Good afternoon /b/.

I just finished writing a persuasive essay on Of Mice and Men for my english class.

>Should George have killed Lennie?

Has /b/ read the book or seen the movie?
Should George have killed Lennie? Discuss.

It was necessary because otherwise Steinbeck wouldn't have written it.

Oh look, another homework thread!

It's been a few days since this happened so I figured it'd be safe to post this gem from a few days ago.

>Should George have killed Lennie? Discuss.

You don't know how to read literature.

>>2241847
Sorry, I'm confused. Why is that a gem?

>> No.2241858

Alright, alright, I figured it out /b/.
It's all became clear to me once I viewed the book through the lens of feminine Marxist psychoanalytical pharmocoptic New Criticism:

Paul was the walrus.

Morally, no. Killing is never right, no matter the reason. Artistically, yes. It made the book. It would have fiddled away miserably otherwise. But you're a fa­ggot, OP. a big fa­g

>> No.2242940

What would be a better world: A world in which killing was viewed as always being right, no matter the circumstanaces, or a world in which killing was viewed as never being right, no matter the circumstances?

This is nothing drier or less interesting than English literature pre-1950.

Of Mice and Men?

Yawn.

The Great Gatsby?

Snore.

Grapes of Wrath.

Booooring.

Ulysses?

tl;dr

More leftist propaganda. Lords of Discipline is a master piece though, and Catcher in the Rye is very good as well.
