In the book “Of Mice and Men” written by John Steinbeck, George has to make a decision to either keep Lennie alive, or shoot him. I think that George made the right decision to do this because Lennie would have been killed anyways. The men were going to come find him, torture him, and kill him. Lennie was also out of control, he did a lot of bad things and even kills Curley's wife, he even says “I done a bad thing. I done another bad thing.”
Of Mice and Men Essay In the book Of Mice and Men the two main characters George and Lennie are faced with a hard predicament at the end. Lennie is the huskier, tall, friend that has a loving heart but doesn't know his strengths due to the fact that he is mentally disabled.

“She struggled violently under his hands. Her feet battered on the hay and she withered to be free; and from under Lennie’s hand came a muffled screaming” (Steinbeck 91).

Sometimes in life you have to get rid of the people who bring you down in order to succeed and go further in life. For instance, I use to have this friend and she would always talk me into doing bad things. So, one day I just stopped hanging with her. In the book George had to do something about Lennie because Lennie was getting into trouble and was going to far.
George, a quick witted caretaker of his disabled friend Lennie was a worker during the great depression. Lennie, a big built man with some sort of mental abnormality who worked during the Great depression as well. During this time and age every man was fulfilled with loneliness but somehow these two men stuck together like glue. Because of Lennie’s unnamed mental disability that allowed him to be extremely violent without realizing it in John Steinbeck's, Of Mice and Men, George was faced with an extremely hard decision. He carried Lennie's fate in his hands.
The author states, “Candy looked for help from face to face”(45). This reaction of helplessness mimics Lennie’s reaction when no-one, or nothing is present to guide him. For example, when Lennie is questioned by their boss on what work he can do at the ranch “In a panic Lennie [looks] at George for help”(22). In the upcoming quote, Steinbeck explains the toll of Lennie on George through an analogy, “His slapping shoulders were bent forward and he walked heavily on his heels, as though he carried the invisible grain bag”(45). From this quote it can be infered that man has been through a lot and has done a lot of working etc.
What is right and what must be done are two different concepts. Often times, life requires people to do what must be done in order to save themselves, or others, from negative consequences. The characters in John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men illustrate how people implement remorseful decisions with astute intentions to help ease the consequences for those they care about. Lennie is a sizable, amicable guy.
Payton Fox We all dream to move up in life, to pursue goals so that our life will be better. The story “Of Mice And Men” by John Steinbeck shares many characters that are all pursuing different goals in life. One of these characters is Lennie Small a strong good willed man who travels from ranch to ranch with his childhood friend George Milton. They want to raise a stake and own a land privately to settle down, but Lennie's basic knowledge of life is below average making him like a child.
Inside the world of zoos what you see is not always the truth. Behind the cages and gates, wild animals suffer from harsh treatments from staff members and even madness from living in small, enclosed prison-like cages. At the Scarborough Sea Life Centre located in Scarborough, England, the Humboldt penguins are given antidepressants because they are not “adapted to the rainy British climate, which is drastically different from their natural environment on the coast of South America.” (PETA UK). While zoos are a great place to learn about wildlife, the best place to learn about wildlife is in the wild and in their natural habitats not behind confined cages.
