Lennie Monologue For Of Mice And Men

On a calm afternoon, Lennie looked at the river one last time before unexpectedly being shot in the head. My client, George, killed him. Yes, this was tragic :however, my client had a reason. George and Lennie were best friends almost like brothers. They protected each other's lives and reputation. Many would asked, “Well, why would he kill his best friend?”. I will tell you why,he did it to protect Lennie. “And George raised the gun and steadied it,and he brought the muzzle of it close to the back of Lennie’s head. The hand shook violently but, his face set and his hand steadied.He pulled the trigger. The crash of the shot rolled up the hills and rolled down again. Lennie jarred and then settled slowly forward to the sand,and he lay without

See your honor and jury, Lennie accidentally killed a young lady named Candy, who was the owner's son Curley’s wife. She was very friendly to Lenny and she had fluffy hair.

He did not want his friend to suffer the hand of

There is yet another reason why George had to take Lennie’s life. George knew that the society did not treat persons who were mentally disabled with care or respect.
