Comparing Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

302 Words2 Pages

The book Of Mice and Men and the movie had few differences. Besides the few minor differences, there were two main ones. An extra scene was added to the middle of the movie, in which George was ordered to take a lame mule back to the barn and bring back a fresh one. Curley's wife intervened when she found him in the barn, and attempted conversation with George against his will. Curley found them talking and threw a fit. The other major difference was the ending. The final scene of the movie ended with George shooting Lennie and then just standing there looking quite forlorn. In the book, the rest of the men found them, and George had another conversation with Slim. Despite these few differences, this book and movie were quite alike. The general

In the book Of Mice And Men, compared to the movie was a little different but also very similar. Something I was glad to see stay in the movie as well as the book was, the dream farm. One of my favorite parts from Of Mice And Men, was when Lennie got to pick out his puppy from Slim. A very sad part of the book and movie is when Lennie kills Curley 's wife, after that you just kind of know something bad is about to happen. Then, it happens and George finds Lennie and instead of the guys finding him and torturing him George makes a bold move and shoots Lennie.

I think that throughout chapter five, both Lennie and Curley's wife feel regret through their actions, or their emotions. I think that Lennie feel regret on chapter five because of the fact that he just killed his pup, only friend, who he will no be able to pet the rabbit anymore if George saw what he did to the pup by accidentally. This quote“Why do you got to get killed? You ain’t so little as mice. I didn’t bounce you hard” (85) showed that since Lennie kills the pup that Slim gave him while he was playing too roughly with the puppy.

No matter how good we act or how humane we are, due to our lack of personality and abilities, we can never achieve what we deserve. As individuals, many people do good deeds towards others every day, but nobody earns what they deserve. Everyone is a good person at heart and deserves a better life than what they have now, but due to our limitations we can’t always achieve them, similarly to Lennie and George’s situation as they struggled in the limited world in gaining money for a piece of land as “all men dream of”, “We gotta get a big stake together. I know a little place we can get cheap, but they ain’t givin’ it away” (56). In addition, no matter how good someone is or how hard they work, they will never achieve their dreams because dreams

Chapter 1 1.The first paragraph functions in a very simple way. He uses this simple beginning to set up a simplicity with nature with the simple nature of the two main characters in the book. This allows us to get used to the book and ease us into it. 2.Georgie is a small, quick man with a very dark and suspicious eye while Lennie is quite the opposite;a naive, unintelligent, big man. Steinbeck wants us to infer that since these two characters are quite the opposite they may have a lot of conflict, however they may form a friendship as well.

One of our favorite parts was definitely in the beginning, when George and Lenny were camping out. George cooks some beans, and then Lenny rambled for a bit about how he wishes he had ketchup which causes George to explode. Then he settles down, and tells Lenny how one day they will they have their own farm and raise rabbits. We like this part because it reveals how conflicted George was. Another favorite part of the book was when Lenny killed the mouse on accident because it was in his pocket and he was still petting it as if it was still alive because he didn’t understand the power of his own strength or even that it was no longer living shows his innocence.

Well since I don’t know how to start an essay i'm just gonna start by saying,how you doing?I’ll give you time….ok we ready?So the movie of mice and men was an interesting and oddly satisfying movie. In the movie we see that George and Lennie run away from weed from the beginning and we get a chance to see how the chase was and the girl running and screaming,something we didn’t read in the book. Of Course in the book we do get information from George later on the story of why they left weed but we never heard that the men were riding in horses and chase them with dogs.

Another difference would be the way the short stories were ordered. In the book, the stories were told in no perceptible order, making it hard to remember who is whose daughter/mother etc. The movie begins with a party which all the characters attend, and the stories are disclosed as the character is thinking about it. The mother and daughter’s stories are staged after one another. The movie allows for a more natural way of telling the story, and makes it easier to remember the characters and associate mothers with daughters.

Brian In The Wild Movie Analysis
266 Words | 2 Pages
I think the movie does a better job of telling the story. The reason I think this is because we can see everything Brian goes through in the wild , like when Brian has the recurring memory of his mother cheating on his father. In the book the text said he was knocked into the water by a bear and fought the bear before it happened in the book it says he was knocked into the water by a moose not a bear. The movie was also better by showing us what happened to the pilot by letting us see his face when brian gets the survival pack by showing us what exactly happened to the captain 's head. The movie did have some similarities like when the porcupine quilled him after he threw his hatchet at it and when he ate the gut cherries.
