    The book, Of Mice and Men, is one that invokes thought in the reader. Although the book is well written, the movie does not come close to those same standards. After reading the book, then watchisng the movie, I saw some major differences as well as some insignificant differences. However, there were a few that were very obvious. One glaring difference that I saw involved the character simply known as "Curley's wife". One difference transpired during a scene that greatly influenced what I thought of her. However, in the movie, this scene never took place. This difference drastically altered my opinion of Curley's wife.…

    In both Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck and Ain’t I A Woman by Sojourner Truth, the authors use literary devices to show how women are often objectified in society. Sojourner Truth not only speaks to the objectivity of women, but especially women of color. Both authors show that women are thought to be weak. Dating back earlier than the Great Depression, you can see that women, especially those of color, were often seen as second class citizens.…

    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…

    Discrimination and alienation are two major contributing factors to whether or not a society is able to work together and be one. In the novels Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck and The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, discrimination and alienation play a key role in the failure of their societies. Of Mice and Men tells the story of George and Lennie, two men who work on a ranch together. Numerous characters throughout the novel experience discrimination and suffer because of it. Holden is the protagonist in The Catcher in the Rye who self-alienates himself from society. Discrimination, Self-alienation, and alienation in general all lead to the downfall of society in these works. Even though discrimination and alienation are not the only…
