Slim reassures George that killing Lennie was the right thing to do. If Curley found him, he would shoot him in the guts, which is a painful and slow way to die. George let him die happily, when he was thinking of "the dream." He shoots him right in the back of the head, causing no unnecessary pain.

Did you know what does Candy's dog death and george kills Lennie death have in common?

Have you ever lost someone you loved? Well in Of Mice and Men there were 2 men how didn't like Candy dog. They only didn't like the dog because it was old & smelly. So Candy let one of them to kill his dog. Then later Candy felt bad because he let someone he doesn't know to let him kill the dog. Then there were 2 friends called Lennie & Gorge who trusted each other. But in the end Gorge kills Lennie because he didn't want to do the same mistake that Candy did with his dog.The deaths of Candy's dog & Lennie are the same because they got shoot on the head with the same gun, they both where sick, one is mentally & the other physically, & detente see it coming.The things that Candy's dog & Lennie have in comment. The death of Candy's dog is corresponding to the final section when George shoots Lenny in the back of the head just like Carlson does to the dog. It's also shows the hierarchy of power on the ranch as Candy is seen to have little power and Carlson takes advantage. They both were sick. The dog was physically &Lennie is mentally. Lennie is mentally sick because in the book he killed. They got shoot on the head with the same gun. Guys that Canady didn't know kill his dog & then George stilled the gun from them to kill Lennie, like when it side in the book (I don't want that dog stank in up are bunk) & that is what they have in comment.The things thatCanady's dog & Lennie don't have in comment. They got kill in different times. The dog die first then Lennie die after a few days later. They got kill at different places. The dog got kill inside the bunk & Lennie got kill outside because Gorge told him (Lennie if you do something bad hide at the blush) & that is what they have in different. It is because he feels that the dog isn't good for anything, it stinks, and he should be put out of his misery and because the dog is too old, it stinks, and couldn't barely even walk or eat. George killed Lennie, because he did not want Lennie to suffer at the hands of Curly. Curly said that he would shoot him, if he found him. So George did not want Lennie to suffer that way. Also Slim had said that if for some reason they did find Lennie and took him alive that it would be no good for him to be locked up in some room. Slim was referring to locking Lennie up in a mental hospital. So George has always done what is best for Lennie, so he did it again. He made sure that Lennie had no pain, he told Lennie to think of the land and the rabbit. George made sure he shot him right in the spine and the neck to make a instant death with no pain.The things thatCanady's dog & Lennie have to do something to be killed. They did something to die because Lennie killed carry's wife & the dog was old & was stinking up the bonk. Lennie was dumb & the dog smells. They didn't desorb to be killing. The dog was just old & Lennie kill Carly's wife. The dog got kill inside the bunk & Lennie got kill outside. And that is what they have in different.So can you relate to the story to the real world?By a 7th grader
