Contrasting the Movie to the Book

To begin with, I imagined Lennie Small as a large man. In the movie, he was larger, but not much larger than the other men were, although he was stronger. In addition, I imagined George to be a little bit smaller, but that is just what I made up in my imagination. Now from what my third period class saw, we did not see the whole movie, the book and the movie were mostly the same. The settings, once again from my point of view, were a little different at parts, like the beginning where the bus driver drops them off and on the way to the ranch. Then some of the parts happened at different locations, like when the men were first talking about shooting Candy’s dog. The plot was just about right on for the book though. Our class ended after the part with Lennie going into Crooks shack, I think, it might have been a little bit after that part. I do remember when the tart was asking Lennie and George about Curley’s hand, which had a wrong setting going by the book, but I can not remember if that happened before or after the shack scene. The shack scene was very well portrayed though. The man who played Crooks did great that was on of my favorite parts during the movie. All in all, the movie and the book were both close together in plot, but a little farther away in setting structure. I greatly enjoyed both the book and the movie.
