If you have read all of "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck, I (kameko) and Alex (satisfiedtom) present you....

OF MICE AND MEN: COUNTER-STRIKE STYLE

filmed with hltv on counter-strike 1.6, Alex and I, and two other friends created a video of cs, imitating Chapter 6 of Of Mice and Men.

This was an extra credit school project, and amazingly the teacher allowed us to use a violent game.

Using microphones to speak, we film a tale of Lennie Small, George Milton, and other characters from the book. Please enjoy our movie, and turn up the volume. The download might take a while.

SEANNNN (Kameko). you idiot.

now the whole world knows about our project...

i read it like a month ago inclass ;x hmm.

oh, we read it last year for CA

I'm currently reading it for English class. I'm on chapter three, and have a quiz on Monday. Everyone's been telling me that this book rocks.

We'll see.

Well i recently finished reading it. Lennie died horribly.

I've read the book back in middle school, it was good :) and the movie, yeaahh, all good.

John Malkovich, wee!

I've read it, it was a summer reading assignment.

moved to interests -> books forum

I read this one in ninth grade, I believe. I liked it a lot, but I enjoyed The Grapes of Wrath more. Steinbeck is one of my favorite authors; I've read a couple of his short stories, too. They all seem to have a common tone. Not exactly depression; that might be too harsh of a word. Melancholy, I think, describes most of his novels.

Required in ninth grade.
Hated it.
But Lenny was funny to imitate.

i've read it 4 times and saw both versions of the film adaptations.

piece of classic, i must say.

Had to read for English class for the past two months. Pretty sad, I cried for the whole of the last section

it was a mandatory read for my 9th grade english class.
we finnished it in about a week.
i didn't like it that much...

OMG!!! I had to read it for School and lets just say I am NEVER reading that book ever again.

It was required summer reading for going into freshman Pre-AP English

I read it in 9th grade. Light read. It's ok but not one of my favorites.

I liked it, but it died after we spent FOREVER studying it in class.

It was serious overkill.

I hate when that happens...

i had to read it my 10th grade year...i actually liked it. it made me re think how i view others and life in general

Read it in 9th grade. I probably would have liked it if I had read it on my own, TBH, but I didnt. They made me. Still a pretty good book though.

I liked it, probably because of the discussions in class we had while reading it. It was a good read for me.

it was boring

read it in 8th grade.

I liked it. Maybe I'm the only one who likes it.

I liked it too.
I read it in like an hour.

I felt so bad for Lenny though.
):
I cried so much.

Me too...

But it had to be done though and in a way it was better that he was killed quickly without being scared.

oh!
and the puppy he killed.

poor doggy.

Ahh! That was so sadd...!! And I felt so bad for the owner too, because he said that he regretted not taking the whole situation himself and the responsibility of his own dog.

But what did you think about Curley's wife. Personally,I thought she was completely misunderstood. It was all Curley's fault for the reason why she was flirtatious around other men and thus considered a "whore".

Curley was such a jerk! The only bad thing that happened to him throughout the story was that his wife died.

Yea.
I felt bad for her. :[
And i think George shouldve killed Curly instead of Lenny.
:P

I know, he really should have!

yea.
we should rewrite it.
xD

We read it as a class in jr english.
I liked the story, but I think i need to read it on my own because my teacher had us read it aloud and I got bored.

I really enjoy when a teacher breaks down the book and has discussions. I loved reading Macbeth in my senior year, because of all the underlying themes within the book.

This was an independent read in the 9th grade. It was light, so most of the class enjoyed it. The foreshadowing and parallelism is pretty deep.

for me, foreshadowing is always good.
