Of Mice and Men- 107

This book that I have just completed reading really caught my interest. The two main characters in this book are George and Lennie. Two men trying to look for work. After meeting each other George finds out that Lennie has some kind of mental disorder. They become friends, and Lennie relys on George to take care of him. A obsession of Lennie is touching "soft" things, such as mice, but hes so strong that he kills them and doesn't relize it. With Lennies mental disorder and strong hands, it tends to cause him a tremendous amount of trouble.While they were working a farm, thier goal was to save money and buy thier own farm and tend the rabbits and have cows. Lennie was so excited because George promised him he would be able to tend the rabbits. Near the end of the book Lennie gets in some trouble. He accidentally breaks one of the owners wifes neck, and runs up to the spot where George told him to go if anything was to happen. As Lennie sat thier worried as can be, George shows up and he feels comfort. He asks George to tell him about the land they will one day share so he can imagine that happy day. As George is telling him of the beautiful land he takes a gun and shoots him in the head. That really made me sad, because Lennie was such a good guy but hurt everything he touched on accident. I guess as a friend he wanted to but him out of misery, but I wouldn't be able to that to someone who is inside so innocent.
