Mice and Men By John Stenbeck

The Dangers of Friendship Sometimes friends have to hurt friends in order to help them. This seems to be the theme of the book Of Mice and Men. Friendship is a rare thing between people in the 1930's. The companionship that George and Lennie shared was very special because of the trust and love they each had for each other. Though they both expressed it in very different ways they each truly loved each other …

…Though murder is a crime and in all cases is wrong, Lennie's death was more of a mercy killing then a hideous crime. George was in the right when he killed Lennie. Curly hated Lennie from the moment he laid eyes on him and would have made his death very long and painful. Curly's wife is the real murderer. If it weren't for her, they would have been able to reach their dreams. (73 words) (total= 647)
