There's a saying - "The best laid plans of mice and men often go astray." Think of all the plans that George and Lennie had, all of the plans that the other men in the bunkhouse talked about, and how many of them will actually work.

I studied of mice and men last year in fact, im now in year 12 doing my a levels in P.E, Biology, Photography (which i plan to drop) and English Literature =D Personally i believe of mice and men was such a fantastic book due to the realism within it. Furthermore For steinbeck to create such an incredible story in 6 short chapters was quite remarkable, and that's another thing that's great, its short. even more so it has such a wide range of themes, and as you said, the characters contrast each other in such great ways. Also i feel the fact of the happiness that the book brings out of us. The book my friend, is purely about loneliness. You might be interested to know that 'Soledad' actually is 'loneliness' in spanish. And the strongest characters we keep an eye out for in the book, apart from George, are all lonely, Candy, The Women, And Lennie. ahh sorry im drifting away from the question! When saying this is a great story look to try and notice the great amount of themes used, Loneliness being the biggest, but also things like love, hate, anger, jealously, selfishness, there's loads! Also a big one is the realism, there's nothing saying that an event like this might've happened once along the lines of history, Also the book is so short, and we get such a great read from Minuet 6 chapters. Also whats really well done is how most of the story is told through dialogue. Further more tha dialogue is done very well in the context at which 1930's americans speak. The story was produced to be performed on stage in factthat'sts why the book only takes place within 2 different locations, at the brush, and in the bunkhouse. I hope any of this has helped =)

The old saying goes "The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry." and this was refering to george and lenny's plans to have their own farm one day. George killed Lenny because after killing the young lady he knew that...well...he knew that Lenny was screwed. The guys that were coming for him would either kill him or lock him up and Lenny (although he killed) was an innocent. George was finally able to move on with his own life no longer hampered by Lenny.

George killed Lennie because he didn't want him to have to suffer and be killed by the townspeople. He told him to think of the rabbits and then shot him in the back of the head. The title of the book comes from a poem by the Scottish poet Robert Burns. But I also remember that Lennie would carry a mouse around with him and pet it.

Not sure of the title, and it's meaning. But George killed Lennie because they were on the run. Lenny had killed the woman, and was causing much more harm than good. I guess George was doing him a favor by killing him, because if they were found, he would have been killed either way.

can't remember why the title of the story, but George killed lennie becuase the townspeople were going to kill Lennie anyway and George wanted to be the one that killed him.

Lennie was killed because he had accidently murdered the girl in the barn. George killed him because he new he did not do it on purpose but thety the people in the town would hang him. He wanted to be the one to put him out of his misery not them. As for the title I dunno.

idk the title, but george killed lennie because he didnt want someone else to kill him, because of what happened to candies dog. and lennie was gonna get killed anyways because he hurt curleys wife.
