When George tells him about the ranch he insists that he tell him about the rabbits but actions of Lennie foreshadows that pets will be trouble for him because at the start of the book Lennie finds a mouse but the mouse keeps moving so Lennie tightens his grip and kills the mouse. This is foreshadowing that if he has pets he might kill them, which he does further in the books. Lennie gets a secret pet puppy. Once again the pet does something that Lennie doesn’t like so he holds it very tight and kills the puppy. Lennie knows he had done something wrong because he was thinking George won’t let him have rabbits, so he hid the puppy in hay in the barn.
A well-trained soldier and an audacious hit man would fully understand the main characters of the book “The Wars” by Timothy Findley and the movie Bourne Identity. They would see beyond the defiant attitudes and changes that both the characters had undergone. Robert Ross and Jason Bourne both went to a stage in their life wherein they acted beyond what they used to. Ross, a caring and loving person, turned into a killing machine. Bourne, on the other hand, used to be an emotionless and fearless killer but in the end he turned out to be good man.
As well another example is, when in the book George is talking about how Lennie got him in trouble in Weed, but the movie shows this as a flashback scene. Some happenings got shifted around or even left out. An example is in the beginning where Lennie gets the mouse taken of George. In the book the mouse is thrown back, but in the movie the topic is brought up when George and Lennie have to stay overnight at the Lake. In the end of the book Lennie is hallucinating about his stepmother aunt Clara and a big giant rabid.

I became mad, an’ I told him to shut up. Then Candy came in as well, and him and I told Crooks about the house we’re gonna buy an’ ‘bout the rabbits. I like to hear about our dream, but Crooks was very negative, but I think he’s jus’ jealous. After a while Curley’s wife came in, Crooks told her to leave, but she said she was very lonely, I pity her a little
The rabbits appeared to dance in the air, leaping into a distant fog, Aunt Clara was calling, in his mind he ran towards her following the rabbits….then all was silent. George’s eyes glazed over, Curley said, ‘good riddance to the crazy bastard, he’ll kill no more women now’. George stood up, ‘this was never ‘bout your wife, you don’t give a shit about anything but yerself, he showed you for what you are, a pigshit small man with a two bit mind, Lennie might not’ve bin smart but inside he was better than either of you, now git the fuck outta my
Lennie ‘snorted into the water like a horse…’ . He isn’t educated or refined, but rough and ready , showing animal like tendencies. These characteristics sum up the character of Lennie. He uses these hands to stoke soft things like a mouse but because of his awkwardness he kills the mouse, although he protests at George“I didn’t kill it”. Because of his simple mindedness, he does not realise his own strength and power.

Of course that includes the usual suspects like puppies, kittens, bunnies, & Bambi, but I even cringe at the thought of somebody killing a mouse! I hate hunting. I can’t stand the thought of it. Anytime I over-hear somebody start to talk about anything to do with the subject, I put my fingers in my ears or hum a tune in my head to drown it out.
The unseen narrator describes with little detail the coming of the rabbits, the encounter being full of curiosity at first. Later this expression, both from readers and the numbats, darken as it becomes obvious that the rabbits are invaders. The narrations and illustrations also well describe the land and its original inhabitants. These impacts include the stealing of their children which creates a negative view and sad response from readers towards the rabbits. The losing battle faced by the numbats and the final question at the end of the book, “who will save us from the rabbits?”, leaves the readers’ in such intense emotion and thought.
