Essay about Why George and Lennie Traveled Together

I believe that George, in no way should be punished for killing Lennie. He did it for the right reasons and it was best for Lennie in that situation. The closure George and Lennie hot from this ordeal was better, and easier this way for both of them. This is a little bit of information on way I believe George was justified in killing Lennie.

Although the answer to this question can be defended either way, I feel that George is justified in killing Lennie. Aside form the fact that Lennie has been and will continue to be a hindrance to George in both his personal and professional life, this is not George's main motivation for carrying out such a serious deed. Ultimately, George kills Lennie in a sense of mercy. Lennie, although he may have continued on living a happy, oblivious life, would most likely have found a much worse demise. Due to his lack of cognitive skills and his unbridled brute strength, Lennie continuously found himself in situations where not only did he do something that gets him in trouble or that he didn't mean to do, but angers other people in the process. In fact, when George ultimately does choose to kill Lennie, Lennie was essentially on the run. Curly and the rest of the people from the farm were on a man hunt to kill Lennie and possibly George because of the trouble that he had caused for all of them (mainly the accidental manslaughter of Curly's wife). They certainly would not have been as nice, comforting, or humane as George was in killing him. George did not see an end to Lennie's antics, and so "putting him out of his misery" was a way to protect himself from Lennie, but also Lennie from himself.

The friendship between George and Lennie had many significant things about it. They share much of a special bond because of everything that they have been through together and continued to go through. George and Lennie would look out for each other. During the great depression for the most, it was every man for themselves, people were just trying to make money and just be able to provide for there family. They really did not care about other people just getting work for themselves. But this was not the case for George, he stuck by Lennie’s side to take care of him to make sure that he was staying alive during the hard times.For example, when they had to flee weed and taking care of Lennie when his Aunt Clara died he was there to take him in and provide work and food

Lennie is a large slow and a bit childish due to his mental disability. George is small, rough, bright but short tempered man that travels and cares for lennie.

Then lennie says happily “But not us! Ah’ why? Because.. Because I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you and that's why” this shows that George and lennie have each other's back and they're basically each other's family and if they ever got lost or separated, they had a specific spot to go find each other so they wouldn't have to worry where they would be.

In “Of Mice And Men” by John Steinbeck, I’m arguing whether or not George should have killed Lennie. George killing Lennie was a good idea because Lennie was always causing trouble, which made George not be able to keep a job. It was also a good idea because Lennie was going to get shot anyways, and George wanted to do it instead of having people Lennie didn’t know shoot him. The other side is saying George shouldn’t have because it wasn’t right, and how George was Lennie’s best friend. George should have killed Lennie because Lennie kept getting into trouble, and kept making George lose the job he just got. “I got you! You can't keep a job and you lose me ever' job I get. Jus' keep me shovin' all over the country all the time. An' that ain't the

Although many believe that George killing Lennie was beneficial to him, his act of euthanasia was not justified. There are many controversies on the topic of euthanasia and whether it should be legal or not. In many cases the act was justified- it’s what they wanted. In other cases the act was not justified. A doctor or other person went against their wishes and ended their life without their consent. The doctor may believe that that is what is best for the victim at the time, but the victim and their family may say otherwise. There are also cases where the victim was not conscious and was not able to tell the doctor what they want with themselves and then it’s up to their family. There are times when family- or in Lennie’s case, friend- thinks they know what is best but they really do not. It could cause some legal issues later that could lead to massive amounts of guilt for ending that person’s life or even more legal punishments later on.

In the novella Of Mice And Men by John Steinbeck, the relationship between Lennie Small and George Milton is complex. Lennie and George are two companions who look for work and brave the hardships of the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression together. Although Lennie and George are both grown men, their relationship resembles more of a child and a single parent, or a boy and his dog. Lennie is portrayed as animalistic and childish through his behavior and Steinbeck’s comparisons. This reveals the crucial power dynamic in George and Lennie’s relationship.
