Explore the ways in which Curley’s wife is presented and developed in Of Mice and Men The first time the reader is introduced to Curley’s wife is when Candy tells George that Curley has recently got married and that ‘he’s keepin’ that hand soft for his wife’. She is spoken as though she is a pet/animal who needs soft, gentle hands when touched. This method of introduction does not present Curley’s wife in a favourable light. The men at the ranch are gossiping about her sex life which has been made public to them. Steinbeck leads the reader to believe that Curley does not really care about his wife; if he did, he would not be flaunting their private life and he would consider her dignity.
Com 9 12/11/12 CASE STUDY 1. Shawna and Ray started to argue because she had set up an appointment with a client during the time she was supposed to watch the kids while ray worked on grading papers before heading out to his mothers birthday party. Ray got mad and reminded her about the arrangements they had made and Shawna had completely forgot. He told her that she better call and reschedule the appointment and that she always puts her career before the family. Shawna became angry, she felt that is was not true and the only reason she cared so much was because she was doing it for the family.
She discovers some dysfunctional traits in her family (primarily caused by her father), and observes how her family deals with these issues in order to learn. Eve Batiste, the young girl, is the daughter of a beautiful mother, Roz, and a successful and prominent doctor, Louis. Her father is a skirt-chaser, albeit a good breadwinner for the family. Eve discovers this unfortunate truth one night at a party when she encounters her father fornicating with another woman, to which Louis unconvincingly explains that he was not participating in anything improper. She shares the information of what she has just seen with Cisely, her sister who is at a mid point in her adolescence and is not aware of how to cope with her feelings.
The two hit it off, talking about Choynski and what a candy puller is, that the reader wonders whether or not the two have met before. A day later, Mark goes back to Charley’s house, where he promptly has a seizure and has to be taken to the hospital. While in the hospital, Charley, unable to speak, writes Mark a note: Make sure Jesus doesn’t get them, meaning he wanted Mark take care of his things, which Mark plans on delivering to the Boxing Hall of Fame. Mark, though, does decide to keep a painting of Choynski, saying “I went there (Charley’s house) first and found the Choynski picture he’d promised me. It was one I didn’t already have.” By this admission, it is apparent to the reader that Mark is not a reporter on the job; rather he is infatuated with this Choynski character.
He is younger than Hulga. When he arrives to sell his bibles at the Hopewell home he presents himself as a pious soul with a devotion to missionary work. As he tells his story to the gullable Mrs. Hopewell, he tells her that he is a simple, country boy, with a heart condition. Like a key in a lock, the words from Mr. Pointer cause Mrs. Hopewell to invite him to dinner. Hulga over hears much of this conversation and tells her mother to “get rid of the salt of the earth.” (p.465) Hulga is suspicious of Manly, yet Mrs. Hopewell can only think about possibility of the yong man being a positive influence on her daughter.

Why Am I Misunderstood? Tyana Ingram COM200: Interpersonal Communication August 2, 2011 In reading the new article “Close Relationships Sometimes Mask Poor Communication,” I have come to realize that it does not matter how long you have known someone, or how often you are around them, you can still find yourself having miscommunications with them. In the article, an exercise was done where husbands and wives found themselves misinterpreting what the other one meant even when they were saying the simplest phrase. One of the wives to her husband, “it's getting hot in here,” as an indication that she wanted her husband to turn the air conditioner either on or up, but he thought she was trying to be coy with him (Anonymous, 2011). In the
The word “tart” which shows the impression and effect Curley’s wife has on other workers on the ranch. The word “tart” is very blunt and straight forward which is the effect Steinbeck wanted to use because he wants to show the reader the immediate impression workers have about Curley’s wife. This further supports my point that Steinbeck presents Curley’s wife in a negative manner. The effect of this is that the reader has made an unfair judgement about Curley’s wife without her even speaking. This means that the reader sees her as a danger to Lennie but also makes the reader think that she is unfaithful and has married Curley for the wrong reasons such as money and power which is what all ambitious women
“Turned back eagerly to his scrutiny of the house,” shows that Gatsby is still desperate for Daisy even after she has returned to Tom. Daisy told Gatsby earlier in the novel that she loved him, but in the end she chose Tom and has betrayed the love of Mr. Gatsby. “Watching over nothing,” is Nick’s way of saying the Gatsby’s dream is over yet he still continues to watch Daisy through their kitchen window. Gatsby is betraying himself because he knows that his dream ended earlier that day, but he won’t let go of that dream and is going to such extents to spy on his
