2. WHY DID GEORGE DO WHAT HE DID (to Lennie) IN THE END????
(Use previous events, info, quotes to prove the foreshadowing AND the explanation for WHY he did it.)
In part 6, George shoots Lennie in the back of the head because he would rather let him die in peace then making him suffer from Curley. George knows that Curley will hurt Lennie and kill him with anger and rage, but if George kills Lennie himself without him knowing, Lennie could die without having to die scared from Curley. After Lennie kills Curley's wife, Curley was furious and was wanting to find Lennie to kill him immediately. George was nervous about Lennie and doesn't want any more trouble. When the men were searching for him George thought of how he told Lennie to go to the bush when there was trouble. George finds Lennie at the bush, and before the men come, they talk about the "dream". George shoots Lennie with Carlson's Luger that he stole before they left the ranch. In part 3, Carlson says "'Got a Luger. It won't hurt him none at all.'" (47) when he is about to kill Candy's dog. It made George inspired which made him kill Lennie with the Luger. Because of this, Lennie was able to die peacefully.
