  1. Walter and George are different in many ways.Fist of all,Walter studies hard and gets good grades.George drinks and smokes.George and Walter fight alot and after the fight,George always storms out of the house.Either way,George is fighting with Walter, or his mom.Walter is very smart.He is always studying.After fights, their mom is always left crying,but it dosent look like George cares .George also wishes he could live in one of the houses he was sent to.

  2. George and Walter are different in many ways. One thing that I find to be similar in the two though, is their stubborness. They bicker and cause havoc a lot for no reason. George has always been the one with "brawn and no brains", but Walter has always been the intelligent one. George is often filled with hatred towards Walter because Walter is always the one who gets the books, the right schooling, and has the brain. George thinks he is just as good as Walter but, "Mom likes Walter better." I know that's not the case at all, and George clearly doesn't understand the condition his mother is even in. Then again, I'm pretty sure none of the kids understand. -Kristine Rupnarain -Kristine Rupnarain

  3. George and Walter are different even though they are brothers. They are constantly fighting. Walter is smart and gets more attention from their mom then George does. Goerge thinks that Walter is a mama's boy and hes jealous. George drinks a lot and fights fights with is mom even though shes in the state that shes in. George is never apolegetic to either Walter or his mom. They dont exactly understand each other and if they just talked they would be able to get along and not cause their mom any more problems. -Olivia Nembhard

  4. George and Walter are different in so many ways.First Walter is one of those kids who like to study and cares alot about his family.Otherwise Walter is a person who does drugs like smoking everywhere.When they talk to each other they start an argument within like 5 minutes.Then George is always on the go after they fight and their mom cries not nowing how to deal with them fighting but,soon they get over it and repeats all over again.

  5. George and Walter are very different from each other. George is older, he works, and he acts like the Old Man. Walter on the other hand is smarter and the he stayed in school to get a better job than George. George thinks that no one likes him and that everyone likes Walter better. George just wants more respect and Walter wants George to stop drinking and acting like his father but George thinks everything that he has done was right. George and Walter also fight a lot enough to make mom cry which is a big problem in the family because mom is constantly getting sick. George and Walter should stop fighting which will solve a big problem in the family

  6. Jennings two oldest brothers,George and Walter are diffrent from each by there presonality, because George is a trouble maker and cares about nothing or no one but himself and all he does is just fights with his brother Walter and his mom. Now Walter is not a trouble maker he is smart and according to George he relies on mommy to do everything for him. Like when George and Walter got home,they were all frighting with each other about how mom had left them so she could get some rest. But George was fighting with her the most.

  10. Jennings two brothers are different in many ways. George is the man of the house and he smokes and dropped out of school to get money to help his family move. Walter is the more intelligent one and didn't drop out of school but still had a part time job for the same reason. George and Walter both also fight with each other and with mother. By the end of every argument George is usually the one who goes "out." Walter on the other hand stays home and studies. The reasons why they both fight is because mother is always on "Walter's side." George thinks mother loves Walter more and thinks he is always right just because he is the smartest. But George just wants more respect. ~Cristian Barriga

  11. Jennings's older brothers George and Walter are very different from each other. George is the oldest of 5 brothers and is the "man or the house". George has a job, smokes and had dropped out of school. George is also very tough and not as sensible as his younger brother Walter. Walter is second oldest of the 5 brothers and is smart, still in school, and studies. George and Walter fight very continuously and argue to the point where their mother will sometimes break down and cry. George also thinks of his brother Walter as a "mama's boy" cause of Walters frequent sticking up for his mother. George also feels that his mother shows more love and affection towards his brother Walter. The two brothers have a very troubled relationship and are VERY unalike.

  12. Jennings's two oldest brothers are George and Walter. They both play an important part in the book. They also have similarities and differences. George and Walter almost always quarrel and bicker and argue on nonsense. They both have black hair and are tall. Jennings says they look very much alike. George has a lot of pimples on his face and is skinnier then Walter, who has glasses and smooth skin. George smokes alot and is the "brawn" one while Walter was the "brainy" one and studies alot. When they argue, each thinks their point is correct. I think the way they handle things together is "cheesily terrible." Their negative arguments "coagulates" the positive joy around them. What do you think?

  13. The two differences between Jennings brothers, George and Walter is that they both come from different sides. Its like their personalities clash. Since one brother is the smart one the other feels like a waste or just plain dumb. Like one is better then the other and then the other, just doesn't care anymore. They bud heads so much that they barely talk and when they do they 're usually arguing. They're both stubborn headed to even listen to each other. Walter seems to be the resourceful one apparently. Then George is not the best person for school so helps out mom financially. So even though they but heads it kind of levels out since they both some how helping the family progress.

