Of mice and men comparison: Book to Movie

I think the Of Mice and Men movie was overall, similar to the book. There were some

diffrences between the two. In the begining of the movie there was was a railroad train

that took George and Lennie to a place. In the the book there was no railroad train and

they had to walk all that way. In the movie there was a bus too. It dropped them off ten

miles from there destination. In the book there was no bus and they had to hike  that

whole ten miles . The part in the barn when Lennie killed Curleys wife, In the book it was

at night. In the movie she got killed in the daytime. They also left out the part when the

dog got killled. They just had Candy swirming around in the bed as a replacement for that

sad scene.

"Dear George"

Dear George,

I appreichiate your concerns for your friend Lennie, but i think the decision you made was a bitter/sweet decision to make.
I think that the way you used to talk to him was rude, i know you cared for him but as i quote saying things like "He is a poor bastard" is a rude comment to make.
 Now i know criticaly he is a "bastard" but i dont think that is the right thing to say to him.

When you foundout that Lennie killed Curleys wife and you heard Curly say " Im gonna shoot the guts outta that big bastard myself, even if i only got one hand.
Im gonna get em". You should have thought to yourself oh no he is about to get my longtime friend, and tryed to help him out as much as possible.
 However, i do understand that you did make the best choice you could have possibly could have in that situation.
 I think that it was very nice of you to be nice to him when you knew you were going to kill him. I love it how you said "We gonna get a little place" and " We'll have a cow, and down the flat we'll have a....little peice of alfalfa, for the rabbits, and you get to tend the rabbits.
and live on the fatta the lan."It was a very good choice to be nice to him when you knew what you were going to have to do.
 Although you did kill him for good resons it is sad that you had to endure the pain of killing him, but as i said i understand what you had to do. I commend you for that.

Of Mice and men part two

I think that Lennie is scared because of curly. I mean he basicly threatened him in a really bad way. Basicly

getting his point across that he does not like him.

Lennie is the special type and even though he is big enough to take curly down he is to mentaly challenged to

see it. Curly is very "harsh" with big people because he is a small man, so when he see's bigger people he

tends to be rude to them. Lennie said "Please dont let him sock me George" Its quite obvious that he is

scared of curly. Curly is very rude to Lennie as he said "Next time you answer when your talked to". Curly

wants to be a leader and he's not and he has a stinky attitude with Lennie. I am pretty sure Lennie is leaving

because he is scared of Curly. I feel bad for Lennie, everyone thinks bad of him. I know that George cares

about him but he sure expresses it in a rude way.
