Of Mice an Men

     I feel bad for Lennie since he kills almost whatever he touches.  So I would really pity him if I was around in the book.  I was really sad when he killed his puppy that Slim gave him.  I was also sad whenever it said that he killed all of the mice that his Ant Claira gave him when he was younger.  I don't like Lennie killing Curley's wife by snapping her neck.  Even though she deserved it, I felt bad for him because he doesn't kno his own strength.  He killed her because he was mad at himself for killing his puppy.  Then I hated George killing Lennie.  He killed Lennie because he wouldn't be able to survive in jail. George just turned around and said something to the effect of no you can't tend the rabbits anymore.  Then he just shoots Lennie once or twice then Lennie falls over dead.  So in the end Lennie is powerless in thinking he will get to tend to the rabbits. 
    
     I have felt powerless a few times.  It was when all of the choices I had couldn't really help.  One of my choices was to dive into my pool after my brother and try to pull him up when he had all of his clothes on.  The other was to stand and watch him sink to the bottom.  I chose to dive in and almost got him up, but my leg cramped and I let go to put less strain on my leg.  Then my older brother jumped in and brought him up to the surface and got him out of our pool.  He was sopping wet when he got out.  He got a towel and dried off.  Then he went inside and changed intoo swimming trunks.
