Of MIce and Men 4

There are some considerable differences in Of Mice and Men the movie and book. The ending is one to consider. In the book Slim and everybody else shows up at the clearing. While in the movie there is only George. They also started the story wrong. In the book it starts off as Lennie and George enter the clearing. While in the movie they start it with the girl in the red dress running away. Also at the bunk house George is always playing solitaire while not reading a book. The pistol Carlson has is wrong. He had a Lugar not a Python or any other type of revolver. Lennie didn't hurl the pup across the room like he did in the book. And the way George kills Lennie in the movie was not discreet, like he did in the book.

The first time Curly saw Lennie and George he asked where his wife is in the book. While in the movie Curly asked where is my dad.  Curly didn't split the people to find Lennie like in the movie. Instead George told them which way Lennie would of gone. Lennie found the clearing in the book. While in the movie George had to find him in the stream.

Dear George

Dear George,
I agree on your decision to kill Lennie. Killing Lennie was a good idea because he kills just about anything. "Lennie looked back at the dead girl. The puppy close to her."(p.92) Lennie killed a small puppy and Curly's wife on the same day. It was a good idea to kill Lennie because he is very big,strong but clueless and a guy like that needs to know what he is doing so he doesn't hurt anybody else. But Lennie is clueless and he kill most animals that he likes. "I like to pet nice things with my fingers, sof' things"(p.90) Lennie likes soft things and many things that are soft are living. And he tends to kill them because he is too stupid to know what he is doing. Since Lennie is stupid and likes soft things and people likes to wear soft things he could end up killing another person because of the clothing they are wearing.

Killing Lennie with happy thoughts was a good way to end his life. Making him dream and not yelling at him would not make you regret your decision more. I think killing Lennie was the right idea because it would of been better for you to kill him then Curly. And Lennie has gotten you in a lot of trouble and had too many chances. So he probably deserved it. Letting Curly kill Lennie would probably haunt you because if he was gonna die you probably should of been the one to kill him. Either way Lennie would of died so ending him yourself would of been the best choice.

Of mice and men #2

 Lennie wants to leave from the ranch because he is afraid of Curly. " Le's go, George. Le's get outta here." (p.33) From the quote you can see Lennie dosent like this place. He also wants to leave from this ranch. " It's mean here" (p.33) Lennie also dosent like it here cause he thinks it is a mean place. Lennie dosent like it at the ranch from the way Curly talked to Lennie and George. And the way George tells Lennie to stay away from Curly, probably scares Lennie.

Of Mice and Men #1

1. I think Linnie is so dependent of George is because he needs somebody to lead him. I also think he needs somebody he can look up to like a dad. I think this because George always calls Lennie a bastard, so Lennie probably doesn't have a dad. Since Lennie doesn't have a dad, he uses George as a father figure.


2. I think George still keeps Lennie around because he knows George needs somebody to look up to and follow like a dad. George probably chooses the life with Lennie instead of a pretty good life, is because he knows Lennie would be hopeless without him. And with keeping Lennie around is like keeping a child around.

Speak Interview

1. The interviewers name is Drew Howe.

2. I think when the tree grows her voice grows. He thinks that because the tree is a symbol of growth and trees grow very slowly so she will come out of her shell as slow as a growing tree.

3.The schools isolates them self from Melinda because they think she is weird. And most kids hate her for what she did at the end of 8th grade. She also tries to hide because she wants to forget what happens that night. So the school is helping her isolate herself from the rest of the school

4.If the parents were more involve in her life they would know about her rape. So she would be more positive because people would be backing her up.

5. I like the book right now. I think its is close to reality because of girls get raped all the time.
