The ending of, Of Mice and Men was a very emotional ending not only because Lennie died but because George was the one to kill him. I do not believe this act is considered murder but more so mercy. Although I think that in today's times this would be considered murder by law.

Divergent showed me that it is ok to be different. Also that being different is better than conforming. Though I love the Divergent trilogy, it is not the most influential story I have read. That it a title I would have to give to John Steinbeck 's Of Mice and Men. This story holds lots of lessons if you take the time to find them. One of these lessons is that even though you try your best things may not go as planned. Another is with hard work you can create a better life, and to never give up…
