Me with my first mouse, 1973
I decided to do more research
on my furry little foe. Having a BS in English (making me
proficient to B.S. in English), I was supposed to read Of Mice
And Men twice during my academic career. I think I only read
it once, and what I remember mostly was that it inspired dozens of
Saturday morning cartoons. "Duh... which way did he go,
George? Which way did he go?"
I decided to check SparkNotes
to refresh myself on the story. On Sep 21, someone calling himself
"actor4ever" posted, "At the outset of the novel,
Lenny begins by killing a mouse which is a relatively small creature. He
then progresses to killing a puppy, and then a woman... Thus, the title
shows the progression in size of the creatures that die in the book."
My wife is looking over my shoulder as I write this. She's picking
up the puppies and carrying them out the door. I guess she's going
shopping.
Of Mice And Men had very little to do
with mice. The title is pretty deceptive, sort of like To Kill
A Mockingbird. I found the SparkNotes
to be very little help in my quest to kill a mouse. I don't really
want a big retard to crush it in his hands (why would I want to deal
with one of my wife's ex-boyfriends?). I guess I'll have to use my own
pathetic ideas.
Ok,
Varmint. Prepare to be murderized! |
