Along the way however, the way in which the characters lived changed as well. During Kracha’s time, money struggles dominated his life. During his efforts to obtain stability, he worked on the railroad, then moved to the steel mills, where years later, proceeded to open and own a butcher shop, then finally ended up back at the mills. His interests were not in updating and owning a home; rather, they lied in drinking, cheating on his dying wife and leaving three children on the backburner. Mike, however, was committed to his family and did not like the idea of keeping boarders to obtain more money for he didn’t want his wife, Mary, to overexert herself.
Apparently, the black one has been sick. Mr. Pluto gets theatrical and says that the horses have been scared by "haunted things" (7.31). Thomas thinks Pluto looks like he might be laughing just a little bit, but Mr. Small doesn't see it. Mr. Pluto says that when it's nighttime, the black horse gets so spooked that Mr. Pluto has "to hobble him so he won't burst his heart with running" (7.41). Mr. Pluto does something to keep the horse from being able to run at night.)
All that comes out from his mouth is this disgustingly cringing hissing sound that other bugs make. I find it hard to be in the same room as him knowing that he is nothing but an insect. I honestly do not think he even thinks like that of a human anymore or like that of the way he used to think. Gregor doesn't drink milk anymore. It used to be his favorite drink.

They got this by the way the soldiers stood up in mud and cold water which caused the feet to go numb and give them trench foot. The only way you could stop from getting this was to constantly change your socks but most soldiers ignored this as it was hard to take their shoes off in such agony. Another condition was the rats which were infested with diseases and sometimes could be deadly. The rats lived off dead bodies and sometimes bit sleeping soldiers giving them illnesses. One of the exciting aspects of WW1 was the use of different types of weapons, the main weapon that every soldier had, another weapon was the gases, poison gas which caused blindness and death by choking, mustard gas which killed you instantly if breathed, they stopped using mustard gas though as a lot of soldiers died from it as if they threw it and the wind went the opposite direction they mostly killed themselves!
Unfortunately there were conflicts with his work schedule and he was often late to class. Booker later Got out of his mining job and became a servant to an old woman named Mrs. Ruffiner.

Stephenie Stevenson Christine Warrington ENG 202 NA 5 November 2013 The story Metamorphosis, demonstrates how we allow every day life to over take us to the point that we change into something that we are unable to identify. Gregror did everything for everyone, but nothing for himself. He didn’t enjoy life because he was too busy working at a job that he hated in order to pay off his parents debts and to take care of the household; while they did nothing to help or to show him any appreciation. This story also show how one can give their all and when they are in need of help those that he or she helped along the way will turn their backs with no regard to you. While I was reading, “Metamorphosis”, it made me view life in a different way, and made me come to a decision of taking time out for myself in order to enjoy every essence of being me, and not neglect myself.
George stated at the beginning that Lennie always gets into troubles. “You do bad things and I go to get you out,” (Steinbeck, 11). When Lennie held Curley's wife tighter and tighter we all knew whats going to happen because first he killed a mouse and he thought he will not do the same thing with a puppy. John Steinbeck used his creativity use of foreshadowing to make the book more enjoyable to read. Lennie seems to be very strong, but in reality he is the weakest character in the novel “Of Mice And Men”, because of the lack of his mentality ability and the missing characteristic to think for himself and make his own decisions.

“Here comes the carnival,” they’d say. They weren’t able to keep themselves clean on their way into town because they had to go by dirt road. Being ostracized, they were shunned by society as nothings and ridiculed. They worked so hard and tried to keep up with school but would be way too tired, they fell asleep in class and would get sent home with notes about being inattentive. This wasn’t their fault.
