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.
