My favorite character in the book Of Mice and Men is Lennie. Lennie is my favorite character for several reasons. The first reason why is that he is the most innocent of all of the workers. He is the most innocent of the workers because he doesn’t really know what he is doing, and has a dream of owning a piece of land. Another reason why Lennie is my favorite character is that I feel sorry for Lennie. This is a reason why he is my favorite character is that he never knows what he is doing. For example he accidentally kills a puppy and mice even though he is not aware that he is killing them because he does not know his own strength. A third reason why Lennie is my favorite character is that Lennie is that he is free. This is a reason why Lennie is my favorite character is that most people picked on him because he was not very smart, and since George shot him, Lennie is now free. An example of Lennie’s freedom is that he went to heaven and in heaven there is no stealing and no fighting, so Lennie will not be picked on. This is why Lennie is my favorite character in the book, Of Mice and Men.

Euthanasia
Euthanasia is a painless killing of a patient suffering from an incurable and painful disease or is in an irreversible coma. However, the practice of euthanasia is illegal in most countries. While I don’t like euthanasia, I think it should be used with the permission of the patient. I think that euthanasia should be used if the patient doesn’t want to suffer from a disease where there is no cure. I think that it should not be used on anyone, only the people who want to be taken out of their misery. I believe this because some people would rather have a quick and painless death then having a long and torturous death. An example in the book we are currently reading, Of Mice and Men, Candy’s dog was put out of its misery be being shot in the back of the head with a gun. If the dog was not shot, then the dog would be in pain because it was almost blind and couldn’t walk at all. On the other hand, a person who hates life could pretend to have an incurable and painful disease, so the doctor would kill them, so they don’t have to kill his or herself. This is why I think that euthanasia should be used.
