Comparison Of John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

On page 14, George and Lennie are talking about how they are not lonely like other men because they have each other. Also, this is the event where Lennie and George just escaped from Weed because of the incident Lennie had with the lady in the red dress. ¨Lennie broke in, “But not us! An’ why? Because… because I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you, and that’s why.” (Steinbeck 14). This shows that Lennie and George are protecting each other from opposing forces.

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

“Warren Lee Hill, a man with an IQ of 70, Was put to death Tuesday despite international protests that Georgia was executing a man with a child’s intellect.” Both Warren Hill and Lennie Small from John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, suffered the same fate of death. Both men suffering from Mental Retardation. George Milton murdering Lennie and, Georgia wrongfully “executing” Warren. Some people believe George was justified because he killed Lennie out of love, and it was the right thing to do for that certain moment in time. However, the opposite is true because George was not justified and should be punished for killing Lennie because he didn’t let the police handle the issue, Lennie is like a child in his own way and shouldn’t face death, And they could have just locked him in jail or prison instead of taking a life.

“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

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

Today, many are debating upon whether a certain case is mercy or murder killing, and it is very difficult to decide between the two.

They are very lonely because of many struggles they experienced in Soledad, their home. Lennie is completely dependent towards George because he promised Lennie’s Aunt that he would always protect Lennie. Despite their love and compassion, George often gets mad at Lennie which hurts Lennie. When they

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.

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.

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.

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
