There were many similar things in the book and movie and there where many different things, but lets start with the similar thing. One thing i noted was that both had a bush Lennie had to go to when he did something bad. Another thing was that Lennie killed Curley's wife and his puppy. A similarity is all the characters said the exact same thing as in the movie as they did in the book. Lennie was also as good of a worker in the movie as he was in the book.
Some of the differences were that in the book it was more of a countryish feel and in the movie it was like a 1920's feel. Another difference is that in the book Lennie makes it to the bush and in the movie he can't find it. Lennie is also killed in a more respectable fashion. By this i mean in the book geroge struggles to pull the trigger hes shaking and tearing up. in the move he tears up a little stands up and blasts Lennies brains out. In conclusion I think the book and movie are similar and different at the same time.

Dear George,
I think your decision to kill Lennie was a good but challenging decision to make. Even though it wasn't a good thing you did when others here about it I think that that was the only way to help Lennie. I know he wasn't dying or nothing but it was better for you to do it instead of Curley. I think this because Curley would have just shot Lennie repeatedly like Curley said "Imma shoot the guts out of this big bastard my self." I think you sent Lennie to a better place and hes now with his aunt and hes probably tending some rabbits.
I also think it was a bad idea because he was like your brother and even though his in a better place now nobody deserves to die that way. I could tell it was hard for you because your hand was shaky when you were trying to steady it. The part I didn't like was that you didn't tell the other guys the truth. The thing that you did that got me was after you did it you stared at your hand like you didn't wanna believe what was going on. overall i think you did the right thing.

Of Mice and Men pt 2
i think Lennie doesn't want to be at the house because of Curley. I think this because Curley hates big people so he gives them hell. A quote to support this is "He hates big guys." This quote is on page 26.The quote "Sometimes Curley's in here," she explained. this quote is on page 30. This shows that she possibly has interests on george and lennie which will cause problems between thm and curley. I think this because Curley already seems like a bad guy and a really unreasonable guy. I think beacuse of this Curley is going to try to get George and Lennie kicked out. I believe that Curley is going to end up hurting George or Lennie.
