Through the whole book George is helping Lennie get out of sticky situations, but the motif of Lennie getting in trouble ends their friendship in a very tragic way. Toward the end of the book, George had to kill Lennie, his best friend, because there isn’t anyway out of the sticky situation that doesn’t involve Lennie dying. After killing Lennie George was in shock of what he had just done. Steinbeck narrates, “But Carlson was standing over George.

In Chapter 2 of, Of Mice and Men Steinbeck uses motifs to describe the situation in deeper detail quite frequently. Near the beginning of the chapter Steinbeck describes a man “in blue jeans” (Steinbeck, 18) that was carrying a “big push-broom in his left hand” (Steinbeck, 18) He then describes the order in which “Behind him came George, and behind George, Lennie” (Steinbeck, 18) That also goes back into talking about how George is more of a “owner” to Lennie in their “a man is a dog's best friend” relationship. By stating that Lennie is walking behind George gives us the thought that he also likes to protect Lennie, just like a parent is protective over their child. Following on to later into this chapter, while Lennie and George are settling

George says that he and Lennie is cousins even though he knows it's not true. He also says that Lennie was kicked in the head, by a horse. He explains this because when there were having a conversation with the boss, Lennie didn't answer any questions that the boss ask. Infinitely George decided to answer for him because Lennie seems frightened of the boss. Then after he notice he wasn't going to talk and that the boss notice that something wasn't right.

One fundamental characteristic of a great piece of literature is that it employs the use of motifs to serve as foreshadowing within a plot of a narrative. This is indeed the case in the novella Of Mice and Men, written by celebrated American author John Steinbeck. He utilizes these devices, particularly when writing about the protagonist duo: George Milton and Lennie Small, two small town men, traveling from ranch to ranch with the hope of one day "liv[in] off the fatta the lan" (56). Steinbeck meticulously intertwines these two literary elements to "create. . . [a] structured narrative, [and] clues in readers. .

When Steinbeck describes the barn at first it was quiet and nature taking its course, but after it had a more darker atmosphere and everything was more sad and depressing. Steinbeck also talked about the horses because no matter what environment they are in they did the same thing they always did. I think the author is trying to portray Lennie as a horse as he put it in that way in chapter 1 and no matter what he does the same mistake over and over again no matter what it is.

The chapter begins when agents of the large company arrive, telling the residents that they must leave their own land. Since sharecropping isn’t working, the bank has bought the land to farm. The men representing the company are mean, nice, or cold, but none take responsibility for their actions. It is not their fault, as the bank is responsible, but the bank is simply an organization. Despite the pleas of negotiations for less crops, the representatives don’t bite and insist they must leave the land. The tenants argue that the land belongs to them because their families have been on it for generations, but the bank men reply with negative and trite statements.

When Lennie talks about how George has never hurt him, he was proven wrong later in the story.They were both having a conversation of how they wanna live on the "fatta the lan".When George heard the voices getting closer he got the gun and shot Lennie in the back of the head.He shot him in that spot so he wouldn't have to suffer.I think George did the right thing by killing Lennie.He had killed Curley's wife and he had killed a puppy.And George only did it because he didn't want him to suffer or get punished.They would have put him to jail or even taken him to an insane asylum.George did it for his own good.Lennie was pretty upset though but he knew he did the right thing.When Lennie and the imaginary rabbit were having the argument,the rabbit

Throughout the novella, Of Mice and Men, Steinbeck's use of motif reveals the theme of love and loss shown through George losing Lennie to keep him safe. In the book loss is shown in many ways and one way is towards the end when George found Lennie after he ran away and Lennie says "George shook himself again. ' No, he said. ,I want you to stay with me here.'" ( Steinbeck, 104) George doesn't want Lennie to leave him even though that might be what's best for both of them.

n the novel, Of Mice and Men, the author John Steinbeck explores many themes. After Lennie and George are chased out of Weed, California they travel to Soledad, California where they try to find a job.

Curley’s Wife was one of the many characters that Steinbeck used to get his point across about prejudice with. She is not a complex character, however ‘a significant figure’ may be a better fitting word. In my essay, I will be investigating if whether Curley’s Wife is presented by Steinbeck with dislike and/or sympathy, and if so, with how much.

When is the right time to give up a loved one? No one wants to experience the pain of losing someone. If they are in trouble of losing their life and can’t be helped, we have to pick what's right. Euthanasia is a drug used to kill people who are terminally ill and incurable. This medicine refers to George shooting Lennie.
