Bears are animalistic like Lennie and because Bear can be dangerous without knowing it, they're often hunted down and killed with guns as a sacrifice just like Lennie in this text, lennie completely represents a bear in this text, feature wise as well, if you get too close too them as well they can panic and kill you, just like what happened with curley's wife
Just thought I'd tell those watching the video that the movie portrays Lennie a little differently from the book: - Lennie *did* attack Curley, but it originally came from obeying George's orders, and he'd done it out of fear. - In the book, Lennie feels bad for the dead puppy, but doesn't seem to show much emotion in the movie Hope this helps
Hi, I know this is a big ask but do you think you could do one video on just context and how each character to links to each specific piece of context before this Wednesday - my GCSE omam test if not don’t worry. Thanks.
I plan to work on George’s video next week - should be uploaded by late Tuesday. I’m afraid I shan’t have time to do a video that links every character to context. Good luck for your exam!
Ok, that’s still really helpful though. Thanks a lot. Also, for your video on Lennie wouldn’t you say he represents the vulnerability of people with mental disabilities not mental health issues such as anxiety.
@onofro piccolino I think George did see "something" coming... and is why in the beginning he gave Lenny instructions to come back and hide in the brush until George come looking for him. Sadly... George wasn't wrong.
I have not read the novel. I couldn’t watch the whole movie. I Would have watched it if Lennie had some game. I want a story with a happy ending with George and Lennie and the old man and curly’s wife living happily ever after
Why are you talking if you haven't read the book/watched the movie? If this novel ended where everyone is happy, then this wouldn't be a piece of art depicting how hard it was to live as a person who was disabled, born female or POC // born different in general. Steinbeck wrote this book to show how stupid it was to hate everyone because everyone's trying to make a living. edit : Lennie is disabled. He has a *mental* disability which makes him easily forget things. He is afraid of George because when he does something bad, that means he won't get to tend the rabbits anymore. He can't help it. edit #2 : Actually watch/read OMAM, then you might change your mind
The whole point was to be realistic and express the cruel treatment of people born different, u missed the whole point it was never about a happy ending
sure but you’ve got to consider his mental disability and that because at the time mental disabilities were disregarded, he never got the help he needed.
Go read the book. He didn't kill the puppy or wife accidentally. And felt really badly about the puppy. He was always afraid of George and upsetting him. He is innocent and doesn't know right from wrong. Seriously, go read the novel or play. It's amazing and you'll learn from it and have a better understanding.
I don’t know what I would do without you mrs rumsey! Thank you for guiding me through English!!

Well said xxfusion
Also love your videos

@@xxfusion0898 you are cruising or a bruising when u speak to me like that
It's interesting how Jonathan Steinbeck used and repeated the idea that Lennie is referred to as a bear throughout the novel
He was super strong in the movie. He squeezed a man's hand until blood was gushing out and the man was passing out because of the pain

Can you do one of these on George as well please
I’m currently working on the Romeo and Juliet videos, but I’ll be moving into OMAM next. George’s video should be released by mid April.

Case like him are rare thank god
Rip GCSEs

kuss kuss musste deswegen das Buch nicht lesen
I didn’t see him as a victim. I seen him as what he was. Crooks almost lost his life
sure but you’ve got to consider his mental disability and that because at the time mental disabilities were disregarded, he never got the help he needed.
so sigma. on skibidi?
He almost kills Crooks for something stupid. He kills a puppy and a woman he wasn’t a victim

In the movie he didn’t look like a victim
