Of Mice And Men differances of book and movie

The differences between the book " Of Mice and Men" and the movie version is the beging starts at Weed ( a farm or town) with a women in a red dress running to the sheriff to say she was raped by Lennie. Lennie did not rape her he just wanted to feel the red dress that she was wearing. Then the next difference is that they get chased by people on horses following dogs that were sprinting after them. In the book they hide in a irigation ditch until night but in tht movie they stay in it for like five minitues then it fades out and it is night and they are getting into a freight train and then falling asleep which never happened in the movie. The next difference is when They walk down the road they see the buss driver pass them and George took the mouse away from Lennie. Then at the farm the boss was eating and candy showed them their bunks. Then it shows them working in the feild. Then Lennie goes to the stabble bucks room and candy never shows and also culey's wife never shows that is all I noticed.

Dear George ( Of Mice and Men post 3)

Dear George, I think you did the wright thing because you did it the merciful way and less pain and you had him think of the farm which made him happy. "Lennie giggled with happiness. "An' live on the fatta the lan'." Where as if Curley was able to kill Lennie he would of shot him in the stomach with a shotgun. "I'm gonna get him. I'm going for my shotgun. I'll kill the big son-of-a-bitch myself. I'll shoot 'im in the guts." Latter on Curley says, "Shoot for his guts. That'll double 'im over." meaning that he wants Lennie to be chopped in half with the shotgun.

George was also planning ahead of every one because everyone rushed ahead to see the dead body of Curley's wife and you used that time to "borrow" Carlson's Lugger. "... and the men burst into the barn. Slim and Carlson and young Whit and Curley, and Crooks keeping back out of attention range. Candy came after them, and last of all came George." My interpretation of that is that he knew what he would have to do and so he did the one that would cause Lennie the least pain.

Of Mice And Men post 2

i think that Lennie said, "I don' like this place, George. This ain't no good place. I wanna get outta here" because he has been picked on by the owner. For example, "The boss said suddenly, "Listen Small!"... "What can you do?"". meaning that the owner wanted to see if he had any disabilities. Then after the boss left George said something along the lines of Lennie was not suposed to talk at all. Another reason is that Curley the bosses son, hates people bigger than him and has a wife that is a "tramp". "Curley seemed really to see George for the first time. His eyes flashed over George, took in his height, measured his reach, looked at his trim middle." which means he already did it to Lenny and he wants to fight both of them at some point. i also think that Lennie wants to leave before anything happens here like what happened at Weed.

Of Mice And Men

The reason Lennie needs George is that Lennie is really forgetful and has a child like mind and he is not that bright meaning that he is like mentally retarded I think. Lennie has a obsession with mice his aunt used to give him mice and he would pet them. But if they bit him he would squeeze their heads and then the mice would die. He is also on the run because he did something in a town called Weed.

I think George is keeping Lennie around as protection so if they are caught he can shift the blame to Lennie and go saying that he threatened me saying if I try to leave he would kill me. I also think that he enjoys the company of Lennie and he is using him as cover because one person is more suspicious than a single person.

speak interveiw.

Edger

" I think that the tree will represent or symbolize the feelings of Melinda because she was sad after the pep rally and her trees were dead or dying."

" I think she isolated her self because of the mistake she made at the end of the summer party by calling the cops."

" I think the feeling between them would be differt becaus of the she does not see her parrents."

" I think that the book is okay because i realate to it by being a freahman and i see what other schools are like. I theink that the book is realalistic because of te fact that many people have been in her position."

I'm Collage bound

When I was sick I missed the day of calculating the G.P.A. (grade point average) and I wanted to do this so I could stay focuses on the current homework assignment's and not have to worry about something that had passed. I found out that my G.P.A. was 3.88 and that is great but not amazing because that to me is a 4.0. I have all A's with a 92 or 94 in your class so and my grade point average has been a pain because I think it it confusing and does not really make since. I like my grade point average because I worked hard on it.

I did find out a lot of the schools I want to go to like Cal Poly San Luis Obispo is turning more to the agricultural and green engineering wile Cal Poly Pomona is more the the mechanical and civil engineering. I learned that I need to keep my grade point average where it is or get it higher to have a better chance to get in to the collage's I want to get into. The schools that I would not want to be in are the really smart schools like Harvard because I would probably be the least smart person or the dumbest person their and also those schools cost so much.

