We did it! But as people can't give you the total answer all I can give is some hints.
Think mainly on the subject of Crooks, there is more, but I don't want to give too much away ;)

I rember that, i did it way back when... or nearly 2 years ago for gcse "/ its an easy one

[Ostinato]

My cousin read the book and thought it was great.

I'm in year 11 or 12 (not sure what you people in England class it as hehe), and I'm reading The Cone Gatherers.

It has roughly the same storyline, but is much more advanced and the ideas and characters are more developed. :]

[mmhmm.]

yeah i did in 9th grade. i cant remember which one out of the many books we did that year it was... sorry..

Year 11 in England is last year of GCSE basically your last year or school and then 12 and 13 in England are 6Form.

check out this website (http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~stephan/Steinbeck/mice.html), it sums up each chapter and has notes on characters.. very useful!

[RedStratocas]

Its mostly about Euthanasia (killing someone for mercy. Such as killing a dog after it gets hit by a car and you know it cant survive). The ending where Lenny gets shot is obviously one example, but also when they shoot that old dog because it was so tired and unhappy.

I was Of The Mice And Men Last year its a really good story and a the film is a emotional but that question didn't come in my exam

[DCeption]

I liked of mice and men - poor old lenny gets shot :(

[joshuar]

i remember doing this, was a big waste of time. but i still got a good mark for it so im not complaning.

so many of you gave the ending away, however the film is good, "george" lololol (yes im sad but if you have watched the film you will know how lennie says george and its funny =])

[Pyroka]

Heh done this, it was quite good. The film was ok, but it wasnt as good as the book, like most book to movie conversions... I did Holes too, im on Romeo & Juliet right now, next term is Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde. That'll be good. Its quite easy once you see.. Ill just comment on the Racism of it, and the disability. You figure out the rest.
