Reaction of 'Of Mice and Men

At the end of "Of Mice and Men" there occurs to be a ginormous problem. Lennie accidently kills his little puppy and Curley's wife. When he killed his puppy, he was just playing with him and he "bounced him too hard" said Lennie found on page 85. When he killed Curley's wife she let Lennie touch her soft hair, but when she leaned away to have Lennie stopped, he grabbed her hair. In the tussle she started to fight back, which then made Lennie panic so he put his paw over her mouth and nose. He kept telling her to stop screaming shown on page 91. Finally Lennie was done shaking her he had broken her neck.

My reaction shocked me for the most part. I couldn't believe that George would shoot Lennie. They roamed every farming job they did together. George knew that Curley was going to kill Lennie for what he had don't to his wife. George would have felt much worse if anyone else would have killed Lennie.  At least Lennie was thinking of a happy place when he died.
