Lennie and George are being chased by dogs and we don’t really know what happend yet. There was loud music happening so something bad might be happening. This really grabbed my attention and it was a really good beginning and makes me want to keep watching the movie. The hook grabbed my attention and it was a really good start. The imagery and sound really caught my attention because when they woman in the red dress was running it really reminded me of the book and was really similar. When they got to the bunkhouse they described it really well and it seemed really real. They added more scenes in the field which I like and they didn’t add that scene in the book. At the end of the movie when Lennie and Curley's wife are in the barn they described the scene with detail and very well. The characterization in the movie was pretty good. I feel like they could've made Lennie more like how he was in the book because in the …show more content…

The beginning of the movie makes you feel anxious because they are in a train and you don't really know what’s going on. When they are playing the music at the beginning it’s very suspenseful and you don’t know what’s going to happen. The sound of the music getting more dramatic seems like something big is about to happen and it makes you want to keep watching. During the part when they are working on the field the music is very happy and cheerful and they were all happy so the music made it seem like it was a happy time. I think the sound person did a good job at adding the right sound at the right times. Like when something suspenseful or scary is happening they add good sound so it seems more

They did not change throughout the whole movie. Making the characters static was effective because it wouldn 't have made sense if they changed throughout the movie. In the book and in the movie I could tell what the characters and the actors were thinking and feeling.

    f Mice and Men Essay - Essays and Analysis Critical Context and Evaluation print Print document PDF list Cite link Link Of Mice and Men is one of the most widely assigned modern novels in high schools because of both its form and the issues that it raises. John Steinbeck’s reliance on dialogue, as opposed to contextual description, makes the work accessible to young readers, as does his use of foreshadowing and recurrent images. Equally important is the way in which he intertwines the themes of loneliness and friendship and gives dignity to those characters, especially Lennie and Crooks, who are clearly different from their peers. By focusing on a group of lonely drifters, Steinbeck highlights the perceived isolation and sense of “otherness”

The movie had some bad acting, but it was still good, but towards the end it did seem a little rushed. A lot of things were changed, and some things were emphasized which made them seem cooler and scarier. The number reason I think the book was better is because it

John Steinbeck wrote this book about two boys who took care of each other mentally and physically throughout. They endure many journeys together and are able to suffice over very little. They show the strength in friendships in many dissimilar ways and make diligent decisions that some may never be able to make. Of Mice and Men is not only about two friends and their journey together, but as well as giving one a deeper meaning of the book, such as showing the nature of their dreams, the characters as archetypes, and if the killing of Lennie is justified in the end.
