I think steinbeck called it “Of Mice and Men” to be more mysteries and not to give anything away from the story.i think “Of MIce and Men” is a good title because it makes you want to read more because you want to find out what the stories about.Steinbeck wanted to the plot to be how mice and men are similar or how lennie killed so many small things and george kills lennie like he’s a mice because he's small.This title betrayed that the story was gonna be about mice and men and how they are similar and we do similar things.…

“Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams dies, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. (Langston Hughes)” The film “Of Mice and Men” directed by Gary Sinise is an adaption of the novel with the same name written by John Steinbeck, it depict the iconic living conditions and life style of farmers in California during the great depression. Both the novel and the film emphasize the themes of “friendship”, “loneliness” and “loss of dreams” in which the characters are vividly portrayed in different scenes.…

Of Mice and Men is a story about the failure of the American dream.The main characters' troubles can be compared to those of mice, which explains the title. Robert Burns' poem, "To a Mouse" also can help to clarify the title. It contains the quotation: "The best laid schemes o' Mice an' Men, Gang aft agley" ("often go awry"). In fact, this quote is the reason John Steinbeck chose Of Mice and Men as the title.…
But he realises that Lennie cannot stand up for himself and steps forward “I’ll get ‘um myself”. This makes the reader think that this fight is as bad as it sounds as slim has got involved and he is known as the “prince of the ranch” and everybody follows his word. George stopped slim as he knew what Lennie would do if he was told to attack Curley.…
Many people have power or are overpowered by others. This applies both in real life and the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. Many of the characters in John Steinbeck's book excel or are limited in power. But all characters have certain aspects about their personality and physique that gives them power or shows why people have power over them. Many details and aspects make characters the way they are and their abilities and limits display their dominance.…
I think the Grand Jury should drop all charges brought upon George Milton. For the murder of Lennie, the charge is 1st degree murder. George, a friend of Lennie’s, obviously didn’t want his friend to be tortured and killed in a harsh manner which is why he chose to took the law into his own hands. Since Lennie is the cause of Curley’s wife’s death the ranch insisted on killing Lennie instead of prosecuting him. George decided the easiest way out of life would be a bullet to the back of the head. He took Lennie to a beautiful part of the foothills by the Salinas River and shot him.…

“Truth is everybody is going to hurt you: you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for” (Bob Marley). The novel Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, was set in the Great depression. In the novel George has to deal with Lenny every single day and it’s not easy, but he loves him and he just has to accept that Lenny is part of his life. In this book, society was frustrating. People were very sexist, and instead of coming together and helping each other everyone kept to themselves this is also known as isolation. Also, during this time people who suffered from mental and physical disabilities were often isolated and faced discrimination. Steinbeck identifies many societal problems during the Great Depression, and brings them to light in his novella Of Mice and Men.…
Many diseases and disorders were not discovered until fairly recent years. This is the case for a disorder called autism. John Steinbeck’s novel “Of Mice and Men” was set during the Great Depression, and the story portrays a man named Lennie with a disorder that people during that time did not understand, so they treated him as if he were mentally impaired. Today, Speech-Language pathologists recognize Lennie as being autistic. “Of Mice and Men” portrays the characteristics of autism and how people who were ignorant of the true disorder crudely handled the situation. This story shows readers how much progress the field of Speech-Language pathology has made in diagnosing and treating people who suffer from autism.…
When Curley finds his wife dead, he says “I know who done it…I know he done it.” (Steinbeck 92). Curley knows Lennie has killed his wife because he knows from experience of his strength. Curley wants to kill Lennie immediately and leaves the ranch to find him. George finds Lennie and speaks with him, but he soon “raised the gun and steadied it, and he brought the muzzle of it close to the back of Lennie’s head” (Steinbeck 101-102) and shoots, leaving Lennie dead in the sand. George wants Lennie to be at peace, rather than suffer the consequences of his actions. He thinks that it is better for Lennie’s best friend to kill him, rather than it being someone…
George had just told Lennie they were going to the ranch to get a job but then right after, he asked, where are we going again. For example, in the story, Lennie questioned, “ Where we going’, George?” and George forced down his hat and scowled Lennie, So you forgot that awready, did you? I gotta tell you again, do I? Jesus Christ, you're a crazy bastard!” (Steinbeck 4). After that, Lennie showed examples of anger towards George. Although , Steinbeck may not have specifically said Lennie was angry, from my understanding, Lennie was angry at George for taking his mouse from him. In fact, I believe this because Lennie loved touching soft things and George took that one thing he loved right away from him. For example, in the story, He heard Lennie crying and turned around. “Blubberin’ like a baby! Jesus Christ! A big guy like you.” (Steinbeck 9). As a result of him taking away his mouse, Lennie threatened George, “ Do you want me to go away and leave you alone?” (Steinbeck 10). Consequently, George was surprised toward this anger. Additionally, Curley was portraying anger towards Lennie and George. Curley entered the bunk house. He glanced at Lennie and George coldly. He questioned both Lennie and George but Curley only expected an answer from Lennie (the big guy). Specifically, in the story, George said, “S'pose he don't want to…
