Of mice and men: difference between book and movie

Personally, i dont think the book and movie had any difference at all.  Everything Lennie and george said in the movie was exactly word for word from the book.  To me the two were exactly the same except with the movie you can actually see the characters and thats all.  The Book and the movie were very good though and im glad we experienced both.

Dear George

Dear George,

I agree with your decision of killing Lennie, because lets face it, Curley and the rest of the guys were gonna kill him anyway, but in a way more brutal way for example, "ill shoot 'im in the guts" and "shoot for his guts, it'll double him over". It was a good decision that you made to kill Lennie yourself because you left him off feeling happy thinking about his future ranch and bunny's.  If you would have let curley and his boys kill lennie, you probably would have felt bad knowing that someone else killed your friend and you let it happen.

Even though Lennie made a bad choice by killing Curley's wife, he was your friend and you put him out of his missory that he would have had to go through if you didnt kill him yourself.  What you did was exactly like what happened with candy and his dog.  Nobody liked the dog and someone killed it instead of curley, and he felt bad about it.  You took it upon yourself to take care of business with lennie, and you know what you did was the right thing above all that could have happened.  At least he died with happiness inside of him.

i think lennie is so afraid of staying, for one, i think he has a feeling inside of him that knows he will get in some trouble at some point, amd because of this, pg. 31 "Le's go , george. Le's get outta here. its mean here". to go along with the possible feeling that lennie has of getting in trouble heres this, "but when she was standin in the doorway showin her legs, you wasnt lookin the other way neither". lennie knows he likes that girl, and because of what happened with the other girl, i think lennie wants to leave before he engages with her, or does something wrong to her like holding on to that girls dress. The reason lennie cares about getting in trouble so much is only for one reason in the whole world.  He wants to tend the future rabbits at the future ranch with george and george said he couldnt tend the rabbits if he got into trouble so he remember's this more than anything. Dont get into trouble and tending the rabbits.  Lennie is a good guy but it is inevidable for him to cause trouble because he is not very smart.

Of Mice And Men Part 1

1.) Lennie is dependent on george because, he is not really mentally stable, he probably couldnt take care of himself on his own without george looking out for him and caring for him.  Lennie probably couldnt get a job or eat either without george because again, he is not all there mentally.  George is kind of like a father to Lennie because he is always scolding him for doing something stupid or wrong, and he does everything for him like a father would. Lennie is also so dependent on george because that is what he is used to and probably couldnt see it any other way.


2.) I think george still continues to keep george around because, he cares about him, knows that he couldnt take care of himself on his own with out george, and he probably feels obligated to take care of him and watch out for him because he knows that Lennie depends on him with everything.  I think George also keeps Lennie around because he keeps him company and plus they seem close like family sort of, so i dont think george would ever leave Lennie hanging for any reason.

What do you predict will be the symbolism between Melinda and the tree?

marleen thinks that the tree represents the actions she does with her personality through out the book

Are schools really this place that is isolating or is it just the student that isolates him/herself?

marleen thinks its icolating because we dont have as much room to roam around in school,

If Melinda's parents were more involved, do you think her relationship and feelings toward them would be different? Also, would her attitude in life be more positive?

marleen thinks if her parents were involved she would have a better relationship and happy feelings with them, also her attitude in life would be more posisitve because she has her parents support.

What do you think of the book so far? Even though it may be a bit dramatic, is it far from reality?

marleen likes the book so far even though melinda is negative with situations that occur, it is not far from reality.

im college bound!!!(i hope):)jk

what i discovered about my GPA is that it really wasn't the best at all. i Know i could have done way better so i was kind of dissapointed in myself! i wasn't excited at all!
This was a good experience for me though because now i know what it takes to get good grades and it makes me more motivated to do better and succeed, because  I AM COLLEGE BOUND and plus i have to no matter what if i want to make it to a UC college.

What i learned about the schools i want to attend in the future is that it is hard to get into all of them!!! and what i kind of got out of all the research i did about the colleges is that, to make it in and get accepted, your academic grades and anything you can think of that is associated with high school that you do has to be OFF THE CHARTS , unique, and stood out from everyone else, mainly to put a good impression down on the college which is very important in my book.

