Of Mice And Men Movie Vs Book

Ultimately the book was fantastic but the movie wasn’t as far as good in my personal opinion. It was one of the best books I’ve had ever read. At first it goes slow but as you get to know the characters and the plot you get addicted to the book and can’t stop reading in a good

Lennie symbolizes ignorance. More specifically, he is the American dream. Lennie is an inadequate thinker, and more importantly, has little common sense. In this section of the book, Lennie killed a pup by playing with it too harsh, his ignorance and stupidity doesn't help: “Why do you got to get killed? You ain't so little as mice. I didn't bounce you hard” (Steinback 85). This justifies Lennie’s ignorance. Lennie's mind troubles to process little everyday issues, therefore, he has to have George to help him survive in a society of snobs. He’s incapable of doing things on his own, George is his mind and tells him everything of what to say and do. Lennie went back and looked at Curley’s dead wife. The puppy lying close to her. Lennie picked

The movie, “Of Mice and Men” portrays the harsh life of migrant farm workers in the 1930s. Directed and produced by Gary Sinise, it is a heartwarming movie starring John Malkovich (Lennie), Gary Sinise (George) and more. The movie, based off the popular and once infamous novella Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, talks about the working class in the 1930s when the stock market crashed. Overall, the movie depicts aspects of the lower class realistically, and how the two men, George and Lennie, go on their lives. The setting gives the audience a direct point of view of life in the early 1900s. By watching the movie, the viewers know that the plot is often very troublesome, since the two main characters attract trouble.

The 3 major differences that were seen are the shattering of the conch, the pilot’s presence, and Ralph’s attitude towards Piggy. Due to these major differences the novel left a greater impact on its readers than the movie on its viewers. Seeing the movie and as well reading the book, personally the book was a better. The book has a very different approach of that showed these 3 major differences to their full extent. Out of the two though, I would choose the book as more pleasant and

On Page 20, George explains why Lennie acts like a harmful kind of guy. No one believes George so he tells the story on why they had to skip town in Weed. Lennie saw a girl in a red dress walking down the street. When Lennie sees silky or soft things he likes to pet them, so he went up to the girl and grabbed her dress and the girl got scared so she started to scream. Lennie didn’t mean to hold on so tight but the girl screaming scared him so he held on even tighter. George saved Lennie and got him out of there and hid in a ditch. A couple days later, they ended up skipping town. This shows how Lennie acts like a violent type of guy. His personality and how he acts towards people who don't make him mad shows how harmless of a guy he can be. He almost seemed like a shy person who wouldn't even kill a fly. Once someone scares him like scream or yells at him, he becomes mad and holds on even tighter and won't let go until the thing or person will stop moving. Another way that Lennie acts violent in the book was on page 45 when Lennie and Curley's wife talking in the barn. Lennie acted hesitant at first because George saw she can act like a bad lady but Lennie didn’t think so. He petted the puppy and it kept squirming so he shook it and killed it but didn't mean to. Curley's wife helped him calm down and she talked about how soft her hair felt so she let Lennie touch it.

The movie was able to reach out to a larger demographic making it possible for this Harper Lee story to be so widely loved. There is always a debate whether a film or book was better. It is a personal preference that is as different as the individual. In my opinion, I prefer the film. The book was good, but the film brought the book to life for me. Maybe it is because I cannot fathom a time when people were so divided simply because of the color of their skin. Actually seeing it happen on the screen, had a more intense impact on me than when I read it. You actually hear the words, and see the hate, the hurt and the pain instead of trying to picture something it in your head that you know very little

When Lennie ends up crushing Curley’s hand. The whole scene is when Curley walks into the bunkhouse looking for his wife. He asks Lennie and Lennie doesn't answer so Curley gets mad and already wants to fight Lennie anyway so he starts punching him in the face and Lennie doesn't fight back till George tells him to. So when george finally does tell him to fight back the next punch that Curley threw Lennie ended up catching and he squeezed so tight on his hand it crushed it.

