Comparing Steinbeck's Of Mice And Man

Barack Obama and George Miller from Of Mice and Men exemplify the aspect of Hope and plans for the future within the american dream.

Americans often try to seek happiness through their success. In Steinbeck’s book Of Mice and Men, and Fitzgerald’s book The Great Gatsby both stories express the characters admiration of achieving the American dream. Both stories explain with example how setting, relationships, and Cause and effect all play a role in the destiny of each character’s American dream.

In 1920 women got the right to vote. In 1948 President Truman signed the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act. Jeannette Rankin was the first woman to be elected to congress. Women’s rights have come a long way, nowadays women are CEO’sCeo’s of companies and doing great things. Although it wasn’t always like this, in Of Mice and Men, and in Sojourner Truth’s Ain’t I a Woman speech women weren’t treated right. Men thought that women weren’t as strong as them, and couldn’t do a man’s job.

Nelson Mandela, the first black president of South Africa, once stated that “we owe our children, the most vulnerable citizens in our society, a life free of violence and fear.” Mandela’s belief reveals that society has a great influence on the minds of its youth. If children are protected from a life of violence, they will grow up to be a strong, healthy, and ideal representation of our world; in contrast, if the youth are exposed to violence and fear, they themselves will become destructive. Books, for instance, are a common influence on the youth due to their varying content. A case in point of books’ effects on young adults is the controversy over John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men because

In life you make many sacrifices, for loved ones, friends and the community… Sometimes there are sacrifices that might hurt a lot, but they are made to protect others. George’s choice to shoot Lennie after he had unintentionally killed Curley's wife, had its own personal reason.

Sometimes decisions are like a drug addiction. You know the choice you need to make (quit for crying out loud!) ,but it may be harder than you choose to think. You know you need to quit smoking cigarettes, it’s taking you down a path to life terminating lung cancer. However, you refuse to jump the derailing train, because your need is stronger than your desire to quit. Because Lennie’s time was out and his train was about to go hurtling off the track, George made the right decision to spare Lennie from the suffering that would’ve followed, and I believe that this was the right decision.

Lennie is the complete opposite character than George. George is a very small character while Lennie is very large. Lennie is big but he is not very smart, he has the mind of a small child. Lennie is mentally disabled so he has to rely on George for most of everything. George is like a parent to Lennie.

Human’s are individuals who thrive when met in cooperation with another, and individuals who can’t thrive when met with distractions that stop them. The book “Of Mice and Men” had many features of conflict that contrasted each other. Although Lennie made George feel special, Lennie’s accidental mistakes made George question himself of whether he should stay with Lennie or go on with life by himself.

When Lennie talks about how George has never hurt him, he was proven wrong later in the story.They were both having a conversation of how they wanna live on the "fatta the lan".When George heard the voices getting closer he got the gun and shot Lennie in the back of the head.He shot him in that spot so he wouldn't have to suffer.I think George did the right thing by killing Lennie.He had killed Curley's wife and he had killed a puppy.And George only did it because he didn't want him to suffer or get punished.They would have put him to jail or even taken him to an insane asylum.George did it for his own good.Lennie was pretty upset though but he knew he did the right thing.When Lennie and the imaginary rabbit were having the argument,the rabbit

The common emotion the two dogs caused the narrator is embarrassment because in the first paragraph the narrator quotes that “Scotch terrier named Jeannie was giving birth to six puppies in the clothes closet of a fourth floor apartment in New York had the expected seventh at the corner of Eleventh Street and Fifth Avenue during a walk she insisted the narrator take her.” This made the narrator embarrassed because she had the puppies on a walk in public. Then the French poodle was an embarrassing moment for the narrator when it was raining and the poodle had a red rubber bib tucked around her throat and he had to hold “a small green umbrella, really a parasol” and to top that, he walked into a garage with a man who saw the narrator carrying

Stephen King once said, “Books and movies are like apples and oranges. They are both fruit, but taste completely different.” The superiority of a film adaptation compared to its original novel is a highly contested topic. Although it is stereotypical to say that a book is always better than its movie; that is not always the case. The 1992 MGM film adaptation directed by Gary Sinise of the 1937 novel Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, is among the few adaptations that can compete against the book.

mother when she finds money lying on the counter. She takes it not even thinking twice. You can see the desperation in her eyes, along with the lack of remorse or regret.

This passage fit with the scene where Casy was killed because he was a “red”. He had a concept he knew that if people united they could achieve more than a single person or family ever could. His only objective was to help the people he had suffer with and was willing to risk his own life for it. He was just a man he had no more power than any other common man but he was brave enough to share his ideals and that scare the companies. It only takes one man to united the people.

Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck illustrates the downfall of two solitary men who have only each other to be liable upon. The greatest tragedy in this story comes from straightforward certainty that Lennie is left alone with Curley's wife in light of the fact that Curley's wife is the genuine scoundrel in Of Mice and Men; only she causes the inconvenience that prompts Lennie's demise. Numerous of George and Lennie’s struggles originate from things they cannot control, such as Lennie’s mental illness and the way that both men are stuck in the deadlock quest for rustic work in 1930's America. In his novella, Steinbeck analyzes the distinctive ways that men and ladies express their supremacy, whereas the men in his story depend on the power

John Steinbeck’s books The Pearl and Of Mice and Men have some similarities as well as differences. There is more correspondence between these two books if you sit down and think about it. They are not completely the same, they have their own twist to it. These books show the violence in ways we do not have to resort to.
