Solidarity In The Film It's A Wonderful Life

(pg.106), to let Lennie know he wasn’t mad for what he has done. This making Lennie happier because he does need George’s approval because of his disability. That’s what George wanted was to have Lennie happy and not scared about his life at that moment. All George wanted was for Lennie to die happy, and that was the main act of kindness from George in that moment. He didn’t want Lennie to know what he was doing so he wouldn’t be so scared.

also George promised lennie’s aunt clara that he would take very good care of lennie after she died, “when his aunt clara died, lennie just came along with me out workin’” (steinbeck 40). Which he did for a while until he killed him to take away all of his pain and misery that he had in his life, also helping your friend is not a bad thing. Just because george was helping his friend he should not be punished.

Clarence gave George his book, and in it was written: "Remember no man is a failure who has friends. That was a lesson that George learned. His friends helped him in a time of need, just like George had done for them their whole lives. George learned that he really did have a wonderful life.

The struggle’s he viewed from the family he was staying with was that the father worked day and night, through sweat and tears, just to bring home barely ends meat. Their large family lived in a small house with a daughter who wished for nothing more than to be able to attend a university but she was prohibited as she had none of her paperwork. George also visited their family in Mexico and saw their living conditions there. He started to see the family just as human as he was rather then a threat to America. Although, in the end of the film, his realization was temporary because while he stopped being a spotter on the border, his attitude didn’t change much as he stayed with the

George knew that Lennie would be lynched, probably beaten and then killed if he was caught. Lennie, being more like an animal than a human being, was incapable of understanding his own strength and understanding the subtleties of life. George grasps the fact that he can't protect Lennie from society, as he also can't protect society from Lennie. George felt as though he had no other choice but to save Lennie from a cruel kind of death at the hands of Curley and his followers. It is a supposedly quick end. He even goes as far as to protect Lennie from seeing it coming. It appears to be an act of love. However, if they did escape, George knew it would be just a matter of time before Lennie had another "accident". As to whether it is justifiable

It also made Lennie trust him more, so he would not turn around to see the gun on his head. Lastly, George feels bad about what he did after his lowered and lessened speech, along with George looking down at his hands to signify that he regrets his actions. He does this due to the pure shock of his action rushing to his head. If George genuinely cared for Lennie, he would have cried or been more empathetic about him instead of heading to get a drink with Candy. This is abnormal in most cases where someone must take a life where they immediately feel a rush of sadness and shock to him, but he only feels the shock.

They had an American dream, a dream, a life they wanted to fulfill and they were working trying to make that dream come true. They wanted to buy their own land and have a house on that land, alfalfa field, and rabbits, chickens, and a garden. A place where they didn’t have to take orders from nobody. It was going to be their own place. As George was going on he said something that really hit me hard in the chest and it was these words, “Guys like us got no family.

George had two choices, either let Lennie live or die, he choose death. He also could have taught him better. John Steinbeck implies that most heroes in a story aren’t really heroes but are the anti-heroes. The reason why George is not a hero because he abused Lennie as a kid.

In It’s a Wonderful Life, the main character, George Bailey, is a good, giving man who faces a rough patch in his life. I think that this story teaches us a great lesson on being thankful. I liked the part when, at the end, Clarence finishes his job and earns his wings. The part I didn’t like was when George said that he wishes that he was never born. The lesson that It’s a Wonderful Life teaches us about thankfulness is that you need to appreciate how blessed you really are and not to take it for granted. To apply this message to our daily lives, you can focus more on the little things and not so much on the big things. You can do this by focusing more on the house you have and the food that is being provided, rather than focusing on if it’s what you like or not or wanting to own more. George Bailey never got the opportunity to travel the world and build skyscrapers liked he hoped because he feels tied down to the family company he never wanted to own and work for. As George Bailey got older, he began to see everyone grow up to be what they wanted, and he sees all of his youth and opportunities go right past him. George decides to end his life because he believes he is worth more dead than alive. When Clarence, his guardian angel, sees this, he decides to show George what life would be like if he had never existed.

     George was a very smart and able man who had taken responsibility of a mentally-challenged man named Lennie. George could have found a good steady job for which he could

The film It’s a Wonderful Life, displays how George should have appreciated how blessed his life already was. He is blessed because he has friends and family that care about him for all the help he has given them but he doesn’t acknowledge it, even though he should. For example, like the time when he saved his brother Harry from drowning and the time he stopped his boss from giving poison to someone and ending their life. Helping

In addition to the lifestyle George's music keeps alive, he is also very active in charities benefiting America's veterans. This is very important to me and I

Organic solidarity arose as a result of the industrial revolution when society became more multifaceted and new ways of working emerged. This saw a decline in the collective conscience regarding shared morals and beliefs as society began to progress and expand. The division of labour that arises as a result of organic solidarity is complex and varied, resulting in people becoming more individualistic and yet also interdependent. Society’s social bonds now centred around the fact that people were dependant on each other for the good and services required in their day-to-day lives. (McDonald, 2009)

Throughout the movie, the audience gets to perceive George’s dilemma in life. Since he was a little boy, George has been a good child: always willing to help others. He saved his brother’s life by jumping into icy cold water to prevent him from drowning, and thus he lost his left ear’s hearing; he also prevented his boss,

George’s good nature can be seen through the way he takes Lennie under his wing. For George, there is no benefits that come from taking care of Lennie, he just does it out of the goodness in his heart. An example of this can be seen when George helped Lennie escape out of the town of Weed, in which Lennie had been accused of rape for clutching onto a girl’s dress. Unlike Lennie, George does not have any mental disability and can perfectly function by himself. This is the aspect that makes him such a good person, because taking care of Lennie is just like dragging around a ball and chain. George could be living a much better life on his own without Lennie. To prove this, George even says it himself when talking to Lennie: “God you’re a lot of trouble. I could get along so easy and so nice if I didn’t have you on my tail. I could live so easy and maybe have a girl” (OM&M 7). Despite these words, George still takes care of Lennie because George knows that without his guidance, Lennie would be left to be taken advantage of out in the dangerous world. From George’s devotion to Lennie, it is shown that one who is good will guide others, even if it means sacrificing something he could have
