George could have had a life if it weren’t for Lennie, and that was what he sacrificed. At the end of the book, George makes the decision to

Francisco is his schools basketball star, Reingbow is his girlfriend, and Vincent is his best friend. In the following paragraphs, I will be explaining how the characters in the book experienced losing and gaining friendships, experiencing adversity, and jealousy. The main idea of this book concerns

At this point in time George is still acting as if everything is fine and that their friendship is as strong as ever. George having the gun tries to shoot Lennie many times before he actually does so, “George raised the gun and his hand shook, and he dropped his hand to the round again.” He cannot bring himself to do it as they’ve been friends for so long. Loneliness rules the end of the novel as George had been a character with support throughout the novel but now he has murdered Lennie and therefore he doesn’t have someone he can properly trust. When the workers find George they assume that he got the gun off Lennie and shot him in self-defense so only Slim really knows what has happened. Slim is the only one that really understands the friendship between George and Lennie and this is significant at the novels ending, “Never you mind. A guy got to sometimes.”

But this changes a fair amount by the end of this story. After the death of his wife he seemed to be instantly distraught and deranged, the first time we hear from him after the fact, he just sounds like an absolute lunatic. Going on about dog collars and just random things until he deduces who “killed his wife”. In a later chapter he is talking to his friend, while his friend just tries to calm him down, George was already too far gone and made his mind up to take action against his wife’s killer.

By shooting Lennie, George spares his friend the merciless death that would be delivered by Curley's lynch mob. He also puts to rest his own dream of a perfect, congenial world. George came to the verdict that he should kill Lennie due to his past actions. He learned this when Carlson killed Candy's

George is basically your average guy and he has known Lennie for a long time and he knew Lennie’s aunt and he promised Lennie’s aunt that he would take care of Lennie and make sure nothing happened to him, Well George did this for a long time and well over the time he should have had to take care of Lennie and there are those times where you have to break a promise as long as it’s for the right reasons. And as said in the story by George “’if I didn’t have you at the end of the week I could take my fifty bucks and

Vallero dedicated to the unforgettable American jazz player and preminently representative of the Excelsior accordions, Art Van Damme, Art Van Damme, the King. Their friendship is still shown by their intense exchange of letters. Among Vallero’s recent compositions, there are thirteen pieces for accordion and these, except for the mazurkas Ok Dante (music by Luca Zanetti), La Quiete (music by Giovanni Vallero) and the waltz Cascina Rubello (music by Giovanni Vallero), are composed in association with his former student and now internationally renowned accordionist, Luca Zanetti.

Two hours after George killed Lennie, George was at the bar with Curley and Slim to get a drink, and the three began talking about Lennie, making George start to think if he had done the right thing by shooting Lennie in the head. After the three left the bar, George walked out onto the street and saw Curley's wife walking down the street. George decided to shrug it off and told himself that it was all part of his imagination, and George returned to his house. Three years later, George had built the house by the lake that Lennie had wanted, and George had buried Lennie's body in the backyard. Later, George had decided to go to the bar to get a drink, when he got to the bar he saw Slim and Carley, and Curley's wife all talking with each other. When the group saw George, he was in awe "I thought that Lennie killed you..." he said to Curley's wife, Curley replied excitedly "Nope, i'm not sure how but she is alive!" George was still confused, then Slim said "Stop asking so many questions and come have a drink" George had then began thinking about how the only reason he killed Lennie was because Lennie went too far to save by killing Curley's wife. After that, George had began disconnecting himself with the rest of the group because he had become depressed after he had learned that Lennie wasn't a murderer. Just as George was thinking about how he shouldn't have killed Lennie, he heard a knock on his door, and he went to see who it was, Curley's wife was at the door with Slim, and both were looking sad. George had opened the door for them, and said "What happened?" Curley's wife looked back at him, and informed him that Curley had been murdered. George beckoned the two inside is house, and said "Come in, do either of you want anything to drink?" Curley's wife shook her head Slim walked her inside. The three sat down at a table in George's house "Tell me what happened" George said nervously, Curley's wife replied, "I was having an argument with Curley and he had gotten angry and stormed off, later, when i went looking for him, I found him in the ranch, with an axe wound in his head." Curley's wife started crying and Slim looked at George, "She came to me and told me the story, then asked

By choosing to shoot Lienne he showed that he is a man that loves his friend and he couldn't bare to see his friend harmed. George will probably walk the earth sad and alone because he will always think of his friend. He will work every month and at the end of that month he will go to a “cat house” and waste all his money on women and wine. “I could go get a job an' work, an' no trouble. No mess at all, and when the end of the month come I could take my fifty bucks and go into town and get whatever I want. Why, I could stay in a cat house all night. I could eat any place I want, hotel or any place, and order any damn thing I could think of. An' I could do all that every damn month. Get a gallon of whisky, or set in a pool room and play cards or shoot

When the men were done playing horseshoes, they had found the body. George figured out what had happened first and took off looking for him, while the men set, out as a mob with guns, intending to murder Lennie. When George found Lennie, he knew he had a decision to make, he either had to kill him, or let the mob do it in a very cruel manner. He decides it would be better if he killed Lennie himself. First he calmed him down, then did what had to be done,
