He likes to believe he is right and enjoys the feeling of being superior in his theories and thoughts against those of other people. We see it a lot with his lies and deceits. He doesn’t ever give up on his lies even when people are skeptical because he wants to believe he is right and they are wrong. For example when he was at the Grangerfold household, he was almost caught forgetting his own name, but with his sharp wit he turns it around and asks for it to be spelled for him. He didn’t want to be noticed for lying and told he was wrong.
The other men recognize his superiority and never question his actions or decisions. Slim is also sensitive, but not overly so. He is the only one who understands George’s affinity for Lennie, and also the only one to comprehend the gravity of George’s final act for Lennie. As a ranch-man archetype, Slim represents the cool justice of the ranch world. While life isn’t always going to be pleasant, men like Slim can assure it will be fair, even if that means
I had hoped that as time went on people could have learned to better themselves and become more independent. Sadly that is not the reality that I am now faced with. Now just like any other time people know unjust laws exist; shall they be content to obey them, or shall they endeavor to amend them, and obey them until they have succeeded, or shall they transgress them at once? All men should ask themselves these questions when dealing with the laws of their government. A government in which the majority rule in all cases cannot be based on justice, this is a lesson that still must be learned by people now.
Accomplishing your goal can also make someone successful, but it all depends on what type of goals are being shot for. Successful men and women are not always the wealthiest, and most powerful, but live happy and self sufficient lives. In Cannery Row , the main character are successful in their own way which makes them different and unique from each other. Doc is one of the most important character in Cannery Row; he is a good resercher that has no money but has knowledge and knows thing that many people don't. Doc could be the most successful character because he is caring, and has a really good reputation, generous, which leads to the fact that he earns respect from others.
Atticus is a father and a lawyer; he is not like a regular dad and does not like doing the things that normal dads would do. He is also very intelligent and kind. He is equal to everyone. Atticus says, "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb into his skin and walk around in it." He says this because he will not judge anyone
I also do not confuse his loyalty and obligation for an act of commitment. He is a integrity violator, he flinches at death making him not a coward, but human. As good of a man as he is, he never performs the act of
Although he is not involved in politics, the boys of his town admire his traits and believe that he is a perfect candidate to represent the population. Smith is even called a “hero” among some of the boys. Smith loves the outdoors, is good with his hands and is a “people person”. His ability to relate to the people is what allows him to resist tyranny, corruption and stand up for his beliefs. He references documents such as the United States Constitution and The Declaration of Independence as grounds for his arguments against the “Taylor Machine”.
He has nobody to look up to or to get advice from. This disillusionment the narrator experiences comes into play again when he realizes the Brotherhood is only looking out for the interests of themselves and not for the people, whom the narrator fights for. For example, after he finds out the true goal of the Brotherhood, the narrator finally loses the illusion that he can remain a free individual within the Brotherhood. He learns that the condition for membership in the Brotherhood is blind obedience to its ideology. Just as his college hired him to show Mr. Norton only what the college wanted Mr. Norton to see, the Brotherhood has hired him to say only what it wants people to hear.
This trait can certainly be beneficial at times, but it can also harm him, too. For example, he is always a trustworthy person due to his inability to lie. When someone needs to know exactly what has happened, Christopher is the person they should be more likely to go to. On the other hand, Christopher has a tough time keeping secrets and tricking people. All someone had to do was ask him, and he couldn’t possibly lie to that person.
In “Bartleby the Scrivener”, the narrator describes himself as a safe man who rarely loses his temper. He’s an unambitious lawyer who carries traits that are opposite of a typical lawyer. Although he prefers to keep a business relationship between himself and his employees, he finds himself going the distance to help out Bartleby. Bartleby is a copyist hired by the narrator who gives a hard time by not doing his work and eventually not doing anything at all. His mysterious tendencies somehow attract the narrator and cause his many attempts in assisting Bartleby.
