Comparison Of John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

The common emotion these two dogs caused the narrator was embarrassment. In paragraph one, it talks about a Scotch terrier that had puppies out in the public. This states, “...my moment of keenest embarrassment was the time a Scotch terrier named Jeannie, who had just had six puppies...had the unexpected seventh and last at the corner of Eleventh Street and Fifth Avenue…” This would be quite embarrassing just due to the fact that it took place on a street corner. While the narrator’s dog was having its seventh and final puppy, there were people walking, biking, and driving cars. Lots of people would have seen this which would be a huge embarrassment to practically anybody. Also, in paragraph two it clearly states that the other dog, a large

The book and the movie Of Mice and Men were similar in many ways. While watching the movie, I would remember many things said that came right out of the book. For example, Lennie went straight to the water and drank right out of it. Another thing that was the same was when Lennie and George were sitting by the fire, George told Lennie that they were going to have beans for supper. Lennie kept saying that he liked his beans with ketchup, but they didn’t have any. I also remember when Carlson was begging Curley to let him shoot his dog. Finally Curley gave in, but he wasn’t very happy about it. The last similarity I’m going to talk about is the time Lennie broke Curley’s hand. I think that this was a very important part in the story because

Although it would seem George betrayed Lennie’s trust, George was justified in his decision to shoot Lennie because of Lennie’s actions and safety.

Sometimes decisions are like a drug addiction. You know the choice you need to make (quit for crying out loud!) ,but it may be harder than you choose to think. You know you need to quit smoking cigarettes, it’s taking you down a path to life terminating lung cancer. However, you refuse to jump the derailing train, because your need is stronger than your desire to quit. Because Lennie’s time was out and his train was about to go hurtling off the track, George made the right decision to spare Lennie from the suffering that would’ve followed, and I believe that this was the right decision.

Lennie is the complete opposite character than George. George is a very small character while Lennie is very large. Lennie is big but he is not very smart, he has the mind of a small child. Lennie is mentally disabled so he has to rely on George for most of everything. George is like a parent to Lennie.

I believe that George should have killed Lennie rather than, the ranch hands. I think this because that Ranch hands would have hurt Lennie but they were still going to kill him. George killed Lennie quick and painlessly, if it were the ranch hands Lennie would have suffered, with George he did not even know he was going to die. Know George could have just let Lennie run and hope that no one finds him, but George even said himself “ Lennie you can’t do anything without me”, or something like that. If George would have let Lennie run it is very likely that he would either, die from starvation, or get in trouble and just keep getting in trouble, or he kills another person again on accident and gets killed from that. Either way Lennie is screwed

Human’s are individuals who thrive when met in cooperation with another, and individuals who can’t thrive when met with distractions that stop them. The book “Of Mice and Men” had many features of conflict that contrasted each other. Although Lennie made George feel special, Lennie’s accidental mistakes made George question himself of whether he should stay with Lennie or go on with life by himself.

We as people often interpret ourselves as powerful but yet powerless. In the book Of mice and men and the poem “To a mouse” both demonstrate how not only people are powerless and powerful but how emotions can be too. Both, the book and the poem show these ways through feelings, actions, and their thoughts.

George is Lennie’s best friend and his only friend. He looks out for Lennie and takes care of him. George is a much smaller guy than Lennie but is like Lennie’s older brother. He does all the thinking for Lennie; he feeds Lennie, and does what’s best for Lennie. Unlike Lennie, George is all there in the head that is why George watches over Lennie and protects him. George does what’s best for Lennie.

Of Mice And Men, both the movie and the book are of great quality and go into the vast detail of the characters and the main themes in both of these great works. Since this is a report is is based off of an opinion, and means by no means, any offence to either the book or the movie. This report will be about the movie and the book.

Throughout the history of the world, people with mental disabilities have been wrongly punished for their behavior. Unfortunately, this continues even today. Lennie Small in John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men along with Miguel de Cervantes’s Don Quixote from The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha are both examples of this unjust treatment. Don Quixote sees himself as a gallant knight in a world where knight-errantry has become extinct. On the other hand, Lennie is a child in an adult’s world. Due to not seeing the world as it is “supposed” to be, both are punished by the people for their misguided actions.

The Novel, “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck, was published during the 1930s, though it is still a topic of discussion today. Teachers and Professors have been arguing about the novel, they debate whether the book should be taught in school. Due to its excessive profanity, some teachers are not willing to teach it. The book should be taught in school because it teaches a valuable lesson of social and personal responsibility.

Of Mice And Men is a book and later turned into a movie. It is a story about two guys that look out for each other. I will be talking about the differences. They got into some trouble so they went looking for a new job. The movie from 1992 is the most accurate of the two. John Steinbeck is the author of the book. In the movie it stars John Malkovich and Gary Sinise.

Imagine having to shoot your own best friend in their head to stop them from hurting other people. Well, that is what happened in Of Mice and Men. This story takes place on a ranch in California around the year 1930. Two men, George and Lennie, had a dream. A dream that others say is a realistic dream and others don’t. Lennie does not function like everyone else. He is still a good guy with good intentions. George is almost like Lennie’s babysitter and always has his eye on Lennie, making sure he does not get in trouble. Their dream is then corrupted by the wrong doings of Lennie. Their dream was very realistic, but a few things got in the way and ruined the dream. Their dream was to live on a farm and for Lennie to tend his rabbits.

Of Mice and Men is a book written by John Steinbeck in the year 1992, transformed into a film. It seems as if the book itself is coming alive while following along with the movie. This movie acts as a front row seat for you to witness and embark on the journey with George and Lennie. These are two men that differ greatly from each other, but both find a common interest in the other. George a well rounded young man, not quick to talk but is always ready to work. While his clueless companion Lennie Small followed close behind.
