Every year more and more books are being created into movies. In 1992, Of Mice of Men by John Steinbeck was also created into a movie. To summarize, In the Of Mice of Men book two men named George Milton and Lennie Small were ran out of a small farming town weed due to Lennie being accused of rape. The men ran to a new farming village where they worked on a ranch to make enough money for their dream of owning a small house and “live on the fatta the lan,’”. While on this ranch Lennie got himself into more trouble than before by killing one of his coworker’s wife. In the end George was forced to put Lennie out of his misery to prevent any further incidents. While the movie is very comparable to the books story board there is major differences.

To begin, the movie shows Candy as a very cheerful and welcoming person. I believe this because he greeted Lennie and George with a big smile along with always laughing and enjoying life. On the other hand, the novel describes Candy as a more soft-spoken but welcoming person. “‘you can have those two beds there,’he said, indicating two bunks near the stove.” (Steinbeck 18). As I read further in the book, the author didn’t have Candy show great emotion in a cheerful attitude. The methods of foreshadowing also made the novel different from movie. For example, the movie has background music to establish the mood. In the movie the director plays joyful music as George happily watches Lennie work. In the book the reader has to use their common sense to figure out what may happen next. To demonstrate the novel says, “Curley stared levelly at him [saying] ‘well, nex’ time you answer when you’re spoke to,’” (Steinbeck 26). To explain, the reader must put together the puzzle pieces that Curley has his eye out for Lennie (who was represented as “him”) in the previous quote and that Curley doesn't mess around. Given these points, the different characterizations and methods of foreshadowing made the selections more
