Lennie In John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

In a way, George was like a parent or a big brother to Lennie. He scolded Lennie and yelled at him, but, all in all, George was just looking out for him. Readers see how George is like a guardian to Lennie in the first chapter when George says, “Lennie!... For god’ sakes don’t drink so much... Lennie.

At first Lennie tries to dodge her advances, but his childlike sense of morality is easily altered. He gives in and strokes her hair, laughing contentedly until she starts to resist and struggle, “Now don’t” he says, covering her mouth, “I don’t want you to yell. You gonna get me in trouble, jus’ like George said” (91). Alarmed and furious that George will find out and be angry with him because he wouldn’t be able to tend the rabbits, he silences her by breaking her neck. This shows that though his intentions were innocent in petting her hair, it can create horrible consequences.

Of Mice and Men How do you think society handle people who are different? People differently when I moved to Connecticut. Everyone talked about me and did not like me because I’m from Texas. Everyone called me dumb because I did not have the same education as everyone else. People use to say “You’ll never be as smart as me because you are from a dumb state.”

In the historical fiction novella, Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, George’s decision to kill Lennie at the end of the novel was justified. Lennie Smalls is always with his best friend George. He is incapable of doing many things because he is mentally disabled. George normally makes decisions for him and in this case, it’s about Lennie suffering and staying alive, or ending his life peacefully. Curley is a character that played a big role.

but he doesn't know what he is doing. He ends up killing one of Slim's puppys by petting it too hard but that shows Lennie does not know his own strength and can't control how he acts. So when the incident in weed happened all he was trying to do was just touch the colorful dress. This is a second reason why George should be charged with murder because Lennie did not know what he was

George’s intentions in this are to keep Lennie out of harm’s way, “‘Look Lennie. You try to keep away from him, will you? Don’t ever speak to him. If he comes in here you move clear to the other side of the room.’” (Steinbeck 19).

The story is about a man named Lennie and the struggles he goes through while living with his best friend George. Some of the struggles Lennie goes through is learning that everyone isn’t as kind and as respectful as him. The challenges Lennie and everyone else has to go through is hate and discrimination. One of the people that work there deals with racism and segregation because of the color of his skin. Lennie, George and a old man named Candy plan to leave the Ranch and live their own life on their rules.

Would you be able to kill your friend knowing you could give them a peaceful death instead of being afraid in their last moments? George from the novel Of Mice and Men faces a decision for his companion Lennie. Lennie is a mentally handicap friend of George, in John Steinbeck’s novel. Lennie hit his last straw when he accidently kills Curley’s wife. Curley, Carlson, and Slim went looking for Lennie but Curley was going to make him suffer.

This is told to us in a dialog between George and Slim. George says the he had been looking out for Lennie for a long time. At first he liked to play tricks on Lennie, but after one, Lennie almost drowned, so George vowed to watch

In the book Of Mice and Men two there are two main characters are George and Lennie. They seem ordinary until you actually get to meet them. Lennie is the tall character who has some undefined mental disability. His disability just means that he needs more attention because of him being a physically grown man. He needs to be placed in a mental institution for the benefit of others.

George understood Lennie had mental setbacks and he knew that some would prey on him because of this. George made sure no one hurt Lennie, and protected him when his only family, his Aunt Clara, passed away, as he explains in chapter three in a conversation with Slim, “I knowed his Aunt Clara. She took him when he was a baby and raised him up. When his Aunt Clara died, Lennie just come along with me out workin’. Got kinda used to each other after a little while” (40).

George would protect Lennie at all costs even from himself. After Lennie kills a young woman, George decides it is better for Lennie to be dead rather than to be tortured and kept in a cell or a mental asylum. The decision of killing Lennie hit George like a train, but he knew it was something that was in Lennie’s own good. Knowing he could have an easier life without Lennie, George still kept him around because he needed George and George needed Lennie. George tells Slim “Course Lennie’s a God damn nuisance most of the time, but you get used to goin’ around with a guy an’ you can’t get rid of him.”

When Wrong is Right At the end of “Of Mice and Men” George is faced with grim decision of shooting his best friend and family member Lennie to ease both of their future pains. George has known Lennie for mostly all of his life and he knew that when Lennie was dead their dream of having a house would be over. George then makes up his mind and shoots Lennie making him think if it was the right decision or it was wrong. In this case the decision was right because of many reasons with one being that Lennie would never be able to survive in the world that they live in.

PERSUADABLE Within this novel, we see Lennie be persuaded into many different problems. One of the first instances of this is when George encourages Lennie to fight back against Curley. (Page 63 paragraph two) “Get him, Lennie. Don’t let him do it.”

After all the anger that George has shown towards Lennie, he utters these words now so Lennie can die with a sense of peace. George does not want to pull the trigger, but he knows that the further consequences of Lennie’s actions will only worsen. To save Lennie from Curley’s wrath, possible imprisonment, and perhaps years of suffering, George takes Lennie’s
