Of Mice and Men

This essay is about how lennie is innocent to the murder of curleys wife. I strongly agree that lennie did this by accident and didn't mean it. And some of the proof I have is that George excessively tells Lennie not to talk to Curley's wife because all Curley's wife wants to do is cause trouble in the ranch. Lennie in the most part is true to his word to ignore Curley's wife. He sometimes even hides from her. This last time Curley's wife gets Lennie by surprise. Lennie is already nervous and scared because he has just finished killing his new puppy that Slim gave to him. Lennie and the pup were playing, and the puppy bit Lennie. That's when Lennie hit the puppy with so much force that the puppy died immediately due to Lennie's hit. also some of the quotes that will go with this evidice is this, "Lennie said, "Oh! That's nice," and he stroked harder. "Oh, that's nice."

"Look out, now, you'll muss it." And then she cried angrily, "You stop it now, you'll mess it all up." She jerked her head sideways, and Lennie's fingers closed on her hair and hung on. "Let go," she cried. "You let go!"(91).

and to finalize my argument this is something else I want to add to my statement ,Most people always have an innocence to them, some more than others. Those that hurt people intentionally and don't care about other people's feelings may not have that innocence. Lennie is the biggest kid around. Problem with him being a so called kid is that he's actually a rather large grown man. People say he should be locked up in a Looney house; he's never going to be of any use or do well in life. Well should he? He doesn't mean any harm. Lennie in this novel always acts like a child and never means the harm that he accidently causes.
