In the novel Me Before You and the novel Of Mice and Men, you can find many similarities. Some similarities include one person caring for the other both physically, mentally, and emotionally, having the same ending which is an unwanted death, both ‘main characters’ were hard working and had many things in common.
The novel Me Before You is a great example of showing how caring for someone not physically but emotionally also, can go a long way. For example, in the book, Lou tries to come up with ideas for Will, to try and persuade him not to end his life. While doing this, she tries some of these ideas out and some have worked out for the better and some for the worst, but the point is that she is trying to do something meaningful for Will. …show more content…
In Me Before You, one of the main characters is Lou Clark, she is Will Traynor’s caregiver and all she wants is the best for Will. Lou lives in a small house with her mother, father, sister and her nephew. Money is tight, and Lou had lost her job that she had worked at for 6 years, so she decided to go for an interview at the Traynor’s place and the rest is history. At first, Will was giving her such a hard time but eventually over time, he got nicer and easier to talk to. Then Lou found out about Will wanting to kill himself, so she did everything in her power to try and change his mind, she even created a list. “Go on a tube train ( most underground stations don’t have lifts), go swimming, without help, and unless the temperature was warm enough to stop involuntary shivering within in minutes, go to the cinema, unless guaranteed a seat in the front, or unless Wills spasms were low grade that day, go to the beach, unless your tiers were adapted with “fat tiers” Wills hadn’t, go shopping, go anywhere too hot too cold (temperature issues) (Moyes, 221)” This quote is Lou talking about some of the ideas she has written down. Most of these ideas have things that could go bad or wrong. When Lou got this job, all she needed to do was make sure Will was cared for, but she went above and beyond what was expected of her. …show more content…
But the biggest similarity about these two books is probably the fact that they both focused a lot about being selfless and caring, Lou had only just meet Will but a couple months of getting to know each other they were closer then ever, George had know Lennie since they were kids and that just made their bond stranger then
