Of Mice And men is about two men who are always getting into trouble wherever they go. Let me start by introducing some characters to you. Lennie is the strongest man on the ranch but also the dumbest, George is the person who takes care of Lennie. George and Lennie have this special bond between them but George doesn’t seem to show it in the movie. One of my favorite parts between them is when Lennie keeps telling George about that place that they are going to get when the raise enough money, then Lennie says, “George, am I gonna tend them rabbits?” “Yes. Yes, Lennie, you can tend the rabbits.” The sound of the movie in every part sounded great! The birds, the rustle through the trees in the wind, the gunshot, horses galloping, the streams,
Relationships are based on give and take. Three things that Lennie contributes to his friendship with George and vice versa are easily shown through the text. Lennie contributes by being the main breadwinner, his strength, and how he understands George. Lennie is the main breadwinner because he is strong and a fast learner. Lennie’s strength helps and hinders the friendship. His strength can help with work but it can also hurt when he doesn’t realize how strong he truly is in fights. Lennie also understands George. George says multiple times that he wouldn’t be the same without his “brother”. George contributes with his brains, helping Lennie keep on track, and being a smooth talker. Lennie has got into a lot of trouble, but George is always there to save him. George is the one that is able to keep Lennie on track and get the jobs they need. His brains also help when he has to speak for Lennie, because if Lennie
The story Mice and Men is about two men named George and Lennie. They go through rough times together and always keep each other out of trouble, but make trouble together at the same time. They find work at a ranch where they meet new characters and situations.
There are more than 4.6 million people in the United States that suffer from intellectual disabilities. n the book Of Mice and Men written by John Steinbeck one of the main characters suffers from retardation.Lennie would have been better off in today's world than he was back in the 1930s.
In John Steinbeck’s work, Of Mice and Men, Lennie is compared to an animal multiple times which degrades from his sense of humanity and leads to a greater gap between George and himself causing Lennie to become almost nothing to the reader, and to the other characters in the story as well. While George has sharp figures and is precisely described, Lennie is shown as more animalistic, and not really given a lot of traits and characteristics. Also, the other people in the ranch/farm approach Lennie with fear and caution.
Lennie small is a large strong, and un intelligent man. He rarely thinks for himself and can’t hold his own. He does not understand Who you can laugh at or when you can laugh which makes him not have any social awareness. Lennie also never learns throughout the course of this story. He never learns to stay away from some people. For All these reasons we are sympathetic for him.
If you were mentally challenged and could not perform daily tasks like everybody else, would you want to be shamed and belittled to words such as ‘crazy’ or ‘retarded’? This was the situation for Lennie Small in the novel Of Mice and Men, written by John Steinbeck. In the novel, Lennie works on a farm with his friend, George. George and other characters in the book trivialize and dismiss Lennie as crazy, instead of what he really was; mentally disabled with cases such as Autism, Asperger's, or even mild down syndrome. Lennie possess many characteristics that are very similar to those who have mental illnesses. Also, during the time that the novel Of Mice and Men was published, these illnesses
Everyone has had a caretaker or guardian to protect and care for them at some period in time. Developing into an adult is often times when a person becomes able to live independently. However, this is not the case for Lennie Small from the story, “Of Mice and Men” as a result of his disability. Being dependant on other people, Lennie needs a caretaker because of the lack of family to protect him. Someone without family relation, George, rises to the position as his caretaker in the harsh, unforgiving circumstances they have at the moment. Dreaming of a better future, George has to carry Lennie from job to job in order to eventually collect enough money to finally claim their land as their own. George has good, honest intentions for Lennie and only strives to give him the best conditions even if it meant he had to pull the trigger against him.
I am arguing that he should of killed Lennie in the book “of Mice and Men”. I think it is a good thing he killed Lennie because I think if he was still alive then he would slowly start killing the animals and maybe even some of the people that lived on that ranch. "Lennie covered his face with huge paws and bleated with terror."(Steinbeck 63) Because he is scared someone will find out about him killing Curleys wife. I also think he should of killed Lennie because Curley hates him and he might do something to make Lennie suffer but George killed him quick. I also think he should of killed Lennie because Curley hates him and he might do something to make Lennie suffer but George killed him quick. This means that Curley would of done something
Big and Bad or Big and Good Lennie is a big guy who is mentally handicap and has no idea of his own strength.

During the Great Depression, the Western United States was a bleak and dreary place. Much of the working population at the time were migrant workers, who worked as farmhands for wealthier farm owners. These migrant workers often suffered from terrible working conditions, and horrendously low wages. As George and Lennie drift from job to job in search of liveable conditions and steady pay, they experience the cruel reality that moving up in society is near impossible. Even when George manages to find stable occupations for he and Lennie, Lennie seems to inevitably cause a disturbance, forcing them to abscond immediately. With the strength of an ox, but the mind of a child, Lennie is an oblivious destroyer, who gets little sympathy from
The trigger was pulled, which sent a loud bang followed by Lennie dropping down, saving someone from death. George was right to put down Lennie. It was the most peaceful way. Lennie has killed or harmed many animals that were innocent and even Curley’s wife an innocent girl. George can now stop running. George was telling Lennie about their dream farm and what Lennie likes the most, it was also something quick and painless. Lennie liked to pet soft things are not meaning to harm them. George can work without worrying about someone else to take care of.
George is described as a man with a restless personality, and sharp, strong features. The image of his restlessness and sharp features are fitting because of his high stress levels and anger problems. He seems like he'd be ready to explode at any moment from stress. Whereas the initial description of Lennie showed him to be shapeless, large, and heavy like a bear. He had pale eyes and sloping shoulders, and his hands described as paws as they are so big like a bear. This is a fitting description because of his child-like behaviour and mentality.
How would one feel if they were stuck alone with someone? Would they grow to resent them or care for them? In Of Mice and Men, written by John Steinbeck, two men, George, a man with a dark face and restless eyes, and Lennie, an immense man with sloping shoulders, go to work on a ranch after having to leave home when Lennie touched a woman’s dress and she told the police it was rape. They make friends with other workers on the plantation. They are both strong workers, but Lennie, however, is considered “nuts” when he does some things that get him into a lot of trouble. George gets frustrated with Lennie and disregards him, but George really just wants a solitary life and is really nurturing toward Lennie.
In the book, Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, the character George proves himself to be a good friend to Lennie for his three kind acts of admiration. In the beginning of the book, George promises Lennie a puppy and eventually follows up with it by getting him one. George promises, “First chance I get I'll give you a pup. Maybe you wouldn't kill it. That'd be better than mice.
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
