In my book Mouse on the Mile by Stephen King, it taught me that even the smallest things have a big purpose. It can make a certain group or person happy and forget where he is. It can also change the way of how a person once was. A greedy or evilish man to a nice or can understand people's emotion. The small thing cam affect how a person view things or learn the truth that he never knew before. No one ever realizes this until that thing leaves your life or you leave.
Paul, a man who works in the Green Mile sees a mouse come in the prison and Paul gives him food. Every sees him and start to call him Mr. Jingles because he is a unique mouse. Percy though hates it because he wants to be a tough man who he believes everyone should respect. The mouse learns tricks and makes people happy; they forget where they are for the prisoners and the police forget all the people who have died in the electric chair. They see that Mr. Jingles only stays with Paul and the rest of the policemen when Percy isn't there. They think that it was just a mistake but later learn that Mr. Jingles is actually smart. They realize he is the hope of prisoners and a warning for when John Coffey comes in that he is actually an innocent men.
Percy believes he is a man that people should respect because he is the nephew of the govenor. All he ever wanted was to be a witness of a exectution and then leave the job. Paul doesn't like the job, but after the years of working he got used to it. These are two different people who think differently. Paul wants the prisoners to do something right while Percy wants them to suffer for what they have done. Paul wants Percy to lteave because he thinks he has ben causing all the trouble. On the other hand, they might be afraid of John Coffey because he is 6''8 and stockey. Some of them are also racist. Paul thinks he will be the hardest to protect because he is African. In the world, racism will always separate people even if they are nice. There will always be a lot, but always a group or more who are racist.
After the book, John Coffey was in and Percy was in a fight. Percy would never learn that he isn't a man that he says he is. He only picks on the prisoners who are in chains and are about to die. He even picks on a mouse. Paul is a nice man and never wants to see people dead which he doesn't know.
