Here is my start to the essay- tell me if you think I'm on the right track, give suggestions for this paragraph and later paragraphs. Thanks so much!
If any fictional character has ever had a significant impact on me, it has been George from Of Mice and Men. I seek to emulate this character because he never fails to protect his disabled friend Lennie, no matter how frustrated and upset Lennie makes him. I understand how difficult it can be living with someone who is disabled. My brother Ryan has a language based learning disability which causes him to misinterpret verbal directions. It often aggravates me when he cannot do something at the speed or efficiency at which it needs to be performed. I always feel guilty for getting annoyed with him. The character George taught me that it is inevitable to feel this way and these feelings are acceptable, as long as I never stop caring for and protecting my brother.
