Of mice and men compared
Watching the movie today was cool. The directors got almost everything accurate but they cut some things out and edited some things The beginning started with what Lennie did at Weed and how they were running away before they could catch them. In the book it was different they started with a journey we did not know they were running from something until later and way later was the reason why they ran. They also cut the part were they kill candy's dog we only heard the shot being fired. The last difference was that the whole killing Lennie part was so different from the book. He killed Lennie from afar nobody came and saw. There was no slim taking George for drinks. Lennie got on a train and left the ranch. He had flashbacks with Lennie and he seemed very sad about what he did.

Dear George
Dear George,
I agree it was better for you to kill Lennie. It was better if you killed him because you knew he would be in a better place. I know you were trying to save your friend because Curley or Carlson were going to shoot Lennie and they did not care about him they just wanted him dead for killing Curley's wife. I know it was an accident but she had it coming with all the flirting.
George killed Lennie the best way he could. He was gentle and the last memory Lennie had was really happy because George did not yell at him. George did not want to kill him but he had no choice the guys were coming. When george heard them coming he shot Lennie that was his cue. Slim was vey understanding he knew what really had happened. Then he took George out for a drink. I think you did the right thing.

Of Mice and men part 2
I think that Lennie does not like this place because he is very afraid to get into trouble. I also think that he is scared about what would George do to him if he got in trouble again. He is afraid to get in trouble with the bosses's son Curley. He thinks that Curley Wife is pretty. When Curley wife went into the bunkhouse she was very flirtatious with the guys and Lennie could not take his eyes away from her. After she left George said "Well, you keep away from her, 'cause she's a rattrap if I ever seen one. You let Curley take the trap. He let himself in for it. Glove full vasaline." In one part of the text Lennie says "It's mean here". I think that Lennie has a weird vive about this ranch. He does not feel very comfortable with those type of people.
