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.
Does the story end the way you expected it to? As I was finishing each chapter, I was predicting what the next chapter would be about, my predictions weren't so similar to the book. Although some ideas were not so different but not so alike. In chapter 2, when Curley was snapping at Lennie, I thought Lennie was done for, since Curley was the boss's son. But it wasn't like that, Lennie stayed with his job.
Based off what the reader knows about Crooks from chapter four, the reader can infer that he would be the kind of person to join the NAACP. The reason for this is because he believes that African Americans do not receive the same things that whites do. In the text it states, “‘ This is just a nigger talkin’, an’ a busted-black nigger, So it don’t mean nothing, see? [...]
When you read a book then you read another one that is completely different, sometimes you think that those two books are nothing alike. Well I thought the same thing about The Call of the Wild and Of Mice and Men. There were no parallels with these books as far as I could see. Then my teacher told us about the American Dream and I realized that Buck, George, and Lennie had a dream. That’s one of the greatest things about life: trying to achieve your own personal goal or dream--but there is also a good chance that you won’t achieve your dream.
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
Of Mice and Men Essay Of course money and power is something so great to have, people often get caught up in their own world of making themselves happy that they forget about family and true friends that are much greater than money and power. Money and power comes and goes, while friendship can stay for a lifetime. Money and power is hard to get and even harder to keep it, while friendship is easy to find and easy to keep forever (Compound). Money and power will leave you lonesome and make you somebody you’re not just to please people, while friendship has somebody there to comfort you anytime, make you believe in yourself and bring the good out of you even if that means sacrificing a lot. Friendship is far superior than money and power ever was (simple).
Lennie accidentally killed wife of Curley because he was frightened by her screams and he knew George would be mad at him. He also was afraid that his friend would not allow him to care for the rabbits on their dream land. Lennie ran to the hiding spot by the Salinas River where George had established would be their “safe place”. While waiting for George to arrive, Lennie imagined his Aunt Clara scolding him and a giant rabbit tormenting him. Once George arrived, Lennie anxious about what George would do to him.
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.
Of MICE AND MEN is an incredible book showing a dream two men had. Lennie and George work off each other, they are companions in their life dream. With a friendship there always comes complications that grow down the line. George pretty much had to watch over Lennie and his handicapped mental state, making sure he did not get into trouble or kill any thing on accident. No one understood their friendship, but George needed Lennie’s companionship.
Sunday night was horrid, It was the last George saw Lenny as immaculate. Lenny did something unbelievable… He murdered Curley’s wife and the puppy. He faced the same consequences just like Weed, but this time there was no time to escape. George has to do it quick before Curley finds Lenny and makes him suffer.
In the story Mice and Men it took place in California on their plantation during the Great Depression.

They want to settle down on a farm and have dreams of settling down on their own piece of land. Lennie's part of the dream is to tend rabbits because he loves touching soft animals. although he always kills them.
In John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men he describes two characters, Slim and Curley's wife. Steinbeck uses imagery to portray the negative and positive differences between the two characters. The character Slim is relatively shown in a majestic light, hence "the prince of the ranch". But in opposition to this Curley's wife was depicted as having hair like "sausages" with "rouged lips", not at all similar to royalty. Another main contrast is that while Slim's character description was more directed towards his persona, Curley's wife had an introduction based on her appearance.
An acceptable writer leaves no room for conclusions to be drawn or pondered in his or her creations. Thankfully, instead, there are works of art sculpted by superb authors, much like John Steinbeck. This literary genius allows his readers to fashion their own opinions about his irresistibly compelling characters in his thought-provoking novel, Of Mice and Men. For instance, the mentally challenged character, Lennie Small, is accompanied by his fatherly figure, George Milton. Granted, some only view George as often being combative and peevish towards Lennie.
In the novella, Of Mice and Men, the author John Steinbeck illustrates a ranch in the 1930’s during the great depression where those who fit into mainstream society run the show, and those deemed “outcasts” are rendered useless. Steinbeck depicts characters with setbacks that diminish their value in the eyes of society, and contrasts them to characters that have no difficulties conforming to the norm. Crooks, being a black man isolated by his race, and Candy, a elderly man limited by his age and missing limb are examples of Steinbeck characters that experience hardships because of the differences. The poor treatment of Crooks and Candy by the other characters, and their chronic unhappiness in a place that doesn’t value them, comments on how