Since we are in October I most of the points have not been given and so their is a better chance to increase the grades but also to kill the grades you have now. so in order to keep the grades I will have to do everything and try to get extra-credit.

Sensory Writing Touch

Sitting and waiting to feel the mystery item and hearing the reactions of people like eew. " ahhh it is cold." I cant handle the suspense it is like waiting to get in the haunted trails while watching a scary movie, you can tell is fake by the death scene's. I hear Valeria say, " well at least it was not on my other hand" as she pulls her hand out of the container. Then it was my turn. I feel my hand being pulled of the warm desk that I sit at. The hand that is lifting mine is softer than silk. My arm brushes a side of a glass with something a little sticky like half dried glue. then my hand is plunged into a pool of the sticky thing that feels more like a pool of jeliten than is still cooling except it is cold and feels like it broke in to cubes when it was lifted. my hand is being pulled out and I hear go wash your hands so i open my eyes and look at the mystery item that is still sticking to my hand only to find out that it is jello.

Sound Is Art

http://margaretnoble.net/blog/kalimba_plex_glass/
The sound reminds me of a video that i saw with balls making music by coming out of pipes. the sound makes me feel like I am in the middle of a dessert with a native playing a piano/ drum/ bell/ harp.

The sound is the little child crying with the pain of the sorrow that is unknown to its self. The sound is a undeveloped kid in trying to tell us something of importance but it is speaking in its own language and you think what have I missed and we see the days that have past the days that music has endured. the song morphs in to a Melody for the doomed and we come back to the present and see the little kid is no longer Little but has matured into an adult that is omniscient in every ones live like a man in a fog that never leaves and also a fog were ghosts and bones would be hidden from view. You try to get the song out of your head but it has entranced you and the harp and piano combine making a vibrating noise and the mood is happy and the song would fit in a carnival game because it is as happy as a smiling laughing baby. the sound of the last note fades and you are alone and you cant find any music any more.

Mexican White Boy entry 3

I have felt like I did not fit in when I had to go to speach classes for my speach empedament, because I did not want to say annything eving to my friends. I also felt That I did not belong when I tranferd schools because everyone had friends and I did not. I hope I do not have to go through that again because it sucked.
I over came this by by talking more and so i got friends. then i noticed that my speach empedament was getting less noticable. I also noticed that I was less shy than before and that I liked it because I was more out going.

Mexican White Boy entry 2

When we read the part when Uno regretted the black eye he gave Danny I did not know what to think because I was not Expecting it. latter on I thought that it might be because Danny's uncle found out but then he might have regretted because he was amazed that Danny is such a great hitter and pitcher, better that any kid he has ever seen. I also think that he regrets doing it because Danny said that he ran into someone playing the Saturday Derby to his uncle Ray when he could of said that Uno punched him then uncle Ray would of done serious damage to Uno. I think that Uno will say something to Danny in the middle of the book to apologize because he feels guilty.
When Danny froze up at Leucadia Prep tryouts for the baseball team their, I think he was really nervous because of the scouts and because it seems to me that he does not like to be in the spotlight the center of attention. What really surprised me was that when he was at the fair drunk he was able to through a 78 curve-ball and up to a 92 fastball in front of a crowd but that could of just been that he was too drunk to be nervous, or that he feels more comfortable down with his cousins and National City boys because they are not in a uniform.

Mexican White Boy entry 1

When the bat hits Uno's little brother Uno goes crazy on Danny like "why you hit my brother b****" and so on when he cosed it when he was throwing the tennis ball harder than usual so Danny would not beat him. I think that Uno used the bat hitting his brother as a secondary reason to hit Danny because he knew that Danny would beat him in the game because Danny would hit the balls on the other street when he could not. I think the reason the bat hit his brother was that Uno was mad that this stranger (Danny) was just showing that he was better than him when he is like the best person in the col-da-sac and Uno wanted the money to spend.

Who Am I

I am me my self and I. I am Brad Machado that listens. Their is no who am I in my life but their is a I am who I am. I can do great things. I like playing Frisbee golf and I am good at it because it is part of me and I try to be better at it that my brothers. I am Hawaiian that jumps off the lava rocks in to the ocean for fun and climb pout to do it again. When people tell me that I can not do something I will do it to prove them wrong. My favorite color is blue because the ocean and the sky is blue. I am me myself and I. I am who I am. I am who I want to be not someone else.
