Of Mice And Men There were many differences between the novella and the film. One of those differences was how Lennie killed the pup. Another is when one of the workers named Mike who also worked on the boss's land, asked to switch jobs with someone because he could not keep up. The final differences is the way George killed Lennie at the end. The novella and the movie were very similar and majority of the movie favored the book. For instance in the text were Lennie and Crooks were having a conversation in Crook's barn, the movie captured the image that was in peoples minds. It captured the image because it showed Lennies emotions and how he was feeling when Crook's was asking him what he would do if George never came back, you could see the anger and rage in his face. A difference between the two is the way Lennie killed the pup. That is a difference because in the book when he killed the pup everything seemed more dramatic and then in the movie it seemed as though he was sad and felt bad but the feeling was not as strong as it was while reading the book. Another difference is how George killed Lennie. This was the major difference between the movie and the novella because Georges emotions were not high enough. In the story it mentioned how George was slowly and barely able to lift his arm up to kill Lennie but in the book he just immediately killed him with no hesitation and no emotions involved. The most important difference was the way George killed Lennie . This was the most important because you would not have expected George to kill Lennie after he has been looking after him for such a long period of time. Also because it is the end of the story and it just gives a twist that no one would expect. Those are some differences and that were noticeable while reading the text and watching the film. There were many more but these are the ones that seem to stick out the most.
