Of Mice and Men pg.75-end, 9/12/10

The author writes with more emotion in the last section I read. He shows the characters personalities more. Even Curley’s wife showed more of her character. She isn’t a bad person, people just think of her bad. She likes to talk to people a lot like some of my classmates. All she wanted was to be treated like she was wanted. When she and Lennie got to talking her and him actually had a conversation. Lennie is probably the only one on the ranch that actually treats her normal.
I feel so bad for Lennie when he accidentally killed the puppy. He didn’t mean to kill him he just wanted to pet it. I am not saying it was ok for him to take it from the nest. He should have kept it there. Lennie is one of my favorite characters because of what he does in the book. He kills animals not on purpose, but because he just wanted a pet.
On page 91 when Lennie kills Curley’s wife he doesn’t understand that killing someone is worse than killing an animal. He says, “I done a bad thing. I done another bad thing.” He treats it as though it were like the other killings. George will forgive him after he tells him and he won’t get in trouble for his felonious crime.
When George finds him on the bank by himself he tells him the whole story of how they’re going to live off the fat of the land he also tells him to look out across the river. The author does a great job here with detail and visualization. While Lennie is dreaming about the vision George shoots him before anybody else can get to him. In my opinion, I think that would be the hardest thing I would have to do. I could never shoot my best friend.
