As with almost any written story and movie there are differences, some major and some minor. This is the case with "Paul's Case". The movie has a few new scenes in it, yet the text goes into more detail of what makes Paul tick. Now in both the movie and story Paul starts out at school for a confrontation by his teachers.

A coon dog and a tick, an oak tree with moss on the north side, a termite and its internal bacteria, and a shark with tiny fish that eat the extra meat chunks in between the teeth all have one thing in common: symbiosis. Defined as the interdependence of organisms, symbiosis is the basis of the relationship between George and Lennie in “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck. One type of symbiosis helps both parties while another type involves one organism being hurt by the exchange. The dog is hurt
