Novel Reaction: Thinking Forward

What I find most fascinating is comparing humans to animals, well in my opinion. Humans are way different than animals in most cases. Like humans are more civilize, humans can walk on two feet, not uncouth as animals and humans have opposable thumbs. Animals are more dirty, smell, uncouth and sloppy. Humans are more intelligent than most animals but animals have more strength than us. We are comparing humans to animals based on how the author describe the characters. It's pretty neat to see how some people can act as animals sometimes.  For example, the beginning of the novella Lennie was drinking water out of the green pool. Then the author describe Lennie as horse or compare him as a horse. Today, there are still some people in the world act like animals. For example, African kids are smelly and they are dirty. When they find food, they eat it like there was no tomorrow. It's abnormal to see people act like animals and yet interesting.
