__**4.28.o8 Mary Primm (the best) i love this book es muy muy buenoo!!!...my character was curley's wife even though she was a little toooooo friendly she might have a reason for being that way...maybe she didnt get attention when she was younger and she thought that sleeping and hitting on guys will help her out. I was very upset when she died because lenny ol' big hands broke her neck. Then again it was sad because lenny died at the end by his own friend GEORGE MEAN SELF!!!.Then again he might had a good reason to that as well. Better for him to do it then someone else right? Overall the book was full of fun excitment and suprises...I loved it keep up with the good books Mrs. Ruu

4.28.08 Jenn Carlberg**__ I think that George killing Lennie was a true example of love. George knew that Lennie would be better off dead than to be tortured. I'm really glad that Lennie died happy without knowing what hit him. It is so sad that it had to end that way though. I wish that there were other things that could have been done to change the story around. As usual, that is never the case with stories like these. I must say, though, there was too much language for my taste. Besides that it was an interesting and lovely story. **Amber W: I like the end of mice and men, reason being is because george showed true love and friendship. He knew that if he let someone else shot lennie, it would be out of hatered, George shot lennie out of love and also to free him from a life of pain and haressment**

I was shocked at the end of the book when Lennie was shot by George. I don't know why he killed him. I know he didn't want them to kill him but rather than George killing him couldn't they just run away and hide or something? I felt awful when Linnie killed the puppy. he didn't mean to but he didn't know whatelse to do except hit it. Then after the puppy died he didn't want George to find out because he wanted to take care of the rabbits and he thought if George found out he wouldn't let him. Linnie just wanted to take care of that little puppy but obviously that wasn't a good idea.**
 * Jenn Banks:

I really like this book from the beginning to the end. Is silly but a little twist story about people on this earth. Seems like they want to do is have sex with women. They think women is good enough for sex. [thats the only thing that they are good for] and they can't control their sexual hormones. "hahahah." but all women are not like that. [is sad, tisk tisk tisk.] But anyway I couldn't believe that Lennie killed Curley's wife. It was so sad that slutty women wanted to seek attention so bad from all the men because her husband is not full-filling her needs. I think all the women shoukd recieved tender loving care and respect from all the men out there. I felt so bad that Curley's wife died. Before she died she thinks nobody cares about her. It hurt in the inside that her own man dont take his time to be with his loving wife. Man should respect their own women and give her what she wants and what she needs. So she knows that he loves and care about her but in return when she feels that way. She wont be thinking to talk to other guys and flirt with them. She will cater to Curley til the day she dies. But all of that never happened. Men should be smart about this things. [For real]

Other than that I was so sad that Lennie killed the pup. Little innocent creature because Lennie is not handling it with care and love. He always want to harass and grab on really tight on to people. He got mental issues. He need to seek a doctor and get his self together before more people got hurt. But he's not careful. Now he got killed because of his mistakes. Its really sad. I think George was crushed that Lennie got killed.

this book is a good book... i think curleys wife reminds me of the girl we read about in our lit book... guys think women are only good for sex... when really thats all guys want. we can do more than just sex... but some girls just want attention but the attention they bring only gets them in more trouble. Lenni is the one character i pity most. he knows wat he doing without knowing...get it? its a shame he had to die for his actions.but it is understood why... but Lenni was scarying curleys wife so that why he hurt her cuz he scared her and she scared him. he has issues. medical help would have prevented alot of this but he couldnt seek it. his illness costed him his life. i think George is hurt over the fact that lenni got killed. All he wanted was to take care of that puppy but he ended up killen it. and all he tried to do was take care of the rabbits like george said he could... this story reminds me of the movie Green Mile.

Mary Martin-This book was way more interesting and to the point to me than TEWWG. Curlys wife was so misunderstood, all she wanted was t0 feel wanted because she wasnt gettin that love and attention from her husband. i also thoght it was interesting how the authour used the clangin of the keys as a foreshawdow of death. THIS BOOK WAS REALLY GOOD I THINK WE SHOULD READ MORE BY THIS AUTHOUR. THIS STORY REMINDS ME OF THE GREEN MILE ..LIKE I SAID IN CLASS ... WITH THE BIG BLACK SLOW GUY AND THE LITTLE WHITE MAN, EXCEPT FOR IN THIS BOOK ALL THE CHARECTERS WERE WHIT. IT WAS SAD LINNE HAD TO DIE.

