Compare And Contrast Of Mice And Men
In the two versions Of Mice and Men, the 1939 film versus the 1992 film, there are apparent and obvious differences. One of the most notable distinguishers is that of the actors Lenny and George and how the actors are portrayed. In the newer version (1992) the actors convey a more realistic image of the novel’s characters expressed by their emotions and facial expressions. Lenny showed a more genuine and sincere sense of his disability that is lacking by the actor that plays Lenny in the older version who plays more of a comedic character.

Another contrast between the two versions is seen in the

He very gently touches “every plant, every flower, every branch of the garden” (3), a direct metaphor to Christ and the church.

    Of Mice and Men is a popular short novel that was written in 1937 by the author John Steinbeck. The novella is about the story of two farmhands, George Milton and Lennie Small, who have dreams of one day owning their own farm. The motion-picture adaptation of Of Mice and Men, released in 1992, is very similar in most aspects; however, the endings of the book and movie differ from each other in a significant way. The ending of the novel Of Mice and Men includes a scene where George, after killing Lennie, is comforted by Slim, a kind man at George’s ranch; be that as it may, the motion picture does not include this scene, and this obscures the intention of the original work because the movie’s exclusion of the scene where Slim offers his friendship…

    The way the book’s literature was just a manner to express how people in the 1930's lived. It’s a way to learn about a part of history. Foul words were used ,and the author showed the setting during the time period in that way. People wouldn't be learning the truth if parts and details were left out. Everyone needs to learn to face the fact that our country wasn’t and isn’t perfect. That everything that occurred was wrong. Every type of speech can be used in the right and correct situation. Others can understand how terrible it was for women at the time. While also seeing how advanced the world has become with the knowledge there is today. It teaches important lessons that should be followed in our lives.…

    In Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, the protagonists, George and Lennie have an ambitious dream that never comes true. Of Mice and Men was written through inspiration from a poem about dreams and how they often go awry. Steinbeck used the elements of that poem to make a detailed novella about the danger of setting one’s mind to one dream without any backup plan. Throughout the novella, Steinbeck attempts to tell readers that the American Dream is almost impossible to achieve and it is not worth setting one’s mind solely to that dream as people will discourage one and it will likely fall apart.…
