Discussing The Relationship Between John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

Luis Irenze Hour 7, Millea George is small and very sharp, an opposite to Lennie his traveling friend. George's personality shows anger and understanding. Of the two of them, he is the one who thinks things through and figures out how their goals can be reached. Once Candy makes it possible for them to have a ranch, George finds where they will get the ranch, how long they need to work to pay for it, and how they will have to keep it to themselves in order for it to work for the next month.

1. There can be many different opinions on whether George made the right choice or not. We can infer that is George didn’t kill Lennie than Curley would have, and that certainly makes you think about this situation more. Near the ending of the book when they are down by the river you can really sense the despair in George’s voice. When george says “No, Lennie. I ain’t mad. I never been mad, an’ I ain't now. That’s a thing I want you to know” (Steinbeck-117). To me George is trying to tell Lennie how much he cares for him even though he has been a hassle. He wants Lennie to know that he is not mad at him.

The wind whistles past George’s hat as he walks up the dirt path side by side with Slim, his new found and probably only friend in the world after the previous events. Lennie lay peaceful in the clearing, relieved of any ill thoughts or wrong doings but he was dead. Lennie was dead as a doornail and George was the one who hammered him into this peaceful silence. There was so much sadness filled within George he couldn’t realize the freedom that he would now have without Lennie to look after, all George was able to think of was how alone in this world he would be now. His dreams had all involved Lennie and without Lennie there was no real dream to hold onto. As the world seemed to fall down upon George’s shoulders, Slim’s face seemed to sink as deep as George’s heart. Slim’s eyes were glossed over, how had it come to this? How had things gotten so bad? Slim knew by the way George was dragging his feet that he blamed himself for what Lennie had done and now he’d have to live with what he had done to Lennie. George and Lennie were like brothers, they had always had

I think people that are slower than a normal person should be treated differently because they need extra help and they always need people around them to take care of them. Lennie always forgot what George said. Lennie only remember George saying about tending the rabbits. Lennie went in Crooks room and Crooks didn’t want him in with him.

The unique traveling duo of George and Lennie helps add many layers to both characters. George takes care of Lennie because of a promise he made long ago. Lennie would most likely not make it in the world without George. With this being said, was George taking care of Lennie when he decided to put him down? I believe that George made the right decision in killing Lennie because Lennie would have suffered a worse death if Curley reached him, Lennie would almost certainly get into more trouble down the road, and Lennie would almost certainly be separated from George given the circumstances.

I have encountered someone who was considered mentally slow like Lennie. I had worked with her all through summer because I was her camp counsellor. At first, I was hesitant about what to expect because, I have never experienced being with someone who was consider mentally slow. I was very scared because they told me all these rules, and I though “oh my gosh I don’t want to mess this up”. When I first met her, I realized right away that she was the sweetest person I ever met. I treated her like all the other kids. She always wanted to be with me. On parents’ night, her mom told me that she always talked about me, and how I’m her favourite counsellor. My hearted melted from that statement.

Having to watch a best friend die would be on of the worst fates imaginable, but having to be the one to kill them is indescribable. The story of Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck ends with this scene for the two main characters, George and Lennie. Of Mice and Men is about an unlikely pair of friends, ranch hands looking for work during the Great Depression to finance their dream. George and Lennie struggle to find jobs because of Lennie’s mental disability and inability to grasp what is right and wrong. Finally the two manage to get jobs and are close to achieving their dream when things go wrong. Lennie accidentally kills another ranch hand's wife when he “had broken her neck” (Steinbeck, 91). George is forced to face the truth that he cannot

The general quality of John Steinbeck’s novels are to show the true side of human nature, whether that be how we treat others or our basic survival instincts. His books are still popular today because they express the realistic side of the human spirit, we are animals who want to belong and thrive among others. He was able to capture what actually happened in American life during the Great Depression and show that even the most powerful nations have struggling internal problems. In Steinbeck’s books he created sensible characters that lived in harsh worlds where they were exposed to discrimination, oppression, loneliness, and the fact that no matter how much they made an effort they wouldn’t amount to anything in the end. His novels were also seen as an influential standard for social and political issues across the United States.

Well for one lennie and george they dont agree to often well they do but its like rare.On the other hand tho you can tell Lennie and George love each other like brothers.In the text it states,¨Guys like us ,guys that work on ranches, are the loneliest guys in the world.They got no family.They dont belong no place.¨George said this and Lennie disagrees with him saying they do have a future indeed when he says,¨But not us why because i got you and you got me to look after you.¨Kinda saying they got each other and they got a future together.

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.

For this discussion, I as well chose to focus on the relationship between Lennie and George. As stated, you believe that George’s frustration is justified which I can also agree on. Adding specific examples from the text that support your claim, then highlighting reasons further supporting the examples, followed by justifications encompassing everything you presented was a brilliant way to present your opinion on this discussion. Well done! When writing my discussion response, I lacked the addition of as many direct quotes as you. The addition of these quotes provided evidence and reasoning which I believe helped to overall enhance the strength of your
