Of Mice and Men: alternate death of Lennie

Two bullets thudded into Lennie's body which then slumped forward onto the floor. George stared at Curley's smoking pistol.
“You bastard!” roared George, tears rolling down his face. “He never meant no harm!”
Curley turned to face George with a content expression on his face
“Problem George?” replied Curley as he pulled a cool face.

I'm doing a Grade 10 Assignment on the book "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck. I'm extremely wise when it comes to things to do with literature and I'm also quite intellectual when I go about doing things. However, I've been a slacker and spent too much time off school and browsing 4chan. I usually get an A for my Assignments, and I just want to get this thoroughly done for 100%.

It's 12:00 am and it's due tomorrow, normally I wouldn't need help, but well, I do now. I've had to select two questions and write a response 300 - 400 words. I can do these, but I need some ideas and opinions on what areas to explore when it comes to it, what kind of things I can use to make it sound more intellectual. Any specific things I can make references to?

First question, I'll update with link to a second question once I get best answer.

"You are the director of a new movie version of the film Of Mice and Men. Which actors would you select to play the parts of the characters featured in the novel? Explain your choices."

Tell me what you think would be a good place to start, get me into a frame of mind where I can identify what I'm looking for.

Thanks! :)

A lame attempt of popularizing GETTING SHOT IN THE FUCKING FACE.

This is plain filth and I can't believe so many people consider it literature
