434 Words2 Pages

In my defense, I believe that George Milton should be punished just like he punished Lennie. Is killing ever justified? No, killing is killing no matter what situation you are in it is still justified as killing. In the novella, Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, Lennie brings trouble to the farm and George takes care of it the best way he thinks he can but now he is left friendless, the dream is ruined, and he has he has the same crime on his hands that Lennie did…

Do to George’s actions now he is friendless George lied to the guys about having curley’s gun “Curley asks did he have my gun” “Yeah he had your gun” He lied and said lennie had the gun and george took it away and shot him. By doing that george just lost his best friend because …show more content…

To addition of of what George did the big dream about living on the fatta of the land was ruined “ Now Candy spoke of his greatest fear you an me gonna can get that little place cant we George cant we” “Candy dropped his head he knew” “George didn't answer” “Then its all off? Candy said sulkily”. George didn't answer. George is paying a big price for what he has done and and now hes got the same price on his hands that lennie did they may had done it a different way but still both of them there crimes are still justified as killing…

So what was purpose of killing Lennie now that he has just murdered his best friend, lost his big dream and committed the same crime as Linnie has done. George should be punished because yes Lennie may have killed Curley's Wife but George shouldn't have took into his own hands if anything he should have turned him in rather than killing him, so if george thought Lennie has to be punished for what hes done and then turns around and does the same thing George should be punishes to to negatives do not make a positive!!!

So yes I do believe that George should have consequences for what he has done what he has done should be justified George has literally lost everything he had going for him or just had he lied committed a crime lost his

In the book Of Mice And Men by John Steinbeck, I believe that George did make the right decision to shoot Lennie, because of the relationship that they had. Previously learning from the experience Candy had when he let someone else shoot his dog, George knew that shooting Lennie was his job to do. In chapter three Candy says "I ought to of shot that dog myself, George. I shouldn 't ought to of let no stranger shoot my dog." , (John Steinbeck, 1973, p.58), this really impacted Georges decision on giving someone else the ability to shoot him.

While people think George made the wrong decision in the end. I personally think George made the right decision because he saved Lennie from knowing what was going to happen, George made it so Lennie went happy and quick without any suffering.

The main reason George killed Lennie is because Lennie would have killed somebody again. And the evidence is clearly there, the pet mice that he killed, the poor puppy that he accidently hit to hard, and especially Curley’s wife. He almost killed the girl in weed if he had gone any further. The sad thing is is that he doesn't know how strong he really is, nor does he know what he’s done wrong in the first place.

George 's act of killing Lennie was justified because George didn 't want Lennie to suffer and did what he thought was right.
