In the book, Of Mice and Men, George kills Lennie. But before this happens, Slim encourages George to kill Lennie. He should have not done this. This would be difficult for George to live through because Lennie is George's best friend, mentally disabled, and Georges muscle.
Slim said that George did take care of Lennie, and that Lennie was not smart and needed someone to give him guidance. SLim said that they were brother like and close. The prosecution brought up a statement George had previously made, “I would never purposely hurt him.” They then proceeded to ask about a story that they had heard about Lennie and George in the past. Slim was forced to tell the prosecution the story George had told him once about attempting to harm Lennie.
Slim nodded. ‘We might,’ he said. If we could keep Curley in, we might” (Steinbeck 97). With Slim acknowledging that there was a possibility they will not have to kill him, but rather lock him in a prison, it shows that there is nothing that could prove that Lennie will be murdered and mocked.

Of Mice and Men is a book written by John Steinbeck. Power, and how it is used is very important in the book. In this essay I am going to be talking about how the characters, themes, and symbols and how people's weaknesses in the novel ar exploited and how this is all related to the concept of power. One of the themes of power is when Carlson decides he’s had enough of Candy’s dog smelling up the place and decides to take it out to shoot it. Now, Candy is an old man that is missing a hand so he is considered too weak to stop Carlson from taking his dog out and shooting it.
He was unable to control his strength and ended up breaking the bones in his hand. According to Slim, ”Looks like every bone in his han bust” (page 64). Lennie then feels bad and says, “I didn't wanna ,I don't wanna hurt him”. This made me realize that his strength was too much for people and will potentially push them away. His strength not only affects people it has a effect on his pets to.
Of Mice and Men Persuasive Essay “ Even the best laid plans of mice and men often go astray. “. In the book of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, George, one of the main characters, has to kill his best friend- Lennie Small. He does this for a few different reasons.

However, even though he is compared to a Christ symbol that doesn’t mean he behaves like one. McMurphy is seen as a Christ symbol, not only because of references, but because of his gradual self-growth throughout the novel that allows him to embrace his “divinity” and help others. McMurphy is a mockery of the figure Christ because Christ was a humble, charitable, giving, honorable man who was pure and Mcmurphy is the opposite of that.
