Beverly Jimenez, also known as, ‘Dr.Sissy’, stretches out of her petite, cozy office and steps into the ample operatory with dark orange walls and sticky purple chairs. Sounds of suction and the metal clanking of tools can be heard. She is asked to take a look at her patient's teeth whenever she is ready. She takes a seat on the low stool and opens her metal tools from their blue transparent package. She begins to examine the teeth of a young girl.
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.
The vocabulary used by Lennie is not the best. The characteristics of Lennie shows that he is not the brightest person. He was drinking lake water that was not clean. He ened up putting his hat in all and took a big gulp from the water. There is are mistakes made by Lennie throughout the book.
PERSUADABLE Within this novel, we see Lennie be persuaded into many different problems. One of the first instances of this is when George encourages Lennie to fight back against Curley. (Page 63 paragraph two) “Get him, Lennie. Don’t let him do it.”
We can make the situation end differently, but George being his friend and knowing the conditions that Lennie is in I think it was a way of ending the story. George didn 't want Lennie to suffer .So he decided to just shoot him. They could 've just let him go to jail but he would suffer. He could either die in jail by other inmates, get executed if he resisted.
Lennie on the other hand is Large, strong, but is mentally slow and cannot seem to fully comprehend all situations. Lennie loves to pet and hold soft things, whether it is a dead mouse, a nice dress, or even a puppy. Lennie also does not know his own strength, and these two characteristics that Lennie possesses makes him a somewhat dangerous man. George and Lennie head to a ranch so they can acquire enough money for their dream job of owning their own ranch, where Lennie can tend to the rabbits, and where no one is the in charge of them. At the farm they met many characters.
In the novella Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck George and Lennie wanted to live the american dream of owning their own property. But they have to do jobs on ranches before they can achieve that goal. George did the right thing shooting Lennie. My reasons for it being the right thing to do would be that If he hadn’t someone else would have and Lennie held George back and my final reason is that he’d get into more trouble if they’d gotten away. Others may claim that George should’ve let Lennie live and tried to get away.
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.
He is gone. Lennie is dead. He has no future. His goals never to be achieved. George pulled the trigger, shot one bullet to end Lennie’s life.
In Soledad California, during the 1920’s we find George and Lennie, the two main characters. Two friends that have a very unique relationship. George is a short man with sharp features and quick wits, where as Lennie is a big man with a round face and is a just like a large child. They are lowly workers that bounce from ranch to ranch looking for work, in search of their unique american dream. In Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, George becomes more understanding and friendly towards Lennie through the beginning, middle and ending of the novella.
Steinbeck manages to make Lennie seem childlike by hinting the readers that he has a mental disability through Lennie's simple-minded thinking and innocent killing behaviors. When George lost his temper and told Lennie that he could have lived a better life without him, Lennie proclaimed, "If you don't want me, you only jus' got to say so, and I'll go off in those hills right there - right up in those hills and live by myself" (Steinbeck 13). Even though Lennie knew that George will not leave him, Lennie still does not think of the possibility and casually said he can live comfortably in the hills. With his clumsy attitude and lack of survival knowledge, Lennie will most likely starve out in the hills without anyone he can rely on. In addition,
Lennie left the farm because of the events that took place. Lennie was left behind at the farm by himself, when the others went out, including George. Lennie was petting the dog, when he was not supposed to be. Lennie thought the dog was going to bite him, so he dropped the dog. Lennie killed the dog.
With a debilitating mental disorder, Lennie is a slave to his animal-like instincts which makes him powerless against his own mind. In the beginning of the novel, Lennie conveys his disability through his childlike thoughts and impulsive actions. While drinking potentially dangerous water, he is described like a horse since he “drank with long gulps, snorting into the water like a horse” ( 3). Later on, Lennie fixates on things he cannot have like ketchup for his beans and he forgets information quickly since his mind is not capable of complex thought processes or retaining information. Since he is not always able to comprehend the events around him, he often gets into trouble in bad situations.
Today me and Slim walked to the bunkhouse together, just chattin’ about the little pup that Slim gave to Lennie, which is moreover a kind gesture of him, since we both know that it means a lot to Lennie. Now the big guy’s got something to pet. I hope this keeps him damn busy, so he won’t do anything stupid which will get us in trouble. Slim commented on the power of Lennie, when he’s buckin’ barley, saying that he almost killed his partner. I felt proud at that moment, and as proud as I am I told him that Lennie can do anything if it doesn’t require much thinking.
While the rabbits for Lennie represent such a positive feature in his life, ironically, they also act as a parallel too. Lennie admires the rabbits and often ponders of taking care of them, but his inability to be gentle around other animals in general reflects the downfall of his fondness for them in the
