Lennie is made a more believable character by Steinbeck comparing him to a bear. Ironically lennies name was Lennie Small but he was far from this. ‘He walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws’. This gives Lennie the actions of a bear , making him walk and act like a bear. His hands are referred to as ‘paws’ to signify size and strength.
His name can be said as an oxymoron. Steinbeck adds early in the book, “Huge man, shapeless face,large pale eyes,wide shoulders,walks heavily with arms hung loosely” (2). This shows that Lennie is a very big figure and makes him stick out against the average man. This could be a direct correlation that Steinbeck does to make Lennie's disability stick out more and make it more perceivable to the reader. Lennie is often depicted as animalistic in this book as well.
First reason is that the Spinosauras has a height of 14 ft. but don’t forget that it has a spine growing on its back, while the T-Rex is only 13 ft. Second reason is that the speed of the Spino is fast and it will be harder for the T-Rex for it focus on it and, cause a full force attack on the Spino because the T-Rex also has bad eyesight. Last but not least is its body shape is made so it would be harder for threats inflict damage upon. Let’s see who the dominant dino is! Height plays a big role in the dino world if a dinosaur is small the tall dino would have a big advantage over it because of its height. The Spinosauras was over 13ft.
The female centaur is smaller than the male centaur. From what is visible beneath the fatal claws of the tiger, one could tell that the human and horse halves of the female centaur's body are fairer then that of the alive male counter part. The male centaur's torso is tan and muscular displaying the god-like image that the Greeks created their human forms under. The male centaur also shows dominance by the stance and position the artist shaped him in. He is reared up on his hind equine legs while he is lifting a massive boulder over his head.

In this essay I will be looking at the relationship between George and Lennie in Chapters one and six. In chapter one we are introduced by Steinbeck to the two main characters in the book, they’re on the run from their home town ‘Weed’. The two men are both known for their distinct personalities, George who seems to be the more Dominant male and Lennie who is described as more like an animal ‘ dragging his feet a little, The way a bear drags his paws. ‘Lennie dabbled his big paw in the water and wiggled his fingers.’ These quotations tell us that Lennie isn’t the same as everyone else he has a disability. We learn in the novel that Lennie’s Aunt Clara had previously died and George had taken the responsibility to look after him.
Whereas the power of authority is portrayed through Curly and his father. Lennie is a big guy, with great physical strength, but he doesn’t know how to use it. His strength is a reoccurring theme throughout the book. When George was talking to Slim about the previous life he was living with Lennie, he told him, “coulda bust every bone in my body”. This shows the strength that Lennie has over George.
Fish are often used to show that something is dead, and the same goes for Curley's wife here. If she is moving around like that of a fish, then we can assume the worst. Metaphor: ~"...the way a bear drags his paws." and "Lennie dabbed his big paw in the water..." Lennie is metaphorically referred to several times as a bear because of his large structure and his crushing strength. ~"He was the prince of the ranch...His hatchet face was ageless."
The Growling, howling, and snarling sounds that haunted my dreams as a child are still the sounds I think of when the conversation turns to wolves. The growling, howling, and snarling I’m referring to isn’t coming from wolves but the people fighting for and against the repopulation of the species. So what’s the truth about wolf reintroduction? Why is there such a heated debate? One side of the argument states they were hunted to the brink of extinction for a reason, the other side praising this majestic animal for its ability to live and thrive in the face of such adversity.
Of Mice and Men – Power Of Mice and Men is a film produced in 1992, depicting the American world during the late 1920’s Great Depression. This event influenced the lives of the characters in the story and of millions of people in real life; in fact, the movie is an adaptation of a novel which was written during the Great Depression, explaining where and how the author of the novel - and consequently, the writers of the movie - got their main themes, ideas and setting from. The author has stylized and exaggerated Of Mice and Men as even though he was influenced by the Great Depression [like in the story], and the novella has evidence that it may have been directly influenced by the author’s life, Of Mice and Men can be considered as a work of fiction and as a result,