The next step for me is to do the best i can do in school and try my absolute best to keep my grades up to the highest extent of my abilities. Considering we are only in september i am going to take the path of hard work, integrity, some more hard work, and lots of studying for all of my classes to do awesome on every test and quiz, and that will be my path/goal for all 4 years of high school because thats my only choice if im going to be COLLEGE BOUND!!!!!!!

sensory writing touch

The feeling of curiousity and suspense of what i was about to touch was unbelievable. My heart pounded and pounded harder and faster every second longer i waited to feel this object or substance.  I heard people screaming and yelling eww!!! and it made me think more and more about what it was that was gonna be in my hand.  As soon as the person next to me had their chance to feel the unkown, they cried ughhh, and i knew that my turn was coming up.  Diana slowly grabbed hold of my hand and slipped it threw this what seemed to be ice cold glass cylinder and right when i thought that this is what ive been waiting for, i felt this extremely goopy, slimey, wet substance at the bottom of the glass and it gave me the goosebumps because i wasnt expecting nothing like this to happen.  This substance was even colder than the inside of the glass and it was semi firm but at the same time was as disgusting feeling as a fresh batch of silly puddy. the longer my experience was with my hand touching the substance i realized that it was as smooth as butter and was as soft as a snow white cloud in the sky but it was a sensation of refreshement because it is so hot today.  as my hand slowly came out of the glass i realized the substance also had characteristics that werent so smooth but rather bumpy as an old street but it was a mysterious substance because i had no clue of what it was.  the Bumpy chunks in the substance complemented the smoothness like fruit and yogurt, the yogurt is smooth and the fruit is chunky.  My hand is finally out of the glass and i realize what i have just touched is edible, it tastes good too.(i bet u just laughed diana!!!!haha)

like danny and how he feels about not fitting in and being accepted by everyone especially in leucadia, i have had an experience where on the first day of seventh grade where i was at a new school, everyone would try and pick on me and start fights with me just because they felt like it because im not the kind of person to be provocative or cocky so they really had no reason at all.  this happened for like 2 weeks, there was people constantly talking smack and trying to start fights and to be honest i had no reason why people were like this. it didnt make me feel bad or anything but i would just remember coming home from school so angry because i was sick of these people being like that towards me, but eventually i gained my respect to everyone and they never were like that again.( sort of the same concept of how danny felt but not exactly the same)

sound is art

http://margaretnoble.net/blog/fanphony/


There is a Buzzing sensation everywhere, in the tone of a high pitched monotone vibration like when someone is calling you in vibrate mode, the sound is a swarm of bees flying bye like the air from a fan but at the same time i make a long low pitched voice that prejects into the fan which comes together to make this unique and interesting noise.  The Buzzing continues and it is now an amusement park of a collaboration of sounds, but the staff at the amusement park forgot they needed one more employee so another noise adds in slowly like newborn baby's drink their bottles. the sound accelerates up, and accelerates slowly down along with the symphony of other noise but it stands out from the rest of the band of sound.  The monotone begins again while the up and down accelerating solo fades away, but this time the vibrating monotone does not change it keeps going.  It rambles on and rambles on just like your mother when you have to hear a lecture all the way home from school for not doing your homework on time or doing bad on a quiz.  At this point the noise becomes boring until suddenly a machine gun noise comes in and it completely changes the flow of the noise like a verse in a rap song and it could almost describe a train going along its track; chuggachukkachuggachukkachuggachukka, exactly like this.  This new kid on the block or in other words new solo to the monotone is louder than a chopper slowly lifting off the ground as it leaves into the sky, and similar to past solos in the band of buzz and vibration, it accelerates up and accelerates down for a long period of time.  this sound is so fun to listen to especially when when it changes right about now!!!  Zip ZUp Zip ZUP ZZUUUZZZUUUZUUU.....i know realize it is the nature made guitar whammy bar that continues all through out the rest of the clip and STOP....everything comes to dead silence!...guess what? the clip is over and then i decided to get up and eat dinner.

Mwb part 2

I think UNO regrets the situation with Danny because he knows and realizes that he didn't sock him because of the accident with his brother it was because of the awesome homeruns that Danny swung. I don't think he will ever admit it to Danny because he is way too ignorant and he has too much "pride" to admit it to Danny and plus his reputation would change if he said something to Danny about it. I think Danny has a way easier time playing baseball with the national city boys because he feels comfortable around them and feels that he belongs, and also I think that he feels the need to impress all of them maybe to gain respect and acceptance.

Mexican White boy

Uno's anger from hitting danny in the head definitely stems from something more than a simple accident. 
Danny came out of no where, and he was the new kid on the block ans he schools and amazes everyone with his hitting skills.  Uno is known to be the hardest hitter in stick ball and he realizes that danny hits way better than him.  After danny swung his last tennis ball and accidently ripped manuel one in the face, i think he felt that that was his Q to take out his anger but to cover it up and make it look like it was for his brother.  Obviously Nobody realized that it was because of this, because the reason seemed so clear, his brother got hit so he was ticked, but little does everyone know, he definitely despised danny and was jealous of his insane hitting talent.  I think Uno also resorted to violence towards danny because he didnt want to lose his reputation and get clowned on for having someone beat him at slamming tennis balls over roofs.
