favorite charachter

I honostly despised this book. It was pain reading it. So because of this it is difficult for me to choose someone that I liked the best, because I honostly didnt like anyone. Every charachter had good and bad things to them I thought. But since I have to to write this blog my favorite person would be George. I really liked how he kept his promise to Aunt Clara to take care of Lennie. Without George Lennie would have definetly been in prision by now. Im sure it would be hard to take care of Lennie without ever getting frustruated. But while George was doing this, he was also making money and having Lennie make money so they could both actually eat. In the beginning I didnt like George, I thought he was just a mean person. But as the book went on I learned to like him more. I thought it was brilliant that he kept telling Lennie the farm story. I thought it was cool that he was keeping Lennies dream alive. Not just crushing it like im sure some people would do. Even though he had to kill Lennie, I felt like it was the option he had. And im sure that it was painful for George too. That really showed how smart George was, because if Lennie would have been alive they both would have ended up somewhere bad. I guess I liked George the best because he knew how to survive in the world, and he was smart about it.

Euthanasia

Euthanasia - the painless killing of a patient suffering from an incurable and painful disease or in an irreversible coma. The practice is illegal in most countries. I personally dont think that this practice should be illegal, but of course it would have to be used correctly. Say there was someone who was a vegetable and had no chance of surviving, but the family doesnt want to believe it, it should be the doctors choice to pull the plug or not, especially since its taking up room in a hospital and jsut running up more bills for the patient's family. Also if someone had cancer or was dieing of aids, or something that was causing pain and the patient was wishing they would jsut die already, I think with their agreement that the doctor should be able to peform euthanasia. If I was dieing, or almost dead I would want this to be performed on me. Its allowed on animals, why not us. Where you live shouldnt have to affect the way you would want to die. I understand that some family members dont want to pull the plug, but its sort of annoying because they arent the ones who are in pain. I think that it should be up to the patient/doctor, and the family should ahve nothing to do with it.
