OMAM Book And Movie

Movie or Book
Author: John Steinbeck

The way that the director showed the incident in weed in a different way was that you could see the girl screaming and running through the field from being scared of Lennie which is different because in the book George is just talking about how "Dam stupid..." Lennie was because he did that even though it was not his fault but it was a memory that they were having not a whole scene. I think that the reason the director did this was because he wanted to show that something was wrong and also so that he could add the scene of George and Slim talking and the people would understand what was going on better than if George and Lennie had talked about it in the beginning of the book. One major way that this changes the story is because it shows why George and Lennie moved away from Weed and also shows how Lennie likes to touch soft things.

    I think that in the beginning scene when George was on the train, I think that the director did this because it shows how George and Lennie are moving away to get somewhere else. I think that one thing this shows us about Georges life is that he is a farmer that moves around for work a lot because of the dust bowl so every one was looking for a person to work for and it that was what it was like back then.

  I kind of think that he made a bad choice with her because she looks way different from the book in the movie I thought that she would look really informal and chewing with her mouth open. She does not look the way that I thought she would look like in the book with ugly hair and a huge nose because it kind of does not describe her in the book and I did not thing that she would look that nice but I guess that they changed it up a bit. The person that I would have chosen would be nanny mcphee, I would choose her because that is the person that I thought of when the book introduced Curley's wife.

  The first scene where Lennie and Curley's wife meet that do not happen or happen differently in the book is the scene in which Lennie is working in the field and then she appears and starts talking to him and then he says that George will give him hell if he talks to her because George does not want Lennie to get in any trouble. Another scene that is different in the book to the movie is when George is in the barn and she comes in and starts talking to him but in the book she is in the barn before he comes in. I think that the director did this to show that she has a wandering eye and is usually looking at the guys but that she is kind of more attracted to Lennie.

 The flash back at the end of the movie shows George and Lennie throwing barley into the back of a wagon and then after they do this they start to walk the opposite way of the wagon into the bright and perfect field. I think that the flash back at the end of the movie leaves the audience thinking and it shows them that George shot Lennie not because he was mad but because it was out of love and compassion for Lennie.

The line of dialogue that ends the book Of Mice And Men is "now what the hell ya suppose is eatin' them two guys?" One big thing that I think that line tells us about that person that said it is that they are kind of suspicious because they looked so sad and depressed and that person is kind of baffled about why they just killed what they thought was a killer and then the person who killed him is all sad and why would that be. I think that the main feeling that is left with the reader is like wonder mostly because they would wonder what would happen next and if George keeps working on that ranch. What I felt when he said that was kind of anger mostly because it's like you don't ask that question, is it not obvious he literally just killed the person he loved the most in the world.

  Some of my general thoughts or feeling on the book "Of Mice And Men" is that this is a real book and it has an actual real ending not something that people want it to be but what it really would be. Another general thought that I had was that it was that I felt a little sympathy for Lennie and also for George because they both had it really rough and they both had to make really hard choices and decisions. The biggest impact that this book had on me is that I really learned that I think that mercy killing is justified because before we read this book I thought that killing was not right no matter what and I still think that killing is not right in any form I just like to think of it as releasing that person from being hurt really bad. I would recommend this book to my neighbors mom because she is a good reader and likes books like this and also because everybody else that I know has already read this book.
