1. Is mercy killing right or wrong? Why or why not?

I think mercy killing is right to a point. Mercy killing is killing a patient that is in a suffering condition. I don't think it right where it is happening all the time. Mercy killing is a big deal. In this movie mercy killing was in this movie with Candy's dog.

2. What should society do with old or crippled people (Like Candy)?

With Candy it is just his hand. But I feel like they can't just get rid of them. They need to help them out.

3. What should society do with mentally handicapped people (Like Lennie)?

They should help the mentally handicapped for many reasons. The main one is they don't know how to handle themselves. Lennie couldn't control himself when he got mad and broke Curly's hand or snapped Curly's wife's neck. They also don't know how to handle themselves when things go to heck.

5. Chapter 6 ends the same location that Chapter 1 begins. How is the end of the novel similar/different from the beginning of Chapter 1?

Well it is similar because of the location but it is different because of the mood. Yes, George is putting a happy thought into Lennie's head but for George, it is not the same. George knows what he has to do and he has never been in this situation and it's just a very rough thing to go through.

I agree. When Lennie got scared he couldn't control himself. George knew that. George knew that Lennie didn't mean to do know harm but he shot him because he didn't want to do anything with him and did it for the guys. The happy thought was a very good thought to put in his mind.

I completely agree with you. Mercy killing is such a painful thing so to take the out of their pain is a good thing but to do it is the hard part.

{4}George is not very happy when he kills Lennie. He hesitated before he actually killed him. He did put happy thoughts in his head before he left. Another reason why he did this was he was trying to distract Lennie. It wasn't going to be painful for Lennie if he didn't know what George was doing and what his plan was. George knew deep down inside it wasn't the right thing to do but he did it for the other guys.
