Of Mice And Men Ending Analysis
At first you might think that yes because he ended him friends life,but if you really think about the whole situation George was just making Lennies life easier by ending it because if he didn't kill him they still would of found him somewhere,they would make him suffer by probably putting him in jail, taking him to a mental hospital. But basically any other option would of made him suffer and that exactly what George didn't want for Leannie because even though George knew that what Lennie did was wrong they were still friends that traveled together and have know each other for along time. So i don't think its mean because i would probably do the same,just not the shooting part because i wouldn't be able to do it.But i would have someone else

    How Did George Kill Lennie

    Some people might think that George is not a true friend to Lennie. They might think this because George kills Lennie. George could have run away with Lennie instead of killing him, or he could have let Lennie run away on his own. He killed Lennie because it was the best option he had. The mob could have found Lennie, and Lennie would just mess up again. Also he killed him peacefully, which is better than any other form of death and a sign of compassion. If George didn’t kill Lennie Curley’s mob would have killed him in a more painful way, which George would not…

    Of Mice and Men Random Discussion

    Needs. Being a self-sufficient man who is probably seasoned in wilderness hunting or other skills needed to survive in the untamed world back then in 20th century America. Although the outdoors wasn’t exactly safe, it wasn’t exactly dangerous either. You could camp out and live there without much worry, and there were plenty of berries, game, mushrooms, and other sources of food as well. However, George’s safety needs are not even existent; evident by the fact of him possessing three dollars. He does hold a good relationship with Lennie, so there isn’t much trouble there. George is just a run-of-the-mill worker, and the people he meets while at his new source of employment see him as such. He has nothing to be psyched about. With Lennie, as he evidently says constantly in the story, he could do a lot better off without him. Lennie on the hand, lacks tangibility in all categories of this triangle of sorts. He needs George, is often picked on and acknowledges it. Although a very good worker (and proven), he is incapable of making his own decisions truly and does not function well in society. Lennie has no idea what he’d want to be. In the sense of other characters, some vary often. For example, Slim is a very skilled skinner and he is a huge part of the ranch they are working at; nearly irreplaceable. Candy, on the other hand, is very dispensable. He is past his prime wildly, basically handicapped, and is a train wreck after his old dog is put down by Carlson. The other people in the camp are regulars; they are the bulk of the ranch so they wouldn’t necessarily be dismissed quickly, and can take little parts in these sections of the triangle.…

    Of Mice And Men George's Death Analysis

    The position that George was in is a position that no person should ever have to face. The thought of ending the life of one of my friends or one of my family members is a sorrowing one. George’s decision was done out of mercy for Lennie, and although I know that all I want is for my loved ones to have lived a safe and happy life, in that moment I do not believe that I could intentionally kill one of my loved ones, even in an act of mercy. This may sound unusual, but I believe that I would be willing to kill that loved one by the river because I only want the best for them, but I never could actually bring myself to do so. I detest the idea of anyone having to die at Curley’s hand, but even more so, I could not willingly pull the trigger of…

Whilst John Steinbeck worked among many ranch workers and construction staff, he gained he realized that the worker’s state of mind led many to despair and seclusion.

    Of Mice And Men Allegory

    Of Mice and Men feels like an allegory, with each character possessing a specific trait that represents something or some group in society. So, is the book just a heavy-handed lecture about how nasty people are to each other. Are all of these wrongs (racism, sexism, discrimination) treated as equally evil? Or are the characters real, individual people, rather than being merely types/symbols? This is not in your own words...what’s up with that???…

Got kinda used to each other after a little while’" (39). This quotation how long the two men have known each other, and how George had taken care of Lennie since they were young, meaning he had acted as a true guardian of Lennie. Because George has truly develops a relationship with Lennie through the years, he knows Lennie’s hopes and dreams; This means that when put into an existential situation like the one in the book, he knows that shooting Lennie is the best option he has, making him a true man for others, and a true friend to Lennie.

    Of Mice And Men Comparative Essay

    [In Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck and “Still I Rise” by Maya Angelou, the poet Maya Angelou empowers minority characters in Of Mice and Men to share their voices and rise against the discrimination set against them by society.] [Analysis: While comparing the poem and the novel, they share similarities between struggles with oppression or rather that Angelou’s experiences as a black woman, a woman, as a minority can relate to how minorities were treated in Of Mice and Men. Angelou’s poem is showing that despite the horrendous things that happened in her past, she needs to share her voice and persevere through it. And the purpose of the poem is to empower those without voices and give them the power to rise against their captors, the barriers set on them by society. Though I’m not really sure if any characters in Of Mice and Men rise past their situation like Maya Angelou did though. So there’s still an issue with that, since this poem is only to discuss similarities. Adding one difference would be fine, right? You know…just to show another point] [ OK, but what is the argument? Why are minorities represented like that in Of Mice and Men and how does that relate to what Maya Angelou is saying.] “Still I Rise” by Maya Angelou and Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck share similarities in their central themes and characters throughout both texts. “Still I Rise” is a poem by Maya Angelou detailing her struggles of being discriminated in society, but still faces adversities about it. While Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, a novella, follows the story of Lennie and George, two migrant workers, who go through life against the discriminations set…

    In John Steinbeck’s novel, Of Mice and Men, Steinbeck uses his life experiences to depict the lifestyle of people on a ranch in the Salinas River Valley.
