Pros And Cons Of Killing Another

Before Lennie was shot, Lennie killed Curley's wife, leaving Curley infuriated. Curley went after Lennie, George wanted to get to Lennie first so he said, “we come from the north so he would of went south.” George does this in hopes of buying time so he could get to Lennie first. By this time Lennie was long gone giving George plenty of time to reach him. To support my claim from my first argument i would state that Curley in fact was going after Lennie and George was postponing it as long as possible. After Lennie had been killed Slim was trying to comfort George by saying, “you hadda George. I swear you hadda.” Slim wanted to let George know that he had no other choice. I felt this was important to allow the readers to know that George made the right decision. To conclude there was not a mistake made by killing

Hunting is a common activity all around the world, and if performed properly, can have many benefits to us and the rest of the planet. The art of hunting has been around since the beginning of time. Living off of the land used to be a necessity across the world, until the mass production of food came along. In America, people do not usually need to hunt to survive. However, the population of animal species needs to be controlled. Too many of one type of animal can cause a drastic change to any ecosystem. Food supplies decline quickly, leaving many animals without food. Hunting can help keep the population of a group of animals at a good number, making the lives of the other

George saved Lennie by shooting him with a gun in the back of the head. It was fast and painless, but Curley had other plans for Lennie, “We oughtta let ‘im get away. You don’t know that Curley. Curley gont’ta wanta get him lynched. Curley’ll get ‘im killed”( Steinbeck 94). Candy knows that Curely will lynch Lennie if he finds him. George knew he had to find Lennie before Curley. George decided to shoot Lennie because he knew Lennie would have either been locked up in jail his entire life, or have been beaten up and lynched by Curley. After George shoots Lennie, Slim reassures George that he did the right thing, “You hadda, George. I swear you hadda”(Steinbeck 107). George needed Slim to let him know that it was the right thing to do. Slim gave George closure, because George was in awe. George realized he did the right thing after he followed Slim out of the

In America, deer are an animal hunted widely throughout our country. Each winter citizens have mixed emotions about the sport. Some say its barbaric and cruel, while others argue that it’s beneficial and useful. Although people may say hunting is cruel and barbaric, have they ever thought about the upsides to be gained from hunting? While this is a topic that can be argued viciously back and forth, I believe hunters win the argument. Deer hunting keeps the population down, protects farmers’ crops, boosts economic sales, betters a person’s mental health, and teaches lifelong lessons on respect. These are just a few of the amazing benefits that can be gained from hunting.

     Many conflicts start to pull George and Lennie apart throughout the whole book. George gets tired of dealing with all the bad thing Lennie does, therefore he ends up killing his best friend as much as he did not want to. When Lennie killed Curley’s wife George knew it was over so George decided to put a end to his missery before someone else killed him. George is forced to shoot Lennie in the back of the head because of the incident that occured. The men do not understand why a best friend would kill another best friend so they all leave in confusion. The only person who understands is Slim. Slim knows what George goes through and understands why he did it. Friendship has to end somewhere no matter how deep the friendship is.

Conclusion: George agrees. He raises Carlson's gun, which he has removed from his jacket, and shoots Lennie in the back of the head Carlson questions George, who lets them believe that he wrestled the gun from Lennie and shot him with it. Only Slim understands what really happened: “You hadda, George.(107)

In OMAM, George is like Lennie’s caretaker. Lennie doesn't know his own strength and doesn't know how to control himself. Because of that, Lennie ends up killing one of Slim's puppies and killing Curly's wife by snapping her neck. George tries to protect Lennie by telling him to go to the bush where George tells him to hide if anything happens. When Curly goes looking for Lennie, George knows that he will be found and that he will be killed. George goes ahead of the little sure party and finds Lennie and shoots him in the back of the head while he's daydreaming about the farm that he and George were going to have. Slim comes up to him and says “you did what you had to do.” George sacrifices Lennie not only for the greater good of other people, but also to save Lennie.

