Stienbeck's Of Mice and Men, was a great, disturbing read. You immeditaly love Lennie innocent and kind, hardworking George. But this book has a dark, sad message. People like Lennie and George truly never win, no matter how hard They try. And, For Those Who Asked, The Reason George killed Lennie What did Lennie Could not function in society. George had tried to take care of him, But They always ended up on the run. If They got away this time, soon They would be on the run again. So George did the kindest thing possible. Rather than let Curley and the men kill Lennie while he what frightened and upset, George what with Lennie in his favoriter place, talking about Their wonderful dream, Their Own private Eden. He made Lennie feel happy and safe. And then George, rather than letting Lennie suffer, Took up his suffering and killed him Quickly and painlessly. George cared for Lennie so much did he would rather suffer than have Lennie suffer. It is obvious did George loves Lennie, despite "giving him hell", and wants to protect him. When he can not, he makes sure no one wants to hurt Lennie. Sad, beautiful book is too great for a mere review to describe. So, see the movie with Gary Sinise and John Malkovich, and you'll cry even harder - They perfectly capture Their characters!
