Comparison Of John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Despite arguments from advocates of the book, the film in fact offers an even more vivid establishment of mood through its splendid acting. The many talented actors in the film powerfully communicates the lonesome mood of the story. Their striking performances bring Steinbeck’s already exceptionally built atmosphere onto an entirely new, lifelike level. Mere use of words on paper is difficult to convey mood in such an eloquent and rich fashion. A major example of this is the outstanding performance of Gary Sinise, as George, towards the end of the film. In this tragic scene, George finds Lennie on their previously decided meeting place in the face of trouble. As the big man questions whether George is going to “give him hell”, the smaller guy’s

Of Mice and Men is a film about companionship and compassion. The combination of superb sound, cinematography, and the story makes Of Mice and Men an excellent movie. This film is about two migrant workers named George and Lennie. Lennie is very stupid and cannot fend for himself and George is his caretaker.George and Lennie travel to each job together. This is an overall great film.

The world would never change for you, so you know the importance of finding a best personality that fits you and pleases others. How should a person behave towards others? Mainly, you should know and understand them so that you won’t touch their hot buttons, in general you should act friendly, patiently and positively, and sometimes try to make yourself look tough. The book “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck reflects the present’s characteristics well. The book is about a journey of two men who are two totally different person: Lennis, who is a tall, strong man with a young child's mind, and George is a small smart

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.

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.
