He has his own room in the barn because he is prohibited from sharing a room with the white men. Candy, looking in awe at Crooks’ room, says “Must be nice to have a room all to yourself”’ Crooks answers with “And a manure pile under the window, Sure it’s swell” (82). This separation makes Crooks more isolated than any other characters because of his lack of human interaction, which causes him extreme loneliness. “I tell ya a guy gets too lonely and he gets sick” (80). This also causes him extreme loneliness.
The one cassava farm that had ravaged had not lasted long and there seem to be no rabbits or birds anywhere. They are even so desperate that when they come across a little boy eating two ears of corn, they steal it from him and share it among themselves. His parents do not confront the boys about their behavior, because they seem to know their desperate situation. In fact, later the little boy’s mother gives each of them an ear of corn. This makes Ishmael feel guilty for only a few minutes, because in his position, there isn’t much time for remorse.
Who Shot Mr.Burns 09/26/11 Barney Gumble- Innocence A minor character has not been suspected/ been evident. He is a functional (calm, harmless and very affirmative) person when consuming alcohol on a daily basis. He is too short-minded to remember something promising or any commitment. Due to the affect of Mr.Burns’s faults with the factory opening near Moe’s Tavern, the bar closed down. Angrily he said “Damn Burns, let me just get one thing,” and grabbed a shotgun.
While Michael and Mama are walking in a real nasty part of town Michael says, “ I got your back.” it is a simple phrase, however, Mama knows he won’t let anything bad happen to her. Another character Michael can be compared to is Travis. They are both young and innocent and have never had a bed to their own. It is a small connection but it its and excellent example of the horrible poverty they have in common. In The Blindside, Mama shows Michael his room and he says he has never had one before, she asks him if he is talking about a room to himself and Michael says, “No, a
He also thinks blind people cant smoke cigarettes. He looks at Robert smoking a cigarette he is appalled that he is able to do so because he read somewhere that they cant see their exhale, but when he learns that Robert can indeed smoke a cigarette it threw out the one thing he thought he knew about blind people, “ I remembered having read somewhere that the blind didn’t smoke because, as speculation had it, they couldn’t see the smoke the inhaled… This blind man filled his ashtray and my wife emptied it”(93). This opens his mind a little and this is when he tries to understand this
In most people’s minds a simple apology letter from a business is template on a computer in which your name and problem will be inserted into the blanks. We expect them to be short, to the point and most definitely mass produced. George Saunders turns this system completely upside down, which brings laughter out of the reader. First of all the apology letter is written by an employee of the business during his lunch break- this never happens, a business man does not take his own personal time to write an apology letter to a customer. Also this apology letter was very personal, another thing we do not expect to come out of an apology letter.
English – Stream of Consciousness 12/09/2012 Cherry - Monologue Lewis, ah Lewis. The first man since entering this disgusting place that’s actually cared about me. He cares, unlike the others, Zach and Henry are always too drugged to show emotion, Roy only holds feelings for himself and Doug... He’s just a cat burning tyrant! I..I hate him, I hate all of them, but not, not Lewis... Lewis cares. He’s not like the other guys, he won’t hurt me like they did, he wouldn’t put me here... Would he?
It was in the early 50’s where he first began entwined with the mob. The mob was on a turning point in the early 50’s. Though he never took part in any mob activities, he still gathered money from family that did. He never did any mob dealings because he felt that if he ever needed to gain money or possessions, he would gain them for the benefit of others. “This is my personal favorite characteristic of him, and most likely the smartest decision he ever made in his life.” States my Aunt Jenny about the mobster deals that Da’dooch turns down.
O’Brien says, “The man who opened the door that day is the hero of my life”(143). Elroy Berdahl, the owner of the Tip Top Lodge, is a sort of silent company. He does not ask questions despite Tim’s underlying suspicion that he knows exactly what is going on. Tim says “What I remember more than anything is the man’s willfull, almost ferocious silence. In all that time together, all those hours, he never asked the obvious questions:... My hunch, though, is that he already knew.
Crooks notes- For Controlled Assesment- 21st Feb 2012- Of Mice and Men · He has seen many men come and go, all dreaming of buying a piece of land, but is now cynical, as no one has ever achieved it. · He is always called the 'nigger' by the men, which shows how racism is taken for granted. The men don't mean to insult Crooks every time they call him this, but they never think to use his name. · This shows signs of isolation. He feels isolated and bitter.
