My Favorite Character
After finishing the book Of Mice and Men, I think my favorite character has to be Lennie. Lennie is my favorite character because he never gave up on his dream of becoming something more than all of the other workers were. The other workers had a dream but in the end, they gave up on it because they thought that it would never happen. Even though Lennie did some bad things and killed people he is a really good person. I don’t like him for hurting people but in the end, it’s not his fault. George was really set on his dream with Lennie but towards the end of the book George totally gave up on his dream and decided to save up money to go to the whorehouse each week. I really believed in Lennie and wanted him to have the ranch he always wanted because he never gave up on it and anything was possible for him and that made me like him a lot. Even though he died, he still remains my favorite character. I can totally understand why George shot and killed him but it’s just really sad. Lennie was my favorite character because he was always nice to anyone he met, he always gave people chances, he was a hard worker, and he never gave up on his dream.

Euthanasia
Euthanasia is when you kill someone who is in dire pain and the doctor, the patient, or close people close to the patient. It’s illegal in most countries so I have mixed feelings on it. I feel like in some situations it should be allowed. But it shouldn’t be up to the doctor or family/ friends of the patient. If the patient is in a coma then I don’t think it should ever be put to death because there have been a lot of situations when the patient has woken up from a coma and been perfectly fine. It is a really tough situation because I think you should decide your death but you shouldn’t just let someone die just because they want to. You should only willingly kill someone if they are in extreme pain and close to death. I’m not really sure what to think about euthanasia because I don’t think anyone should die just because they are depressed or they see no need in life anymore. I think its necessary if they know death is coming and the days they are alive they would witness bad pain. In other cases, when they say you have ___ many days to live then you should live out your life and do the things you always wanted to do. I’m not really sure about my thoughts on it but I can understand why it is illegal in most countries.
