    790 Words  | 2 Pages

    This is an immigration movie geared towards kids to show and teach them about immigration to America. It shows them the reasons they (the Mousekewitz) left their homeland Russia to come to America. In their case it was to escape the Czarist rule of the cats, parallel to most immigrants who escaped their land due to religious and political persecution. Once aboard the ship to America, it showed the long and unpleasant trip to New York Harbor, where in this movie, Fievel gets separated from his family to inclimate weather. Once they arrive in New York Harbor, it shows children the happiness immigrants got when they saw the statue of liberty and the process through Ellis Island to become a citizen of America. The rest of the movie takes place in America where it shows “political machines”, such as Warren T. Rat, who really is a cat but takes advantage of new immigrants by dressing as a mouse and receiving the mice’s trust. With trust came their money and broken promises, just as “political machines” really did back then. The movie shows the immigrants hardships and poor living conditions in America with tenement housing and unsanitary conditions.

    What an amazing performance, I was so invested in the characters and even though I had read the play before I still hoped George would not be cruel to Esther. When I read the play, I pictured Esther as a very shy woman, but in the performance, she was not as shy and stronger. Esther’s character could have been portrayed as pathetic but she is very likable and endearing. There was a sense of optimism that Esther would rise again. I also enjoyed the humor that the actors used during several scenes, that did not really come out in the reading for me. George and Mr. Marks’ accents were terrific and all the actors are talented and brought dimension to the characters. I fell in love with all the characters except for George, just because his character was such a scoundrel. The actor portraying George did an amazing job and his transition from the George in the letters to the unkind George was seamless. Mrs. Dickson had attitude, sass, and a wonderful stage presence. She developed a relationship with the audience. I think Mayme was my favorite, she was completely into her character and she had amazing stage presence as well. She played her part to perfection. Mrs. Van Buren was adorable and I really felt for her struggle and unhappiness. Marriages during that era were basically for the benefit of males and Mrs. Van Buren is a casualty of that period. Mr. Marks was so loveable and easy to like. The actor playing his character did such a great

    In this chapter, when Lennie says George is ¨nice¨ and that he wont be mean. I think he is correct because George at the beginning never had hurt him they were good friends. Lennie killed Carlson's wife and a dog but even though that happened George was still a good friend. Then when George shoots Lennie in the back of his head, George did the correct thing because it was for Lennies own good so wouldn't keep doing and harm to other people. If George had not killed Lennie, Lennie would of been in jail or Slim or Carlson would of killed him but they would also hurt him at the same time so Lennie would of died in pain. George also did it because Lennie would have been suffering or they would have sent him to an insane asylum where he would have

    Lennie was explained as a beast in the book and, "his shoulders could fill the doorway." In the movie he was stronger and bigger than the others were but not to the extreme amount that the book portrayed him to be. Every other thing about Lennie was extremely as the book told it.I felt that the movie was wonderful and I loved it as much as I loved the book. I would give the movie a 10 because it was so great. The only parts that I didn't like were in the end it didn’t make me as sad as the book made me feel. I felt so into the dream the Lennie and George shared that I was sad when it was destroyed.

  • Differences Between John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

    582 Words  | 2 Pages

    Lennie represents the segment of people who do not get much attention and is insecure because of the differences that set him apart from the rest of the world. This idea helps make clear that society feels the need to judge out of their fear of differences. Therefore, Lennie is unique in more ways than others, because of mental challenges, which makes him feel like an outcast: Evidence is shown in the following scene where Lennie is relieved to see George. “You ain’t gonna leave me are ya George? I know you ain’t” (Steinbeck 103). This little sentence spoken by Lennie shows how much doubt is put into his mind when it comes to his worth, because of the incidents that always occur because of his actions. Lennie does things that most people know not to do, but can’t control it, and he wants to know right from wrong because he wants a good life and not to be considered