  14. George and Walter are different in many instances in which case Jennings describes them. First George and Walter aren't the same age. For example, George is 15 and Walter is 14. Then, they have different personalities. For instance, Walter is intelligent were George may be as smart as Walter but doesn't try as much or doesn't even care if he is smart. Finally, they both don't know it but there stubborn with each other, argue like little kids or thinks one is better than the other. For example, When Walter thinks he is smarter then George ,George can actually be as smart as him but doesn't try.
    In conclusion George and Walter both are different in ways that make them sound the same but are different in their own ways.

  15. George and Walter are very different in many ways. For example George drinks and Walter does not and they both have different ages. George is bossy and mean while Walter is not and Walter goes to school while George does not. Also George and Walter usually fight and do not talk much with each other.This is why George and Walter are very different

  17. The differneces between George and Walter is that Walter is very smart and does very good at school and is always studing and George does not do very good in school and he also smokes. He could be a smart kid put he really doesn't want to try.Also Walter is 14 and George is 15 and his mom still lets him smoke. This two brothers are also always argueing about stuff that is stuped. I think that they argue because they want to non as better the each other.

  19. George and Walter are very different from each other because George is more unlikely to be studying hard like Walter does. Walter i think is a person who takes his education serious for more opportunities in life. George in the other hand thinks that its not all that important. George is probably lacking in school and seems to not matter to him. So both are very different than each other

  24. George and Walter are different from one another in many ways.One example of their differences is that one of the brothers,Walter studies while on the otherhand George does the opposite and does not study.instead George smokes cigarettes eventhough he is only 15.Although they are different from eachother they have one thing in common,they both argue ALOT.They argued with their mother about how she could leave them living somewherre else instead of the house.According to Larry,George and Walter fight about "nothing".

  26. George and Walter are different in many ways. Walter is the more educated, "good guy" type. George is the "bad guy," getting drunk all the time, and not caring about school. George was influenced by his old man, the other drunk. This is the reason why George and Walter always fight. Walter does not like his old man. He hates him.

  27. The difference between George and Walter is that George smokes and drinks and is constantly fighting with Walter and their mother. Walter focuses more on his education and studying for school. George is barely in the house because he's either working or drinking with his friends. Both brothers try to help the family, but they're are too young to play the role of the man of the family.

  28. The diffrence between george and walter is that george likes to smoke and drink almost every night and thats why he get mad all the time. An other reason why george is diffrent from walter is because he does not like school but walter does love school. Walter has so many diffrences from george and that is that walter say's that school is the most important thing in the world. Walter tries to help the family more than george does because he cares more about his family.

  29. George and Walter have many differences even if they are brothers.George drinks and smokes all the time but his mom does not really care.George does not care about school or grades,and he always aruges with his mom and Walter is the only one who backs-up mom.Wslter is the more intelligent brother who gets good grades and cares about school.The only thing similar between these brothers is that they like to fight. It is always non-stop fighting for these two brothers.The only hard-working brother in this family is Walter. I do not think that any of these brothers feel "apologetic" for their mother in what she is going through.These two brothers play a special role in this book and my favorite is Walter.I would definetly not chose George and who would.

  30. George and Walter are different in many ways. For example, George overseas most of the financial responsibilities of the family while Walter is always focusing on his books and school work...perhaps too much at times. Walter tries hard but his problem is that he's out with his father drinking and will probably become an alcoholic.

  31. Even though George and Walter are brothers they dislike each other and dont get along very well.They are always fighting.Walter is the smart one in the family,he's always in his books and studying.On the other hand George is not always studying and he does not care abot school work.His intrest are smoking and drinking and his mom doesn't care because he is the oldest boy in the family which make him the man of the house.when they fight it makes their mother upset and she wants to cry,and she feels as if she is not doing her best to suppot them.

On the other hand George only cares about drinking,somking and the family while Walter studys and cares alot about his grades and school.George always fight with his mom and Walter. If I was the mom i would of kicked George out of the house untill he got his act togather. -Mya B Washington

  33. Walter and George are different and similar. First they are because they both are stubburn to their mom. They both though follow a differrent path. Walter is a typical student who reads like Ponyboy. George is basically the town drunk and is always has something to say.

  34. Walter and George have many differences... George is the typical 5 year old that smokes drinks and is very disobidient to hismother. He not taking being considerate doesnt realize that its only mom struggling to do eveything n its very hard for her. Walter is the 14 year old who constantly fights and argues with george. They get at it all the time. Although he does this, he is very bright in school. He does his work he listens and his school work is excillent

  36. The difference between George and Walter,Jennings brother is that George is 15 and Walter is 14.Another difference is that George thinks he's older and better than everybody,he also drinks.While Walter,just studies.So you can say that George is the bad boy of the story and Walter is the bookworm.
