Compare And Contrast Of Mice And Men

In John Steinbecks classic work “of Mice and Men” never was it more true that the more things change the more they stay the same.In both the written book and the movie Steinbeck creates a world of untarnished disregard for the human condition and the almost acceptance of death as a part of the narritive of life. All of lifes virtues and vices are explored largely through the eyes of lennie, a lug of a man with a soft spot for his buddy george. Where the book and movie take us is largely a matter of creative license and artistic interpretation. Both the movie and the book had parts in them that were both similar, and different. I feel as if the movie puts a face to words and you can express the character easier. The book lets your imagination
go more because when they talk about lennie about being like the strongest ad biggest man you think about a guy who is like 8 foot tall and really really buff also they did not really give him any facial features. When you go to the movie he is just about like 6’5 and strong. Also in the book it was hard to read lennie’s dialogue because he has mental issues and a speech impediment, but in the movie it is easier to comprehend.