**Ricky Trujillo**- OF MICE AND MEN was a good book but it was so short. The last two chapters had a lot of excitement in it. When Lennie started holding onto Curly’s wife, it reminded me that earlier in the book when he got kicked out of town because he did the same thing to a girl. It was so random and totally unexpected when he threw her and killed her! I felt so bad for Lennie because he was so scared and that’s why he threw her. I didn’t really like her throughout the book but when she said how she didn’t like how she can’t talk to Lennie because George always think she’s going to tell her, I started feeling sorry for her because she just wanted to talk. But I’m just glad that Lennie could remember where George told him to go hide. I think Lennie’s conditions were getting better because he could remember things better now and he probably remembered when he got ran out of town because of that other girl that kept screaming when he touched her dress. But George was strong because when he finally found Lennie, he knew that he had to kill him before Curly and his group found him and tortured him and he had to remain calm for Lennie. The book was good but it ended on a sad note. KIARA- EVEN THOUGH I HAVENT READ THE WHOLE BOOK WITH THE CLASS DUE TO MY SHORT VACATION, THE PART OF THE BOOK THAT I HAVE READ WAS GREAT. I UNDERSTOOD WHEN CURLY'S WIFE WAS COMPLAINING BECAUSE SHE FELT LIKE NO ONE WANTED TO TALK TO HER BUT I DIDNT LIKE THE WAY SHE CARRIED HERSELF. I MEAN TO ME SHE WANTED TOO MUCH ATTENTION, BUT WHO DONT NEED ATTENTION SOMETIMES. I DONT FEEL LIKE CURLY GAVE HER ENOUGH ATTENTION OR SHE WOULDN'T BE OUT SEARCHING FOR SOME. IT WAS VERY INTERESTING THE WAY CURLY'S WIFE AND LENNIE WAS COMMUNICATING, SHE SHARED HER LIFE STORIES WITH HIM. NOW, I DO BELIEVE THAT LENNIE IS VERY SWEET, HE REALLY IS BUT SOMETIMES HE JUST DOESNT KNOW ANY BETTER. IT WAS VERY SHOCKING WHEN SHE ASKED LENNIE TO FEEL HER HAIR, HE HESITATED BUT SHE WANTED HIM TO.WHAT HAPPENED NEXT WAS VERY PREDICTABLE BUT IT WAS SAD WHEN HE SHOOK HER TO DEATH TO STOP HER FROM SCREAMING. WELL NO IM GOING TO SAY IT WAS GROSS. I DO RESPECT GEORGE FOR TAKING CARE OF LENNIE ALL THIS TIME. HE HELD ALOT ON HIS SHOULDERS BUT HE MADE IT OUT OK. IT HURT ME TO MY HEART WHEN GEORGE HAD NO CHOSE BUT TO KILL LENNIE. BUT IT HAD TO BE DONE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS AUTHOR'S IMAGINATION IS OUTSTANDING....HE MADE IT EASY TO READ AND VERY UNDERSTANDABLE.....I REALLY ENJOYED THIS BOOK...AND I HOPE TO READ MORE.....

Kelsey Ballou: Wow, I really didn't expect George to shoot Lennie at the end, I really expected him to take Lennie and run aways from the guys and go hide in the brush or a cave...I personnally blame Curly's wife for it all. If she hadn't gone around looking for trouble, and trying to "talk" to Lennie then nothing would have happened..but no, she had to always have some guys attention. Plus she's the one that told him to touch her hair..so you can't really blame Lennie for it. And I really feel bad for George, he had to not only take care of Lennie all the time, but he ended up having to shoot his best friend...I know I wouldn't be able to do something like that it would be too much for me to bare.

Ramon Figueroa- This has to be one of the biggest twist in a story that ive read! The way the author foreshadowed the story with death using rattling chains was great. Throughout the story, perhaps on every page, there is a sense of joy, of happiness, with reference to Lennie and the rabbits. He spends his days with nothing to look forward to but the knowledge that he will soon get to tend to the rabbits. Now if you paid close attention, when the author first started putting emphasis on rattling chains, the man got his dog shot, death. When the chains were mentioned again, that was a foreshadow that death was soon to come. The death of Curly’s wife was tragic. A confused man not knowing what he was doing, just looking forward to a happy life, kills a woman out of fear. And the best friend, fighting whether to save his friend from a slow and painful death, or take his life quick and painless himself. God be with George, a brave and loving person.

(Mychael) I thought the ending was wack and didnt get the last few sentences. I also thought it was sad George had to kill lenny just because of something he didnt mean to do.

Jordan Rodriguez- This is one of the first books that I actually enjoyed reading but it’s too bad it had to finish with a totally unexpected ending. I think George should have escaped with Lennie in the first place and not have let him go off alone. George definitely wouldn’t have had to knock Lennie’s block off if he would have stuck with him, but unfortunately I didn’t write the book. The whole “chain” thing leading us up to the end was really spectacular. Steinbeck did an excellent job with that. This was a very good choice in letting us read this book mrs Ruu! I liked it a lot! Hopefully the next book will be as exciting. : )

Aldo Cattoi- I absolutely loved this book. It had so many hidden themes and messages. The ending was so incredible and it did an amazing job at depicting true love and care for someone. George took his best friends life in order to keep him from suffering. Amazing.

Jenn Banks: 4-28-08 I really am getting into this book. I can relate to it in so many ways. When the mom found out that her daughter wasn't going to college anymore she got upset. She was confused about why her daughter would lie to her about going to school. My sister wasn't sure what she wanted to do when she graduated and when my mom found out she flipped. My mom didn't understand either. Jenn Banks:5-2-08 My parents are always asking me why kids are always going to the movie. My reason is because its fun to go and be with your friends and just beable to chill and relax. Not the case for Tom. Tom is like doing his own thing. He seems to be very private and unaware of what everyone else is doing. That's total opposite for me. I like being the center of attention. Everyone keeps trying to figure out why Tom is always going to the movies and he says just because its an excitement. Can't wait to find out the rest of the story.

Hey its Takira :-) I'm sorry I havent been on but I've been like **__REALLY__** busy. But let me back track to //OF MiCE N MEN //..so I've read this book before and I must say it is an amazing book! When we first started to read the book people thought it was just a happy go lucky book that was funny but it really wasnt. Actually when I read it a second time, the ending was really sad to me. At first I didnt really think much of it but being in there with Mrs. Ruu made me think about the book a bit more in an emotionly sence. But over all the book was great even thought it was the second time around :-)
