Mark, you shout for others to hurry, but you were in no hurry to check back here for answers.

The dog's death foreshadows Lennie's.  Both were "no good to hisself" and kept around only because their dearest friend loved them.  Both were disposable also--the dog is old and weak, and Lennie is mentally weak.  The novel is full of cruelty to the weak--the smaller puppies, Curley's wife, Candy.

The difference between the two deaths is that the dog is shot by someone who hates him, while Lennie is shot by his best friend.  After seeing what the loss of the dog did to Candy, George determines not to repeat the experience.  He makes sure that Lennie's last moments are happy ones.

siobhan, you have a keyboard. Use it. This is not a text message.

If you write this way on your exam, you are sure to flunk.

It's funny cos I used to write on forums using silly abbreviations for everything untill I realised how stupid it makes you look if you older than 13. Reminds me of 30 y/o guys with stupid mullets and bleached fringes.

I like this book because it shows how American society was always meant to be. Survival of the fittest. Those who are weak and don't fit in/bad people are eliminated and as a result the human race becomes stronger. Natural selection fuels evolution. Would the world really be a better place if Lennie and Curley's wife lived long enough to reproduce (not with each other - but with anyone). Get rid of them I say and MOVE ON! And that smelly old dog. He had a good innings, right?

What r u on Tom? U sound like Brucie from GTA4. Take it easy with the horse juice and try to understand we don't live in caves anymore and we don't have to put down the weak down like lame animals. Back me up someone please! Where's the justice in Lennie dying? Like Slim said, he wasn't "a mean guy." To dump him in with Curley's wife is just wrong!

Hold up on Curley's wife a minute. U r all clearly boys in here who don't understand or even care about what it must be like for her. I feel sorry for both Lennie and Curley's wife. If u want justice, Curley's the one who should have been shot at the end.

Someone get rid of Liu. Waste of space.

james, good point i'd say. There was no justice what so ever in Lennie's death. He had a mental disability. His fault...I think not! Curley too mind Paul! Curley was at fault, but he cannot be held at total fault for Lennie's death surely. In the end, wouldn;t you protect your loved one, no matter who killed them?

i assume you have read the book, maybe you should ask for help of a teacher/tutor/friend/family or related associate.

Argue that Lennie's death is better than any life he could live now that he has killed Curley's wife. In choosing death for Lennie, George has done him a favor. Had he lived, he would be institutionalized (i.e. in a cage) or jailed (another cage). Otherwise, Curley would kill him out of hate. George relieves him of all his possible future pain.
