How Is Lennie Presented In Of Mice And Men

Gorge knew that Lennie was going to kill something else soft over time as they traveled together. He knew this because all threw the book it says Lennie likes soft things and does not realize how strong he is until that thing is dead. I know this because on page 83 it says, “ Why he died” “He was so little” Lennie said. “ I was just playin’ with him… and he bite me so I smacked him… an....

To begin, Lennie does not know how to control his strength and that causes him to be destructive. An example is in chapter five, where Curley's wife and Lennie are in the barn. Curley’s wife was too friendly to Lennie, that’s leads to Lennie touching Curley's wife’s hair, then Lennie grabbing her hair and accidentally breaking her neck. Curley's wife screams '" Let go, you let go!"' (Steinbeck 90). In this quote, it shows that Lennie does not know how to control his strength because if he did, he would've let go. Consequently, this cause a big conflict and a main reason why George was justified of shooting Lennie.

Lennie is attached to George because he needs him to survive but George also has an attachment to Lennie because he is terrified of living without him since he had always never had to focus on anyone else when he was with Lennie because of how consuming Lennie was therefore George will stick with Lennie through everything in life for a sense of security. Lennie and George were inseparable, and anyone from an outside perspective could see that. When George and Lennie first interview with the new boss, we can see George's protectiveness over Lennie as he answers all of the questions for him. On page 21, every time the boss tries to talk to Lennie, George answers for him. The boss says “You too” to Lennie while asking him about his previous work at Weed.

Part of Lennie’s character is being uneducated, and slow. Lennie is always forgetting important information. “Lenny looked timidly over to him.” “George?” Yeah, what ya want?” “Where we goin’, George?” “The little man jerked down the brim of his hat and scowled over at Lennie.” “So you forgot that awready, did you?” “I gotta tell you again do I? “Jesus Christ you’re a crazy bastard!” “I forgot,” Lennie said softly.(Page 4 of Mice and Men). As you can see this conversation of quotes proves many different points. First, it shows Lennie forgetting where him and George were

Braydon Gaspar Mrs. Harnet English 1 Period 4 December 10, 2016 Example 2 body paragraph Of Mice and Men is a novella composed by creator John Steinbeck, it recounts the tale of George Milton and Lennie Small, two dislodged transient farm specialists, who move from place to put in California looking for new openings for work amid the Great Depression in the United States. about two closest companions named, Lennie and George, that have been as one their entire life until they are isolated by destiny in the very end. Lennie and George are two altogether different individuals, Lennie is enormous and solid and is likewise simple-minded and he needs George to help him through life. George then again is littler and not as solid as Lennie but rather

In the Salinas River Valley, after the Great Depression, there were a large number of unemployed workers seeking jobs. In the fiction novel "Of Mice and Men," by John Steinbeck, Lennie Small is among one of those men. Lennie and his friend George both have just received jobs on a ranch as farm workers. What brings the two together is their dream to someday own their own land. Lennie has a lot of character and personality traits that define him. One trait that he has is he is very forgetful. Another trait he has is he is very curious. A final trait he has is that he is very reliant. Although he might not be the intelligent person in the book, he has a very well developed personality. Lennie demonstrates his personality and character

From the start of the book it seemed like Lennie had trouble controlling his actions he had to touch everything like a child and had trouble comprehending things. An example of this is when they were in Weed and Lennie touched the girls red dress and wouldn’t let go and the girl took it the wrong way and called for the authorities. As they are speaking about the incident George says, “Oh so ya forgot that too, did ya? Well I, ain’t gonna remind ya, fear ya do it again” (Steinbeck 7). George’s response shows that he is afraid that if he even speaks of the incident Lennie might do it again.

Lennie is very strong and huge. Sometimes he forgets how strong he is, which causes him trouble. “The next minute Curley was flopping like a fish on a line, and his closed fist was lost in Lennie’s big hand. George ran down the room. ‘Leggo’ to him, Lennie.

Lennie does not have very good social awareness.He doesn’t understand when the right time is to laugh and be happy. “What the hell are you laughing at? Pg 62 George said. Lennie was laughing at the wrong time and didn’t understand curly is a jerk and didn’t take anything from anyone. He was laughing at curly and it made curly very angry because he was looking for his wife. This made lennie get into a big fight and break curly's hand and lennie was just laughing at the wrong time.

This is why Lennie isn’t violent. Whenever Lennie does something bad, he suddenly thinks back to George, not being violent, or the fact that he just hurt someone. This shows that he can’t help the things he does, he always needs someone looking after him. One example of this is on page 91, when Curley’s wife starts screaming: “Please don’t do that. George’ll be mad.”

Well, I ain’t gonna remind ya, fear ya do it again.(p.13)” George has to remind Lennie not to repeat the incident in weed, but he also doesn't want to remind him exactly what he did so that Lennie won't try it again. A second negative trait that Lennie has is that he doesn't know his strength. “Don’t you go yellin’,” he said, and he shook her; and her body flopped like a fish. And then she was still, for Lennie had broken her neck.(p.81)”

Steinbeck first shows how Lennie never has a say for himself, but is always told what to do. Steinbeck shows this during the fight scene between Lennie and Curley. Throughout this scene, Lennie can not make a move until George tells him to, even though George is not actually partaking in the fight. It is not until the point when Lennie is pinned up against the wall by Curley that George exclaims “‘Get ‘im Lennie!...I said get him” (63). Steinbeck is showing that Lennie is not allowed to have a say in society. He is getting beat up in this scene, but since he has a mental deficit it sets him back from fighting and making his own decisions. Steinbeck is representing how Lennie and the mentally disabled have no power in what happens to them.

Lennie is a main character in the novel Of Mice and Men written by John Steinbeck. Lennie is described a huge man, with a shapeless face; large, pale eyes; wide, sloping shoulders; who walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws. Lennie is described as “strong as a bull”. He is a massive man and is “hell of a good worker,” but he is mentally challenged and not very intellectual. Like George said, “I ain’t saying he’s bright. He ain’t.” Since Lennie is mentally challenged, he has the mind of a child so he acts and talks like a child, and this causes him to also be very impulsive. He likes soft things like rabbits, puppies, and when there is nothing else as a last resort Lennie uses mice. Lennie is a character

Lennie is the most sympathetic character in Of Mice and Men because he’s not very bright when it comes to things and happens to forget a lot. As George and Lennie are walking to go to a new ranch George asked Lennie

Lennie Small has a very symbolic importance in the novel Of Mice and Men. In the novel George Milton and Lennie Small both migrant workers pursue their dream of someday owning their own ranch by travelling around working as ranch hands to earn a living. The dream they share is to be able to "live off the fat of the land,". Lennie Small is a very complex character, although he may not appear to be at first glance. Lennie is the most interesting character in the novel because he differs from the other is many ways. Lennie Small ironically is a man of large stature and is very strong. He is child-like in his emotions and has a diminished mental capacity. Lennie's feelings are much like that of a normal person when you take into
