My preferred difference amid the movie or book for Of Mice and Men is when there were no hallucinations by Lennie. Firstly the scene was unnecessary. I already knew that Lennie has a mental disability so all the scene did was add on to the experience. Secondly the scene was perplexing. When I first read the scene I speculated Lennie had died. Thirdly the scene was uneventful. This never had anything was brought up again with the rest of the novel, the scene was more of a page filler. In conclusion this is why I believe not incorporating Lennie’s fantasy scene was an excellent decision for the movie and I would have favored excluding the scene from the novel.

My least favourite difference between the movie and novel for Of Mice and Men is the
