However, the influence of Curley saying was going to kill him, forces George to either have someone else do it in a likely gruesome way, or peacefully kill him by himself. Without Curley’s influence, George never has to let go of Lennie. Having to let go is extremely difficult for anybody. In Of Mice And Men, strong influences of others forces characters to let go.

“As awful as he could be, I always knew he loved me in a way no one else ever had” (Walls 279). She had to find the redeeming quality of her father, Rex and love him for that because he always loved her in an indescribable way. Loving her father at his worst, meant crying and being upset when he resulted back to drinking, abused her mother, and acted like a very mean person. One of the greatest examples of forgiveness in The Glass Castle, was when Jeannette wanted her father to stop drinking. She cared about him enough, to want him to stay in the world alcohol-free.

Lennie’s strength and his childish mind is his biggest struggle that affects many people on the ranch and himself. Lennie is overprotective of George and about being with him he would do anything for the guy, so when Crooks tells him, “S’pose he gets killed or hurt so he can’t come back. ”(71) Lennie then contradicts his opinion”This ain’t true.

Mr. and Mrs. Nguyen think that the boys are angels and don’t ever do anything wrong. They believe that jenny is the bad luck charm that brings bad things to occur in the family and jimmy brought all the good.

Because of Lennie's mental disability, he is required to be dependent on George. In the beginning of the novel as George and Lennie are making their way to the migrant farm, Lennie has a dead mouse in his pocket. Lennie feels that if he were to tell George concerning the mouse, he would yell at Lennie and be angry with him for his wrong doing. Ultimately, the more times George gets furious or impatient with Lennie, Lennie believes that George will not allow his dream of owning a farm in the future to come true (Owens). Likewise, Lennie's lack of consciousness from determining right from wrong, denounces his self character, leading to his own death.

Firstly, James Hurst uses characterization, in the beginning of the story the author alerts the readers to the narrator's original expectations for his little brother. The narrator wanted a brother who could run and play with him, so the reality of Doodle's condition hit him deeply. It is this disappointment for the narrator that lead him to push Doodle as hard as he possibly could. This shows the narrators character as mean, and selfish. The narrator taught him how to run and do other activities, since his pride cannot handle the disparity between the brother he wanted and the brother he got.

The greed of power will always blind the leader’s judgment. Napoleon was not excluded in this matter as he often takes advantages knowing that the animals cannot read or write. Although there are many examples to support this fact, but one stands out the most, Boxer’s ending. As can be seen throughout the story, Boxer is the one who worked hard for that farm’s welfare from the beginning to the end. His never-failing cry of ‘I will work harder’ often inspired the rest of animals to work hard despite facing failures such as destruction of the windmill for the second time.

“The most fearless hearts, the audacious dreamers, have always maintained a sense of optimism that often flies in the face of the available evidence” (Martin O’Malley). For instance, the quote relates to the story because Rikki Tikki was fearless and audacious, but wanted to protect his human family from Nag and Nagaina. Rikki Tikki also endangered his family by taking Nagaina’s eggs which made her even angrier considering Nag died. For this reason, the theme of the fictional story Rikki-Tikki-Tavi by Rudyard Kipling is being too audacious can endanger you and the people you love. Rikki-tikki is an audacious and inquisitive character in this story.

Mercy killing is legal and even though some people don't like that it is a legal practice it is not there section in the end, it’s the person to wants it decision. Mercy killing can be good. In Of Mice and Men, George did what was best for everyone, Lennie killed someone and was capable of doing it again because he did not fully understand what he did. In real life if a person wants to end their life because they are in pain, mental or physical, they could do it thereself. So why not let them do it peacefully and painlessly by assisted suicide?

While reading, I have caught onto many morals. Steinbeck, the author of the novel, Of Mice and Men, has engaged many readers throughout his written morals. Referring to one of my favorite morals from the novel, Steinbeck educates how the reader should not have their own situation decided from another. As for an example, the isolated character, Candy, who experienced having his own decision settled for him by the character, Carlson. What Steinbeck conveys is that when your decision is made from another, he's meaning that the reader has to decide for their own situation because it's their life.
