"Of Mice and Men" was written by John Steinbeck and is a fictional book. "Of Mice and Men" is a book about two lifelong friends named George and Lennie. They go to a farm to do some farm work after running away from their old town, Weed. On their new farm, they meet many people, including Curley, a little boxer guy who hates big guys like Lennie, and Curley's wife, a tart. Lennie and George have many grand adventures on the farm, but George is out playing horseshoes one day; Lennie accidentally kills Curley's wife. Lennie runs away, but when the guys come back to find Curley's wife dead, George is forced to kill his friend. The four people responsible for Lennie's death are George, Curley's wife, Lennie, and Curley.
             The person most responsible for Lennie's death is George. The reason why I think this is mainly because George shot Lennie at the end of the book. Also, George left Lennie alone in the barn giving Curley's wife a chance to talk to him, and that is when Lennie killed her. George should have given Lennie more instructions on what he was supposed to do while George was out with his friends. The second most responsible for Lennie's death is Curley's wife. I think this is because she provoked Lennie into talking to her and into petting her hair. She was lonely and wanted someone to talk to, but she also was very flirtatious with Lennie. When she yelled, she scared Lennie, which made him hold on to her neck harder. Curley's wife shouldn't have been flirting and seeking other men while she had a husband.
             The third most responsible person for Lennie's death is Lennie himself. I think this is because Lennie killed Curley's wife, which made George have to kill Lennie. He also has no control over his strength since he was mentally disabled, so he died. And more importantly, he disobeyed George by talking to Curley's wife, which George told him absolutely not to do. The last person responsible for Lennie's death was Curley. Curle...
