The End

George had to kill Lennie because Lennie was getting out of control. Would you be able to kill your best friend, to save them?

  1. No I would not. I would be able to commit them somewhere to get help. But ending their life would not be an option. I could not live with the regret and guilt that I would feel if I ever did that. Even with a stranger and killing them I would be sufficated by my action every day for the rest of my life.

  2. I can honestly say that I wouldn't kill my best friend to save them. I don't think killing them is 'saving' them from anything. I think by killing them it shows that you didn't really care about them because you gave up on trying to help them with whatever their issues were.

  3. Personally I don't think killing my best friend would save them. And I would not be able to kill someone, espeacially someone I was really close to. I would talk to them and see if they wanted help changing their life. If they didn't want help and they were endangering other people's lives then I would probably call the police and let them handle it.

  4. I could never kill my best friend. Even if it was to save them. But I don't see how killing someone is saving them. If they are in a lot of pain and in the hospital with only a short while to live, I can understand someone wanting to save them from their pain but I would never personally be able to do anything even close to that. I would definitely try to get them help. If they are my best then I obviously love them a lot so why would I kill them.

  5. I don't know how killing someone would be the best way to save them. I think I would want to do everything that I could for my friend so that I could still have them as a friend. If you killed them you would no longer have that friend. I think that if your friend was having some sort of problem then you should try to get HELP for them. Not just kill them so you don't have to deal with their problems. Since kindergarten teachers have been telling us that violence is not the answer. . .

  6. oh no. no no no no no! i consider my dad to be my best friend, and i would never be able to kill him. especially after everything that me and my dad have been through. i would try to get him help before ever even thinking about killing him.

  7. I dont really know that killing them would be saving them...That doesnt really make sense. But there is no way I could kill my best friend... I cant even kill a spidar !!! So im going with a no that I couldnt kill my bestie! That would haunt me the rest of my life and always be in my thoughts and make my world so dark and gray. If my best friend died I would probably be depressed and if I was the reason for their death I would have to be put in a crazy home because I would probably go crazy. Just Sayin...
