almost shed a tear

That's why the Title of the Movie fits the Ending to a tee.

More like a BULLET. I'll see myself out now.

It was depressing I threw the book out my room window aiming for the pool

holy shit it did

JOhn Dough exactly what I thought

That's ridiculous. You have to remember, Lenny was kinda holding George back. Sure, they got to pool money, but it was only gonna take a month. Give them 3 months and I can't see why they couldn't make it.

“‘I’ll work my month an’ I’ll take my fifty bucks an’ I’ll stay all night in some lousy cat house. Or I’ll set in some poolroom till ever’body goes home. An’ then I’ll come back an’ work another month an’ I’ll have fifty bucks more’” (Steinbeck 95).

This is months old but it helps me practicepp for the exam so :/. no matter how much Lenny held him back, the main reason George even wanted that farm was because of Lenny. George is a fairly average person, and his friendship with Lenny in a world of migrant workers where everyone is lonely and such close friendships were rare is the only thing that made him worth something and prevent him from completely being hopeless. the kind of childish naivety in a depressing adult world that Lenny had and the constant repetition of the dream made him actually believe it and work towards something. That childish naivety is however what brings Lenny's downfall in the novel, as if he was capable of understanding the seriousness of his situation with Curley's wife, she probably wouldn't have died. This is Steinbeck's main argument in the book - that happiness can be achieved through friendship, but cannot be achieved in a world as cruel as the one itinerant workers had. At the same time, being blinded by a dream and child naivety is also wrong and brings to destruction. The american dream is long dead.

Exactly

+Payton Newman The hallucination scene at the end demonstrates that Lennie remembered all the things that George told him not to do, and all the wrongs he had done that he claimed and pretended he had forgotten. Then he ignores his aunt telling him about George and talks to an imaginary rabbit instead, demonstrating that he doesn't care about George, and is only pursuing his dream of tending to the rabbits, using George as a means to reach his own goal, and in the process, destroying George's dream. All in all, Lennie is the selfish one in the story, and George is the one who has to kill his only friend, and has his dream destroyed. pretty much just copied that from my hw xD

+benjamin smith what did your teacher say about it? Thats quite an in depth thought line. I might have to use that xx

+Payton Newman Yeah, it really shows you how far the treatment of people who intellectual disabilities has come-back then they didn't treat them with dignity and respect like we do now

+Payton Newman Except the book was too shit to properly convey anything close to emotion

Payton Newman lmao Felt* like

The outsiders?

"he said he's saving that hand for his wife!" LOL

you're not alone; same here

+Mr Banana The rest of us were forced by our schools

so did I

Mr Banana me too!

I just read it too

Lennie

+TALHA AHMED lemmy!!

Teagan Eschborn Lemon

Lennie's disabled and when he gets panicked, he focuses on holding onto the thing he likes and making sure it doesn't escape his grip. He's not aware of his own strength because he doesn't know how to control himself and doesn't comprehend what's good and bad to do.

He's stuck between controlling his strength and emotions

I shouldn't let other people kill me, I should kill myself.

you 27 now that’s crazy

we still do.. we still do

Yep... just finished the book and now looking at summaries to see how accurate they are

NAWWWWW

How is that?

SPOILERS but also good advice if you're reading this for school below If you have to write an essay, either write it on the parralels of Candy letting the other men kill his dog vs George killing Lennie himself or Carlson and the other men's loneliness vs. Candy and his dog, and George and Lennie Good luck 9th graders

Quinteros me too

Mago lol

Dead Carrot me sis

Me!!!😔😭😭😭

did you do good on that test 3 years ago?

Cliffs and Brodies comments

You should read it too. It is only 106 pages long. Totally worth it.

Deva-Putra Wardiman the ending IS plain and boring. Other books like the lord of the flies, the sun also rises and the great gatsby had better ending than this.

Thas crazy bro but who tf asked

Smokey Brown no it wasn’t it was rather intense and emotional as Gorge slowly came to motion as he was about to execute Lennie.

wow thanks you too

hello , please is that's story of the murder..? ghanks

U prob already graduated

@@christianatern1241 ye

11 years ago damn

Damnnnn these comments are old

haha same with me

Lol same

better than reading the book

PeeJayTOCool M.C. You're a fucking idiot of you don't read this book.

SuperParkerBrothers so Einstein and Isaac Newton are both idiots ?

Yeah, I’m from Quebec and even though it’s been over-done in this comment section, I do actually have an exam about it tomorrow- I’m in secondary 5 (which is, according to Wikipedia, the equivalent of Première au lycée (?) (j’ai jamais compris l’affaire où vous comptez vos années d’école à l’envers (comme combien d’années il vous reste au lieu de ça fait combien d’années que vous étudiez-) en tous cas 🤷‍♂️) and we also read the French version~ That was all lol

He had to die, if he wasn't killed he would either end up to one of 3 things. 1: Killed by Curley because of revenge for his dead wife. 2: Sent to an insane asylum because of his disability. 3: Sent to prison where he would die, from a sentence of "rape" and murder.

Also because they were gonna have to run away all the time and they wouldn't get anywhere in life. And back then if the cops ever got a hold of him they would've tortured him and George didn't want him to have to go thought that

Meant though not thought lol

Butterflies come to you when they are in pain? What?

Yeah just let him be... just let him kill everyone by accident. Btw. the, would have lynched him, if it was not for George

+Alphawolf me
