Comparison Between John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

George and Lennie were best friends for a long time, more like brothers. Lennie is about as bright as a 2 watt bulb, so George couldn’t really get mad at him when he accidently killed Curley’s wife while feeling the softness of her hair. “…’I ain’t mad. I never been mad, an’ I ain’t now. That’s a thing I want ya to know’”. The two had planned a future together—a future in their own dream ranch, a ranch where no trouble would ever bother them. “’You…an’ me. Ever’body gonna be nice to you. Ain’t gonna be no more trouble. Nobody gonna hurt nobody nor steal from ‘em’”. Then after he tells him about the rabbits that Lennie is so fond of, he shoots him in the back of the head where he knows it will not hurt him, and Lennie will not know what hit him. This is the peaceful alternative to what Curley had in store for him. Curley's exact words were "shoot the bastard right in the guts." George's euthanizing of Lennie makes the mentally incompetent Lennie die with dignity. Had Curley gotten to Lennie first, Lennie would have suffered. This shows you how much George cares for Lennie, no matter what he does or the crimes he commits. He’d always be there to help Lennie get right back up to his feet, make him forget all his worries, and move on like nothing happened. I strongly believe George was the right person to kill Lennie, and made the right decision in doing so, rather than to let him suffer in the hands of Curley.

Some people think that George did not do the right thing by killing Lennie because there were alternative options for shooting him. But, if George and Lennie decided to run away, they would be running their whole life, and if George decided to turn Lennie in, he

George made the right decision killing Lennie because the people that were looking for him and were going to slowly kill him and inflict as much pain as they possibly could. They were upset that he killed curley's wife so they were out to get him. George would of been doing him justice by just putting him out right then and there. He did the right thing because he just put him out without Lennie even knowing he was going to die. With George going ahead and killing him showed that he didn't want the guys hunting Lennie to hurt him and torture him. There was Really nothing he could have done to help Lennie so by just by killing he right there saved him a lot of pain he would of gone through if he had not done what he had

George made the right decision to kill Lennie. Now that George killed Lennie, George can live an easier life. He could live an easier life because without Lennie there will be no one to slow him down George has made it better for Lennie because he gave him a painless death. If Curley got him, Curley said,that he will shoot him un the guts and if he gets a shout in the guts he probably will survive for a while until he bleeds out to

George is an honest man taking care of what seems to be sort of like a dumb son and him killing Lennie was justified because it is something that is a personal decision and you cannot judge his decision because his decision was justified. Also he has to kill he does have a choice of Lennie dieing slowly and painfully, or quick and painless but he does not want to make the same mistake Candy made. Yet George did not keep his promise with Lennie’s Aunt Claire but he had no choice. Another reason is George wanted to be with Lennie on the Ranch the rest of his life with Lennie and them but he didn’t get the chance because of how strong George was. Still Lennie had so much to offer because of George and how he helped Lennie. Then killing Lennie is George's decision and point

Of Mice and Men is a famous novel by John Steinbeck. He gets his title from another famous poem named To A Mouse by Robert Burns. The poem is about a mouse that has built a nest. The narrator accidentally plows through his nest which, to the mouse, is like a home. In the beginning the narrator is telling the mouse that he shouldn’t run away like that because he would feel like he has to go after him. After that, he tells him that he is sorry that other people have given the mouse a reason to be scared of him. An example of why he should be scared would be the mouse traps we set up to kill them. The mouse has a reason to be scared and the narrator is starting to understand that. In the poem it says, “It’s feeble walls the winds are scattering! And nothing now, to build a

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.

Also, gave Lennie a more peaceful way of dying because he knew that he would suffer more if Curley and his group were to capture him.
