Chapter 6
Aunt Clara

Aunt Clara played an interesting role in Lennie's vision, because prior to this vision we think that Aunt Clara is a nice person, but then she is chastising Lennie in his own voice for killing Curley's wife.

Personal Response
I think that the book ended well, and the visions that Lennie had weren't in the movie, even though they seem pretty important. The visions allow us to get an insight on Lennie's character that we haven't seen before because it was covered by his stupidity, because unlike the development we have seen in in all of the characters, Lennie seems to stay the same. I think the book ending was better because it showed George's maturity and understanding of the situation and knowing what he had to do, and the movie didn't really show any of that. I really liked this book, and I think it was very well-written to fit such a great story on so few pages. John Steinbeck is a detailed, imaginative writer who deserves to be remembered.