In the Of Mice and Men movie and novel the introduction moods and details have multiple similarities and differences. To start there are more details in the beginning of the movie. In the movie we start off seeing two men running away from a lady with a ripped dress and the men chasing them. Compared to the exposition of the novel where we start off with two men who “had walked single file down the path,” (page 2) a few miles south of Soledad. I feel that in the book you had to use your imagination to create more details due to the very discrete opening. Due to the details being very different in the movie compared to the novel, the moods were also much different. When we opened the movie we were greeted by a very ominous and energetic start

As well as the movie having some character differences, some of the scenes were either cut out or added. One of the major differences in the movie is that Candy never comes into the room when Lennie and Crooks are talking to each other. This is an important part in the novel because when Candy comes in, Crooks finds about their future plan wants to get in on the deal. Except this scene is cut short in the movie and Candy never shows up at Crooks’ house. Another important part that is changed in the movie is the ending. The movie never shows Lennie have the illusions of his Aunt Carla and the rabbits lecturing him while he is waiting by the pond. Also, is seems as though in the movie George doesn’t hesitate to shoot Lennie, and it is all over very quickly. Furthermore, the important scene when Slim tells George, “You hadda, George” (107), never happens in the movie, but instead it ends with an image coming from within George’s imagination, a memory of the many happy times that he and Lennie had shared. There are also some scenes that are added into the movie, but only because the novel is so short, they needed to add things to make the

After that George and Lennie board a grey hound bus in a town, it is

Lennie is an innocent, unknowing of what's going on around him type of person. All he really knows is that he likes things that feel soft and that is what ends up getting him kill. He is so focused on not having George mad at him and not letting him tend to the rabbits that he accidentally kills Curley's wife. “"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.”(xx) Lennie just killed Curley's wife and he has done a lot of bad things but never murdered someone. This is the last straw for George and when he hunts him down in the woods, he kills Lennie because he is at a loss of hope for Lennie. Lennie has a tendency to kill small animals by accident and

Lennie had accidentally killed Curley’s wife and many other small animals and If he were to be let loose it would most likely happen again. Lennie had many violent outburst such as when he killed the puppy and often times he did not understand the significance of what he has done. After killing the puppy the main thing Lennie focus on is tending the rabbits, Lennie said “George ain’t gonna let me tend no rabbits now”(Steinbeck 87). Along with others Lennie was also putting himself in danger. His difficult behavior, aggression, and lack of self control left him in a constant danger.

Lennie is a sweet caring guy who wants to help George get their dream house and own lots of animals, so they can own the fat of the land. In one part of the book Lennie kills his puppy by smacking him, just like if you mess with a dog they will get mad at you and nip you, but when they realize they are doing something wrong, they will feel bad and try to hide the evidence, just like when Lennie tried to hide his puppy from Curley’s wife. “We’ll have a cow,” said George. “An’ we’ll have maybe a pig an’ chickens… an’ down the flat we’ll have a… little piece alfalfa----” “ For the rabbits.” Lennie shouted as said on page 105. George did the right thing by killing Lennie. George killed Lennie because he killed Curley's wife, and so he can have a happy death before Curley makes him suffer for what he done to his wife.

Later on in the story Lennie kills his new puppy and Curley’s wife. “‘I done a really bad thing,’ he said” (pg.92) this was after he had killed both the puppy and Curley’s wife. George killing Lennie meant that he was putting Lennie out of his misery and preventing him from making even more

The final major difference between the movie and the book is Lennie’s personal sanity. In the book, the reader is given multiple instances clearly showing that Lennie is not totally there so to speak. The best example possible is when Lennie hallucinates about Aunt Clara and the giant rabbit. This scene is removed in the film and instead Lennie seems to just be a very confused person with a low thinking capacity. The film seems to try and have Lennie appear