Slim said “Curley’s gonna want to shoot ‘im.” Curley also wanted to torture him. George couldn’t let that happen to Lennie. George wants Lennie to have quick and peaceful death, and he did. This is why I think it was the best choice for George to kill

some may argue George shouldn’t have shot him since they were companions. In chapter three slim and George talk about how Lennie is traveling around with George. Slim says, ‘“funny how you an’ him string along together”’(steinbeck 39) to George. Slim thinks Lennie and George's Friendship is unique. since most most migrants during the time period 1940's they usually traveled alone. From always traveling together George and Lennie have Built up a strong bond. However, Lennie had to die down because he was destructive. In chapter three Curley and Lennie have a heated conflict. Curley says to Lennie “‘Come on, ya big bastard. Get up on your feet. No big son-of-a-b is gonna laugh at me”’ (Steinbeck 62). Lennie after being hit over and over again, lennie grabs Curley’s hand and Breaks

Firstly, One of lennie's biggest problems is that he can't control his strength. Lennie has a mental disability and he does not realize that his strength could cause serious injuries. George is talking to slim about how they had to escape the last city due to lennie causing problems.

Even though he had killed Curley’s wife, he had no sense of what he was doing whereas Slim and George both knew what they were doing when Slim was going to kill the pups and George killed Lennie. In another part of that chapter, George was talking to Slim about his and Lennie’s childhood and how George “used to have a hell of a lot of fun with ‘im” (Steinbeck 40). George, again, knew that he was doing wrong to Lennie by making fun of him and making him do irrational things with other people. George had almost killed Lennie as a kid because of his arrogance. This connects back to the end of the book because George apparently did not learn his lesson from before that Lennie sometimes has no idea what he is doing and the mistake about Curley is no exception and in this case, George ends up finishing him for the mistake.

In the novel, when George involuntarily kills Lennie, Slim was the only person on the ranch who could understand his actions when the other ranch workers are not able to speculate that something is wrong, he says, “you hadda, George, I swear you hadda” (107). Slim’s characteristics and qualities of a true friend is evident in his ability to interpret the thought process of George explains that he cares and understand the reasons why George decides to take Lennie’s life. The symbolism of friends relates to one of the important themes of the novel, which is the importance of friendship. Although an unlikely pair, George and Lennie are great friends, with George overlooking Lennie, but shockingly kills him in the hunt for revenge with Curly. George is devastated about Lennie’s death, but Slim comforts him by saying “a guy got to sometimes” (107). As a result of the friendship, George was able to assure himself that his decisions are appropriate due to the confirmations of Slim. Slim’s actions relates to the importance of friendship, as he was able to understand George’s intentions to let Lennie have a painless death, and agrees that George’s actions were done in the best interest of

“Aw c’mon George, you are better off without him,” Slim explained, “He was a pain anyways.”

The piece “What If…” was found 2 May 2006 on the BBC News Web site by Daniel K. Sokol. It is an interesting set of scenarios based on having to make the decision between killing someone and letting them die. Ethical and moral decisions must be made to address each experiment. There is a difference between killing someone and letting them die, because killing them would be ethically and morally wrong, while letting them die may be considered something that was totally uncontrollable.

Buzzle: Hunting Pros and Cons. Last but never least, sport hunting should be banned due to the fact that it causes the endanger and extinction of animal species. “One glaring negative of hunting for sport is over hunting. This occurs when hunters kill too many of a species, threatening their survival.” (Life123). Species become endangered when they are over hunted, and if hunters take it too far, the species will no longer exist. “…there are many animals that have been over-hunted and brought to near extinction, one example being the American Buffalo. Another example was the over-killing of the Cougar. Although this animal was hunted to protect cattle from being attacked, it led to this species nearly becoming extinct.” (Buzzle) The substandard thing about species becoming extinct is that they might not reappear until millions of years later. Imagine how long that would
