He lies somewhere in between. More of an antihero who is bound to help his brother find happiness because he is the only one capable of
My experience was significantly different from Rodriguez’s. His life at home and at school is even almost exactly opposite of my own. My family played a key part in my life whereas his was almost nonexistent. I believe he took the wrong path. He completely ignored his family to just work obsessively in school, but took absolutely nothing away from it because he was only working to be recognized, not to learn.
Gab Rudnitsky Amusing the Millions Essay The Turn of the Century After the civil war completely demolished the economic conditions throughout the United States, it was crucial for the citizens to work hard to bring them back to their prewar conditions; with all of this hard work brought stress. People were constantly busying around in the cities and going to work with little to no leisure time. In fact, there were not very many ways to spend their leisure time. Americans needed to find escapes from their everyday life in order to keep at least some of their sanity. New York City’s Central Park was their first attempt at an escape.

Although Parker was the obvious choice because of being ill and having no family, he was young and had an entire life ahead of him, and most importantly, did not give consent to the others to sacrifice himself.

Though they could’ve sacrificed themselves, they did what they need to, survive, even if that meant making a meal out of an innocent 17 year old boy. Life is valuable, and in the end, I think that the three men made a tough, but good
It was difficult for George that Lennie was mentally challenged because he had to care for him. Lennie had no one so George felt obligated to be there for him even if it caused him not to have a normal life. George was always looking out for him and always tried to keep him out of trouble. He was related to him but knew him since they were young boys. They had to leave Weeds because a girl accused Lennie of
He felt abandoned because he also knew himself that he was only taken in by family for his work ethics but not for the caring and love of a child. The lack of love that he received at a young age for him influenced his decision of running away and living out into the dessert at the age of fourteen.

To have a true sense of belonging you have to be adaptable and willing to move on with any changes. This is represented through Skrzynecki’s story as he was constantly on the move never really settling down in one place for a lengthy period of time. But through all this, even if deep inside he felt that he did not truly belong, there is always something or someone to which you are attatched.
