Comparing the Novel and Movie of Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men

The common emotion these two dogs caused the narrator was embarrassment. In paragraph one, it talks about a Scotch terrier that had puppies out in the public. This states, “...my moment of keenest embarrassment was the time a Scotch terrier named Jeannie, who had just had six puppies...had the unexpected seventh and last at the corner of Eleventh Street and Fifth Avenue…” This would be quite embarrassing just due to the fact that it took place on a street corner. While the narrator’s dog was having its seventh and final puppy, there were people walking, biking, and driving cars. Lots of people would have seen this which would be a huge embarrassment to practically anybody. Also, in paragraph two it clearly states that the other dog, a large

In Chapter 25, Jack completes actions that are due to him finding Babette’s bottle of the tablet Dylar. Jack takes a tablet out of the bottle and brings it to Winnie, the neurochemist at the university. “What can you tell me about it?” Jack said to Winnie. The reason why Jack decides to bring the single tablet of Dylar to Winnie is because he is eager to know what the tablets actually do to his wife. Whenever Jack tries to confront Babette about the tablets, she always avoids the question and moves onto a different subject, which makes Jack even more eager to find out the reason on why she takes Dylar and constantly avoids the topic. Jack is very motivated to find out what Dylar is and goes out of his way to search for Winnie, who frequently moves her way across

Who is George? Well you might know him from the story Of Mice And Men written by John Steinbeck. If you have not read or seen the movie I suggest you do it is a great book. One of the best characters in the book that I think is George Milton. I will be telling you things about him in the next few paragraphs.

Of Mice and Men recounts the story of two itinerant ranch hands who, despite their apparent differences, are dependent on each other.

In chapter one “George heard Lennie’s whimpering cry and wheeled about. “Blubberin’ like a baby! Jesus christ! A big guy like you!” Lennie’s lip quivered and tears started in his eyes. “Aw, lennie!” george put his hand on Lennie’s shoulder. “I

“Am I my brother’s keeper? Yes, I am.” Scott, Jill “Brotha”. Since biblical times it has been debated over whether or not “I am my brother’s keeper”. In Mice of Men by John Steinbeck, he takes a deeper look at the meaning of my brother’s keeper. Of Mice and Men is based in California during the 1930’s. It is a tale of two friends who travel across California looking for work, and a place to call their own. While the story is mostly about George Milton, who looks after his travelling companion Lennie Smalls, who has a mental disability; the story is also about how Lennie takes care of George. For instance, they often sit and talk about how they have each other to take care of, and when Crooks makes it seem like Lennie is not coming back, Lennie almost assaults Crooks to protect George. Lennie, more than once in the story offers to leave George, if he feels that would be best, sacrificing his

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.

Although it would seem George betrayed Lennie’s trust, George was justified in his decision to shoot Lennie because of Lennie’s actions and safety.

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.

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.

the book they wear exactly the same thing, but as the film has to rely

On page 16, when they move into the woods, there should be a new scene heading.

Gary Sinise’s 1992 film changes scenes that cause sympathy, understanding of friendship, and tough decisions. In the novel, the theme is loneliness, which is expressed in many ways, but one is when the novel ends, Carlson doesn’t understand why it’s so hard on Lennie, which shows how lonely he was. In the film, the theme is friendship, which is most clearly expressed when the film ends and George and Lennie walk together side by side. Gary Sinise’s film changes scenes from the novel Of Mice and Men to fit the theme of friendship, for the viewers to feel sympathy for and to like Curley’s wife, and to show how tough it was on George to shoot Lennie.
