What will be going over is Did Georges previous actions support his final action or does it seem out of character? Whos is George disobeying or obeying when he kills Lennie? Who has he put at risk?

The thing that is covered is George’s obedience, and throughout the novel George is very obedient, by George watching over Lennie after aunt clara told him too, and to obeying the rules of the farm, either way George is very obedient “I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you”.
“An’ s’pose they lock him up an’ strap him down and put him in a cage. That ain’t no good George.” (pg.97) Slim, one of the most understanding characters from Steinbeck's novel, Of Mice and Men, makes this statement in deciding how Lennie must be held responsible for the murder of Curley’s wife. George, Lennie’s best friend and caretaker, takes this statement into consideration and inevitably decides that killing Lennie is the best way to save him.
He [George] pulled the trigger…”’ (Steinbeck 106). This is the part in Of Mice and Men when George kills Lennie peacefully. In John Steinbeck's, Of Mice and Men there are two men named George and Lennie. Lennie is a tall, large, strong, mentally disabled man, while George is a small, smart man.
In the book Mice and Men George was faced with a tough decision of killing his best friends or letting him suffer, he ended up killing him. I believe George's decision to kill Lennie himself was justified. It think it was justified because if George didn't kill Lennie himself then Lennie would have had to endure some form of torture. Candy was talked into having someone shoot his dog. Candy raised his dog up since he was a pup and they've been like best friends.
Another reason is that Lennie couldn’t survive with George telling him what and what not to do. The last reason is that if George didn’t kill Lennie, Curly would painfully kill him. Being dangerous for the people around and to himself is more than enough reason kill him. Lennie can’t control his strength, or himself.
Moving to a job with hard labor and finally getting money and food again, then having Lennie mess something up and force him to leave and go to somewhere else to find a new place to work. Restarting the cycle all over again. How long do you think it would take you to get tired of running away with a murderer who carries around dead animals he killed and completely relies on you for everything? Also, even if George put aside everything and went with Lennie, his actions would still catch up with him and be marked as
One reason I feel like George made the right
He cannot live alone and George is the only reason that he survives.
“He looked at the back of Lennie’s head at the place where the spine and skull were joined” (105) in John Steinbeck’s novella Of Mice and Men, the main character, George Milton, had to make the difficult decision to end the life of his friend, Lennie Smalls. This explains some of what was happening in George’s brain when killing Lennie. What's happening is that he wanted to end it himself so know one would hurt him even more that what George was doing. Although most people would agree that killing another person is wrong. George is justified in killing Lennie because Lennie did not know what he was doing, Lennie made George’s life difficult, and George know their dream would never come true.
The unconscious acts of Lennie in Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck lead to terrible incidents. Steinbeck exemplifies in the book how even good people can act in violent ways. John Steinbeck uses Lennie’s action of killing Curley’s wife to communicate to the audience how he isn’t killing her with malicious intent, but how he is a good person who acted violently. Curley’s wife is intrigued by Lennie and his infatuation with petting soft things. She giggled at him realizing how he was on the strange side, even so he seems harmless, and with his intentions he is.
In spite of what Lennie had done, he would've gotten help, or he would've been brought to justice but he'd have food, water, a bed, and no one deserves to have their life taken from them just because someone else believes so. One reason why George made the wrong choice was because of Lennie's mental health issue. When you have a mental health problem, you can get better. Some people can't control how they're born.
Published in 1937, the novel Of Mice and Men was written by John Steinbeck. Of Mice and Men is the story of George Milton, an intelligent but uneducated man, and Lennie Small, a bulky, strong but mentally disabled man who want to scrounge enough money together to someday buy their own little house and a plot of land to farm. However, Lennie keeps getting them into trouble so they can’t finish their jobs. Ultimately, George is forced to kill Lennie after Lennie kills Curley's wife. George was not justified in Of Mice and Men for killing Lennie because they could’ve moved somewhere else instead of killing Lennie and that George and Lennie were basically family.
"Of mice and men" a novel by John Steinbeck which will be discussed in this paragraph evaluating two specific points, one of them is that George did the right thing by killing Lennie for many circumstances to be discussed later; and the second is about George was not supposed to kill Lennie under any reason because the life of every human being must be respected by every person in the world. George, seeing that Lennie did not have the ability to live on his own, always got into very serious problems and seeing that neither of them could get ahead because of those motives as you can see in the next quote: "I done a real bad thing," he said. "I shouldn 't of did that. George 'll be mad.
Before declaring independence, John Dickinson constructed The Articles of Confederation as the structure of government between the thirteen colonies. In reassessing the structure of government for the colonies, James Madison, Adam Hamilton, and John Jay under the name Publius, wrote the federalist papers. Publius determined the Articles of Confederation to be defective for three main reasons: the abuse of state legislative power, the absence of executive enforcement, and the articles being a treaty, rather than a constitution. The abuse of state legislative power in the Articles of Confederation allowed government laws to benefit the few, and not the common good of the colonies. James Madison, in the Vices of the Political System of the United States, explains that “A still more fatal if not more frequent cause lies among the people themselves.”
In the novella, Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, George’s decision to kill Lennie at the end of the novel was justified. George and Lennie were best friends, and have been since they were little. They got ran out of Weed(the old farm they used to work at) for harassing a girl and not letting her go. He was just scared from her screaming and kicking. He didn’t mean to harm, or scare her.
