It was the ultimate act of friendship and sacrifice, on George's part, to kill Lennie. He knew that Lennie would be lynched and hung for murdering Curley's wife. He also knew that Lennie didn't know any better, he had no idea the power of his own strength, he did not fully know the ramifications of what he had done, but he did know that it was bad and that he might get into trouble. George basically spared Lennie from a death filled with pain and suffering and Lennie almost had this moment of clarity when he knows what George has to do and he's ok with it. 3.
But the ending wasn’t satisfying because the adult just told the boys I hope no one got killed and then Ralph said while crying “Only 2” then it ended. If I were on the island and were one of the boys I would’ve handled the conflict probably the same way because I’d probably lose my mind like all of them too and not know what the right thing to do would be. - The hidden message in this story is that Democracy is beautiful, yet fragile.

I’ll steal it and hide it; and by and by when I’m away down the river, I’ll write a letter and tell Mary Jane where its hid.” (Twain 176) Huck was willing to risk his own well-being and income with the cons over helping out two girls he just met. He did it because he knew it was what was the right and moral thing to do as Twain was trying to express how to act as a
This illustrates that he wanted to kill Doodle because he didn’t do anything. This further proves that he really wants a brother to play with because he wanted a brother to run with and box with. Also Brother at the end of the story cry when Doodle die but at the beginning of the story he wants to kill him, as Doodle dies in the rain he cries for him, but in begging of the story fells some sort of hate for him. Therefore, this shows that over the time of knowing Doodle he matured and saw that Doodle really wanted to do all he could and be the best brother he could.

Therefore another theme for “Cranes” can be “friendship come before anything else”. I would say this the theme for the “Cranes” because Songsam got his playmate from they was a child out of danger. An evidence to support this is when Songsam told Tokchae to go and flush the cranes and he headed for the weeds to escape that means that Songsam put his friend over his duty.
