If you want a website for help, you can go to www.sparknotes.com and you type in of mice and men. In my opinion georges actions of killing lennie were justified because think about it, lennie was going to be killed by the other men. George rather have him kill him because he is his friend. Think about what Candy did, he didnt kill his dog, but he regretted it because later on he said I rather have killed him myself...or something like that. Anyways, that website really helps!

Well, if you want my opinion, George's actions were justified. He put Lennie out of a world where he could not comprehend anything and into a world where he could relax and be himself. If he hadn't killed Lennie, both of the men would have to continue running from the police for the rest of their lives. And with a guy as big as Lennie, it wouldn't be hard to spot them. Plus, George promised his Aunt Clara he would keep Lennie safe. And he is doing that by killing Lennie, as horrible and cruel as that sounds. But keeping him alive in a world where everyone is going to be searching to kill him would not be upholding his promise to his Aunt Clara.

The second prompt would be totally up to you.

I'm just trying to help. I'm in Honors English and we also read this book and wrote an essay analyzing the characteristics of one of the chatacters. I chose George and analyzed his protectveness for his companion. Also I justified him killing Lennie. I got a 158/160 so I figured I could help. If you need anything else just go to my Inbox! Hope I helped.

hey im not sure if you need to write 2 seperate essays, or like.. 1 for each prompt but i read this book so i think i can help.
use the "jane schaffer" method.

for the first prompt, yes i believe George was justified in killing Lennie. If he didnt, Curly wouldve savagly killed him. Also, he did it in a rightous way by reminding Lennie of thier dreams, and also putting the gun in the place that would hurt the least.

all you need.

Well the two prompts are quite simple to answer. They're your opinions so you can answer however you feel.

I read this book earlier this year and maybe you should see about watching the movie for more information. Take in mind that there are a few of those out there. Also all you have to do for quotes is go to google and type in "Of Mice and Men."

Im not sure what your teacher means by quotes. I was assumuming from critics? go to google and type in "Of Mice and Men reviews."

If you need help, you can IM me but i was unclear of what you needed. You can explain to me what you need if this doesnt help.
