Movies that have a dramatic scene are more attractive to watchers. In Of Mice and Men, written by John Steinbeck, the final dramatic scene is where George shoots Lennie in the head. George shoots Lennie to save Lennie from Curley. In the book, when George killed Lennie, is a more open area with greener grasses and taller weeds and bushes.
I think that throughout chapter five, both Lennie and Curley's wife feel regret through their actions, or their emotions. I think that Lennie feel regret on chapter five because of the fact that he just killed his pup, only friend, who he will no be able to pet the rabbit anymore if George saw what he did to the pup by accidentally. This quote“Why do you got to get killed? You ain’t so little as mice. I didn’t bounce you hard” (85) showed that since Lennie kills the pup that Slim gave him while he was playing too roughly with the puppy.
While reading John Steinbeck’s The Pearl, I noticed numerous similarities to Of Mice and Men. The first one being the strong emphasis on the importance of family. In Of Mice and Men, George and Lennie were basically family, seeing as how George never failed to protect Lennie, even when Lennie got into trouble. For instance, when Lennie caused a commotion in Weed, George stuck by him, helping him escape. In The Pearl, Kino struggles to provide for Juana and Coyotito.
Does the story end the way you expected it to? As I was finishing each chapter, I was predicting what the next chapter would be about, my predictions weren't so similar to the book. Although some ideas were not so different but not so alike. In chapter 2, when Curley was snapping at Lennie, I thought Lennie was done for, since Curley was the boss's son. But it wasn't like that, Lennie stayed with his job.
If your best friend jumped off a bridge would you do it too? A man’s best friend is his dog and in Of Mice and Men, Lennie receives a potential best friend, his puppy. In this story, we see numerous connections between characters, for example, Candy and his old dog, how Slim is a friend to his workers, and Lennie with his puppy. These connections are also similarities. In life, you create a connection with someone and you can gain similarities with them and through this they can potentially have the same fate .
Lennie accidentally killed wife of Curley because he was frightened by her screams and he knew George would be mad at him. He also was afraid that his friend would not allow him to care for the rabbits on their dream land. Lennie ran to the hiding spot by the Salinas River where George had established would be their “safe place”. While waiting for George to arrive, Lennie imagined his Aunt Clara scolding him and a giant rabbit tormenting him. Once George arrived, Lennie anxious about what George would do to him.
This also shows that Lennie and George have their ups and downs but in the end they have each other’s backs. Even if the decision is a hard
This story is based on events that occurred in the early twentieth century. The story is about King George the VI, and how he came to be the new ruler of England, and overcome his speech impediments. Throughout this process he will undergo changes, and be put in situations he would have never imagined being in.

Based off what the reader knows about Crooks from chapter four, the reader can infer that he would be the kind of person to join the NAACP. The reason for this is because he believes that African Americans do not receive the same things that whites do. In the text it states, “‘ This is just a nigger talkin’, an’ a busted-black nigger, So it don’t mean nothing, see? [...]
Of Mice and Men Essay Of course money and power is something so great to have, people often get caught up in their own world of making themselves happy that they forget about family and true friends that are much greater than money and power. Money and power comes and goes, while friendship can stay for a lifetime. Money and power is hard to get and even harder to keep it, while friendship is easy to find and easy to keep forever (Compound). Money and power will leave you lonesome and make you somebody you’re not just to please people, while friendship has somebody there to comfort you anytime, make you believe in yourself and bring the good out of you even if that means sacrificing a lot. Friendship is far superior than money and power ever was (simple).
No matter how good we act or how humane we are, due to our lack of personality and abilities, we can never achieve what we deserve. As individuals, many people do good deeds towards others every day, but nobody earns what they deserve. Everyone is a good person at heart and deserves a better life than what they have now, but due to our limitations we can’t always achieve them, similarly to Lennie and George’s situation as they struggled in the limited world in gaining money for a piece of land as “all men dream of”, “We gotta get a big stake together. I know a little place we can get cheap, but they ain’t givin’ it away” (56). In addition, no matter how good someone is or how hard they work, they will never achieve their dreams because dreams
In the novella, Of Mice and Men, the author John Steinbeck illustrates a ranch in the 1930’s during the great depression where those who fit into mainstream society run the show, and those deemed “outcasts” are rendered useless. Steinbeck depicts characters with setbacks that diminish their value in the eyes of society, and contrasts them to characters that have no difficulties conforming to the norm. Crooks, being a black man isolated by his race, and Candy, a elderly man limited by his age and missing limb are examples of Steinbeck characters that experience hardships because of the differences. The poor treatment of Crooks and Candy by the other characters, and their chronic unhappiness in a place that doesn’t value them, comments on how
The 17th and 18th century was the era of inquiry and thinking also known as the Enlightenment period. The Enlightenment caused people to think beyond the bible, to rationalize God’s creation. Instead, they used nature, science, and rational thinking to transform Christian Theology. Writers such as Pascal utilized logical reason to argue about God’s existence and if it matters if mankind believed in Him or not. Tindal views on nature to show God’s works and laws, not the bible.
