Within a story, animals are often portrayed as weak and helpless, unable to move beyond the control of their human masters. Other times, they serve as strong and hostile creatures. John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, however, uses animals to represent unique concepts: dreams, innocence and loneliness. Despite their innocent natures, all of the animals are met with death, creating loneliness for those around them. Animals play an important role in much of the symbolism found within the novel.
She does not even care about the death of her former lover, the Great Gatsby, which proved that the love between Daisy and Gatsby is not true love at all. Hope is disillusioned by their untrue love. Another person that chooses not to come is Gatsby’s work partner, Wolfshiem. He says that “he cannot come down now as (he is) tied up in some very
Whitman made every attempt possible to stay away from his family’s farm and to not become a farmer, which his father strongly pushed for (Folsom and Price 2). After the fires in New York, he moved back home, but did not go near farming instead turning to teaching (Folsom and Price 2). Walt Whitman’s basic teaching methods were simple and somewhat new to the era. He knew basic reading and writing, but he was a very profound writer and did not discipline children the
He sparsely uses punctuation, which creates the illusion that the rules and conventions of writing do not matter in this post-apocalyptic world; it creates a sense of disorder as the importance of the ‘normal’ means nothing anymore. McCarthy doesn’t use apostrophes in his writing; ‘dont’ is the word he uses in place of ‘don’t.’ This relates to the theme of disorder as McCarthy is revealing to the reader that it is such a ‘barren, silent, godless’ world there is no hope for the previous code returning anytime soon. McCarthy’s lack of punctuation, including commas, gives his sentences a running feel: ‘He dreamt of walking in a flowering wood where birds flew before them he and the child and the sky was aching blue but he was learning how to wake himself from just such siren worlds.’ The lack of commas reflects the ‘barren’ land as there is a desolate mood to the sentences. This also reveals that McCarthy wants the character of the man to be seen as a man who is solely focused on looking after and caring for his son and information he would previously have had a care for are not important anymore.

Questions on Section 4 1. Why does Steinbeck present Crooks to have a room of his own in the barn and does not sleep with the other men in the bunkhouse? In Chapter Four, Steinbeck gives Crooks a thorough introduction, particularly in describing Crooks himself and his living quarters. Since Crooks is black, he is forced to live apart from the other white workers; clearly, racism was part of this culture and era. Crooks lives/sleeps in a shed attached to the barn.
On the other hand, another example is “No dark, no dam, no earth, no grass” this suggests that the animals have no protection from sunlight, and that they have no mother so that means that they also have no natural provider. However, another example to show the effect of consumerism is “Mam get us one of those to keep” suggests the demand of the children and that they show no appreciation towards the animals making the animals uncomfortable. Larkin also shows this by stating this, for example “Living toys are something novel” suggests the children use the animals as toys, making the animals uncomfortable and the children show no love or even cherish their pet. The word
The reason why it was only them two together was because they had no family and no other friends that would be able to tolerate or handle them. In the text Lennie had wanted George to tell him how their relationship was. He said “Guys like us, that work on ranches, are the loneliest guys in the world. They got no family...”(Steinbeck 13). After George explained, Lennie clearly stated that “But not us!
It is also made clear to the reader why Grendel has no social life due to the fact that he simply wants nothing to do with those around him; however there is only one point of view throughout the poem which makes the reader wonder if there is more to Grendel than a beast. We know nothing of his background of why he acts the way he does, we have no clue as to how others have acted toward him in the past, and for how long these situations lasted. Grendel is just a misunderstood character. Throughout the poem there is valid reason as to why someone would be able to empathize toward Grendel.
