Two reasons why George make a good decision by killing lennie

Answer:

First, George's killing of Lennie can be understood as a mercy killing. We know that Curley is a bully who was already angry at Lennie before Lennie accidentally killed his wife. George realizes that Curley is assembling what is essentially a lynch mob. He understands that Curley wants Lennie to suffer as much as possible. Therefore, shooting Lennie in the back of the head while talking to him about their dream farm is a merciful alternative to what otherwise would be a needlessly cruel death.

Second, George must understand that as much as he loves Lennie, Lennie is a threat to the people around him. He doesn't know his own strength, and he doesn't know when to stop once he touches a person. George takes on the painful responsibility for protecting the rest of the world from a person who, although he doesn't mean to be, is a genuine threat to others. Whether it is truly George's right to do this is arguable, but it can also be argued that there are no alternative paths for Lennie.

Explanation:

Read the following segment from a paper Ali wrote:

The Yellowstone volcano is one of the largest volcanoes in the world, and it’s located next to Grand Teton National Park. “Sometimes [Yellowstone] erupts with lava flow, but once or twice every million years, it erupts very violently,” says Ilya Bindeman, professor of geological sciences at the University of Oregon. Unlike Yellowstone, there are no volcanoes in the Grand Tetons. The Grand Tetons are mountains that resulted from uplift along a tectonic fault line, and, according to the Wyoming State Geological Survey, are among the youngest mountains in the Rockies.

What was likely missing from Ali’s research process? Why?

A.
Credible sources; because Bindeman does not appear reliable.
B.
A narrow topic; because the paragraph talks about two different topics.
C.
Multiple avenues of exploration; because the paragraph contains few facts, indicating little research.
D.
Further research questions related to her initial findings; because the paragraph could use more information on volcanoes from other areas.

A Giant of a Man

A big burly man dressed as a lumberjack stands next to a big ox and holds an ax over his shoulder.

Back in 1913, I worked on one of Paul Bunyan’s famous crews. Let me tell you, there are many good tales about the legendary Paul Bunyan, but they don’t tell half the story. He was a giant of a man who could pick up four horses with their load of logs and turn them around on the road. He led crews of us loggers to hew trees and chop them into logs during the days when this country was growing fast.

Feeding Bunyan’s crews of ravenous loggers was a big job. Paul’s cook Big Joe wanted a griddle to cook pancakes. So, Big Ole, the blacksmith, made an immense griddle. The pancake batter was stirred in machines like concrete mixers. It was poured on the griddle with cranes.

One year, everything got buried during the Winter of the Deep Snow. It was quite a predicament. Paul dealt with the challenge by digging down to find the tops of the tall pine trees and lowering his loggers to chop logs. His blue ox, Babe, wore snowshoes to haul the wood to the surface of the snow.

Paul had a cow named Lucy. She had the appetite of a wolf. In the winter of the Deep Snow, the loggers gave Lucy a pair of Babe’s old snowshoes and green goggles. They turned her out to graze in the snow. She learned to run in the snowshoes, and she ran all over North America.

One of Paul’s loggers took a load of logs down the Mississippi River for Paul. When the logs were delivered, they were the wrong logs. Paul had to get them back upstream. Driving logs upstream is impossible, but an impossible job never stopped Paul. He fed Babe salt and took him to the upper Mississippi to drink. Babe drank the river dry, and the logs traveled up the river faster than they had gone down.

Paul could solve problems like no one else I ever knew or you ever heard of. In the Winter of the Blue Snow, Shot Gunderson was in charge of the Big Tadpole River area. He chopped his logs so that they landed in a lake. He planned to move them in the spring. To his surprise, when he tried to move the logs, he discovered the lake had no outlet to the river. He thought the whole winter’s work was lost. But Paul was always clever. He came up with an ingenious idea. He called in Sourdough Sam, a cook who made everything out of sourdough except the coffee. Paul ordered him to mix enough sourdough to fill the big water tank. Then he hitched Babe the Blue Ox to the tank and dumped the sourdough into the lake. Dough rises. As Sam said, it “riz” and pushed the logs over the hills that surrounded the lake. They rolled all the way to the river. Today a lake in Minnesota is named “Sourdough Lake.”
