Setting in the American period of the Great Depression John Steinbeck's, Of Mice and Men grants the readers access to a compassionate story of love and effort. Lennie and George, the protagonists of the novel, move to a ranch in California, in search of work. Lennie is large, strong, and mentally disabled. While George, contrary to Lennie is lean, smart, bold and mature. As the move, live and work in a ranch, George and Lennie become acquintated to the surrounding neighborhood. However, at one point, George's naiveness insists him to play with the wife of Curley, where after petting her breaks her neck. As a result, George is obligated to shoot Lennie, for the sake of his life and the regret of letting others kill him.
I enjoyed reading this book because it possessed the thrill, pity and the excitement that made it entertaining.
Why would George chose to shoot Lennie, instead of allowing him to serve another punishment?
