                             Of Mice and Men

   At the end of John Steinbeks Of Mice and Men george shoots Lennie in the back of the head. george feels he has no alternative. If he doesn’t kill him Carlson or Curly might. George made the right decesion toshoot lennie because Lennie might be killing more people or hurting more animals, if Curley found him hed tourtured him, or Lennie would be caged or imprisoned.
    
   One reason George shot Lennie is because Lennie would have continued killing because Lennie killed mice, his puppy, and Curley’s wife. One might argue that killing anoher human being is never acceptable even if that person is angerous to other living things.
   
   Another reason george shot Lennie is because Lennie wold have been tortured by Curley, Curley stated that he was going to shoot lennie in the guts to avenge hs wife’s death, Onemight argue that george or Slim could have talked Curley out of killing Lennie,bcause Curley is a irrationaland agressive character, it would have been nearly impossible to convince Curley to spare Lennie’s life, Curley wanted revenge on Lennie. Therefore Geroge made the right decision killing Lennie.
  
   The final reason George made the right decision to kill lennie is  because, if he let Lennie escape George would have been blamed for the murder, George was already worried that he would blamed because they are freinds that is why he pretende he did not find her dead. One might argue that Lennie and George could have run away together like they did when Lennie got in trouble in Weed and then niether would be punished for the crime however even though George and Lennie left Weed Lennie still managed to get into trouble and killed a woman George and Lennie would have spent their lives running from the trouble the Lennie causes therefore, George made the right decesion killing Lennie.

   In John Steinbecks of mice and men George and lennie were two migrant workerss. They always got into trouble because lennie likes petting soft things, and he is mentally challenged. George made the right to shoot lennie because lennie might be killing more people or hurting more animals, If curley found him he’d torture him, or he will be imprisoned or caged.
