   Everything that went on revolved around them.   From the very beginning,
each of their incidents was a major part of the novels.   Everything that happened to them, including the death of Lennie's mouse, and Finny's announcement of his and Gene's friendship, then to each of their deaths, they had a large impact on the themes of the books.

Just like they had similarities, Finny and Lennie also had differences.   Finny was the big man on campus.   He was the best at every sport, handsome, and...
